USANA HEALTH SCIENCES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousands, except per share data)
(unaudited)
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited interim consolidated financial information of USANA Health Sciences, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the Company or USANA) has been prepared in accordance with Article 10 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the accompanying interim consolidated financial information contains all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Companys financial position as of September 30, 2006, and results of operations for the quarters and nine months ended October 1, 2005 and September 30, 2006. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. The results of operations for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2006 may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 30, 2006.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In June 2006, the FASB issued FIN No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes-an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income tax positions. FIN 48 defines the threshold for recognizing tax return positions in the financial statements as more likely than not that the position is sustainable, based on technical merits of the provision. FIN 48 also provides guidance on the measurement, classification and disclosure of tax return positions in the financial statements. FIN 48 is effective for the first reporting period beginning after December 15, 2006, with the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle recorded as an adjustment to the beginning balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. The Companys accounting for income tax contingency reserves is not based on the provisions of FIN 48 because its financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 have been issued without the early adoption of the provisions of this interpretation. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting FIN 48 on its consolidated financial statements.
In June 2006, the FASB ratified the consensuses of Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 06-3, How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement (That Is, Gross versus Net Presentation) (EITF 06-3). EITF 06-3 clarifies that the scope of this Issue includes any tax assessed by a governmental authority that is imposed concurrently with or subsequent to a revenue-producing transaction between a seller and a customer and indicates that the income statement presentation on either a gross basis or a net basis of the taxes within the scope of the Issue is an accounting policy decision that should be disclosed. Furthermore, for taxes reported on a gross basis, an enterprise should disclose the amounts of those taxes in interim and annual financial statements for each period for which an income statement is presented. The consensus is effective, through retrospective application, for periods beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company currently presents taxes on a net basis within the scope of this issue.
In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 108 (SAB 108) Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements. SAB 108 provides guidance on the consideration of the effects of prior year misstatements in quantifying current year misstatements for the purpose of a materiality assessment. SAB 108 requires registrants to quantify the impact of correcting misstatements on the current year financial statements using both the rollover and iron curtain approaches. The rollover approach quantifies a misstatement based on the amount of the error originating in the current year income statement. The iron curtain approach quantifies a misstatement based on the effects of correcting the misstatement existing in the balance sheet at the end of the current year, irrespective of the misstatements year(s) of origination. The Company will be required to adopt the provisions of SAB 108 for its fiscal year ending December 30, 2006. Management believes the provisions of SAB 108 will have no material effect on the Companys financial position or results of operations.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement addresses how to calculate fair value measurements required or permitted under other accounting pronouncements. Accordingly, this statement does not require any new fair value measurements. However, for some entities, the application of this statement will change current practice. SFAS No. 157 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard.
NOTE A EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, using the modified prospective application. Under this method, compensation expense includes the estimated fair value of equity awards earned during the reported periods. Expense for equity awards earned is determined based on grant date fair value previously calculated for pro forma disclosures under SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based CompensationTransition and DisclosureAn Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123. Equity-based compensation expense recognized for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2006 was comprised as follows:

The impact of equity-based compensation expense on net earnings and earnings per share for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2006 can be found in the pro forma table in this footnote. The Company currently estimates that equity-based compensation expense will reduce basic and diluted earnings per share in 2006 by $0.18. The following table shows the remaining unrecognized compensation expense on a pre-tax basis related to all types of equity awards outstanding as of September 30, 2006. This table does not include an estimate for future grants that may be issued.

Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), the Company presented all tax benefits resulting from equity-based compensation as cash flows from operating activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. SFAS No. 123(R) requires cash flows resulting from tax deductions in excess of the grant-date fair value of equity awards to be included in cash flows from financing activities. The excess tax benefits of $2,109 related to equity-based compensation included in cash flows from financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 would have been included in cash flows from operating activities if the Company had not adopted SFAS No. 123(R).

NOTE A EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION CONTINUED
The Company has elected to follow the transition guidance indicated in Paragraph 81 of SFAS No. 123(R) for purposes of calculating the pool of excess tax benefits available to absorb possible future tax deficiencies. As such, the Company has calculated its historical APIC pool of windfall tax benefits using the long-form method.
As permitted by SFAS No. 148, prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), the Company accounted for equity award expense under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, under which no compensation was recognized in the Companys financial statements for the quarter and nine months ended October 1, 2005. In connection with the modified prospective method, disclosures made for periods prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) do not reflect restated amounts.
The following table presents equity-based compensation expense included in the Companys financial statements for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2006. Also illustrated are the pro forma effects on net earnings and earnings per share as if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, as amended by SFAS No. 148, to equity-based compensation for the quarter and nine months ended October 1, 2005:

* For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2006, earnings per basic and diluted share were reduced $0.05 and $0.13, respectively, from what earnings would have been exclusive of equity-based compensation.
The Companys 2006 Equity Incentive Award Plan (the 2006 Plan), which was approved by the shareholders at the Annual Shareholders Meeting held on April 19, 2006, allows for the grant of various equity awards including stock-settled stock appreciation rights, stock options, deferred stock units, and other types of equity-based awards to the Companys officers, key employees, and non-employee directors. Prior to the approval of the 2006 Plan, the Company maintained the 2002 Stock Option Plan (the 2002 Plan), which was limited to the granting of incentive and non-qualified stock options. Between January 1, 2006 and April 19, 2006, the Company granted options for 175 shares of stock under the 2002 Plan. Options granted under the 2002 Plan generally vest 20% each year on the anniversary of the grant date and expire five to ten years from the date of grant. The 2006 Plan replaces the 2002 Plan for all future grants, and no new awards will be granted under the 2002 Plan. The 2006 Plan authorized 5,000 shares of common stock for issuance, of which 4,654 shares were available for future issuance as of September 30, 2006. Of
10
NOTE A EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION CONTINUED
the 346 shares granted under the 2006 Plan, 340 were stock-settled stock appreciation rights, 3 were stock options, and 3 were deferred stock units. The Companys Compensation Committee has initially determined that awards to be granted to officers and key employees under the 2006 Plan will generally vest 20% each year on the anniversary of the grant date and expire five to five and one-half years from the date of grant. Awards of stock options and stock-settled stock appreciation rights to be granted to non-employee directors will generally vest 25% each quarter commencing on the last day of the fiscal quarter in which the awards are granted, and will expire five years to five and one-half years from the date of grant. Awards of deferred stock units are full-value shares at the date of grant, vesting over the periods of service, and do not have expiration dates.
The Company continues to use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate fair value of equity awards, which requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected stock price volatility. Prior to the implementation of SFAS No. 123(R), expected volatility represented the historical share prices of the Companys common stock over the expected life of the award and the risk-free interest rate was based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve on the date of grant with respect to the expected life of the award. Expected life was based on the contractual term of the award. Grant price was the market value on the date of grant, established by averaging the closing price of the Companys common stock over the five trading days preceding the date of grant.
Preceding the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), the Company engaged a third-party valuation expert to analyze assumptions used by the Company and to determine changes necessary for a more accurate reflection of the estimated fair value of equity awards granted by the Company. Based on this analysis, the Company decided that, effective January 1, 2006, expected volatility will be calculated by averaging the historical volatility of the Company and a peer group index. The risk-free interest rate will continue to be based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve on the date of grant with respect to the expected life of the award. Also, effective January 1, 2006, due to the plain vanilla characteristics of the Companys stock options, the simplified method, as permitted by the guidance provided in Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, will be used to determine expected life while permitted. Awards will continue to be granted at the market value on the date of grant, which is established by averaging the closing price of the Companys common stock over the five trading days preceding the date of grant. We estimate that the equity-based compensation expense included in earnings before income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was decreased by approximately $254 due to the above mentioned change in assumptions used to estimate fair value of awards granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2006.
The following table includes weighted-average assumptions used to calculate the fair value of awards granted during the periods indicated, as well as the weighted-average fair value of awards granted. Deferred stock units are full-value shares at the date of grant and have been excluded from the table below.

NOTE E GOODWILL
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price paid for acquired entities over the fair market value of the net assets acquired. As of September 30, 2006, goodwill totaled $5,690, comprising $4,267 that was associated with the July 1, 2003 acquisition of Wasatch Product Development, Inc. (WPD) and $1,423 that was associated with the February 1, 2004 acquisition of FMG. No events have occurred subsequent to either acquisition that have resulted in an impairment of the original goodwill amounts initially recorded from the transactions. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, goodwill must be tested at least annually and if the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss must be recognized in an amount equal to that excess.
During July 2006, an independent third party conducted the annual impairment test of goodwill related to the acquisition of WPD. The fair market value of the net assets of WPD was estimated using widely accepted valuation methods, including both a market approach and an income approach. In determining the fair market value as part of the impairment test, certain assumptions were used to project future results that management believes are reasonable, given current facts and circumstances; however, there can be no assurance that, under the assumptions used, these projections will materialize. Based upon the results of the independent appraisal, the fair market value of the net assets of WPD has been determined to be in excess of the carrying amount of the net assets, and, therefore, no impairment loss for goodwill has been recognized.

NOTE G COMMON STOCK AND EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share are based on the weighted-average number of shares outstanding for each period. Weighted-average shares issued and weighted-average shares redeemed during the periods indicated have been included in the calculation of weighted-average shares outstanding for basic earnings per share. Diluted earnings per common share are based on shares outstanding (computed under basic EPS) and potentially dilutive shares. Shares included in diluted earnings per share calculations include equity-based awards that are in-the-money but have not yet been exercised.

Options to purchase 218 shares of stock were excluded from the computation of EPS for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, due to their exercise price being greater than the average market price of the shares.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, and October 1, 2005, the Company expended $33,105 and $15,001 to purchase 868 and 353 shares, respectively, which reduced the number of shares issued and outstanding for these periods.
NOTE H SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Companys operations are distinguished by regions served and method of distribution employed. Two reportable business segments are recognized by the Company: Direct Selling and Contract Manufacturing. These operating segments are evaluated regularly by management in determining the allocation of resources and in assessing the performance of the Company. Management evaluates performance based on net sales and the amount of operating income or loss. Segment profit or loss is based on profit or loss from operations before income taxes. All intercompany transactions, intercompany profit, currency gains and losses, interest income and expense, and income taxes are excluded from the Companys determination of segment profit or loss.
Direct Selling
The Companys Direct Selling segment develops, manufactures, and distributes nutritional, weight management, and personal care products, and is the primary segment in which the Company operates. Products are distributed through a network marketing system using independent distributors referred to as Associates. Products are also sold directly to Preferred Customers, who purchase products for personal use and are not permitted to resell or distribute the products.
Selected financial information for the Direct Selling segment is reported for two geographic regions: North America and Pacific Rim. North America includes the United States, Canada, and Mexico. All other entities outside of North America are located within the Pacific Rim region, which includes Australia-New Zealand, Hong Kong, Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, and
16
NOTE H SEGMENT INFORMATION CONTINUED
Singapore. The Pacific Rim region will also include Malaysia, where, as previously announced, we expect to begin operations in the first quarter of 2007.
The profitability of each reported region within the Direct Selling segment is representative of what is controllable within that region by local management and is not necessarily indicative of actual profit or loss generated by a fully burdened region. However, the presentation of the data is consistent with how management evaluates each region and the respective markets within that region.
Contract Manufacturing
Operating activities for the Contract Manufacturing segment primarily exist for the production of the Companys Sensé line of skin and personal care products. In addition to the production of the Sensé product line, contract manufacturing services are provided to a limited number of external customers. This segment includes operations located in Draper, Utah and at a facility in Tianjin, China, which the Company acquired in October 2005. Manufacturing and packaging activities for the Companys Sensé products began at the Draper, Utah facility during the fourth quarter of 2003. In the third quarters of 2005 and 2006, we had three and two external customers, respectively, that accounted for more than ten percent of segment sales.
Financial information summarized by operating segment and geographic region for the quarters ended October 1, 2005 and September 30, 2006 is listed below:

Item 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of USANAs financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto contained in this quarterly report.
General
USANA Health Sciences, Inc. develops and manufactures high-quality nutritional, weight management, and personal care products. We market our products on the basis of high levels of bioavailability, safety, and quality. We distribute our products through a network marketing system using independent distributors whom we refer to as Associates. As of September 30, 2006, we had approximately 145 thousand active Associates worldwide. We also sell products directly to Preferred Customers, who purchase our products for personal use and are not permitted to resell or distribute the products. As of September 30, 2006, we had approximately 76 thousand active Preferred Customers worldwide. The majority of sales in the Direct Selling segment come from Associates. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, sales to Associates accounted for approximately 86% of net sales for the Direct Selling segment. For purposes of this report, we only count as active customers those Associates and Preferred Customers who have purchased products from USANA at any time during the most recent three-month period.
Our fiscal year end is the Saturday closest to December 31 of each year. Fiscal year 2005 ended on December 31, 2005, and fiscal year 2006 will end on December 30, 2006.
As discussed more fully in Note H Segment Information to the Consolidated Financial Statements, we have two reportable segments: Direct Selling and Contract Manufacturing. The Direct Selling segment constitutes our principal line of business: developing, manufacturing, and distributing nutritional, weight management, and personal care products through a network marketing system. The Contract Manufacturing segment consists of manufacturing and packaging the Companys Sensé product line of skin and personal care products as well as contract manufacturing services provided to a limited number of third-party customers.
Our primary product lines within the Direct Selling segment consist of USANAâ Nutritionals and Sensé beautiful scienceâ (Sensé). The USANAâ Nutritionals product line is further categorized into three separate classifications: Essentials, Optimizers, and Macro Optimizers. Additionally, we offer combination packs, which generally contain a variety of products from each product line.
USANAâ Nutritionals.
The Essentials include core vitamin and mineral supplements that provide a foundation of advanced nutrition for every age group. To help meet the essential nutrient needs of children and teens during the years of development, when good nutrition is especially important, USANA offers: UsanimalsÔ, a formulation of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, in an easy-to-take chewable tablet for children 13 months to 12 years old; and Body RoxÔ, a nutritional supplement containing 31 essential vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and cofactors for adolescents 12 to 18 years old. USANAâ Essentials for adults is a combination of two products: Mega Antioxidant, a balanced, high-potency blend of 30 vitamins, antioxidants, and other important nutrients to support cellular metabolism and to counteract free-radical damage; and Chelated Mineral, a complete spectrum of essential minerals in balanced, highly bioavailable forms. The USANAâ Essentials are also provided in a convenient pillow pack format, HealthPak 100Ô.
Optimizers are more targeted supplements designed to meet individual health and nutritional needs. Products in this category include Proflavanolâ, Poly Câ, Procosaâ II, CoQuinoneâ 30, BiOmega-3Ô, E-PrimeÔ, Active CalciumÔ, Body RoxÔ - Active CalciumÔ Chewable, PhytoEstrinÔ, Palmetto PlusÔ, Ginkgo-PSÔ, Garlic ECÔ, Visionexâ, OptOmegaâ, and Hepasil DTX. This product category also now includes the unique TenX Antioxidant Blast, which is an antioxidant-rich supplement bar that was introduced at our International Convention held in September 2006.
The Macro Optimizers include healthy, low-glycemic convenience foods and other related products. NutrimealÔ, Fibergyâ, and SoyaMaxÔ drink mixes, and Nutrition and Fibergy Bars are included in this product category. Also included in
20
this product category is our RESET Weight Management Program designed to assist in a long-term change in diet, and the accompanying RESET kit. The RESET kit is conveniently packaged in a self-contained box with the USANA products needed to complete a five-day regimen, designed to assist in losing weight and providing a start to a long-term change in diet.
Sensé - beautiful scienceâ
The Sensé product line includes premium, science-based personal care products that support healthy skin and hair by providing advanced topical nourishment, moisturization, and protection. This line is formulated with our patent-pending, self-preserving technology, which uses a unique blend of botanicals, antioxidants, and active ingredients to keep products fresh, without adding traditional chemical preservatives. Products in this line include Perfecting Essence, Gentle Daily Cleanser, Hydrating Toner, Daytime Protective Emulsion, Eye Nourisher, Night Renewal, Serum Intensive, Rice Bran Polisher, Revitalizing Shampoo, Nourishing Conditioner, Firming Body Nourisher, Energizing Shower Gel, and Intensive Hand Therapy.
All Other
In addition to our principal product lines, we have developed and sell to Associates materials and online tools designed to assist them in building their businesses and selling products. These resource materials and sales tools include product brochures and business forms that are designed by us internally and printed by outside publishers. Materials written and developed by us for CDs and DVDs are published by our wholly-owned subsidiary USANA Studios, aka FMG Productions. We also provide re-prints from time to time from other commercial publications that feature USANA and may be used as a sales tool. As an example, in September 2006 we purchased large quantities of the November issue of Success from Home magazine featuring USANA to resell to our Associates. Additionally, we periodically contract with authors and publishers to produce or provide books, tapes, and other items dealing with health topics and personal motivation, which we then sell to Associates. New Associates are required to purchase a starter kit, which contains USANA training materials that assist the Associates in starting and growing their businesses. Associates do not earn commissions on the sale of starter kits or sales tools.
The following table summarizes the approximate percentage of total product revenue for the Direct Selling segment contributed by major product line for the nine months ended as of the dates indicated:

Forward-Looking Statements
The statements contained in this report that are not purely historical are considered to be forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act. These statements represent our expectations, hopes, beliefs, anticipations, commitments, intentions and strategies regarding the future. They may be identified by the use of words or phrases such as believes, expects, anticipates, should, plans, estimates, and potential, among others. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements contained in Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations regarding our financial performance, revenue and expense levels in the future and the sufficiency of our existing assets to fund future operations, growth, and capital spending needs. Readers are cautioned that actual results could differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in these forward-looking statements for the reasons detailed in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K at pages 20 through 30. The fact that some of the risk factors may be the same or similar to our past reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission means only that the risks are present in multiple periods. We believe that many of the risks detailed here and in the Companys other SEC filings are part of doing business in the industry in which we operate and compete and will likely be present in all periods reported. The fact that certain risks are endemic to the industry does not lessen their significance. The forward-looking statements contained in this report are made as of the date of this report and we assume no obligation to update them or to update the reasons why actual results could differ from those projected in such forward-looking statements. Among others, risks and uncertainties that may affect our business, financial condition, performance, development and results of operations include:
· Our ability to attract and maintain a sufficient number of Associates;
· High turnover of Associates;
· Our dependence upon a network marketing system to distribute our products;
· Activities of our independent Associates;
· Our planned expansion into international markets, including delays in commencement of sales in any new market, delays in compliance with local marketing or other regulatory requirements, or changes in target markets;
· Rigorous government scrutiny of network marketing practices;
· Potential political events that may negatively affect economic conditions;
· Potential natural disasters that may negatively affect economic conditions;
· Potential effects of adverse publicity regarding nutritional supplements or the network marketing industry;
· Reliance on key management personnel, including our Founder, Chairman of the Board of Directors, and Chief Executive Officer Myron W. Wentz, Ph.D.;
22
· Extensive government regulation of the Companys products and manufacturing;
· Potential inability to sustain or manage growth, including the failure to continue to develop new products;
· An increase in the amount of Associate incentives paid;
· Our reliance on the use of information technology;
· The adverse effect of the loss of a high-level sponsoring Associate together with a group of leading Associates in that persons downline;
· The loss of product market share or Associates to competitors;
· Potential adverse effects of taxation and transfer pricing regulations including regulations governing distinctions between and Company responsibilities to employees and independent contractors;
· The fluctuation in the value of foreign currencies against the US dollar;
· Our reliance on outside suppliers for raw materials;
· Shortages of raw materials used in certain of our products;
· Significant price increases of our key raw materials;
· Product liability claims and other risks associated with our manufacturing activity;
· Intellectual property risks;
· Liability claims associated with our Athlete Guarantee program; and
· Disruptions to shipping channels used to distribute products to international warehouses.
Summary of Financial Results and Recent Developments
Consolidated net sales for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2006 continued to improve over prior year results, increasing 15.8% for both the quarter and nine month period. Excluding the positive impact of foreign currency fluctuation, sales increased 14.7% and 14.9%, respectively, for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2006. Overall, sales growth can be attributed to an increase in the number of active Associates in most countries within the Direct Selling segment. In terms of sales growth, the third quarter is seasonally our weakest quarter of the year. The summer vacation season in North America, along with the anticipation for new products introduced at our International Convention typically held toward the end of the third quarter each year, generally bring some seasonality and softness to our business in the third quarter.
Net income for the third quarter and first nine months of 2006 increased 1.8% and 5.7%, respectively, over the same periods in 2005. As a percentage of net sales, net income decreased from 12.2% for the third quarter of 2005, to 10.7% for the third quarter of 2006, and from 11.8% for the first nine months of 2005, to 10.8% for the first nine months of 2006. Two items that have most significantly influenced net earnings for the year have been increased net sales and the recognition of equity-based compensation expense as a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) (equity-based compensation expense was not recognized in prior years income statements), which is discussed further below.
One of the key highlights of the current year quarter was the Companys annual International Convention held in Salt Lake City, Utah, where nearly 7,000 Associates from 12 different countries were in attendance. At Convention, we introduced a new Optimizer supplement, TenX Antioxidant Blast, a unique dietary supplement fruit bar that provides the equivalent of two fruit servings and is fortified with important antioxidants, including quercetin and our patented Olivol® olive-fruit extract.

We also announced that we will be featured in the November issue of Success from Home magazine, a commercial publication on home-based business opportunities. We have purchased large quantities of the November issue of this magazine and have priced them for sale to our Associates at cost. We are also offering free shipping of the magazines for a limited time to Associates who maintain a 56-pack on their autoship. In addition, for a limited time Associates who purchase a 56-pack of the Success from Home magazine are eligible to participate in a matching check opportunity. We believe that the above mentioned promotions have the potential to drive distribution of this magazine and ultimately result in additional Associates and higher net sales.
Also at the end of the third quarter we received a business license in Malaysia and subsequently announced that we expect to begin operations there in the first quarter of 2007. In 2007 we will continue to focus on growing our business in existing markets, as well as developing our business in Malaysia.
Implementation of SFAS No. 123(R)
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), which requires equity-based compensation expense to be recognized in financial statements. The Company used the modified prospective application to adopt these provisions. Under this method, compensation expense includes the estimated fair value of equity awards earned during the reported period. Our financial statements for 2006 interim periods reflect equity-based compensation expense, which has not been reflected in either interim or annual financial statements for fiscal years prior to 2006. Equity-based compensation expense recognized in the financial statements for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2006 was as follows:

Net of tax, earnings for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2006 were reduced by $870 thousand and $2.4 million, respectively due to equity-based compensation expense. Earnings per basic and diluted share were reduced $0.05 and $0.13, respectively, from what earnings would have been exclusive of equity-based compensation. The Company currently estimates that equity-based compensation expense will reduce basic and diluted earnings per share in 2006 by $0.18. The following table shows remaining unrecognized compensation expense on a pre-tax basis related to all types of equity awards outstanding as of September 30, 2006. This table does not include an estimate for future grants that may be issued.
