NU SKIN ENTERPRISES, INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


1.     THE COMPANY

  Nu Skin Enterprises, Inc. (the “Company”) is a leading, global direct selling company that develops and distributes premium-quality, innovative personal care products and nutritional supplements through a large network of independent distributors. The Company also distributes technology and telecommunications products and services through its distributors. The Company reports revenue from four geographic regions: North Asia, which consists of Japan and South Korea; Southeast Asia, which consists of Australia, Hong Kong (including Macau), Malaysia, New Zealand, China, the Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan and Thailand; North America, which consists of the United States and Canada; and Other Markets, which consists of the Company’s markets in Brazil, Europe, Guatemala and Mexico (the Company’s subsidiaries operating in these countries are collectively referred to as the “Subsidiaries”).

  The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the Subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial information as of September 30, 2002, and for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001. The results of operations of any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the fiscal year. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.

2.     NET INCOME PER SHARE

  Net income per share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods presented. Additionally, diluted earnings per share data give effect to all potentially dilutive common shares that were outstanding during the periods presented.

3.     DIVIDENDS PER SHARE

  In July 2002, the board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.06 per share for all classes of common stock. This quarterly cash dividend of approximately $4.9 million was paid on September 25, 2002, to stockholders of record on September 6, 2002.

4.     DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

  The Company recognizes all derivatives as either assets or liabilities, with the instruments measured at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded each period in current earnings or other comprehensive income, depending on the intended use of the derivative and its resulting designation.

  The Company’s Subsidiaries enter into significant transactions with each other and with third parties which may not be denominated in the respective Subsidiary’s functional currency. The Company seeks to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates through the use of foreign currency exchange contracts and through certain intercompany loans of foreign currency. The Company does not use such derivative financial instruments for trading or

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements



  speculative purposes. The Company regularly monitors its foreign currency risks and periodically takes measures to reduce the impact of foreign exchange fluctuations on the Company’s operating results. Gains and losses on certain intercompany loans of foreign currency are recorded as other income or expense in the consolidated statements of income.

  At September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, the Company held forward contracts designated as foreign currency cash flow hedges with notional amounts totaling approximately $92.0 million and $55.0 million, respectively, to hedge foreign currency intercompany transactions. All such contracts were denominated in Japanese yen. The net gains on foreign currency cash flow hedges recorded in current earnings were $0.8 million and $4.6 million for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2002, respectively, and were $1.1 million and $4.7 million for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2001, respectively. Those contracts held at September 30, 2002 have maturities through June 2003 and, accordingly, all unrealized gains on foreign currency cash flow hedges included in other comprehensive income at September 30, 2002 will be recognized in current earnings over the next twelve-month period.

5.     REPURCHASE OF COMMON STOCK

  During the three-month periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, the Company repurchased approximately 150,000 and 480,000 shares of Class A common stock, respectively, for approximately $1.7 million and $3.5 million, respectively. During the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, the Company repurchased approximately 752,000 and 1,977,000 shares of Class A common stock, respectively, for approximately $8.7 million and $14.2 million, respectively.

7.     GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

  The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“SFAS 142”) effective January 1, 2002. Under the new standard, goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets are no longer amortized but are subject to annual impairment tests. Other intangible assets with finite lives, such as developed technology, will continue to be amortized over their useful lives. The transitional impairment tests were completed and did not result in an impairment charge.

  In accordance with SFAS 142, prior period amounts were not restated. A reconciliation of the previously reported net income and earnings per share for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2001, to the amounts adjusted for the reduction of amortization expense, net of the related income tax effect, is as follows:
