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 five geographic regions: North Asia, which consists of Japan and South Korea; North America, which consists of the United States and Canada; Greater China, which consists of Mainland China, Hong Kong (including Macau) and Taiwan; South Asia/Pacific, which consists of Australia, Malaysia, New Zealand, the Philippines, Singapore and Thailand; 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 June 30, 2003, and for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002. 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, 2002.

2.        STOCK–BASED COMPENSATION

  The Company measures compensation expense for its stock-based employee compensation plans. SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, encourages, but does not require, companies to record compensation cost for stock-based employee compensation plans based on the fair market value of options granted. The Company has chosen to account for stock based compensation using the intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations. Accordingly, because the grant price equals the market price on the date of grant for options issued by the Company, no compensation expense is recognized for stock options issued to employees. On December 31, 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure. SFAS No. 148 requires more prominent and frequent disclosures about the effects of stock-based compensation. The Company will continue to account for its stock based compensation according to the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25. Had compensation cost for the Company’s stock options been recognized based upon the estimated fair value on the grant date under the fair value methodology prescribed

3.        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 gives effect to all potentially dilutive common shares that were outstanding during the periods presented. For the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2003, other stock options totaling 3.7 million and 3.6 million, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because they were anti-dilutive. For the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2002, other stock options totaling 1.5 million and 2.9 million, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because they were anti-dilutive.

4.        DIVIDENDS PER SHARE

  In May 2003, the board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.07 per share for all classes of common stock. This quarterly cash dividend of $5.6 million was paid on June 25, 2003, to stockholders of record on June 6, 2003. Quarterly cash dividends for the six-month period ended June 30, 2002 totaled $11.3 million.

5.        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 third parties which may not be denominated in the respective Subsidiaries’ functional currencies. 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 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 and expense in the consolidated statements of income.

  At June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, the Company held forward contracts designated as foreign currency cash flow hedges with notional amounts totaling approximately $91.0 million and $124.6 million, respectively, to hedge foreign currency intercompany transactions. All such contracts were denominated in Japanese yen. The net impact on foreign currency cash flow hedges recorded in current earnings were losses of $1.5 million and $2.8 million for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2003, respectively, and were gains of $1.5 million and $3.8 million for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2002, respectively. Those contracts held at June 30, 2003 have maturities through June 2004 and accordingly, all unrealized gains on foreign currency cash flow hedges included in other comprehensive income at June 30, 2003 will be recognized in current earnings over the next twelve-month period.

6.        REPURCHASE OF COMMON STOCK

  During the three-month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, the Company repurchased approximately 235,000 and 429,000 shares of Class A common stock, respectively, for approximately $2.3 million and $5.6 million, respectively. During the six-month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, the Company repurchased approximately 794,000 and 602,000 shares of Class A common stock, respectively, for approximately $8.2 million and $7.0 million, respectively.

7.        COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

  The components of comprehensive income, net of related tax, for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, were as follows (in thousands):

8.        SEGMENT INFORMATION

  The Company operates in a single reportable operating segment by selling products to a global network of independent distributors that operates in a seamless manner from market to market. The Company’s largest expense is the commissions paid on product sales through this distributor network. The Company manages its business primarily by managing this global distributor network. However, the Company does recognize revenue from sales to distributors in five geographic regions: North Asia, North America, Greater China, South Asia/Pacific and Other Markets. Revenue generated in each of these regions is set forth below (in thousands):

  $29,418 and $32,487 for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and totaled $58,244 and $65,704 for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

  Long-lived assets
Long-lived assets in Japan were $18,607 and $20,210 as of June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively. Long-lived assets in the United States were $275,025 and $276,030 as of June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively.

9.         NEW PRONOUNCEMENTS

  In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51. The Company is currently evaluating this standard, however, it does not believe it will have a significant effect on its financial statements.

  In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, which is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003, and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. It is anticipated that the financial impact of SFAS 149 will not have a material effect on the Company.
