Forward-Looking Statements
Copyright 2011 eDiets.com, Inc. All Rights Reserved
This presentation contains “forward-looking statements”
within the meaning of the federal securities laws and is
intended to qualify for the Safe Harbor from liability established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995,
including statements and assumptions regarding (i) the size and outlook of the market for our products, (ii) our need
for additional financial support, (iii) our expectation that our
total gross margins and our advertising efficiency will
improve in the future,
(iv) our assumption that we will acquire new customers at an acceptable cost, (v) our
expectation regarding the effectiveness of our advertising and our call center conversion strategies, (vi) our
assumption that we are well-positioned to compete and capture market share, (vii) our expectation regarding our
ability to comply with regulatory requirements, (viii) our assumptions regarding market size, projected results and the
demand for our products and services. These statements and assumptions are based on management’s estimates
and projections with respect to future events and financial performance and are believed to be reasonable, although
they are inherently uncertain and difficult to predict.  Actual results could differ materially from those projected as a
result of certain factors, including (i) our ability to raise additional capital, (ii) our ability to maintain compliance with
regulatory requirements, (iii) our ability to maintain our listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, (iv) our ability to maintain
or improve meal delivery margins and their effect on total gross
margins, (v) our ability to improve advertising
efficiency, (vi) our ability to manage fluctuations in advertising costs, (vii) our ability to sufficiently increase revenues
and maintain expenses and cash capital expenditures at appropriate levels, (viii) the state of the credit and capital
markets, including the level of volatility, illiquidity and interest rates and (ix) our ability to rapidly secure alternate
technology infrastructure vendors if we experience call center or Web site service interruption.
A discussion of factors that could cause results to vary is included in the Company’s filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. All forward-looking statements in this presentation speak only as of the date of this
presentation.  The Company expressly disclaims any obligation or
undertaking to update or revise any forward-looking
statements.
This presentation also contains non-GAAP financial measures. For a reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures to the
most comparable GAAP measure, please refer to the eDiets.com website at www.ediets.com, under the Events and
Presentation section of the Investor Relations page.
