NOTE CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements concerning our financial condition, results of operations and business, including, without limitation, statements pertaining to:

The development of new products and the expansion of the market for our current products;

Implementing aspects of our business plans;

Financing goals and plans;

Our existing cash and whether and how long these funds will be sufficient to fund our operations; and

Our raising of additional capital through future equity financings.

These and other forward-looking statements are primarily in the sections entitled "Item 7 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations" and "Item 1 - Business." Generally, you can identify these statements because they use phrases like "anticipates," "believes," "expects," "future," "intends," "plans," and similar terms. These statements are only predictions. Although we do not make forward-looking statements unless we believe we have a reasonable basis for doing so, we cannot guarantee their accuracy, and actual results may differ materially from those we anticipated due to a number of uncertainties, many of which are unforeseen. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences in results and outcomes include, without limitation, those discussed elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this Report. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements for many reasons, including those stated in this Report.

We believe it is important to communicate our expectations to our investors. There may be events in the future, however, that we are unable to predict accurately or over which we have no control. Cautionary language in this Report provides examples of risks, uncertainties and events that may cause our actual results to differ materially from the expectations we describe in our forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among other things, risks and uncertainties discussed throughout Item 1 – Business and Item 7 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

We are not obligated to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as otherwise required by law. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events discussed in this Report and other statements made from time to time from us or our representatives might not occur. For these statements, we claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

PART I

ITEM 1.

BUSINESS.

1(a)

Business Development

PacificHealth Laboratories (hereinafter referred to as the “Company”, “us”, or “we”) is a leading nutrition company that was incorporated in the State of Delaware in April 1995. We focus on the development, marketing, and selling of patented premium nutrition tools that enable our consumers to enhance their health, improve their performance, and reach their athletic goals. Our principal areas of focus are sports performance through proper hydration, fueling, energy, and recovery. Our products can be marketed without prior Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approval under current regulatory guidelines. Going forward, we expect to become a more commercially-oriented consumer driven company that derives performance from its brands and science-based nutrition technology.

1(b)

Business of the Issuer

We are a pioneer in the development of patented protein-based nutritional products that activate biochemical pathways to enhance muscle endurance and additionally the specific peptides involved in appetite regulation. We employ multiple strategies for the commercialization of our technologies including: 1) launching a brand via highly targeted consumer channels, 2) licensing the technology to a major consumer products company, or 3) a combination of both 1 and 2.

Endurance

Our research into factors influencing exercise performance, muscle endurance, and recovery has led to the development and commercialization of a new generation of sports and recovery drinks. The key to our technology is the specific ratio in which protein is combined with carbohydrates. We have received two patents on this technology and over 18 studies have been published demonstrating that products based on this technology can extend endurance, reduce muscle damage, improve rehydration, and accelerate muscle recovery. Our research in exercise performance has led to the introduction and commercialization of a number of products for the aerobic athlete including:

ENDUROX^® EXCEL^®Natural Workout Supplement – Introduced in March 1997

ENDUROX R4^® Recovery Drink – Introduced in February 1999

ACCELERADE^TM Sports Drink – Introduced in May 2001

ACCEL GEL^® Advanced Sports Gel – Introduced in February 2004

ACCELERADE HYDRO^TM Sports Drink with less calories and sugar – Introduced in June 2008

2ND SURGE^® Ultra Energy Gel – Introduced in March 2011

ACCEL RECOVER^TM Muscle Recovery Bar – Introduced in March 2011

In the first quarter of 2011, we launched two new products: 2ND SURGE and ACCEL RECOVER. 2ND SURGE is an energy gel that is an all-natural product specifically formulated to delay the onset of both muscle and brain fatigue. The product’s proprietary formula contains rapidly acting carbohydrates, specific proteins, caffeine and selected antioxidants that are proven to increase the delivery of critical nutrients to brain and muscle cells, maintain metabolic energy needs, inhibit the release of fatigue signals in the brain, and reduce muscle damage, an important trigger for the release of fatigue signals. ACCEL RECOVER is a bar nutritionally engineered for maximum muscle recovery with a breakthrough formula that incorporates a unique blend of three carbohydrates to rapidly and completely replenish depleted muscle glycogen stores, a proprietary combination of three proteins enriched with glutamine, arginine and leucine, the amino acids that drive the repair and rebuilding of muscle protein and the rapid transport of nutrients to muscles, medium-chain triglycerides that rapidly convert into energy rather than fat and antioxidants to protect muscles from free-radical damage and to regenerate the body’s natural antioxidant pathways.

Weight Regulation

At the present time we have no plans to commercialize any of our weight regulation technology.

1(b)(i) Principal Products and Markets

(a) ENDUROX R⁴ Recovery Drink

We launched ENDUROXR⁴Recovery Drink in February 1999. Clinical trials funded by us during 1998 at the University of North Texas Health Science Center in Fort Worth, Texas and the Human Performance Lab at St. Cloud University in St. Cloud, Minnesota showed that when tested against the nation’s leading sports drink, ENDUROX R⁴delivered equal hydration effectiveness while enhancing performance and extending endurance by 55%, decreasing post-exercise muscle stress by 36%, reducing free radical build-up by 69%, and increasing the replenishment of muscle glycogen following exercise. These results have been published in a peer-reviewed journal. In April 2000, we were issued United States Patent No. 6,051,236 for ENDUROXR⁴. Patent office acceptance of specific claims does not necessarily permit us to make any specific claims to the public regarding this product. Our ability to make those claims is governed by the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”), Federal Trade Commission, and other federal government agency regulations and guidelines.

(b) ACCELERADE Sports Drink

In May 2001, we introduced ACCELERADE Sports Drink. ACCELERADE Sports Drink is the first sports drink that contains protein. Studies sponsored by the Company and done independently by university researchers and published in peer-reviewed journals have demonstrated that, compared to a conventional sports drink such as Gatorade, ACCELERADE improves endurance by 29%, decreases muscle damage by 83%, improves muscle recovery by 46%, and improves rehydration by 15%. To date, there are over 18 published studies on ACCELERADE. In January 2006, we received a specific patent on this formula.

(c) ACCEL GEL Sports Gel

In February 2004, we introduced ACCEL GEL. ACCEL GEL is an energy gel that contains the patented 4:1 ratio found in ENDUROX R⁴ and ACCELERADE. ACCEL GEL is designed to provide athletes in all sports with a quick and rapid source of carbohydrate energy. Studies sponsored by the Company and published in a peer-reviewed journal have shown that ACCEL GEL, compared to the leading carbohydrate gel, improves endurance performance by 13%.

(d)

ENDUROX EXCEL Dietary Supplement

ENDUROX EXCEL is a dietary supplement of which the principal ingredient is the herb ciwujia. Laboratory studies funded by us during 1995 at the University of North Texas Health Science Center in Fort Worth, Texas and the Institute of Nutrition and Food in China, have demonstrated that ENDUROX EXCEL can have a beneficial effect on exercise performance. In December 1996, we were issued United States Patent No. 5,585,101 for our ENDUROX product.

(e) 2ND SURGE Energy Gel

2ND SURGE was introduced in March 2011 and is an all-natural energy gel specifically formulated to delay the onset of both muscle and brain fatigue. 2ND SURGE’s proprietary formula contains rapidly acting carbohydrates, specific proteins, caffeine, and selected antioxidants that are proven to increase the delivery of critical nutrients to brain and muscle cells, maintain metabolic energy needs, inhibit the release of fatigue signals in the brain, and reduce muscle damage, an important trigger for the release of fatigue signals.

(f) ACCEL RECOVER Recovery Bar

ACCEL RECOVER was introduced in March 2011 and is an all-natural bar nutritionally engineered for maximum muscle recovery. ACCEL RECOVER’s formula incorporates a unique blend of three carbohydrates to rapidly and completely replenish depleted muscle glycogen stores; includes a proprietary combination of three proteins enriched with glutamine, arginine and leucine, the amino acids that drive the repair and rebuilding of muscle protein and the rapid transport of nutrients to muscles; contains medium-chain triglycerides, which rapidly convert into energy rather than fat; and has antioxidants to protect muscles from free-radical damage and to regenerate the body’s natural antioxidant pathways.

(g) ACCELERADE HYDRO Lower Calorie Sports Drink

ACCELERADE HYDRO was introduced in June 2008 and is a low-calorie alternative to refueling during workouts. ACCELERADE HYDRO contains 30% fewer calories and 55% less sugar than regular sports drinks while still including the patented 4:1 ratio of four parts carbohydrate to one part protein.

All of our products are distributed in health foods chains (GNC, Vitamin Shoppe, and Vitamin World), sporting goods retailers (REI), cycling stores and catalogs (Performance Bike), running stores and catalogs (Road Runner Sports), and sports specialty stores.

1(b)(ii) Distribution Methods

We have pursued a “multi-channel” distribution strategy in marketing our endurance products. At the present time, these products are being sold in over 9,000 retail outlets including GNC, sports specialty stores, independent health food retailers, independent bike retailers, health clubs, catalogs, and Internet sites. We now sell all of our products in various foreign countries through independent distributors.

To support our marketing efforts, we may use a variety of marketing methods including advertising in trade and consumer sports and health food magazines that are intended to reach our targeted consumer. In addition, we may attend trade shows and exhibitions, sponsor promotional programs/events and in-store promotions, and engage in public relations efforts that have resulted and may continue to result in articles in numerous sports, health, fitness, trade and natural product publications, newspaper coverage, radio, and television spots.

In the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 our expenditures for product advertising and promotion were approximately $565,000 and $213,000, respectively.

1(b)(iii) Status of Publicly Announced New Products

The status of all products that have been the subject of or mentioned in public announcements by us in the past year are discussed above under the caption “1(b)(i) - Principal Products and Markets”.

1(b)(iv) Competition

In the sports performance market we only manufacture and distribute powder versions of ACCELERADE and ENDUROX R4 as well as ACCEL GEL. Our primary marketing focus is the serious endurance athlete (cyclist, runner, triathlete and swimmer), as well as team sports. Our secondary focus is to expand to a broader audience to include outdoor and fitness. There are a number of companies that currently market products that compete with ACCELERADE and ENDUROX R4. The major companies include Hammer Nutrition, Cytosport, PowerBar, EAS, and Clif Bar. Increased competitive activity from such companies could make it more difficult for us to establish market share since such companies have greater financial and other resources available to them and possess far more extensive manufacturing, distribution and marketing capabilities than we do.

We believe that long-term success in the marketplace for any of our products will be dependent on the proprietary nature of our formulas, as well as such factors as distribution and marketing capabilities.

1(b)(v) Suppliers of Raw Materials

We do not have manufacturing facilities and have no present intention to manufacture any products ourselves. We fulfill product needs through relationships with independent manufacturers. We presently do not have long-term contracts with any of these manufacturers but intend to enter into agreements where appropriate. Competitors that do their own manufacturing may have an advantage over us with respect to pricing, availability of product, and in other areas because of their control of the manufacturing process.

Generally, our contract manufacturers obtain raw materials necessary for the manufacture of our products from numerous sources. We generally do not have contracts with suppliers of materials required for the production of our products. All raw materials used in our existing products are available from multiple sources.

There is no assurance that suppliers will provide the raw materials needed by us in the quantities requested or at a price we are willing to pay. Because we do not control the source of these raw materials, we are also subject to delays caused by interruption in production of materials based on conditions outside of our control.

1(b)(vi) Dependence on Major Customers

GNC and Performance Inc. accounted for approximately 15% and 12%, respectively, of net sales in 2011 and 33% and 0%, respectively, of net accounts receivable at December 31, 2011. Deferred revenue for consigned inventory at GNC was $56,170 as of December 31, 2011. The loss of these customers, a significant reduction in purchase volume by these customers, or the financial difficulty of such customers, for any reason, could significantly reduce our revenues. We have no agreement with or commitment from either of these customers with respect to future purchases.

1(b)(vii) Patents and Trademarks

The following describes the patents and trademarks we have obtained related to our sports nutrition products and our weight loss technology. On February 22, 2006, we sold the patents and trademarks related to our ACCELERADE and ENDUROX line of sports nutrition products to Mott’s, subject to an exclusive royalty-free license back to us to continue to market the powder, gel and pill form of these products.

We received a use patent, United States Patent No. 5,585,101, in December 1996 covering the use of ciwujia, the principal active herb in ENDUROX and ENDUROX EXCEL caplets, entitled Method to Improve Performance During Exercise Using the Ciwujia Plant. This patent expires in December 2013.

We received a composition of matter patent, United States Patent No. 6,051,236, in April 2000 entitled Composition for Optimizing Muscle Performance During Exercise (see Item 1(b)(i)(a)). This patent expires in April 2017.

We received a composition of matter patent, United States Patent No. 6,207,638, in March 2001 entitled Nutritional Intervention Composition for Enhancing and Extending Satiety. This patent expires in March 2018.

We received a use patent, United States Patent No. 6,429,190, in August 2002 entitled Method For Extending The Satiety Of Food By Adding A Nutritional Composition Designed To Stimulate Cholecystokinin (CCK). This patent expires in August 2019.

We received a composition of matter patent, United States Patent No. 6,436,899, in August 2002 entitled Nutritional Intervention Composition for Enhancing and Extending Satiety. This patent expires in August 2019.

We received a composition of matter patent, United States Patent No. 6,468,962, in October 2002 entitled Nutritional Intervention Composition for Enhancing and Extending Satiety. This patent expires in October 2019.

We received a composition of matter patent, United States Patent No. 6,558,690, in May 2003 entitled Nutritional Intervention Composition for Improving Efficacy of a Lipase Inhibitor. This patent expires in May 2020.

We received a composition of matter patent, United States Patent No. 6,716,815, in April 2004 entitled Nutritional Intervention Composition for Enhancing and Extending Satiety. This patent expires in April 2021.

We received a composition of matter patent, United States Patent No. 6,838,431, in January 2005 entitled Nutritional Intervention Composition Containing Protease Inhibitor Extending Post Meal Satiety. This patent expires in January 2022.

We received a composition of matter patent, United States Patent No. 6,989,171, in January 2006 entitled Sports Drink Composition For Enhancing Glucose Uptake and Extending Endurance During Physical Exercise. This patent expires in January 2023.

We also have several patents pending on our technology. To the extent these are improvements on our existing sports drink patents, Mott’s will own these patents, but we will have an exclusive license to use them in powder, gel and pill products.

The patent inventor for all of our patents is our former CEO, Dr. Robert Portman. Our policy is to have all patents assigned to us upon filing. Patent Nos. 6,051,236 and 6,989,171 above have been assigned to Mott’s. To the extent we do not have patents on our products, there can be no assurance that another company will not replicate one or more of our products nor is there any assurance that existing or future patents will provide meaningful protection or significant competitive advantages over competing products. For example, our use patent on ciwujia would not prevent the sale of a product containing that herb with a claim or for a use that was not covered by our patent. The expense to enforce any patent against an infringer could be prohibitive.

We also obtained federal trademark registrations for ENDUROX EXCEL, ENDUROX R⁴, ACCELERADE, ACCEL GEL, FORZE GPS among others. We have filed our trademarks in most Western European countries, Canada, Mexico and Japan. Our policy is to pursue registrations for all of the trademarks associated with our key products, and to protect our legal rights concerning the use of our trademarks. We rely on common law trademark rights to protect our unregistered trademarks.

1(b)(viii) and (ix) Governmental Regulation

We have determined that all of our existing and proposed products, as described above, are nutritional or dietary supplements as defined under federal statutes and regulations of the FDA. Neither nutritional supplements nor dietary supplements require FDA or other governmental approval prior to their marketing in the United States. No governmental agency or other third party makes a determination as to whether our products qualify as nutritional supplements, dietary supplements, or neither. We make this determination based on the ingredients contained in the products and the claims made for the products. The processing, formulation, packaging, labeling and advertising of such products, however, are subject to regulation by one or more federal agencies, including the FDA, the Federal Trade Commission, the Consumer Products Safety Commission, the Department of Agriculture and the Environmental Protection Agency. Our activities also are subject to regulation by various agencies of the states and localities in which our products are sold.

We market products that are covered under two types of FDA regulations, Nutritional Supplements and Dietary Supplements. Nutritional Supplements contain food and GRAS (Generally Regarded as Safe) ingredients and do not require FDA approval or notification. Such products must follow labeling guidelines outlined by the FDA.

Dietary Supplements is a classification of products resulting from the enactment of the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 (the "DSHEA") in October 1994. The DSHEA amended and modified the application of certain provisions of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetics Act (the "FFDC Act") as they relate to dietary supplements, and required the FDA to promulgate regulations consistent with the DSHEA.

The DSHEA defines a dietary supplement to include (i) any product intended to supplement the diet that bears or contains a vitamin, mineral, herb or other botanical, an amino acid, a substance to supplement the diet by increasing the total dietary intake, or any concentrate, constituent, extract, or combination of any such ingredient, provided that such product is either intended for ingestion in tablet, capsule, powder, softgel, gelcap, or liquid droplet form, (ii) or, if not intended to be ingested in such form, is not represented for use as a conventional food or as a sole item of a meal or the diet, and (iii) is labeled as a dietary supplement. The practical effect of such an expansive definition is to ensure that the new protections and requirements of the DSHEA will apply to a wide class of products.

Under the DSHEA, companies that manufacture and distribute dietary supplements are allowed to make any of the following four types of statements with regard to nutritional support on labeling without FDA approval: (i) a statement that claims a benefit related to a classical nutrient deficiency disease and discloses the prevalence of such disease in the United States; (ii) a statement that describes the role of a nutrient or dietary ingredient intended to affect structure or function in humans; (iii) a statement that characterizes the documented mechanism by which a nutrient or dietary ingredient acts to maintain or function; or (iv) a statement that "describes general well-being" from consumption of a nutrient or dietary ingredient. In addition to making sure that a statement meets one of these four criteria, a manufacturer of the dietary supplement must have substantiation that such statement is truthful and not misleading, must not claim to diagnose, mitigate, treat, cure, or prevent a specific disease or class of diseases, and must contain the following disclaimer, prominently displayed in boldface type: "This statement has not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease."

In 2000, the FDA issued new guidelines concerning statements made for dietary supplements. These regulations have important implications for the marketing of weight loss products. Previously, the regulations made it clear that a product that made a claim for obesity must be treated as a drug. Under the regulations issued in 2000, the FDA makes a distinction between obesity and overweight. Overweight is no longer considered a disease but rather a natural life process. Overweight is considered a condition that affects the structure and function of the body. As now defined, dietary supplements can make a claim for ordinary weight loss rather than as a treatment for obesity. Furthermore, these regulations also permit the use of appetite suppressant as a structure/function claim under DSHEA. The issuance of these regulations will give us greater latitude in the types of claims that we can make for weight loss products as long as we can substantiate such claims by the necessary studies.

1(b)(x) Expenditures for Research and Development

Our research and development (“R & D”) expenditures in the past two fiscal years, exclusive of market research and marketing related expenditures, were approximately as follows: 2011 - $47,000; 2010 - $4,000. R & D expenses are expected to remain consistent with current levels in 2012 as we continue to go back to being science-driven and launch new products.

1(b)(xi) Compliance with Environmental Laws

Except as described above under Item 1(b)(viii) and (ix), we are not aware of any administrative or other costs that we may incur which are directly related to compliance with environmental laws, and we have not experienced any other significant effect from the impact of environmental laws.

1(b)(xii) Employees

At the present time, we have eight (8) full time employees and one (1) part time employee. Of these, two employees are executive, four are in sales and marketing, and two are in accounting, operations and administration. We may employ a number of consultants who devote limited portions of their time to our business. None of our employees are represented by a union and we believe that our employee relations are good.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our financial statements, including the notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this Report.

7(a)

Introduction

We were incorporated in April 1995 to discover, develop and commercialize nutritional products that are patentable and substantiated by well-controlled clinical trials conducted at leading university research centers. Our current principal area of focus is sports performance. Prior to 2008, other areas of focus included weight management and Type 2 diabetes. Such endeavors have been discontinued. We introduced our first product, ENDUROX, in March 1996. We extended our exercise performance products with the introduction of ENDUROX R4 Recovery Drink in February 1999, ACCELERADE Sports Drink in May 2001, and ACCEL GEL in February 2004. These products are based on our patented technology that involves the combination of carbohydrate and protein in a specific ratio. A number of studies both funded by our Company and also conducted independently, demonstrate that this technology can extend endurance, decrease post-exercise muscle damage, speed recovery and improve rehydration.

In April 2000, we introduced our first product for weight loss that was based upon a novel mode of action – the stimulation of one of the body’s principal satiety peptides, cholecystokinin (CCK). This technology was launched under the brand name SATIETROL. In June 2001, we licensed this product to GlaxoSmithKline and discontinued promotion of our brand. In September 2002, the license was returned to us and we initiated a program to improve both the efficacy and form versatility of the technology. We introduced a new ready-to-drink beverage based on this enhanced technology under the brand name SATIATRIM exclusively on-line in January 2007. We officially launched SATIATRIM in June 2007. We did not generate significant sales from this product line, and we discontinued this product in September 2008. We launched FORZE GPS based on the same technology in early 2009, but also did not generate significant sales from this product line. We decided not to invest marketing support for this product in 2010.

Results of Operations - Years Ended December 31, 2011 and 2010

Revenues decreased 4% for the year ended December 31, 2011 to $6,914,818 from $7,200,960 for the year ended December 31, 2010. Total endurance sales for the year ended December 31, 2011 were only down 1% compared to the year ended December 31, 2010. This decrease in sales is primarily due to a reduction in inventory purchases of approximately $470,000 by our three largest customers for the year ended December 31, 2011 as compared to the same period on 2010. FORZE, which we no longer market, had a decrease in sales of approximately $223,000 for the year ended December 31, 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010. We also continue to see momentum from our new products, 2ND SURGE and ACCEL RECOVER, as well as with ENDUROX EXCEL Workout supplement, which we re-launched in the third quarter of 2010.

For the year ended December 31, 2011, gross profit margin on product sales was 43.2% compared to 43.9% for the year ended December 31, 2010. The year ended December 31, 2010 includes the effects of sales of $177,692 with no associated cost of goods sold (other than freight out) as this inventory was previously reserved in the fourth quarter of 2009. We have also been challenged this year with increased cost of goods as a result of higher protein and packaging costs. These challenges are expected to continue in 2012.

Sales and marketing (“S & M”) expenses increased $92,185, or approximately 8%, to $1,258,656 for the year ended December 31, 2011 from $1,166,471 for the year ended December 31, 2010. The increase is primarily due to increased advertising expenses as part of our 2011 marketing plan, offset by a decrease in commission expense as we discontinued our commissioned sales representation organization in the third quarter of 2010.

General and administrative (“G & A”) expenses decreased $597,807, or approximately 22%, to $2,155,705 for the year ended December 31, 2011 from $2,753,512 for the year ended December 31, 2010. Included in G & A in the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 is approximately $15,000 and $336,000, respectively, paid to the former CEO in the form of a non-compete clause pursuant to his Separation Agreement. These payments ended under the terms of the Separation Agreement on January 27, 2011. The decrease in G & A for the year ended December 31, 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010 is also due to less salaries and related personnel expenses due to decreases in the number of employees, lower legal and accounting expenses due to negotiated fee arrangements, lower directors fees due to the 2011 Board Compensation Policy whereby directors will not receive any compensation for 2011, and lower depreciation expense due to less purchases of equipment over the last two years.

Research and development (“R & D”) expenses were $47,380 in the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to $4,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010. We expect R & D expenses to remain at the 2011 levels as we invest in the latest science to produce products that address current athlete needs.

Interest expense was $14,695 for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to $6,122 for the year ended December 31, 2010. The increase in interest expense is due to financing from one of our major vendors on our inventory purchases.

As a result of the foregoing, we recorded a net loss of $486,311, or ($0.02) per share basic and diluted, for the year ended December 31, 2011, compared to a net loss of $761,422, or ($0.05) per share basic and diluted, for the year ended December 31, 2010.

7(c)

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At December 31, 2011, our current assets exceeded our current liabilities by approximately $1,193,000 with a ratio of current assets to current liabilities of approximately 2.8 to 1. At December 31, 2011, cash on hand was $745,904, an increase of $611,739 from December 31, 2010, primarily as the result of two private placements of our common stock for $1,095,000 as well as from sales of other short-term investments of $75,000, a decrease in accounts receivable (net of reserves) of $47,346, a decrease in inventory of $24,914 (net of reserves), an increase in prepaid expenses of $26,669, repayments of a line of credit of $37,500, issuances of notes payable of $65,427, repayments of notes payable of $66,418, a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $166,472, and a decrease in deferred revenue of $4,666 from December 31, 2010. Accounts receivable decreased due to lower sales in the 4th quarter of 2011 versus the same period in 2010. Inventories decreased due to better inventory management. Accounts payable and accrued expenses decreased due to lower inventory levels as well as using the proceeds from the private placements to pay down payables.

Net cash used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $503,958 compared to net cash used in operating activities for the same period in 2010 of $214,263. The greater net cash used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2011 is as compared to the same period in 2010 is due to a lower net loss in 2011 offset by the receipt of the net proceeds from a tax loss sale in 2010 as well as much smaller decreases in accounts receivable and inventories in 2011 offset by smaller decreases in accounts payable and accrued expenses and deferred revenues in 2011. Accounts receivable decreased less in 2011 as compared to 2010 primarily due to the implementation of customers taking advantage of early payment discounts starting in early 2010. Inventories decreased less in 2011 compared to 2010 due to better inventory management. Accounts payable and accrued expenses decreased less in 2011 due to better payment terms negotiated with our main inventory suppliers. Historically, we have funded inventory purchases through trade credit and we expect that to continue.

At December 31, 2011, we have $75,000 invested in auction rate securities that are presented as short-term investments on the balance sheet. During 2011, we were able to redeem $75,000 of these investments with no gain or loss. Redemptions of these securities are currently difficult to complete due to difficult credit market conditions. We have obtained a revolving line of credit with a financial institution with a maturity of May 2012 that will accept these securities as collateral. The maximum amount that we may borrow is limited to 50% of the value of these auction rate securities. The current balance on this line of credit is $37,500.

In 2011, capital expenditures amounted to $15,812 consisting mostly of office equipment. We have no material commitments for capital expenditures.

7(d)

Impact of Inflation

We expect to be able to pass inflationary increases for raw materials and other costs on to our customers through price increases, as required, and do not expect inflation to be a significant factor in our business. However, this expectation is based more on observations of our competitors' historic operations than our own experience.

7(e)

Seasonality

Sports nutrition products tend to be seasonal, especially in the colder climates. Lower sales are typically realized during the first and fourth quarters and higher sales are typically realized during the second and third quarters. We also plan our advertising and promotional campaigns for all of our products around these seasonal demands. We believe that the impact of new product introductions and marketing promotions associated with the introduction of new products will have a far greater impact on our operations than industry and product seasonality.

7(f)

Impact of Recently Issued Financial Accounting Standards

There were no recently issued but not yet effective accounting pronouncements that would have a material impact on our financial statements.

7(g)

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

There are no off-balance sheet arrangements between us and any other entity that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources that is material to investors.

7(h)

Critical Accounting Policies

Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Certain accounting policies have a significant impact on amounts reported in financial statements. A summary of those significant accounting policies can be found in Note A to our financial statements. The more significant accounting policies involving estimates are described below.

In preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses for the reporting period covered thereby. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Among such estimates made by management in the preparation of our financial statements are the determinations of the allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation, revenue recognition as it relates to customer returns, and valuation allowance for deferred tax assets. The allowance for doubtful accounts is determined by assessing the realizability of accounts receivable by taking into consideration the value of past due accounts and collectability based on credit worthiness of such customers. Historically, we have not had to reserve significant amounts for doubtful accounts. We assess the realizability of inventories by reviewing all inventory to determine the value of items that are slow moving, any lack of marketability, and by analysis of the shelf life of products. Estimates are made for sales returns based on historical experience with actual returns. Certain of our products are subject to minimum sales thresholds by a significant retail customer. These sales thresholds are based on quantities sold-through at the retail level. We record revenue with respect to these products at the time the goods are sold-through to the end user as reported to us by the customer. We analyze retail sell-through data provided by the customer and our expectations of future customer sell-through trends. Based upon this information, we determine if any reserves for returns are necessary. We analyze the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets to determine any tax benefits that are not expected to be realized. Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a)

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Prior to the filing of this Report on Form 10-K, an evaluation was performed under the supervision of and with the participation of our management, including our President and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Based on the evaluation, the President and CFO have concluded that, as of December 31, 2011, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to our management, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. It should be noted that the design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.

(b)

Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

During the quarter ended December 31, 2011, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Section 240.13a-15(f) or 240.15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

(i)

pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and dispositions of our assets;

(ii)

provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and

(iii)

provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on management’s assessment and those criteria, management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2011.

Employment Agreements

On April 12, 2011, the Company entered into an employment agreement with its President and Chief Executive Officer, Frederick Duffner. Prior to this agreement, Mr. Duffner, who is also a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, had been serving in such capacities without an employment agreement. The employment agreement provides for a term expiring December 31, 2012, subject to automatic annual renewals unless either party elects not to renew by 30-day prior notice to the other. Mr. Duffner may terminate his employment at any time with 30 days prior written notice.

The Company will pay Mr. Duffner a base salary of $250,000 per year, subject to potential increases, and a potential bonus that cannot exceed his base salary. Mr. Duffner’s eligibility for the bonus, and the amount of the bonus, will be based upon the Company and/or Mr. Duffner achieving certain milestones to be established by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors in consultation with Mr. Duffner.

If the Company terminates Mr. Duffner’s employment other than for cause, or he terminates for good reason, as both terms are defined in the agreement, the Company will pay him nine (9) months of his base salary as severance. Upon termination of Mr. Duffner’s employment, the Company may impose a restrictive covenant on him for up to twelve (12) months, provided that the Company must continue his severance payments to continue the covenant beyond nine (9) months.

We entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Ash with an initial term beginning January 3, 2008 and ending December 31, 2009. Under the terms of the employment agreement, the agreement automatically extended for a one-year period.

We entered into a Separation and Release Agreement (the “Separation Agreement”) with Mr. Ash on January 27, 2010. Under the terms of the Separation Agreement, Mr. Ash agreed to provide consulting services for a period of 90 days following the date of the Separation Agreement, and Mr. Ash was entitled to the sum of $5,673.08 per week for such consulting services. During the one-year period commencing on January 11, 2010, Mr. Ash was entitled to the sum of $295,000, less the sum of consulting fees paid during such period and less any income, wages and/or salary received by Mr. Ash during such period in respect of full-time or substantially full-time employment. We also agreed to pay Mr. Ash up to $50,000 for relocation costs under certain circumstances, the cost of life insurance premiums during the period in which he provides consulting services and the cost of health insurance coverage for a period of six months. The Separation Agreement also provided that vesting of all options previously granted to Mr. Ash ceased as of January 11, 2010. All unvested options are terminated and, with respect to options that had vested as of that date, such options are only exercisable during the 90-day period following the expiration of Mr. Ash’s consulting services.

We do not have written or unwritten employment agreements with Mr. Kuchen. His annual base salary is determined by our Compensation Committee and adjusted periodically.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and

Stockholders of PacificHealth Laboratories, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of PacificHealth Laboratories, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for the years then ended. The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits include consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also 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, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of PacificHealth Laboratories, Inc. as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2011 and 2010

Note A - The Company and Significant Accounting Policies

[1]

The Company:

The Company was incorporated in April 1995 to discover, develop, and commercialize nutritional products. The Company focuses on the development, marketing, and selling of patented premium nutrition tools that enable consumers to enhance their health and improve their performance. The Company’s principal areas of focus are sports performance and recovery, including optimal weight management. The Company utilizes third-party contractors to manufacture all products.

[2]

Cash and cash equivalents:

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.

[3]

Accounts receivable:

Accounts receivable consist of trade receivables recorded at original invoice amount, less an estimated allowance for uncollectible accounts. Trade credit is generally extended on a short-term basis; thus trade receivables do not bear interest. Trade receivables are periodically evaluated for collectibility by considering a number of factors including the length of time an invoice is past due, the customers' credit worthiness and historical bad debt experience. Changes in the estimated collectibility of trade receivables are recorded in the results of operations for the period in which the estimate is revised. Trade receivables that are deemed uncollectible are offset against the allowance for uncollectible accounts. The Company generally does not require collateral for trade receivables.

[4]

Inventories:

Inventories are recorded at the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method. The Company determines its reserve for obsolete inventory by considering a number of factors, including product shelf life, marketability, and obsolescence. The Company determines the need to write down inventories by analyzing product expiration, market conditions, and salability of its products.

[5]

Property and equipment:

Property and equipment are stated at cost and is depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives ranging from 2 to 5 years.

[6]

Loss per share:

Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. The dilutive effect of the outstanding stock warrants and options is computed using the treasury stock method. For the year ended December 31, 2011, diluted loss per share did not include the effect of 1,753,500 options outstanding and 2,890,500 warrants outstanding, respectively, as their effect would be anti-dilutive. For the year ended December 31, 2010, diluted loss per share did not include the effect of 2,368,500 options outstanding and 322,500 warrants outstanding, respectively, as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

[7]

Revenue recognition:

Revenue is recognized upon the sale of products as they are sold to customers when title to the goods has passed, the price to the customer is fixed and determinable, and collection from the customer is reasonably assured. All sales revenue is recorded on a net basis, net of incentives paid and discounts offered to customers, and exclude sales tax collected from being reported as sales revenue and sales tax remitted from being reported as a cost.

F-6

PACIFICHEALTH LABORATORIES, INC.

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2011 and 2010

The Company has a purchasing agreement with a significant customer for certain products that are sold on a “pay on scan” basis. The Company recognizes revenue for these products when its major customer sells through these products to the consumer. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, shipments to this customer amounting to $56,170 and $60,836, respectively, have been reflected as deferred revenue in the Company’s balance sheet.

[8]

Research and development:

Costs of research and development activities are expensed as incurred.

[9]

Advertising costs:

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. During 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded advertising expense of $564,689 and $213,132, respectively.

[10]

Stock-based compensation:

The Company accounts for equity instrument issuances (including common stock, options, and warrants) in accordance with ASC Topic 718-10-05. Such equity issuances encompass transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services including such transactions in which an entity obtains employee and/or director services in share-based payment transactions and issues stock options to employees. The Company recorded a charge of $66,316 in the year ended December 31, 2011, representing the effect on loss from operations, loss before income taxes, and net loss. The Company recorded a charge of $124,934 in the year ended December 31, 2010, representing the effect on loss from operations, loss before income taxes, and net loss.

The fair value of the options and warrants granted during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 are determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions:

	Year Ended
	December 31,
	2011		2010
Risk-free interest rate		0.28% - 0.91%		1.35% -2.34%
Expected term (in years)		2.0 - 5.0		5.0
Expected volatility		83% - 92%		100% - 105%
Expected dividend yield		0%		0%

The weighted average fair values of options granted during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 were $0.20 and $0.15, respectively. Also see Note I.

[11]

Segment information:

The Company operates in one business segment: the design, development and marketing of dietary and nutritional supplements that enhance health and well-being. Segment disclosures relate to sales data for geographic reasons only.

[12]

Income taxes:

The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined on the basis of the differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their respective financial reporting amounts ("temporary differences") at enacted tax rates in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. Any resulting deferred tax asset is reduced, if necessary, by a valuation allowance for any tax benefits that are not expected to be realized.

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2011 and 2010

ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes”, clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. It prescribes a threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC Topic 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition.

The Company recorded a liability related to uncertain tax positions in the amount of approximately $8,768 and $22,853 at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, relating to certain states in which the Company is required to file state tax returns as they have effectively established nexus in these states. These amounts have been recorded as a component of accounts payable and accrued expenses on the balance sheet and part of income taxes on the statement of operations. The reconciliation of these uncertain tax positions is as follows:

Balance, January 1, 2010	$	40,000
Additions based on tax positions related to 2010		-
Payments in settlement of prior years		(17,147	)
Balance, December 31, 2010		22,853
Additions based on tax positions related to 2011		-
Payments in settlement of prior years		(14,085	)
Balance, December 31, 2011	$	8,768

The Company’s 2008, 2009 and 2010 Federal and state income tax returns remain open for examination.

[13]

Impairment of long-lived assets:

Long-lived assets, to be held and used, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable using expected future undiscounted cash flows. When required, impairment losses on assets to be held and used are recognized based on the excess of the assets' carrying amount over their fair values as determined by selling prices for similar assets or application of other appropriate valuation techniques. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of their carrying amounts or fair values less disposal costs.

[14]

Recent accounting pronouncements:

There were no recently issued but not yet effective accounting pronouncements that would have a material impact on the financial statements.

[15]

Use of estimates:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

[16] Shipping and handling fees and costs:

Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of sales.

Note B – Other Short-Term Investments

Excess cash is invested in auction rate securities with long-term maturities, the interest rates of which are reset periodically (typically between 7 and 35 days) through a competitive bidding process often referred to as a "Dutch auction". Despite the underlying long-term maturity of these securities, such securities were typically priced and accounted for as cash equivalents because of the Dutch auction process which has historically provided a liquid market for auction rate securities, as this mechanism generally allows existing investors to rollover their holdings and continue to own their respective securities at the then existing market interest rate or to liquidate their holdings by selling their securities at par value. In 2008, however, primarily due to liquidity issues experienced in global credit and capital markets, many auctions for auction rate securities have failed and the sellers of such securities have been unable to liquidate their securities. A seller must then wait until the next successful auction to attempt to sell its auction rate securities, unless there is a secondary market for the particular securities. As a result of a failed auction, however, the auction rate securities will generally pay interest to the holder at a maximum or default rate defined by the securities' governing documents.

The Company measures fair value utilizing a hierarchy that prioritizes into three levels the components of valuation techniques that are used to measure fair value. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted market prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1); lower priority to inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly (Level 2); and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3).

The Company has measured these investments as Level 2 inputs.

Accordingly, at December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company has classified such investments as other short-term investments in the accompanying balance sheets. During 2011, the Company redeemed $75,000 of these investments with no gain or loss. Such amounts have been pledged as collateral to the line pursuant to the line of credit agreement (See Note M).

Note C - Inventories

Note K - Concentrations of Credit Risks, Major Customers, and Major Vendors

[1]

Concentrations of credit risk:

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable.

The Company has concentrated its credit risk for cash by maintaining substantially all of its depository accounts in two financial institutions. Amounts at one of the institutions are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000 and amounts at the other institution are insured by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation up to $500,000. These financial institutions have a strong credit rating, and management believes that credit risk relating to these deposits is minimal.

The Company does not require collateral on its trade accounts receivable. Historically, the Company has not suffered significant losses with respect to trade accounts receivable.

[2]

Fair value of financial instruments:

Cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and notes payable approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.

[3]

Major customers and vendors:

Significant customer sales and vendor inventory purchase concentrations are summarized as follows:

	Net Sales
	Year Ended						A/R Balance			A/R Balance
	12/31/11			12/31/10			12/31/11			12/31/10
