In the opinion of the Company’s management, these interim financial statements include all adjustments that are considered necessary for a fair presentation of its financial position as of December 31, 2017, and the results of operations for the three and six months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the cash flows for the six months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year or for any future period. Certain amounts in the prior year financial statements have been reclassified for comparative purposes in order to conform with current year presentation.

The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes included herein are presented as required by Form 10-Q, and do not contain certain information included in the Company’s audited financial statements and notes for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. For further information, refer to the financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the year ended June 30, 2017, and included in the annual report on Form 10-K on file with the SEC.

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The Company prepares the condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). In preparing these statements, the Company is required to use estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates and assumptions. On an ongoing basis, the Company reviews its estimates, including those related to inventory valuation and obsolescence, sales returns, income taxes and tax valuation reserves, share-based compensation, and loss contingencies.

Foreign Currency Translation

A portion of the Company’s business operations occurs outside the United States. The local currency of each of the Company’s subsidiaries is generally its functional currency. All assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates existing at the balance sheet dates, revenue and expenses are translated at weighted-average exchange rates and stockholders’ equity is recorded at historical exchange rates. The resulting foreign currency translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of stockholders’ equity in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and as a component of comprehensive income. Transaction gains and losses are included in other expense, net in the condensed consolidated

statements of operations and comprehensive income. For the three months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, net foreign currency losses of $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively, are recorded in other expense, net. For the six months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, net foreign currency losses of $8,000 and $0.4 million, respectively, are recorded in other expense, net.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Company's subsidiaries enter into transactions with each other 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 derivatives. The Company does not use such derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

To hedge risks associated with the foreign-currency-denominated intercompany transactions, the Company entered into forward foreign exchange contracts which were settled in December 2017 and were not designated for hedge accounting. For the three months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, a realized loss of $0.1 million and a realized gain of $0.2 million, respectively, related to forward contracts, are recorded in other expense, net. For the six months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, a realized loss of $0.1 million and a realized gain of $0.1 million, respectively, related to forward contracts, are recorded in other expense, net. The Company did not hold any derivative instruments at December 31, 2017.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers only its monetary liquid assets with original maturities of three months or less as cash and cash equivalents.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Accounting guidance for financial instruments requires disclosure of significant concentrations of credit risk regardless of the degree of such risk. Financial instruments with significant credit risk include cash and investments. At December 31, 2017, the Company had $9.5 million in cash accounts at one financial institution and $3.3 million in accounts at other financial institutions. As of December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017, and during the periods then ended, the Company’s cash balances exceeded federally insured limits.

Accounts Receivable

The Company’s accounts receivable as of December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017 consist primarily of credit card receivables. Based on the Company’s verification process for customer credit cards and historical information available, management has determined that an allowance for doubtful accounts on credit card sales related to its customer sales as of December 31, 2017 is not necessary. No bad debt expense has been recorded for the three and six months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.

Inventory

As of December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017, inventory consisted of (in thousands):



	December 31, 2017		June 30, 2017
Finished goods	$	9,136	$	7,817
Raw materials	7,683		8,758
Total inventory	$	16,819	$	16,575

Inventories are carried and depicted above at the lower of cost or market, using the first-in, first-out method, which includes a reduction in inventory values of $1.4 million and $0.9 million at December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017, respectively, related to obsolete and slow-moving inventory.

Revenue Recognition

The Company ships the majority of its product directly to the consumer and receives substantially all payment for these sales in the form of credit card receipts. Revenue from direct product sales to customers is recognized upon shipment, which is when passage of title and risk of loss occurs. Estimated returns are recorded when product is shipped. Subject to some exceptions based on local regulations, the Company’s return policy is to provide a full refund for product returned within 30 days if the returned product is unopened or defective. After 30 days, the Company generally does not issue refunds to direct sales customers for returned product. The Company allows terminating distributors to return up to 30% of unopened, unexpired product that they have purchased within the prior twelve months for a full refund, less a 10% restocking fee. The Company establishes the returns reserve based on historical experience. The returns reserve is evaluated on a quarterly basis. As of

December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017, the Company’s reserve balance for returns and allowances was $0.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively.

Shipping and Handling

Shipping and handling costs associated with inbound freight and freight out to customers, including independent distributors, are included in cost of sales. Shipping and handling fees charged to customers are included in sales.

Research and Development Costs

The Company expenses all costs related to research and development activities, as incurred. Research and development expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 were $0.3 million and $0.3 million, respectively. Research and development expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 were $0.5 million and $0.6 million, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company recognizes stock-based compensation by measuring the cost of services to be rendered based on the grant date fair value of the equity award. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation, net of any estimated forfeitures, over the period an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, generally referred to as the requisite service period. For awards with market-based performance conditions, the cost of the awards is recognized as the requisite service is rendered by employees, regardless of when, if ever, the market-based performance conditions are satisfied.

The Black-Scholes option pricing model is used to estimate the fair value of stock options. The determination of the fair value of stock options is affected by the Company's stock price and a number of assumptions, including expected volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends. The Company uses historical volatility as the expected volatility assumption required in the Black-Scholes model. The Company utilizes a simplified method for estimating the expected life of the options. The Company uses this method because it believes that it provides a better estimate than the Company’s historical data as post vesting exercises have been limited. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on observed interest rates appropriate for the expected terms of the stock options.

The fair value of restricted stock grants is based on the closing market price of the Company's stock on the date of grant less the Company's expected dividend yield. The fair value of performance restricted stock units that include market-based performance conditions is based on the closing market price of the Company's stock on the date of grant less the Company's expected dividend yield, with further adjustments made to reflect the market conditions that must be satisfied in order for the units to vest by using a Monte-Carlo simulation model. Key assumptions for the Monte-Carlo simulation model include the risk-free rate, expected volatility, expected dividends and the correlation coefficient. The fair value of cash-settled performance-based awards, accounted for as liabilities, is remeasured at the end of each reporting period and is based on the closing market price of the Company’s stock on the last day of the reporting period. The Company recognizes compensation costs for awards with performance conditions when it concludes it is probable that the performance conditions will be achieved. The Company reassesses the probability of vesting at each balance sheet date and adjusts compensation costs accordingly.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using statutory tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled, updated for new corporate tax rates. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities from a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the effective date of the change. The Company recognizes tax liabilities or benefits from an uncertain position only if it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the issue. The amount recognized would be the largest liability or benefit that the Company believes has greater than a 50% likelihood of being realized upon settlement.

On December 22, 2017, the President of the United States of America signed tax reform legislation (the “2017 Act”), which includes a broad range of tax reform affecting businesses, including corporate tax rates, business deductions, and international tax regulations. Among these changes, the 2017 Act reduces the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% effective December 31, 2017. This change in tax rate will be recognized as a discrete item for the Company during the second quarter of fiscal year 2018. Current taxes for fiscal 2018 will be accounted for at a blended rate of 28%, and the Company will revalue its deferred tax assets and liabilities to the reduced rates based on the period in which those assets and liabilities are expected to reverse. The Company has incorporated the changes resulting from the 2017 Act in its tax related accounts in the period ended December 31, 2017.

For the six months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company recognized income tax expense of $2.2 million and $0.6 million, respectively, which is reflective of the Company’s current estimated federal, state and foreign effective tax rate. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon future earnings in specific tax jurisdictions, the timing and amount of which are uncertain. As a result of the 2017 Act, the effective tax rate increased from 35.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2017 to 65.8% for the six months ended December 31, 2017. The Company's deferred tax asset balances were reduced by approximately $1.2 million as a result of remeasuring them to the new reduced corporate tax rate. This remeasurement caused an increase of approximately 35.2% to the effective tax rate. The increase was partially offset due to the lower blended corporate tax rate for fiscal 2018.

Income Per Share

Basic income per common share is computed by dividing the net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, less unvested restricted stock awards. Diluted income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average common shares and potentially dilutive common share equivalents using the treasury stock method.

For the three months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, the effects of approximately 0.1 million and 0.1 million common shares, respectively, issuable upon exercise of options and non-vested shares of restricted stock are not included in computations as their effect was anti-dilutive. For the six months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, the effects of approximately 0.3 million and 43,000 common shares, respectively, issuable upon exercise of options and non-vested shares of restricted stock are not included in computations as their effect was anti-dilutive.

The following is a reconciliation of net income per share and the weighted-average common shares outstanding for purposes of computing basic and diluted net income per share (in thousands except per share amounts):

Effect of New Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), and has subsequently issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, ASU 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net), ASU 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, ASU 2016-11, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605) and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), ASU 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, and ASU 2016-20, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (collectively, Topic 606).

Topic 606 outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the new guidance is for companies to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to fulfill a contract. This guidance is effective for the Company beginning on July 1, 2018 with the option to adopt using either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach. The Company expects to adopt Topic 606 using the modified retrospective approach, under which the cumulative effect of initially applying Topic 606 is recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the first quarter of fiscal 2019.

The Company has evaluated each of its revenue streams and has identified similar performance obligations under Topic 606 as compared to current revenue recognition guidance. As a result, the Company expects that the timing of the recognition of revenue will remain materially unchanged compared to the current guidance.

There are also considerations related to internal control over financial reporting associated with implementing Topic 606. The Company has substantially completed the evaluation of its control framework for revenue recognition and identified no material changes needed in response to the new guidance. The Company has also evaluated the expanded disclosure requirements under Topic 606 and has substantially completed the design and implementation of the appropriate controls over gathering and reporting the information required under Topic 606.

In February 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 841). For lessees, this ASU requires that for all leases not considered to be short term, a company recognize both a right-of-use asset and lease liability on its balance sheet, representing the obligation to make payments and the right to use or control the use of a specified asset for the lease term. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the ASU on the Company’s outstanding leases and expects that adoption will have an impact on its consolidated balance sheets related to recording right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities.

In May 2017, FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting. The ASU provides guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. An entity should account for the effects of a modification unless all the following are met: (1) The fair value of the modified award is the same as the fair value of the original award immediately before the original award is modified, (2) The vesting conditions of the modified award are the same as the vesting conditions of the original award immediately before the original award is modified, (3) The classification of the modified award as an equity instrument or a liability instrument is the same as the classification of the original award immediately before the original award is modified. The current disclosure requirements in Topic 718 apply regardless of whether an entity is required to apply modification accounting under this ASU. This ASU is effective for all annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. This ASU should be applied prospectively to an

award modified on or after the adoption date. The Company will apply this ASU to any award modifications made on or after the adoption date.

Note 3 — Long-Term Debt

On March 30, 2016, the Company entered into a loan agreement (the “March 2016 Loan Agreement”) to refinance its outstanding debt. In connection with the March 2016 Loan Agreement and on the same date, the Company entered into a security agreement (the “Security Agreement”). The March 2016 Loan Agreement provides for a term loan in an aggregate principal amount of $10.0 million (the “March 2016 Term Loan") and a revolving loan facility in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $2.0 million (the “March 2016 Revolving Loan,” and collectively with the March 2016 Term Loan, the March 2016 Loan Agreement and the Security Agreement, the “March 2016 Credit Facility”).

The principal amount of the March 2016 Term Loan is payable in consecutive quarterly installments in the amount of $0.5 million plus accrued interest beginning with the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2016 and maturing on March 30, 2019 (the “Maturity Date”). The March 2016 Term Loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 4.93%. If the Company borrows under the March 2016 Revolving Loan, interest will be payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each fiscal quarter at a variable rate equal to the 30 day LIBOR Rate plus 3.50%.

The Company’s obligations under the March 2016 Credit Facility are secured by a security interest in substantially all of the Company’s assets. Loans outstanding under the March 2016 Credit Facility may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time without premium or penalty. In addition, if, at any time, the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the March 2016 Revolving Loan exceeds $2.0 million, the Company must prepay an amount equal to such excess. Any principal amount of the March 2016 Term Loan which is prepaid or repaid may not be re-borrowed.

The March 2016 Credit Facility contains customary covenants, including affirmative and negative covenants that, among other things, restrict the Company’s ability to create certain types of liens, incur additional indebtedness, declare or pay dividends on or redeem capital stock, make other payments to holders of equity interests in the Company, make certain investments, purchase or otherwise acquire all or substantially all the assets or equity interests of other companies, sell assets or enter into consolidations, mergers or transfers of all or any substantial part of the Company’s assets. The March 2016 Credit Facility also contains various financial covenants that require the Company to maintain a certain consolidated minimum tangible net worth, minimum working capital amounts, and debt to EBITDA and fixed charge coverage ratios. Additionally, the March 2016 Credit Facility contains cross-default provisions, whereby a default under the terms of certain indebtedness or an uncured default of a payment or other material obligation of the Company under a material contract of the Company will cause a default on the remaining indebtedness under the March 2016 Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2017, the Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants under the March 2016 Credit Facility.

The Company’s book value for the March 2016 Credit Facility approximates the fair value. Aggregate future principal payments required in accordance with the terms of the March 2016 Credit Facility are as follows (in thousands):



Fiscal Year Ending June 30,	Amount
2018 (remaining six months ending June 30, 2018)	$	1,000
2019	5,500
	$	6,500

Note 4 — Stockholders’ Equity

During the three and six months ended December 31, 2017, the Company issued 30,000 shares of restricted stock and no shares of common stock upon the exercise of warrants and options. During the three and six months ended December 31, 2017, 2,000 and 6,000 shares, respectively, of restricted stock were canceled or surrendered as payment of tax withholding upon vesting.

On November 27, 2017, the Company announced a share repurchase program authorizing it to repurchase up to $5 million in shares of the Company's common stock. The repurchase program permits the Company to purchase shares through a variety of methods, including in the open market, through privately negotiated transactions or other means as determined by the Company's management. As part of the repurchase program, the Company may enter into a pre-arranged stock repurchase plan which will operate in accordance with guidelines specified under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act. Accordingly, transactions, if any, would be completed in accordance with the terms of the stock repurchase plan, including specified price, volume and timing conditions. The authorization may be suspended or discontinued at any time and expires on November 27, 2020. During the six months ended December 31, 2017, the Company purchased 45,107 shares of its common stock on the

open market at an aggregate purchase price of $0.2 million under this repurchase program. At December 31, 2017, there is $4.8 million remaining under this repurchase program.

The Company’s Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of preferred shares. However, as of December 31, 2017, none have been issued and no rights or preferences have been assigned to the preferred shares by the Company’s board of directors.

Note 5 — Stock-Based Compensation

Long-Term Incentive Plans

Equity-Settled Plans

The Company adopted and the shareholders approved the 2007 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2007 Plan”), effective November 21, 2006, to provide incentives to eligible employees, directors and consultants. A maximum of 1.4 million shares of the Company's common stock can be issued under the 2007 Plan in connection with the grant of awards. Awards to purchase common stock have been granted pursuant to the 2007 Plan and are outstanding to various employees, officers, directors, Scientific Advisory Board members and independent distributors at prices between $1.47 and $10.50 per share, with initial vesting periods of one to three years. Awards expire in accordance with the terms of each award and the shares subject to the award are added back to the 2007 Plan upon expiration of the award. The contractual term of stock options granted is generally ten years. Effective November 21, 2016, no new awards can be granted under the 2007 Plan.

The Company adopted and the shareholders approved the 2010 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2010 Plan”), effective September 27, 2010, as amended on August 21, 2014, to provide incentives to certain employees, directors and consultants. A maximum of 1.1 million shares of the Company's common stock can be issued under the 2010 Plan in connection with the grant of awards. Awards to purchase common stock have been granted pursuant to the 2010 Plan and are outstanding to various employees, officers and directors. Outstanding stock options awarded under the 2010 Plan have exercise prices between $5.60 and $20.09 per share, and vest over one to four year vesting periods. Awards expire in accordance with the terms of each award and, upon expiration of the award, the shares subject to the award will be added to the 2017 Plan pool as described below. The contractual term of stock options granted is generally ten years. No new awards will be granted under the 2010 Plan and forfeited or terminated shares will be added to the 2017 Plan pool as described below.

The Company adopted and the shareholders approved the 2017 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”), effective February 16, 2017, to provide incentives to eligible employees, directors and consultants. The maximum number of shares that can be issued under the 2017 Plan is not to exceed 1,125,000 shares, calculated as the sum of (i) 650,000 shares and (ii) up to 475,000 shares previously reserved for issuance under the 2010 Plan, including shares returned upon cancellation, termination or forfeiture of awards that were previously granted under that plan. As of December 31, 2017, a maximum of 1.0 million shares of the Company's common stock can be issued under the 2017 Plan in connection with the grant of awards. Awards expire in accordance with the terms of each award and the shares subject to the award are added back to the 2017 Plan upon expiration of the award.

Cash-Settled Plans

The Company adopted a performance incentive plan effective July 1, 2015 (the "Fiscal 2016 Performance Plan"). The Fiscal 2016 Performance Plan is intended to provide selected employees an opportunity to earn performance-based cash bonuses whose value is based upon the Company’s stock value and to encourage such employees to provide services to the Company and to attract new individuals with outstanding qualifications. The Fiscal 2016 Performance Plan seeks to achieve this purpose by providing for awards in the form of performance share units (the “Units”). No shares will be issued under the Fiscal 2016 Performance Plan. Awards may be settled only with cash and will be paid subsequent to award vesting. The fair value of share-based compensation awards, that include performance shares, are accounted for as liabilities. Vesting for the Units is subject to achievement of both service-based and performance-based vesting requirements. Performance-based vesting occurs in three installments if the Company meets certain performance criteria generally set for each year of a three-year performance period. The service-based vesting criteria occurs in a single installment at the end of the third fiscal year after the awards are granted if the participant has continuously remained in service from the date of award through the end of the third fiscal year. The fair value of these awards is based on the trading price of the Company's common stock and is remeasured at each reporting period date until settlement. The Company adopted separate performance incentive plans effective July 1, 2016 (the "Fiscal 2017 Performance Plan") and July 1, 2017 (the "Fiscal 2018 Performance Plan"). The Fiscal 2017 Performance Plan and Fiscal 2018 Performance Plan include performance-based and service-based vesting requirements and payment terms that are substantially the same as described above for the Fiscal 2016 Performance Plan.

Stock-Based Compensation

In accordance with accounting guidance for stock-based compensation, payments in equity instruments for goods or services are accounted for by the fair value method. For the three and six months ended December 31, 2017, stock-based compensation of $0.6 million and $1.0 million, respectively, was reflected as an increase to additional paid-in capital and an increase of $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively, was included in other accrued expenses, all of which was employee related. For the three and six months ended December 31, 2016, stock-based compensation of $0.3 million and $1.0 million, respectively, was reflected as an increase to additional paid-in capital and an increase of $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, was included in other accrued expenses, all of which was employee related.

On January 4, 2016, the Company awarded performance restricted stock units under the 2010 Long-Term Incentive Plan to its executive officers (the "Recipients") and, in March 2016, the Company and each Recipient entered into an amended and restated stock unit agreement (the "Restated Stock Unit Agreement") amending the terms of the January 2016 awards. Under the Restated Stock Unit Agreements, vesting for the performance restricted stock units occurs at the end of a three-year performance period beginning January 1, 2016 (the "Performance Period") and is subject to achievement of both service-based and market-based performance vesting requirements. Subject generally to the Recipient's continued service with the Company (the service-based requirement) and limitations otherwise set forth in the 2010 Long-Term Incentive Plan, each performance restricted stock unit represents a contingent right for the Recipient to receive, within thirty days after the end of the performance period, a distribution of shares of common stock of the Company equal to 0% to 200% of the target number of performance restricted stock units subject to the award. The actual number of shares distributed will be based on the Company's total stockholder return ("TSR") performance during the Performance Period, subject to acceleration upon a change in control of the Company. The vesting for 50% of the performance restricted stock units is based upon the Company's absolute TSR for the performance period compared to a matrix of fixed numeric values and the vesting for the other 50% of the performance restricted stock units is based upon the relative comparison of the Company's TSR to the Vanguard Russell 2000 exchange traded fund TSR. The fair value of the performance restricted stock units will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards, regardless of when, if ever, the market-based performance conditions are satisfied. On March 28, 2017, the Company awarded new performance restricted stock units under the 2017 Long-Term Incentive Plan to its executive officers. These awards have a three-year performance period beginning on January 1, 2017 and otherwise include the same performance-based and service-based vesting requirements as the previous awards.

Note 6 — Commitments and Contingencies

Contingencies

The Company accounts for contingent liabilities in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 450, Contingencies. This guidance requires management to assess potential contingent liabilities that may exist as of the date of the financial statements to determine the probability and amount of loss that may have occurred, which inherently involves an exercise of judgment. If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potential material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed. For loss contingencies considered remote, no accrual or disclosures are generally made. Management has assessed potential contingent liabilities as of December 31, 2017, and based on the assessment, there are no probable loss contingencies requiring accrual or disclosures within its financial statements.

Legal Accruals

In addition to commitments and obligations in the ordinary course of business, from time to time, the Company is subject to various claims, pending and potential legal actions, investigations relating to governmental laws and regulations and other matters arising out of the normal conduct of its business. Management assesses contingencies to determine the degree of probability and range of possible loss for potential accrual in the consolidated financial statements. An estimated loss contingency is accrued in the consolidated financial statements if it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Because evaluating legal claims and litigation results are inherently unpredictable and unfavorable results could occur, assessing contingencies is highly subjective and requires judgments about future events. When evaluating contingencies, management may be unable to provide a meaningful estimate due to a number of factors, including the procedural status of the matter in question, the presence of complex or novel legal theories, and/or the ongoing discovery and development of information important to the matters. In addition, damage amounts claimed or asserted against the Company may be unsupported, exaggerated or unrelated to possible outcomes, and as such are not meaningful indicators of a potential liability. Management regularly reviews contingencies to determine the adequacy of financial statement accruals and related disclosures. The amount of ultimate loss may differ from these estimates. It is possible that cash flows or results of

operations could be materially affected in any particular period by the unfavorable resolution of one or more of these contingencies. Whether any losses finally determined in any claim, action, investigation or proceeding could reasonably have a material effect on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows will depend on a number of variables, including: the timing and amount of such losses; the structure and type of any remedies; the significance of the impact any such losses, damages or remedies may have on the consolidated financial statements; and the unique facts and circumstances of the particular matter that may give rise to additional factors.

Class Action Lawsuit: As previously reported, on September 15, 2016, a purported securities class action was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Utah, entitled Zhang v. LifeVantage Corp., Case No. 2:16-cv-00965-BCW (D. Utah filed Sept. 15, 2016). In this action (later recaptioned as In re LifeVantage Corp. Securities Litigation), plaintiff alleged that the Company, its Chief Executive Officer and former Chief Financial Officer violated Sections 10(b) and/or 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, 15 U.S.C. §§ 78j(b), 78t(a), and Rule 10b-5, 17 C.F.R. § 240.10b-5, promulgated thereunder. On June 15, 2017, the Court granted defendants’ motion to dismiss the amended complaint, without prejudice, and permitted lead plaintiffs to file a motion for leave to file a second amended complaint. On September 18, 2017, the Court denied lead plaintiffs’ motion for leave to amend and entered final judgment in favor of LifeVantage and the other defendants and dismissed the case with prejudice. On October 17, 2017, the parties executed a stipulation whereby lead plaintiffs agreed not to take an appeal from the final judgment of dismissal in favor of defendants in exchange for mutual releases, without payment of any consideration by or on behalf of defendants. This case is now concluded.

Derivative Action Lawsuits: Also, as previously reported, on October 11, 2016, two purported shareholder derivative actions were filed in the Third District Court of the State of Utah, Salt Lake County, entitled Johnson v. Jensen, Case No. 160906320 MI (Utah Dist. filed Oct. 11, 2016), and Rupp v. Jensen, Case No. 160906321 MI (Utah Dist. filed Oct. 11, 2016). In these actions (which are substantively identical), plaintiffs, purportedly on behalf of the Company, alleged that the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, former Chief Financial Officer and members of the board of directors breached their fiduciary duties owed to the Company in connection with the matters alleged in the securities class action lawsuit noted above. On October 19, 2016, the Court entered an order consolidating the two actions under the Johnson case number, with the new caption In re LifeVantage Corp. Derivative Litigation.

On January 30, 2017, another purported shareholder derivative action was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Utah, entitled Hansen v. Jensen, Case No. 2:17 cv-00075-DN (D. Utah filed Jan. 30, 2017). In this action, plaintiff, purportedly on behalf of the Company, alleged that the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, former Chief Financial Officer and members of the board of directors violated Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, 15 U.S.C. § 78n(a), and breached their fiduciary duties owed to the Company in connection with the matters alleged in the securities class action lawsuit noted above. On February 27, 2017, another purported shareholder derivative action was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Utah, entitled Baker v. Jensen, Case No. 2:17-cv-00141-PMW (D. Utah filed Feb. 27, 2017). Also, on April 24, 2017, another purported shareholder derivative action was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Utah, entitled Inforzato v. Jensen, Case No. 2:17-cv-00317-JNP (D. Utah filed Apr. 24, 2017). In these actions, plaintiffs, also purportedly on behalf of the Company, made similar allegations as the plaintiff in Hansen v. Jensen.

Following and in light of the dismissal with prejudice of the securities class action lawsuit noted above, the Company requested that the plaintiffs in the shareholder derivative actions agree to dismiss their lawsuits voluntarily and without payment of any consideration by or on behalf of defendants or the Company. On October 31, 2017, the plaintiffs in In re LifeVantage Corp. Derivative Litigation stipulated to voluntary dismissal of their consolidated action without payment of any consideration by or on behalf of defendants or the Company. On November 17, 2017, the parties in Inforzato, Hansen and Baker stipulated to voluntary dismissal of those actions without payment of any consideration by or on behalf of defendants or the Company.

On November 20, 2017, the Courts in In re LifeVantage Corp. Derivative Litigation and Hansen granted the stipulated motions to dismiss, and on December 12, 2017, the Court in Baker granted the stipulated motion to dismiss.On November 27, 2017, the Court in Inforzato ordered, pursuant to Rule 23.1(c) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, that the parties give notice to shareholders of the voluntary dismissal without prejudice of the Inforzato action before the Inforzato action could be dismissed, which the Company provided on January 8, 2018.

Other Matters. In addition to the matters described above, the Company also may become involved in other litigation and regulatory matters incidental to its business and the matters disclosed in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, including, but not limited to, product liability claims, regulatory actions, employment matters and commercial disputes. The Company intends to defend itself in any such matters and does not currently believe that the outcome of any such matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Note 7 — Related Party Transactions

Effective January 2014, the Company commenced a partnership with Real Salt Lake of Major League Soccer, which includes the placement of the Company's logo on the front of the team’s jersey as well as strategic placement of the Company's logo around the stadium and on televised broadcasts of the games.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

We are a company focused on biohacking the aging code through nutrigenomics, the study of how nutrition and naturally occurring compounds affect our genes. We are dedicated to helping people achieve their health, wellness and financial goals. We provide quality, scientifically-validated products and a financially rewarding direct sales business opportunity to preferred customers, retail customers and independent distributors. We engage in the identification, research, development and distribution of advanced nutraceutical dietary supplements and skin care products. We currently sell our products to preferred customers, retail customers and independent distributors in two geographic regions that we have classified as the Americas region and the Asia/Pacific & Europe region.

Our revenue depends on the number and productivity of our independent distributors and the number of our retail and preferred customers. When we are successful in attracting and retaining independent distributors and preferred customers, it is largely because of:


•	Our scientifically-validated products, including our Protandim^® product line, TrueScience^® anti-aging skin care line, Petandim^™ for Dogs, Axio^® Smart Energy Drink mixes, our PhysIQ^™ Smart Weight Management System and Omega+, our sustainable fish oil supplement;


•	Our compensation plan and other sales initiatives; and


•	Our delivery of superior customer service.

As a result, it is vital to our success that we leverage our product development resources to develop and introduce compelling and innovative products and provide opportunities for our independent distributors to sell these products in a variety of markets.

We have begun selling our products and attracting new independent distributors and preferred customers in several new markets since the beginning of our direct selling activities in 2009, including Japan, Hong Kong, Australia, Canada, Mexico, Thailand, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Germany. In addition, we have begun our expansion into China through our e-commerce business model. Entering a new market requires a considerable amount of time, resources and continued support. If we are unable to properly support an existing or new market, our revenue growth may be negatively impacted.

Our Products

Our products are the Protandim^®product line, the TrueScience^®anti-aging skin care line, Axio^®Smart Energy Drink mixes, PhysIQ^™ Smart Weight Management System, Petandim™ for Dogs, and Omega+, our sustainable fish oil supplement. The Protandim^® product line includes Protandim^® NRF1 and Nrf2 Synergizers™. The Protandim^®NRF1 Synergizer is formulated to increase cellular energy and performance by boosting mitochondria production to improve cellular repair and slow cellular aging. The Protandim^®Nrf2 Synergizer™ contains a proprietary blend of ingredients and has been shown to combat oxidative stress and enhance energy production by increasing the body’s natural antioxidant protection at the genetic level, inducing the production of naturally-occurring protective antioxidant enzymes including superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione synthase. Our TrueScience^® anti-aging skin care line includes TrueScience^® Facial Cleanser, TrueScience^® Perfecting Lotion, TrueScience^® Eye Serum, TrueScience^®Anti-Aging Cream, TrueScience^® Micro-Lift Serum and TrueScience^® Hand Cream. Axio^® is our line of Smart Energy Drink mixes formulated to promote alertness and support mental performance. PhysIQ^™ is our Smart Weight Management System which includes PhysIQ^™ Fat Burn, PhysIQ^™ ProBio, PhysIQ^™Cleanse and PhysIQ^™ Protein Shake mix, all formulated to aid in weight management. Petandim™ for Dogs is a supplement specially formulated to combat oxidative stress in dogs through Nrf2 activation. Omega+ is a dietary supplement that combines DHA and EPA Omega-3 fatty acids, Omega-7 fatty acids, and Vitamin D3 to support cognitive health, cardiovascular health, skin health, and the immune system.

We currently have additional products in development. Any delays or difficulties in introducing compelling products or attractive initiatives or tools into our markets may have a negative impact on our revenue and our ability to attract new independent distributors, preferred customers and retail customers.

Customers

Because we utilize a direct selling model for the distribution of our products, the success and growth of our business is primarily based on the effectiveness of our independent distributors in selling our products and on our ability to attract new and retain existing independent distributors. Changes in our product sales are typically the result of variations in product sales volume relating to fluctuations in the number of active independent distributors and preferred customers purchasing our products. The number of active independent distributors and preferred customers is, therefore, used by management as a key non-financial measure.

The following tables summarize the changes in our active customer base by geographic region. These numbers have been rounded to the nearest thousand as of the dates indicated. For purposes of this report, we only count as active customers those independent distributors and preferred customers who have purchased from us at any time during the most recent three-month period, either for personal use or for resale.

Results of Operations

Three and Six Months Ended December 31, 2017 compared to the Three and Six Months Ended December 31, 2016

Revenue. We generated net revenue of $49.5 million and $48.9 million during the three months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. We generated net revenue of $98.6 million and $103.8 million during the six months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Foreign currency fluctuations negatively impacted our revenue $0.1 million or 0.3% and $0.9 million or 0.9% during the three and six months ended December 31, 2017, respectively.

Americas. The following table sets forth revenue for the three and six months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 for the Americas region (in thousands):



	Three Months Ended December 31,						Six Months Ended December 31,
	2017		2016		% Change		2017		2016		% Change
United States	$	34,814	$	35,535	(2.0	)%	$	68,929	$	74,153	(7.0	)%
Other	2,089		2,078		0.5	%	4,137		3,595		15.1	%
Americas Total	$	36,903	$	37,613	(1.9	)%	$	73,066	$	77,748	(6.0	)%

Revenue in the Americas region for the three and six months ended December 31, 2017 decreased $0.7 million or 1.9% and $4.7 million or 6.0%, respectively, from the prior year same periods. Revenue in the United States decreased, as compared to the prior year periods, following the completion of the independent review conducted by the audit committee of our board of directors in December 2016, as policy changes were made to help ensure that our products are not distributed or sold into countries without complying with applicable customs, tax and other regulatory requirements and to appropriately verify the residency of individuals who want to become our independent distributors. The internal and external disruptions caused by the audit committee review and associated policy changes also led to a decrease in our active distributors and preferred customers in the United States as compared to the prior year periods, which contributed to the decreased current year revenues. These decreases were partially offset by increased revenue in Mexico due to the launch of the Protandim^®product line during the current fiscal year.

Asia/Pacific & Europe. The following table sets forth revenue for the three and six months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 for the Asia/Pacific & Europe region and its principal markets (in thousands):



	Three Months Ended December 31,						Six Months Ended December 31,
	2017		2016		% Change		2017		2016		% Change
Japan	$	10,383	$	9,498	9.3	%	$	21,240	$	20,105	5.6	%
Hong Kong	241		721		(66.6	)%	489		3,344		(85.4	)%
Other	1,955		1,115		75.3	%	3,814		2,644		44.3	%
Asia/Pacific & Europe Total	$	12,579	$	11,334	11.0	%	$	25,543	$	26,093	(2.1	)%

Revenue in the Asia/Pacific & Europe region increased $1.2 million or 11.0% for the three months ended December 31, 2017 as compared to the prior year period, and decreased by $0.6 million or 2.1% for the six months ended December 31, 2017 as compared to the prior year period. Revenue in the Asia/Pacific & Europe region was negatively impacted approximately $0.2 million or 2.1% and $1.1 million or 4.1% during the three and six months ended December 31, 2017, respectively, as compared to the prior year period, by foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. The negative impact for the region was primarily due to the weakening of the Japanese yen against the U.S. dollar, as compared to the prior year period, negatively impacting our revenue in Japan by $0.3 million or 3.6% and $1.2 million or 6.2%, respectively. On a constant currency basis, revenue in Japan increased 12.9% and 11.9% for the three and six months ended December 31, 2017, respectively, as compared to the prior year periods. In addition to the increase in Japan revenues during the periods, revenues in Thailand increased due to the launch of Protandim^®Nrf2 during our first fiscal quarter and revenues increased in Europe as we continue to expand and support our distributor base.

Revenues in Hong Kong decreased significantly, as compared to the prior year periods, following the completion of the independent review conducted by the audit committee of our board of directors in December 2016, as policy changes were made to help ensure that our products are not distributed or sold into countries without complying with applicable customs, tax and other regulatory requirements and to appropriately verify the residency of individuals who want to become our independent distributors.

We continue to focus on strengthening our core business, including the expansion of our product offering and expanding our global footprint. These efforts include the development and enhancement of distributor tools, training aids and technology, the scientific research and development of new products, and entrance into new markets. During the six months ended December 31, 2017, we launched business operations in Germany and held events for our independent distributors in the US, Canada, Japan and Europe. We are investing in both internal and external technology tools that we expect will help our independent distributors grow their businesses and help us better operate our business. During the quarter ended December 31, 2017, we began a commercial pilot to test our mainland China business model which utilizes an e-commerce platform. We have completed testing of transactional, logistical and banking processes and anticipate a full launch of our e-commerce model in China in the third fiscal quarter of 2018. We remain committed to pursuing growth in each of our markets and operating our business in accordance with our strengthened business practices.

Gross Margin. Our gross profit percentage for the three months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 was 81.6% and 84.7%, respectively. Our gross profit percentage for the six months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 was 81.9% and 84.3%, respectively.

As a percentage of total revenues, cost of sales for the three months ended December 31, 2017 increased to 18.4% compared to 15.3% for the three months ended December 31, 2016 and increased for the six months ended December 31, 2017 to 18.1% from 15.7% for the six months ended December 31, 2016. The increase in cost of sales as a percentage of revenue for the three and six months ended December 31, 2017, as compared to the prior year same periods, is primarily due to changes to our product and geographic sales mix, the incorporation of free shipping on product bundle purchases, and to increased costs associated with the obsolescence, storage, handling and shipment of inventory.

Operating Expenses. Total operating expenses during the three months ended December 31, 2017 decreased to $38.0 million or 76.9% of revenues as compared to operating expenses of $40.7 million or 83.2% of revenues during the three months ended December 31, 2016. Total operating expenses during the six months ended December 31, 2017 decreased to $77.0 million or 78.1% of revenues as compared to operating expenses of $84.8 million or 81.7% of revenues during the six months ended December 31, 2016. Operating expenses consist of commission and incentives expenses and selling, general and administrative expenses.

Commissions and Incentives. Commissions and incentives expenses during the three months ended December 31, 2017 were $23.4 million or 47.3% of revenues as compared to commissions and incentives expenses of $23.5 million or 48.1% of revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2016. Commissions and incentives expenses during the six months ended December 31, 2017 were $46.8 million or 47.5% of revenues as compared to commissions and incentives expenses of $49.8 million or 48.0% of revenues for the six months ended December 31, 2016.

The decrease in commissions and incentives expenses as a percentage of revenues for the three and six months ended December 31, 2017 as compared to the prior year periods is due to the refinement to promotion and incentive programs and initiatives and the timing of events and promotional periods. Distributor commissions as a percentage of commissionable revenues generated remained consistent during the comparable periods.

We expect commissions and incentives expenses to remain relatively stable as a percentage of net sales during the remainder of fiscal 2018, with some fluctuations caused by further refinements to compensation and incentive programs and initiatives.

Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative expenses during the three months ended December 31, 2017 were $14.6 million as compared to selling, general and administrative expenses of $17.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2016. Selling, general and administrative expenses during the six months ended December 31, 2017 were $30.2 million as compared to selling, general and administrative expenses of $35.0 million for the six months ended December 31, 2016.

The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses during the three and six months ended December 31, 2017 compared to the prior year same period was primarily due to decreased legal and accounting expenses associated with the independent review conducted by the audit committee of our board of directors, which was completed during December 2016. Additionally, expenses associated with professional services, executive transition costs and legal costs related to settled and dismissed cases decreased during the current year periods.

We expect selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percent of revenue, to remain relatively consistent for the remainder of the fiscal year as we execute on our strategic initiatives.

Total Other Expense. During the three and six months ended December 31, 2017, we recognized net other expenses of $0.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively, as compared to net other expenses of $0.3 million and $0.6 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2016, respectively. Total other expense for the three and six months ended December 31, 2017 consisted primarily of interest expense and net currency losses.

The following table sets forth interest expense for the three and six months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 (in thousands):



	Three Months Ended December 31,				Six Months Ended December 31,
	2017		2016		2017		2016
Contractual interest expense:
2016 Term Loan	$	88	$	113	$	183	$	233
Amortization of deferred financing fees:
2016 Term Loan	3		3		6		6
Amortization of debt discount:
2016 Term Loan	5		5		10		10
Other	7		17		66		26
Total interest expense	$	103	$	138	$	265	$	275

Income Tax Expense. We recognized an income tax expense of $1.7 million and $2.2 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2017, respectively, as compared to income tax expense of $0.1 million and $0.6 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2016, respectively.

assets and liabilities to the reduced rates based on the period in which those assets and liabilities are expected to reverse. We have incorporated the changes resulting from the 2017 Act in our tax related accounts in the period ended December 31, 2017, which resulted in a significant increase to our effective tax rate.

The effective tax rate was 84.6% and 65.8%, respectively, of pre-tax income during the three and six months ended December 31, 2017, compared to 31.3% and 30.0%, respectively, for the same prior year periods. The increase in the effective tax rates for the three and six months ended December 31, 2017 is the result of the remeasurement of our deferred tax assets, pursuant to the 2017 act, leading to a reduction in the deferred tax balances of approximately $1.2 million which represents approximately 35.2% of the year to date effective tax rate. The increases associated with the deferred tax adjustments were partially offset due to the lower blended corporate tax rate for fiscal 2018.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

Our primary liquidity and capital resource requirements are to service our debt and finance the cost of our planned operating expenses and working capital (principally inventory purchases), as well as capital expenditures. We have generally relied on cash flow from operations to fund operating activities and we have, at times, incurred long-term debt in order to fund stock repurchases and strategic transactions.

As of December 31, 2017, our available liquidity was $12.8 million, which consisted of available cash and cash equivalents. This represents an increase of $1.3 million from the $11.5 million in cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2017.

During the six months ended December 31, 2017, our net cash provided by operating activities was $4.7 million as compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $5.1 million during the six months ended December 31, 2016.

During the six months ended December 31, 2017, our net cash used in investing activities was $2.1 million, as a result of our investment in new technology assets and the purchase of fixed assets. During the six months ended December 31, 2016, our net cash used in investing activities was $0.2 million, as a result of the purchase of fixed assets.

Cash used in financing activities during the six months ended December 31, 2017 was $1.3 million as a result of our quarterly principal payments on the March 2016 Term Loan and repurchase of company stock. Cash used in financing activities during the six months ended December 31, 2016 was $1.0 million as a result of our quarterly principal payments on the March 2016 Term Loan.

At December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017, the total amount of our foreign subsidiary cash was $5.6 million and $6.6 million, respectively. As a result of the corporate tax reform signed into law during December 2017, companies are required to pay a one-time repatriation tax on net un-taxed foreign unrepatriated earnings. Tax reform also enacted a 100% dividend deduction for > 10% owned foreign corporations. Therefore, in the future, if needed we can repatriate cash from foreign subsidiaries without paying additional US taxes. We completed an initial analysis of all foreign based earnings as of December 31, 2017, and we project an immaterial amount of additional income tax liabilities associated with the deemed repatriation provision due to our large foreign tax pool in Japan.

At December 31, 2017, we had working capital (current assets minus current liabilities) of $12.6 million, compared to working capital of $12.2 million at June 30, 2017. We believe that our cash and cash equivalents balances and our ongoing cash flow from operations will be sufficient to satisfy our cash requirements for at least the next 12 months. The majority of our historical expenses have been variable in nature and as such, a potential reduction in the level of revenue would reduce our cash flow needs. In the event that our current cash balances and future cash flow from operations are not sufficient to meet our obligations or strategic needs, we would consider raising additional funds, which may not be available on terms that are acceptable to us, or at all. Our credit facility, however, contains covenants that restrict our ability to raise additional funds in the debt markets and repurchase our equity securities without prior approval from the lender. Additionally, we would consider realigning our strategic plans including a reduction in capital spending and expenses.

Capital Resources

On March 30, 2016, we entered into a Loan Agreement (the “March 2016 Loan Agreement”) to refinance our outstanding debt. In connection with the March 2016 Loan Agreement and on the same date, we entered into a security agreement (the “Security Agreement”). The March 2016 Loan Agreement provides for a term loan in an aggregate principal amount of $10.0 million (the “March 2016 Term Loan") and a revolving loan facility in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $2.0 million (the “March 2016 Revolving Loan,” and collectively with the March 2016 Term Loan, the March 2016 Loan Agreement and the Security Agreement, the “March 2016 Credit Facility”).

The principal amount of the March 2016 Term Loan is payable in consecutive quarterly installments in the amount of $0.5 million plus accrued interest beginning with the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2016 and maturing on March 30, 2019 (the “Maturity Date”). The March 2016 Term Loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 4.93%. If we borrow under the March 2016 Revolving Loan, interest will be payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each fiscal quarter at a variable rate equal to the 30 day LIBOR Rate plus 3.50%.

The March 2016 Credit Facility contains customary covenants, including affirmative and negative covenants that, among other things, restrict our ability to create certain types of liens, incur additional indebtedness, declare or pay dividends on or redeem capital stock, make other payments to holders of our equity interests, make certain investments, purchase or otherwise acquire all or substantially all the assets or equity interests of other companies, sell assets or enter into consolidations, mergers or transfers of all or any substantial part of our assets. As of December 31, 2017, we were in compliance with all applicable non-financial and restrictive covenants under the March 2016 Credit Facility.

The March 2016 Credit Facility also contains various financial covenants that require us to maintain certain consolidated minimum tangible net worth, minimum consolidated working capital amounts, and certain consolidated debt to EBITDA and fixed charge coverage ratios. Specifically, we must:


•	Maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio (as defined in the March 2016 Loan Agreement) of at least 1.50 to 1.00 at the end of each fiscal quarter, measured on a trailing twelve month basis;


•	Maintain minimum consolidated working capital (as defined in the March 2016 Loan Agreement) at the end of each fiscal quarter of at least $5.0 million;


•	Maintain a ratio of funded debt to EBITDA (as defined in the March 2016 Loan Agreement) of not greater than 2.00 to 1.00 at the end of each quarter, measured on a trailing twelve month basis; and


•	Have a tangible net worth (as defined in the March 2016 Loan Agreement) of at least $4.0 million by the end of our 2016 fiscal year and maintain that minimum tangible net worth thereafter, measured annually at fiscal year-end.

As of December 31, 2017, we were in compliance with all applicable financial covenants under the March 2016 Credit Facility. Additionally, management anticipates that in the normal course of operations we will be in compliance with the financial covenants during the ensuing year.

Commitments and Obligations

The following table summarizes our contractual payment obligations and commitments as of December 31, 2017 (in thousands):



			Payments due by period
Contractual Obligations	Total		Less than 1 year		1-3 years		3-5 years		Thereafter

(1) Other operating obligations represent non-cancelable contractual obligations primarily related to marketing and sponsorship commitments and purchases of inventory.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of December 31, 2017, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies

We prepare our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. As such, we are required to make certain estimates, judgments, and assumptions that we believe are reasonable based upon the information available. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to our unaudited condensed

consolidated financial statements. Certain of these significant accounting policies require us to make difficult, subjective, or complex judgments or estimates. We consider an accounting estimate to be critical if (1) the accounting estimate requires us to make assumptions about matters that were highly uncertain at the time the accounting estimate was made, and (2) changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely to occur from period to period, or use of different estimates that we reasonably could have used in the current period, would have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

There are other items within our financial statements that require estimation, but are not deemed critical as defined above. Changes in estimates used in these and other items could have a material impact on our financial statements. Management has discussed the development and selection of these critical accounting estimates with our board of directors, and the audit committee has reviewed the disclosures noted below.

Allowances for Product Returns

We record allowances for product returns at the time we ship the product based on estimated return rates. Subject to some exceptions based on local regulations, customers may return unopened product to us within 30 days of purchase for a refund of the purchase price less shipping and handling. As of December 31, 2017, our shipments of products sold totaling approximately $15.5 million were subject to the return policy. In addition, we allow terminating distributors to return up to 30% of unopened, unexpired product they purchased within the prior twelve months.

We monitor our product returns estimate on an ongoing basis and revise the allowances to reflect our experience. Our allowance for product returns was $0.3 million at December 31, 2017, compared with $0.4 million at June 30, 2017. To date, product expiration dates have not played any role in product returns, and we do not expect that they will in the future as it is unlikely that we will ship product with an expiration date earlier than the latest allowable product return date.

Inventory Valuation

We value our inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value on a first-in first-out basis. Accordingly, we reduce our inventories for the diminution of value resulting from product obsolescence, damage or other issues affecting marketability equal to the difference between the cost of the inventory and its estimated market value. Factors utilized in the determination of estimated market value include (i) current sales data and historical return rates, (ii) estimates of future demand, (iii) competitive pricing pressures, (iv) new production introductions, (v) product expiration dates, and (vi) component and packaging obsolescence.

During the three months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, we recognized expenses of $0.5 million and $0.1 million, respectively, related to obsolete and slow-moving inventory.

Revenue Recognition

We ship the majority of our product directly to the consumer and receive substantially all payment for these sales in the form of credit card receipts. Revenue from direct product sales to customers is recognized upon shipment, which is when passage of title and risk of loss occurs.

Stock-Based Compensation

We use the fair value approach to account for stock-based compensation in accordance with current accounting guidance. We recognize compensation costs for awards with performance conditions when we conclude it is probable that the performance conditions will be achieved. We reassess the probability of vesting at each balance sheet date and adjust compensation costs based on our probability assessment. For awards with market-based performance conditions, the cost of the awards is recognized as the requisite service is rendered by the employees, regardless of when, if ever, the market-based performance conditions are satisfied.

Research and Development Costs

We expense all of our payments related to research and development activities as incurred.

Legal Accruals

We are occasionally involved in lawsuits and disputes arising in the normal course of business. Management regularly reviews all pending litigation matters in which we are involved and establishes accruals as we deem appropriate for these litigation matters when a probable loss estimate can be made. Estimated accruals require management judgment about future events. The results of lawsuits are inherently unpredictable and unfavorable resolutions could occur. As such, the amount of loss may differ from management estimates.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

See Note 2 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for a discussion of recently issued accounting standards.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We conduct business in several countries and intend to continue to grow our international operations. Net revenue, operating income and net income are affected by fluctuations in currency exchange rates and other uncertainties in doing business and selling products in more than one currency. In addition, our operations are exposed to risks associated with changes in social, political and economic conditions inherent in international operations, including changes in the laws and policies that govern international investment in countries where we have operations, as well as, to a lesser extent, changes in U.S. laws and regulations relating to international trade and investment.

Foreign Currency Risk

During the six months ended December 31, 2017, approximately 30.1% of our net revenue was realized outside of the United States. The local currency of each international subsidiary is generally the functional currency. All revenues and expenses are translated at weighted-average exchange rates for the periods reported. Therefore, our reported revenue and earnings will be positively impacted by a weakening of the U.S. dollar and will be negatively impacted by a strengthening of the U.S. dollar. Currency fluctuations, however, have the opposite effect on our expenses incurred outside the United States. Given the large portion of our business derived from Japan, any weakening of the Japanese yen will negatively impact our reported revenue and profits, whereas a strengthening of the Japanese yen will positively impact our reported revenue and profits. Because of the uncertainty of exchange rate fluctuations, it is difficult to predict the effect of these fluctuations on our future business, product pricing and results of operations or financial condition. Changes in various currency exchange rates affect the relative prices at which we sell our products. We regularly monitor our foreign currency risks and periodically take measures to reduce the risk of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on our operating results. Additionally, we may seek to reduce our exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates through the use of foreign currency exchange contracts. We do not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. At December 31, 2017, we did not have any derivative instruments. A 10% strengthening of the U.S. dollar compared to all of the foreign currencies in which we transact business would have resulted in a 2.7% decrease of our six months ended December 31, 2017 revenue, in the amount of $2.7 million.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (a) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and (b) accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness and design and operation of such disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as amended. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were designed and operating effectively as of December 31, 2017.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2017 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.

An evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 of the Exchange Act was also performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of any change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter. That evaluation did not identify any changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended December 31, 2017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

PART II. Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

See Note 6 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained within this quarterly report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of our legal proceedings.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in “Part I. Item 1A — Risk Factors” in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017, filed on September 7, 2017. The risks and uncertainties described in such risk factors and elsewhere in this report, including the risk factor below, have the potential to materially affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, projected results and future prospects. Other than the risk factor described below, as of the date of this report, we do not believe that there have been any material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in our recent SEC filings, including our most recently filed Form 10-K, as referenced above.

We rely on our information technology systems to manage numerous aspects of our business, and a disruption in these systems could adversely affect our business.

We depend on our information technology, or IT, systems to manage numerous aspects of our business, including our finance and accounting transactions, to manage our independent distributor compensation plan and to provide analytical information to management. Our IT systems are an essential component of our business and growth strategies, and a serious disruption to our IT systems could significantly limit our ability to manage and operate our business efficiently. We plan to implement new enterprise software systems in a number of areas affecting a broad range of business processes and functional areas. The time and resources required to implement these new systems is uncertain and failure to complete this in a timely and efficient manner could harm our business.

These systems are vulnerable to, among other things, damage and interruption from power loss or natural disasters, computer system and network failures, loss of telecommunications services, physical and electronic loss of data, security breaches and computer viruses. Any disruption could cause our business and competitive position to suffer and adversely affect our business and operating results. In addition, if we experience future growth, we will need to scale or change some of our systems to accommodate the increasing number of independent distributors and other customers.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

On November 27, 2017, our Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase plan. Under the plan, which became effective on November 27, 2017, we are authorized to repurchase up to $5.0 million of our outstanding shares through November 27, 2020. The repurchase program permits us to purchase shares from time to time through a variety of methods, including in the open market, through privately negotiated transactions or other means as determined by our management, in accordance with applicable securities laws. As part of the repurchase program, we may enter into a pre-arranged stock repurchase plan which will operate in accordance with guidelines specified under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Accordingly, transactions, if any, under the pre-arranged repurchase plan would be completed in accordance with the terms of the stock repurchase plan, including specified price, volume and timing conditions. The authorization may be suspended or discontinued at any time and expires on November 27, 2020. During the period from November 27, 2017 through December 31, 2017, we repurchased 45,107 shares of our common stock on the open market at an aggregate purchase price of $0.2 million under this repurchase program.

The following table provides information with respect to all purchases made by the Company during the three months ended December 31, 2017. All purchases listed below were made in the open market at prevailing market prices and pursuant to trading plans adopted by us pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
