Guidance and outlook
Forward-looking statements, 10-Q filed Jul 29, 2026
- China has been and continues to be our most important business development project.
- We expect to reapply for a direct selling license in China when we believe that circumstances are again ripe for doing so.
- We do not expect that any increased sales in China derived from obtaining a direct selling license would initially be material and, in any event may be partially offset by the higher fixed costs associated with the establishment and maintenance of required service centers, branch offices, manufacturing facilities, certification programs and other legal requirements.
- We are unable to predict whether and when we will be successful in obtaining a direct selling license to operate in China, and if we are successful, when we will be permitted to conduct direct selling operations and whether such operations would be profitable.
- We expect these actions to generate approximately $1.5 million in annualized cost savings, though not all of these savings are expected to be realized during 2026 due to the timing of certain facility-related actions.
- Occasionally, we make modifications and enhancements to our compensation plan to help motivate members, which can have an impact on member commissions.

- Any future cash dividends will be at the sole discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors, and will depend on our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements and other factors considered relevant by the Board of Directors.
- If necessary, we may attempt to generate more funding from the capital markets, but currently we do not believe that will be necessary.
- We will continue to invest in our Mainland China entity for such purposes as establishing China-based manufacturing capabilities, increasing public awareness of our brand and our products, sourcing more Chinese-made products, building a chain of service stations, opening additional Healthy Lifestyle Centers or branch offices, adding local staffing and other requirements for a prospective China direct selling…
- We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which require our management to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet dates, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
- We consider an accounting estimate to be critical if: (i) the accounting estimate requires us to make assumptions about matters that were highly uncertain at the time the accounting estimate was made, and (ii) 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…
