Some Answers:

Hi, Kevin. Jeff Skieth already answered some of your questions, so I'd urge you to order your products through him. Since Jeff is a distributor under me, I thought I'd throw my 2cents worth in too. I can't answer all your questions, but here's what I know:

Last year's annual results were released on Nov 2.

Year-Q-eps-Sales-Net Inc
1995 Q2 .10 6m 283k
1995 Q3 .19 8m 549k
1995 Q4 .41 13m 1170k
1996 Q1 .40 21m 2553k
1996 Q2 .55 30m 3642k
1996 Q3 .30 26m 1877k

I just got a copy of the suit from Milberg, Weiss, Bershad, Hynes & Lerach. It seems to be primarily based on the supposition that NFLI's sales are based on an illegal pyramid scheme and thus the defendants defrauded the plaintiff. I think it highly unlikely that a court would buy into that supposition considering the settlement earlier this year with eight state AGs.

This quarter is supposed to be good because we expect a return to the growth pattern that we had established before the state AGs investigation. The announcement of that event caused some distributors to quit and others to slow down their activities. Through the first three quarters, we had already done $77 million in sales, so we don't even have to get back to the $30m level of Q2 to reach $100m for the year. If we do reach $100m for the year, our three year sales numbers will be:

1994 $17m
1995 $32m
1996 $100m

In addition to just the numbers, Kevin Trudeau has been running some promotions to spark growth again. Most of us are convinced that we are now back on the fast track. We will be expanding in the UK in November.
