| ·   | We provide for inventory valuation adjustments for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand, market conditions and/or liquidation value.  For both the fiscal 2010 and 2009 first quarters, inventory valuationadjustments resulted in a decrease in our gross profit and operating income of approximately $0.1 million.  If actual demand and/or market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory write-downs would be required. |
|--------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| ·   | We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts, sales returns and discounts for estimated losses resulting from customer exposures, including among others, product returns, inability to make payments and expected utilization of offered discounts.  Changes in our allowances for doubtful accounts, sales returns and discounts resulted in a decreasein our gross profit and operating income of approximately $0.1 million and $0.5 million, respectively, for the fiscal 2010 and 2009 first quarters.  At August 31, 2009 and May 31, 2009, our allowances for doubtful accounts, sales returns and discounts amounted to approximately $2.0 million and $2.3 million, respectively.  Actual results may differ from our current estimates, resulting in adjustment of the respective allowance(s). |

| ·   | We recognize tax benefits relative to certain tax positions in which we may be uncertain as to whether that tax position will ultimately be sustained as filed in our tax return.  The recognition or derecognition of these tax benefits is subject to periodic evaluation of the sustainability of the tax position based upon changes in facts, circumstancesor available information.  Changes in the recognition of these tax benefits did not significantly impact net income for the fiscal 2010 and 2009 first quarters.  At both August 31, 2009 and May 31, 2009, unrecognized tax benefits totaled approximately $0.2 million. |
|--------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| ·   | We currently have deferred tax assets resulting from temporary differences between financial and income tax reporting.  These deferred tax assets are subject to periodic recoverability assessments.  The realization of these deferred tax assets is primarily dependent on future operating results.  At both August 31, 2009 andMay 31, 2009, deferred tax asset valuation allowances were nil; thus, changes in these valuation allowances did not impact net income for the fiscal 2010 and 2009 first quarters. |
|--------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| ·   | We recognize compensation expense for certain liability classified performance awards based on the appropriate change in fair value for the reporting period based on the requisite service completed.  The fair value is estimated based on a periodic assessment of the probability that the performance criteria will be achieved.  Our periodicassessment of the probability that the performance criteria will be achieved considers such factors as historical financial results and future financial expectations, including an analysis of sales trends and operating margins; as well as changes in the nutritional supplements industry and competitive environment.  For the fiscal 2010 first quarter, we recognized compensation expense related to existing awards of approximately $0.5 million.  For the fiscal 2009 first quarter, we did not recognizeany compensation expense related to existing awards.  At August 31, 2009, total unrecognized compensation expense, based on the estimated fair value as determined by our assessment of the probability that the performance criteria will be achieved, was approximately $1.3 million.  This amount, which is subject to change based on the estimated fair value determined at each future reporting period, is expected to be recognized over the remaining service period. |

| ·   | We have certain intangible assets, primarily consisting of goodwill, which are tested for impairment at least annually.  The determination of whether or not goodwill is impaired involves significant judgment.  Changes in strategy or market conditions could significantly impact our judgment and require adjustment to the recorded goodwillbalance. |
