Item 1.       Description of Business

                                    Overview

Our Company

      We develop and market nutritional fruit and vegetable supplements, protein
supplements, and nutraceuticals products. Through a licensing agreement, we also
have certain rights for the use of a pharmaceutical delivery system known as
"GEOMATRIX." Our principal products currently are Greensfirst(R), Dream
Protein(R), and Complete Essentials(R). We distribute our products primarily in
the following three distribution channels:

      o     healthcare practitioners, including physicians, condition
            specialists, chiropractors, nutritionists, and trainers who promote
            or prescribe our products;

      o     regional nutritional distributors that market our proprietary
            products and patient selling system directly to healthcare
            practitioners who utilize our proprietary selling system to market
            our products directly to consumers; and

      o     directly to consumers through call centers and websites.

      The following table sets forth our current target conditions, products,
and distribution channels:

      Nutritional supplements represent a convenient and cost-effective way for
an individual to obtain the nutritional benefits of whole foods. Nutritional
supplements are formulated from whole foods and are intended to provide for
improved health, reduced risk of diseases, and the delay onset of age related
indicators while resulting in little added caloric and fat intake. Nutritional
supplements come in powder, capsule, cracker, and other forms.

      Nutraceuticals, consisting of vitamins, minerals, herbs, and supplements,
are products that are isolated or purified from foods and generally sold in
medicinal forms not usually associated with foods, including tablets, capsules,
and drops. Nutraceuticals are intended to have physiological benefits or have
the ability to reduce the risk of chronic disease beyond basic nutritional
products. We develop and test our nutraceuticals in collaboration with leading
medical experts in the nutraceuticals field. We have designed our products to be
incorporated by healthcare practitioners into standard patient routines in which
healthcare practitioners recommend and sell our nutritional supplements and
nutraceuticals products to their patients. Use of vitamins, minerals, herbs, and
nutritional supplements continues to rise as consumers seek nutritional products
to improve general health, increase longevity, and enhance the overall quality
of life.

      We were incorporated in the state of Nevada on January 22, 2001 under the
name Nutritional Systems, Inc. We acquired substantially all of the assets of
Vital Living, Inc. effective as of May 7, 2001 and changed our name to Vital
Living, Inc. on May 20, 2001. On August 16, 2001, we merged with VCM Technology
Limited, a company reporting under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934.
Following the merger, we continued as the surviving corporation and commenced
reporting under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934.

      Our executive offices are located at 5080 North 40th Street, Suite 105,
Phoenix, Arizona 85018, and our telephone number is (602) 952-9909. Our website
is located at www.vitalliving.com.

Strategy

      Our goal is to become a major participant in the nutritional supplement
and nutraceutical markets. Key elements of our strategy to achieve this goal
include the following:

      o     capitalize on the growing consumer interest in the use of
            nutritional supplements and nutraceuticals to complement traditional
            health care routines,

      o     develop products that appeal to health care professionals and
            consumers,

      o     enhance our distribution channels and the participants in those
            channels, and

      o     pursue strategic acquisitions in the highly fragmented nutritional
            supplement and nutraceuticals markets to expand our product
            offerings, distribution channels, and geographic reach.

                                    Business

Products

      Our current principal products are GreensFirst(R), Dream Protein(R),
Complete Essentials(R) and Essentum(R).

      GreensFIRST(R) is a highly concentrated formulation of fruits and
vegetables with natural, organic, whole foods and extracts, produced in a powder
for mixing with a variety of liquids. GreensFirst(R) supplies natural vitamins,
minerals, plant enzymes, antioxidants, phytonutrients, and symbiotic intestinal
flora designed to provide for more optimal energy metabolism, fat burning,
digestion, detoxification, immunity, repair, recovery, rejuvenation, and vital
longevity. GreensFIRST(R) is currently distributed through more than 2,500
healthcare practitioners throughout the United States.

      Dream Protein(R) is a whey protein highly concentrated formula, consisting
of proprietary hormone free, ultra-lowtemp(TM) whey protein isolate. We start
with hormone free whey from New Zealand cows, which are "meadow fed" and not
given any rBGH or BST Hormones. Dream Protein is also made with an Ultra-Low
Temp(TM) process in which the protein is not denatured (damaged) from an
extensive heat treatment.

      Complete Essentials(R) is a ultra pure omega 369 dietary supplement that
contains essential fatty acids derived from organic flaxseed oil, borage seed
oil, and deep sea cold water fish oil. Because the human body cannot manufacture
essential fatty acids on its own, our unique dietary supplement is a blend of
healthy oils designed to satisfy an individual's need for essential fatty acids.

      Essentum(R) and EssentumNP(R) (collectively "Essentum") are our
proprietary, patent-pending supplements designed by cardiologists to meet
specific nutritional needs for cardiovascular health. Cardiovascular disease
affects nearly 60 million Americans and is one of the leading causes of death in
the United States. The American Heart Association estimates that 100 million
Americans could benefit from improved dietary and exercise regimens to reduce
their risk of heart attack. The nutrients in Essentum are designed to support
healthy levels of cholesterol, triglycerides, and homocysteine, as well as to
provide necessary vitamins and minerals. Because physicians formulated it,
Essentum will not interact with, or reduce the effectiveness of, typical
cardio-related prescription medications.

Sales and Marketing

      We market our products through the following distribution channels:

      o     healthcare practitioners, which includes physicians, condition
            specialists, chiropractors, nutritionists, and trainers, who promote
            or prescribe our products.

      o     regional nutritional distributors that market our proprietary
            products and patient selling system directly to healthcare
            practitioners who utilize our proprietary selling system to market
            directly to consumers.

      o     directly to consumers through call centers and websites.


                                       4
<PAGE>

      We distribute a majority of our products, including Greensfirst(R), Dream
Protein(R), and Complete Essentials(R), primarily through healthcare
practitioners. We currently sell our Essentum(R) product directly to consumers
through call centers and other means. During 2004 and 2003, our Greensfirst(R)
product was primarily responsible for a significant portion of our revenue.
During 2004 and 2003, Essentum(R) represented an immaterial portion of our
revenue.

      During the third quarter of 2004, we entered a joint venture with Wellness
Watchers Systems providing for the development and marketing of the Healthy
Living Kit. The Healthy Living Kit creates a Wellness Smoothie, which is a meal
replacement designed for all types of metabolisms and blood types. It consists
of one scoop of GreensFirst(R) and one scoop of Dream Protein(R) in six ounces
of water along with one Complete Essential(R) Ultra Pure Omega 3-6-9 capsule.
Each Healthy Living Kit Wellness Smoothie meal replacement is a balanced,
low-calorie, low-glycemic, hypoallergenic, high-antioxidant, nutrient-dense food
source. It is created from a combination of potent organic, hormone and
pesticide free all-natural foods. The Health Living Kit along with the lifestyle
program were created to assist healthcare practitioners in dealing with chronic
diseases, such as cancer, heart disease, and diabetes.

      We continue to explore other possibilities to distribute our products
nationally and internationally. We may evaluate the regulatory and distribution
structures in Europe, Asia, and other international markets to determine the
best way to distribute our products in those markets.

Research and Development

      Our research and development efforts focus on developing, testing, and
substantiating the efficacy of new products in response to what we perceive is a
need in the healthcare practitioner distribution channel to complement existing
product lines currently available to our customers. Additionally, we continually
reformulate existing products in response to literature and market demand.

      We believe that flexibility and innovation with respect to new products
are crucial factors in remaining competitive in the nutritional supplements and
nutraceuticals markets and being able to produce the most effective products,
which healthcare practitioners will be willing to prescribe for their patients
for specific conditions. By monitoring market trends and avoiding short-lived
"fad" products, we attempt to anticipate healthcare practitioners demand for
certain product categories. Maintaining flexibility is a key to enabling us to
capitalize on emerging sciences relative to nutritional products as well as
shifts in consumer needs.

      Research and development costs amounted to approximately $1.1 million and
$400,000 for 2004 and 2003, respectively. Research and development costs
incurred from our formation until December 31, 2004 were $2.1 million.

Manufacturing

      We utilize independent contract manufacturers to produce all of our
products. Competitors that manufacture their own products may have an advantage
over us with respect to pricing, availability of products, and other areas
through their control of manufacturing processes. During the first quarter of
2005, we entered into a one-year contractual arrangement with one of our primary
manufacturers. The potential loss of our relationships with our manufacturers or
their inability to conduct their manufacturing services for us as anticipated in
terms of cost, quality and product delivery could adversely affect our ability
to provide cost-effective, high-quality, and timely product delivery to our
customers. We depend to a great extent on our manufacturers for the safety,
purity, and potency of our products.

Raw Materials and Quality Control

      The principal raw materials used in the manufacture of our nutritional
supplements and nutraceuticals are natural ingredients purchased from
manufacturers and other suppliers in the United States, with certain materials
imported from other countries. We purchase these raw materials directly or
through our manufactures and other suppliers. Therefore, with our suppliers and
manufacturers, we maintain the responsibility for documenting all certificates
of analysis for the materials in accordance with good manufacturing practices
("GMP") and guidelines. All raw materials are sent directly to our manufacturers
for milling and other fabrication. We do not have


                                       5
<PAGE>

contracts with suppliers of raw materials used in the production of our
products. Historically, we have not experienced difficulties obtaining raw
ingredients for our products on customary terms. We believe that the materials
used in our products are readily available from numerous sources and that the
loss of any of our current suppliers would not adversely affect our operations.
There is no assurance, however, that suppliers will continue to provide the raw
materials needed by us in the quantities required or on favorable terms. Because
we do not control the source of these raw materials, we also are subject to
delays caused by interruptions in production of materials based on conditions
outside our control. Any significant delay in, or disruption of, the supply of
raw materials could have any of the following results:

      If supply shortages were to occur and we were unable to meet the demands
of our customers, even if for only a short time, the result could be a long-term
decrease in the anticipated sales of our products. We cannot assure you that, on
a long-term basis, an adequate supply of ingredients will be available to us on
commercially reasonable terms in order for us to meet the supply obligations to
our customers.

      Finished products are produced by our manufacturers, which maintain
quality control laboratories and testing facilities. Our manufactured products
are packaged by and protected by a tamper-resistant outer safety seal. All of
this is done by our manufacturers according to current GMPGovernment Regulation

Acquisitions and Strategic Initiatives

      During 2004 and 2003, we completed the acquisition of three companies with
complimentary business or products ranging from start-ups to businesses with
revenue up to $2.5 million per year. These acquisitions were intended to shift
our business toward established, higher margin products or to expand into new
product lines. These acquisitions also increased our geographic presence with
locations through various portions of the United States. During 2004, we
discontinued the operations of both MAF BioNutritional, LLC, which was acquired
during 2002, and Christophers's Original Formulas, Inc, which was acquired
during 2003. See Note 9 of the Audited Financial Statements for further
discussion related to discontinued operations. The following information
provides a summary of our acquisitions:

      E-Nutraceuticals, Inc. ("ENI"). On August 20, 2003, we acquired ENI for
net consideration of $41.3 million, consisting of 30.5 million shares of common
stock. ENI had developed safe and effective alternatives to prescription
medications for non-life threatening chronic ailments, such as obesity and
depression. In addition, through a collaborative partnership with SkyePharma,
PLC, or Skye, a UK pharmaceuticals company and a major shareholder of our
company, we acquired certain rights to a licensed FDA-approved, proprietary
delivery systems. Under an amended Development and License Agreement, we
acquired exclusive rights to Skye's drug delivery technology, GEOMATRIX(R), and
marketing and royalty rights to pharmaceutical sales using GEOMATRIX(R) in the
Peoples Republic of China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. ENI did not generate any
material revenue during both 2004 and 2003.

      Doctors For Nutrition, Inc. ("DFN"). On October 14, 2003, we acquired DFN
for consideration of $2.7 million, consisting of 3.1 million shares of common
stock. DFN's product line includes GreensFIRST(R), a highly concentrated
formulation of fruits and vegetables. One serving of the product has the
antioxidant power of over 10 servings of fruits and vegetables. Mixed with
water, GreensFIRST(R) contains certified organic fruits, vegetables, and barley
grass, which are first juiced and then spray-dried at low temperature, leaving
all the important nutrients and live enzymes intact. Benefits of usage include
increased energy, improved digestion, and enhanced immune response. DFN
currently distributes GreensFIRST(R) through more than 2,500 practitioner
offices throughout the United States. DFN generated annualized pro forma
revenues of approximately $3.8 million and $1.6 million during the years ended
December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

      Wellness Watchers Systems, LLC. On August 17, 2004, we consummated a joint
venture with Wellness Watchers International, Inc., or WWI, and together formed
Wellness Watchers Systems, LLC, or WWS. We paid WWI $805,000 for its 50%
interest in WWS. The purchase price consisted of 3.0 million shares of our
common stock along with a $25,000 cash payment. We and WWI originally owned 50%
of WWS. The operating agreement gave us overall operating responsibility. WWS
manufactures a proprietary brand of dietary protein powder called Dream
Protein(R), which is directly marketed to the health practitioners together with
our GreensFIRST(R) product. WWS plans to introduce complementary products that
will be marketed as part of WWS' Healthy Living Program(R). Part of WWI's
contribution to WWS was the exclusive licensing of certain products, client
lists and marketing strategies, which included Dream Protein(R). WWS has
developed a unique marketing strategy that channels products directly to health
practitioners. Prior to forming WWS, WWI had no prior operating history. During
2004, WWS had total revenue of $.4 million During February 2005, we acquired
100% interest in WWS by issuing an additional 1.0 million shares of our stock.
In conjunction with our acquisition of the remainder of WWS and certain other
marketing and operation strategic productivity decisions, during the first
quarter of 2005, we have consolidated the operations of WWS into DFN.


                                       6
<PAGE>

      We plan to continue our acquisition strategy in the future. In particular,
we intend to focus on candidates that have strong relationships with key vendors
or have established complimentary distribution channels or customers. We believe
that a number of factors will facilitate our acquisition strategy, including the
following:

      o     the highly fragmented composition of the nutritional supplement and
            nutraceuticals markets;

      o     our status as a public corporation;

      o     a decentralized management strategy, which facilitates the acquired
            company's management remaining involved in operations should they
            desire to do so; and

      o     the ability of our management to identify acquisition opportunities.

Trademarks and Patents

      We own numerous trademarks registered with the U.S. Patent and Trademark
Office and with agencies in certain other major jurisdictions of the world. Our
trademarks include Vital Living(R), Vital Living - The Physician Nutraceutical
Company(R) (plus a logo), Essentum(R), Essentum For Cardiovascular Health(R)
(plus a logo), GreensFirst(R), Dream Protein(R), and Complete Essentials(R).

      Federally registered trademarks have a perpetual life as long as they are
renewed on a timely basis and used properly as trademarks, subject to the rights
of third parties to seek cancellation of the marks. We believe that our
registered and unregistered trademarks, patents, and other proprietary rights
are valuable assets and that they have significant value in the marketing of our
products. Accordingly, we intend to vigorously protect our intellectual property
against infringement.

Competition

      Our competitors vary by the nature of the distribution channel. In the
healthcare practitioner and regional nutritional distributor channel, we compete
with a number of companies selling whole foods and nutritional supplements,
including Douglas Labs, Integration Therapeutics, Phyto Pharmacia, Metagenics
Standard Process, Allergy Research, and Enzymatic Therapy.

      Many of our competitors are substantially larger than us and have
significantly greater financial, technical, marketing, and other resources. We
compete primarily based on our ability to be first to market, and our
distribution channels through healthcare practitioners who desire to have a
nutritional line of products to supplement their practices.

Governmental Regulation

      The formulation, manufacturing, packaging, labeling, advertising,
distribution, and sale (hereafter, collectively "sale" or "sold") of dietary and
nutritional supplements, such as those sold by us, are subject to regulation by
one or more federal agencies, principally the Food and Drug Administration, or
FDA, the Federal Trade Commission, or FTC, and to a lesser extent the Consumer
Product Safety Commission and United States Department of Agriculture. Our
activities are also regulated by various governmental agencies for the states
and localities in which our products are sold, as well as by governmental
agencies in certain countries outside the United States. Among other matters,
regulation by the FDA and FTC covers product safety and claims made with respect
to a product's ability to provide health-related benefits.

      Federal agencies, primarily the FDA and FTC, have a variety of procedures
and enforcement remedies available to them, including the following:


                                       7
<PAGE>

      o     initiating investigations,

      o     issuing warning letters and cease and desist orders,

      o     requiring corrective labeling or advertising,

      o     requiring consumer redress, such as requiring that a company offer
            to repurchase products previously sold to consumers,

      o     seeking injunctive relief or product seizures,

      o     imposing civil penalties, or

      o     commencing civil action and/or criminal prosecution.

      In addition, certain state agencies have similar authority. These federal
and state agencies have in the past used these remedies in regulating
participants in the dietary supplements industry, including the imposition by
federal agencies of civil penalties in the millions of dollars against industry
participants. We cannot assure you that the regulatory environment in which we
operate will not change or that such regulatory environment, or any specific
action taken against us, will not result in a material adverse effect on our
operations. In addition, increased sales of, and publicity about, dietary
supplements may result in increased regulatory scrutiny of the dietary
supplements industry.

      The Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act, or DSHEA, was enacted in
1994, amending the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFD&CA). We believe the
DSHEA is generally favorable to consumers and to the dietary supplement
industry. DSHEA establishes a statutory class of "dietary supplements," which
includes vitamins, minerals, herbs, amino acids, and other dietary ingredients
for human use to supplement the diet. Dietary ingredients on the market as of
October 15, 1994 do not require the submission by the manufacturer or
distributor to the FDA of evidence of a history of use or other evidence of
safety establishing that the ingredient will reasonably be expected to be safe,
but a dietary ingredient which was not on the market as of October 15, 1994 may
need to be the subject of such a submission to FDA at least 75 days before
marketing. Among other things, the DSHEA prevents the FDA from regulating
dietary ingredients in dietary supplements as "food additives" and allows the
use of statements of nutritional support on product labels. The FDA has issued
proposed and final regulations in this area and indicates that further guidance
and regulations are forthcoming. We cannot assure you that the FDA will accept
the evidence of safety for any new dietary ingredient that we may decide to use
and the FDA's refusal to accept such evidence could result in regulation of such
dietary ingredients as food additives, requiring FDA pre-approval based on newly
conducted, costly safety testing. In addition, while the DSHEA authorizes the
use of statements of nutritional support or "structure/function claims in the
labels and labeling of dietary supplements, the FDA is required to be notified
of such statements. We cannot assure you that the FDA will not consider
particular labeling statements used by us to be drug claims rather than
acceptable statements of nutritional support, thereby necessitating approval of
a costly new drug application, or re-labeling to delete such statements. We do
believe, however, that we substantially comply with the regulations promulgated
under DSHEA with regard to labels and labeling of our dietary supplements.

      In November 1998, the FTC announced new advertising guidelines
specifically for the dietary supplement industry, entitled "Dietary Supplements:
An Advertising Guide for Industry." These guidelines reiterate many of the
policies the FTC has previously announced over the years, including requirements
for substantiation of claims made in advertising about dietary supplements. We
make every effort to ensure we are in compliance with FTC advertising standards.

      The FFD&CA also authorizes the FDA to promulgate good manufacturing
practices (GMP) standards for dietary supplements, which require special quality
controls for the manufacture, packaging, storage, and distribution of
supplements. The final version of FDA's GMP regulation has not been published.
We believe however, that we will be in substantial compliance with the
regulations once they are issued. We contractually require that any independent
third party manufacturers doing business with us comply with all existing, or to
be promulgated, regulations. The FFD&CA further authorizes the FDA to promulgate
regulations governing the labeling of dietary supplements, including claims for
supplements pursuant to recommendations made by the Presidential Commission on
Dietary Supplement Labels. These rules, which were issued on or after September
23, 1997, entail specific requirements relative to the labeling of our dietary
supplements. The rules also require additional record keeping and claim
substantiation, reformulation, or discontinuance of certain products, which
would be a material expense to us.


                                       8

      The sale of our products in countries outside the United States is
regulated by the governments of those countries. We are not currently marketing
our products outside of the United States except in Canada, China, Mexico, and
the United Kingdom. Our plans to commence or and sales in those countries may be
prevented or delayed by such regulation. While compliance with such regulation
will generally be undertaken by international distributors, we may assist with
such compliance and in certain cases may be liable if a distributor fails to
comply.

      We cannot predict the nature of any future laws, regulations,
interpretations, or applications, nor can we determine what effect such
additional regulation, when and if it occurs, would have on our business in the
future. Such additional regulation could require, however, any or all of the
actions listed below, which could have a material adverse effect on our
operations:

      o     the reformulation of certain products to meet new standards,

      o     the recall or discontinuance of certain products,

      o     additional record keeping,

      o     expanded documentation of the properties of certain products,

      o     revised, expanded or different labeling, or

      o     additional scientific substantiation.

Employees

      As of March 16, 2005, we had eight full-time employees. Of these
employees, two were engaged in sales and marketing, one was engaged in
production or operational activities, and five were engaged in finance,
administration, or management functions. None of our employees is subject to any
collective bargaining agreements with us, and we believe our relationship with
our employees is satisfactory. Our future success depends, in part, on our
ability to attract, retain, and motivate highly qualified personnel.

                                  Risk Factors

You should consider carefully the following risk factors and all other
information contained herein in evaluating our company and our business. Our
common stock involves a high degree of risk. If any of the following risks
actually occur, our business, financial condition or operating results will
suffer. Moreover, the price of our common stock could decline and you could lose
all of your investment.

Our significant losses and negative cash flow raise questions about our ability
to continue as a going concern.

      We have only a limited operating history. Our prospects must be considered
in light of the risks, expenses, and difficulties frequently encountered in
establishing a business in the nutraceuticals industry, which is characterized
by a large number of market participants, intense competition, and a high
failure rate. We incurred net losses of approximately $28.6 million and $30.2
million for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. We cannot
assure you that we will be able to achieve or sustain revenue growth,
profitability, or positive cash flow on either a quarterly or annual basis or
that profitability, if achieved, will be sustained. If we are unable to achieve
or sustain profitability, we may not be financially viable in the future and may
have to curtail, suspend, or cease operations. Because of our recurring
operating losses and negative cash flow, the report of our independent auditor
on our financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2004 and
2003 contain an explanatory paragraph stating that the independent auditor has
substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

If we are unable to generate cash from operations, we may need to raise
additional funds in the near future.

      We had working capital deficits of $2.8 million at December 31, 2004.
Historically, we have been dependent on equity or debt financings to fund our
operations and working capital needs. We completed offerings of $4.6 million
aggregate principal in Senior Secured Convertible Notes, which includes the
conversion of $1.6 million in Bridge Note principal and accrued interest, during
the fourth quarter of 2003; an offering of 510,000 shares of our common stock
raising gross proceeds of $510,000 in the first quarter of 2004; an offering of
3.9 million shares of our common stock and 15.6 million warrants, which resulted
in gross proceeds of $975,000 in June and July of 2004; and a special warrant
offering, which began in November 2004 and concluded in January 2005, that
resulting in the issuance of 7.1 million shares of our common stock and issuance
of 6.4 million new warrants that generated $717,000 in gross proceeds. Our
average net cash expenditures (cash generated from continuing operations less
expenses paid) during 2004 was approximately $260,000 per month and we expect to
reduce our net cash expenditures to approximately $110,000 per month in the
first quarter of 2005. However, net cash expenditures may vary greatly on a
monthly basis and this average is not necessarily indicative of future amounts.
We may need to raise additional capital in the very near future to fund our
operations and are currently examining various sources of additional financings.
However, because our Senior Secured Convertible Notes are secured by
substantially all of our assets, we may have difficulty securing additional debt
financing on terms favorable to us or at all. Any equity financing that we
obtain may be highly dilutive to existing stockholders. Our inability to
generate cash flow from operations or to find sources of funding would have an
adverse impact on our ability to maintain our operations.

We have substantial indebtedness and interest obligations that we must satisfy
when due.

      We have substantial indebtedness and interest obligations that we must
satisfy in accordance with their terms. In connection with the MAF acquisition
completed during 2002, we have a potential of approximately $401,000 of debt,
which is included in our current liabilities. During the third quarter of 2004,
we entered into an agreement to sell all property, rights, and assets related to
our Boulder Bar product line. The purchaser agreed to assume the debt. However,
the purchaser has not complied with the terms of the agreement, and we are
currently seeking legal remedies. In addition, we have outstanding $4.2 million
aggregate principal amount of Senior Secured Convertible Notes, which are
secured by substantially all of our assets. In October 2004, we obtained
majority consent of the holders of the notes to pay the 12% annual interest
requirement in either cash or shares of our common stock. We cannot assure you
that our operations will generate funds sufficient to repay these debt
obligations as they come due. Our failure to repay any of our indebtedness and
make required interest payments as required by these debt obligations could
result in an event of default. In this event, the holders of our debt could
force us to sell our assets in order to repay obligations owing to them.

We may record future losses because continuing adverse market conditions may
require us to record an impairment of goodwill and other intangibles.

      We had approximately $3.2 million of goodwill as of December 31, 2004 and
approximately $20.8 million of net intangible assets at December 31, 2004
cumulatively accounting for approximately 92% of our total assets at December
31, 2004. We adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142,
"Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," and are required to analyze our goodwill
and other intangible assets for impairment issues on an annual basis or when
events occur that would indicate that an intangible asset impairment had
occurred. The value of our goodwill and other intangible assets is exposed to
future adverse changes if we experience declines in operating results or
experience significant negative industry or economic trends or if future
performance is below historical trends. We periodically review goodwill and
intangible assets for impairment using the guidance of applicable accounting
literature. We are subject to financial statement risk to the extent that the
goodwill and other intangible assets become impaired, and any impairment losses
related to goodwill and other intangible assets may result in a non-cash charge
to earnings.

We may lose our exclusive licensing rights to the GEOMATRIX technology if
SkyePharma terminates the Development and License Agreement which we are a party
to.

      We are party to a Development and License Agreement with SkyePharma PLC
under which we have certain exclusive licensing rights to the GEOMATRIX
technology. We are in dispute with SkyePharma over the terms of the agreement
and have failed to make payments, which total $750,000 called for under the
agreement. On April 6, 2004, we received a demand letter from SkyePharma related
to the past due payments under the agreement, which triggered a 30-day
negotiation period under the agreement. This 30-day period is required before
initiating formal collection proceedings. We are currently in discussions to
modify both the terms and payment schedules under the agreement. We cannot
assure you that these negotiations will be successful and that we will reach a
satisfactory resolution of this matter. In the event a satisfactory resolution
cannot be reached and SkyePharma exercises its rights of termination under the
agreement, we may lose substantial and possibly all rights gained under this and
related contracts with SkyePharma.

Any acquisitions that we undertake could be difficult to integrate, disrupt our
business, dilute stockholder value, and harm our operating results.

      We plan to continue to review opportunities to buy other businesses that
would expand our product offerings, enhance our product distribution, expand the
geographical breadth of our markets, or otherwise offer other growth
opportunities. In the past two years, we have acquired three businesses, and we
may acquire additional businesses in the future. If we make any future
acquisitions, we may issue stock that would dilute existing stockholders'
percentage ownership, incur substantial debt, or assume contingent liabilities.
Our recent acquisitions, as well as potential future potential acquisitions,
involve numerous risks, including the following:

      o     problems integrating the purchased products, operations, personnel,
            distribution channels, and systems with our own;

      o     unanticipated costs or undisclosed liabilities associated with the
            acquisition;

      o     diversion of management's attention from our existing businesses;

      o     potential compliance issues with regard to acquired companies that
            did not have adequate internal controls;

      o     adverse effects on existing business relationships with suppliers
            distributors, and customers;

      o     risks associated with entering markets in which we have no or
            limited prior experience; and

      o     potential loss of key employees and customers of purchased
            organizations.

For example, certain of our acquired companies have continued to incur losses
from operations or have required significant cost outlays and caused increases
in our selling, general, and administrative expenses.

      Our acquisition strategy entails reviewing and potentially reorganizing
acquired business operations, corporate infrastructure and systems, and
financial controls. Unforeseen expenses, difficulties, and delays frequently
encountered in connection with expansion through acquisitions could inhibit our
growth and negatively impact our profitability. We may be unable to identify
suitable acquisition candidates or to complete the acquisitions of candidates
that we identify. Increased competition for acquisition candidates may increase
purchase prices for acquisitions to levels beyond our financial capability or to
levels that would not result in the returns required by our acquisition
criteria. In addition, we may encounter difficulties in integrating the
operations of acquired businesses with our own operations or managing acquired
businesses profitably without substantial costs, delays, or other operational or
financial problems.

      We may issue common or preferred stock and incur substantial indebtedness
in making future acquisitions. The size, timing, and integration of any future
acquisitions may cause substantial fluctuations in operating results from
quarter to quarter. Consequently, operating results for any quarter may not be
indicative of the results that may be achieved for any subsequent quarter or for
a full fiscal year. These fluctuations could adversely affect the market price
of our common stock.


                                       11
<PAGE>

      Our ability to grow through acquisitions will depend upon various factors,
including the following:

      o     the availability of suitable acquisition candidates at attractive
            purchase prices,

      o     the ability to compete effectively for available acquisition
            opportunities, and

      o     the availability of funds or common stock with a sufficient market
            price to complete the acquisitions.

      As a part of our acquisition strategy, we frequently engage in discussions
with various companies regarding their potential acquisition by us. In
connection with these discussions, we and each potential acquisition candidate
exchange confidential operational and financial information, conduct due
diligence inquiries, and consider the structure, terms, and conditions of the
potential acquisition. In certain cases, the prospective acquisition candidate
agrees not to discuss a potential acquisition with any other party for a
specific period of time, grants us an option to purchase the prospective
business for a designated price during a specific time, and agrees to take other
actions designed to enhance the possibility of the acquisition, such as
preparing audited financial information. Potential acquisition discussions
frequently take place over a long period of time and involve difficult business
integration and other issues, including in some cases, management succession and
related matters. As a result of these and other factors, a number of potential
acquisitions that from time to time appear likely to occur do not result in
binding legal agreements and are not consummated.

We rely on others for our production, and any interruptions of these
arrangements could disrupt our ability to fill our customers' orders.

      We outsource through contract manufacturers for all of our production
requirements. Competitors that manufacture their own products may have an
advantage over us with respect to pricing, availability of products, and other
areas through their control of the manufacturing processes. Any increase in
labor, equipment, or other manufacturing costs could adversely affect our cost
of sales. Qualifying new manufacturers is time-consuming and might result in
unforeseen manufacturing and operations problems. The loss of our relationships
with our manufacturers or their inability to conduct their manufacturing
services for us as anticipated in terms of cost, quality, and timeliness could
adversely affect our ability to fill customer orders in accordance with required
delivery, quality, and performance requirements. If this were to occur, the
resulting decline in revenue would harm our business.

We depend on third parties to maintain satisfactory manufacturing and delivery
schedules, and their inability to do so could increase our costs, disrupt our
supply chain, and result in our inability to deliver our products, which would
adversely affect our results of operations.

      We depend on our manufacturers to maintain high levels of productivity and
satisfactory delivery schedules. Although we a have long-term contract with one
of our manufacturers that does not guarantee adequate production capacity,
prices, lead times, or delivery schedules. Our manufacturers serve many other
customers, a number of which have greater production requirements than we do. As
a result, our manufacturers could determine to prioritize production capacity
for other customers or reduce or eliminate deliveries to us on short notice. At
times, we have experienced lower than anticipated manufacturing turnarounds and
lengthening of delivery schedules. We may encounter manufacturing delays and
longer delivery schedules in commencing volume production of our new products.
Any of these problems could result in our inability to deliver our products in a
timely manner and adversely affect our operating results. We depend to a great
extent on our manufacturers for the safety, purity, and potency of our products.

We depend on a limited number of wholesale distributors to sell a significant
portion of our products.

      We currently market our products on a wholesale basis through our
distributors operating in the United States. We depend on these distributors to
sell our products to retailers throughout the United States. If a significant
distributor discontinues selling our products, performs poorly, does not pay for
purchased products, reorganizes, or liquidates and is unable to continue selling
our products, our business, financial condition, and operating results could be
adversely affected. Our failure or inability to replace poorly performing
distributors could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Any material increase in the cost of the raw materials used to manufacture our
products could have a material adverse effect on our cost of sales.

      We do not have contracts with all of our suppliers of the raw materials
used in the production of our products. Historically, we have not experienced
any difficulties obtaining the raw ingredients for our products on customary
terms. We are, however, subject to variations in the prices of the raw materials
used in the manufacture of our products. We may not be able to pass along any
cost increases to our customers. As a result, any material increase in the cost
of raw materials used in the manufacture of our products could have a material
adverse effect on our cost of sales.

If we are unable to compete effectively with existing or new competitors, our
existing business will decline and our anticipated business plan will not be
successfully implemented.

      We believe the market for nutritional supplements and nutraceuticals
products is continually evolving and is highly dependent upon changes in the
demographic and social trends. We compete with numerous competitors, many of
which have significantly greater financial, technical, marketing, and other
resources than we do. In making decisions regarding the development of new
products and the enhancement and extension of our current products, we encounter
competition in attempting to anticipate the needs and preferences of healthcare
practitioners, consumers, and nutritionists. Consumer preferences, particularly
in the nutritional supplements and nutraceuticals market, are continuously
changing and are difficult to predict. We believe we can compete effectively by
reacting quickly to expected and perceived customer requirements and desires by
maintaining relationships with our existing strategic partners, and identifying
and reaching agreements with new partners. However, we cannot assure you that
our assessment of the market place is correct, or that our products will be
accepted now or in the future.

Our failure to comply with current or future governmental regulations could
adversely affect our business.

      The formulation, manufacturing, packaging, labeling, advertising,
distribution, and sale of dietary supplements, such as those sold by us, are
subject to regulation by a number of federal, state and local agencies,
principally, the FDA, and the FTC, as well as foreign agencies in areas where we
may operate. Among other matters, this regulation is concerned with product
safety and claims made with respect to a product's ability to provide
health-related benefits. These agencies have a variety of procedures and
enforcement remedies available to them, including the following:

      o     initiating investigations;

      o     issuing warning letters and cease and desist orders;

      o     requiring corrective labeling or advertising;

      o     requiring consumer redress, such as requiring that a company offer
            to repurchase products previously sold to consumers;

      o     seeking injunctive relief or product seizures; and

      o     imposing civil penalties or commencing criminal prosecution.

      Federal and state agencies have in the past used these remedies in
regulating participants in the dietary supplements industry, including the
imposition by federal agencies of civil penalties in the millions of dollars
against a few industry participants. In addition, publicity related to dietary
supplements may result in increased regulatory scrutiny of the nutritional
supplements industry.

      Our failure to comply with applicable laws could subject us to severe
legal sanctions, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and
results of operations. We cannot assure you that the regulatory environment in
which we operate will not change or that such regulatory environment, or any
specific action taken against us, will not result in a material adverse effect
on our business and operations. We cannot assure you that a state will not
interpret claims presumptively valid under federal law as illegal under that
state's regulations, or that future FDA regulations or FTC decisions will not
restrict the permissible scope of such claims. Additionally, we cannot assure
you that such proceedings or investigations or any future proceedings or
investigations will not have a material adverse effect on our business or
operations.


                                       13

If we are deemed to be subject to the federal Medicare Anti-Kickback statutes or
similar state statutes, it could have a material adverse effect on our business
and operations.

      The healthcare industry is subject to extensive federal and state
regulation relating to licensure, conduct of operations, ownership of
facilities, addition of facilities and services, and payment for services. As
Essentum(R) is not subject to Medicare or Medicaid reimbursement, we do not
believe that our activities are subject to regulation under the federal
Anti-Kickback statutes. The Anti-Kickback statutes generally prohibit persons
from knowingly and willfully soliciting, receiving, offering or providing
remuneration, directly or indirectly, to induce either the referral of an
individual, or the furnishing, recommending, or arranging for a good or service,
for which payment may be made under a federal healthcare program such as the
Medicare and Medicaid programs. However, the statute was drafted broadly and it
has resulted in many arrangements and practices that are lawful in businesses
outside of the healthcare industry to be deemed unlawful. As a result, there has
been a lack of uniform interpretation of the Anti-Kickback statutes, which make
compliance even more difficult. The penalties for violating these statutes can
be severe and include criminal penalties and civil sanctions, fines,
imprisonment and possible exclusion from the Medicare and Medicaid programs.
Many states have adopted laws similar to the federal Anti-Kickback statutes.
Some of these state prohibitions apply to referral of patients for healthcare
services reimbursed by any source, not only the Medicare and Medicaid programs.
Although we believe that we comply with both federal and state anti-kickback
laws, any finding of a violation of these laws could subject us to criminal and
civil penalties or possible exclusion from federal or state healthcare programs.
Such penalties would adversely affect our financial performance and our ability
to operate our business.

Our insurance may be inadequate to cover us against product liability claims
that may be brought against us.

      We maintain liability insurance with policy limits generally of $1.0
million per occurrence and $2.0 million in the aggregate. Our insurance coverage
includes property, casualty, comprehensive general liability, and products
liability insurance. We believe that our insurance coverage is adequate. The
testing, marketing, and sale of health care products, however, entail an
inherent risk of product liability. We cannot assure you that product liability
claims relating to dietary supplement products will not be asserted against us,
our licensees, or third parties with whom we operate. Many claims related to
dietary supplements have already been brought against businesses in our
industry. Further, we cannot assure you that such insurance will provide
adequate coverage against any potential claims. A product liability claim or
product recall could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition, or results of operations.

      We depend on key employees and the loss of either of their services could
harm our business.


                                       14

      We are heavily dependent upon Stuart A. Benson, our President and Chief
Executive Officer, and Gregg Linn, our Chief Financial Officer. We have entered
into employment agreements with both Mr. Benson and Mr. Linn that provide for
them to be employed by us through December 2007. The agreements, however, cannot
assure us of their continued service. The loss of either Mr. Benson or Mr. Linn
could have a material adverse effect on us. Under the terms of Mr. Benson's
employment agreement, we are permitted to apply to obtain, and have made
application with respect thereto, for a "key-man" insurance policy for Mr.
Benson in the amount of $500,000. We will be the beneficiary of this policy when
and if the insurance is obtained.

Our existing stockholders will experience dilution if we issue additional
securities.

      As of March 17, 2005, we had 101,068,713 outstanding shares of common
stock, 1,500,000 shares of preferred stock currently convertible into 1,500,000
shares of common stock, options to purchase 5,471,390 shares of common stock,
which are subject to stockholder approval, warrants to purchase 30,459,713
shares of common stock, and Senior Secured Convertible Notes convertible into
17,860,192 shares of common stock. If we issue additional shares, or if our
existing stockholders exercise or convert their outstanding options, warrants,
or notes, our other stockholders may find their holdings drastically diluted,
which if it occurs, means that they will own a smaller percentage of our
company. Further, any issuance of additional securities to various persons or
entities in lieu of cash payments will lead to further dilution. If all
convertible instruments were converted and all outstanding warrants and options
were exercised, we would have 153,747,341 shares of common stock outstanding.

We are party to a voting agreement pursuant to which certain officers, directors
and stockholders can elect a majority of our Board of Directors.

      We are party to a voting agreement with Stuart A. Benson, our President
and Chief Executive Officer, Donald C. Hannah, chairman of our Board of
Directors, and SkyePharma, PLC and Fifth Avenue Capital, Inc., both significant
stockholders. As a result of voting together under the terms of the agreement,
the parties have the ability to elect a majority of our Board of Directors and
to approve most, if not all, of any corporate actions requiring shareholder
approval without the vote of any other shareholders.

The market price of our common stock is highly volatile and subject to wide
fluctuations as a result of many factors.

      Our common stock has been traded on the OTC Bulletin Board since March 28,
2002. The market price of our common stock has been highly volatile and may
continue to be volatile in the future. Many factors could affect the trading
price of our common stock, including the following:

      o     the low price, thin trading volume, and relatively small public
            float of our common stock;

      o     variations in our quarterly operating results;

      o     introduction of new products and customer acceptance of products;

      o     general trends in the nutritional supplement and nutraceuticals
            markets;

      o     the number of holders of our common stock; and

      o     the interest of securities dealers in maintaining a market for our
            common stock.

      As long as there is only a limited public market for our common stock, the
sale of a significant number of shares of our common stock at any particular
time could be difficult to achieve at the market prices prevailing immediately
before such shares are offered and could cause a severe decline in the price of
our common stock.

Because our common stock is subject to the SEC's penny stock rules,
broker-dealers may experience difficulty in completing customer transactions and
trading activity in our securities may be adversely affected.

      Because we currently have less than $5,000,000 of net tangible assets and
the market price of our common stock is less than $5.00 per share, transactions
in our common stock are subject to the "penny stock" rules promulgated under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These rules require broker-dealers that
recommend our securities to persons other than institutional accredited
investors to do each of the following:

      o     make a special written suitability determination for the purchaser;

      o     receive the purchaser's written agreement to a transaction prior to
            sale;

      o     provide the purchaser with risk disclosure documents which identify
            certain risks associated with investing in "penny stocks" and which
            describe the market for these "penny stocks" as well as a
            purchaser's legal remedies; and

      o     obtain a signed and dated acknowledgment from the purchaser
            demonstrating that the purchaser has actually received the required
            risk disclosure document before a transaction in a "penny stock" can
            be completed.

      As a result, broker-dealers may find it difficult to effectuate customer
transactions and trading activity in our securities may be adversely affected.
Therefore, the market price of our securities may be depressed, and you may find
it more difficult to sell our securities.

We have never paid any cash dividends on our common stock.

      We have never paid any cash dividends on our common stock, and we do not
expect to pay cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. In
addition, the terms of our outstanding preferred stock and Senior Secured
Convertible Notes restrict our ability to pay cash dividends.

Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation

Overview

      We develop and market fruit and vegetable supplements, protein supplements
and nutraceutical products which are marketed for distribution through
physicians, medical groups, chiropractic offices, and retail outlets.
Additionally, through a licensing agreement, we have certain rights for a
pharmaceutical delivery systems (our GEOMATRIX technology). Nutraceuticals are
products that are isolated or purified from foods and generally sold in
medicinal forms not usually associated with foods, including tablets, capsules,
or drops. These nutraceuticals may have physiological benefits or have the
ability to reduce the risk of chronic disease beyond basic nutritional products.
We develop and test our nutraceuticals in collaboration with leading medical
experts in the nutraceuticals field. We have designed them to be incorporated by
healthcare practitioners into a standard patient system where healthcare
practitioners recommend and sell our whole food and nutraceuticals products to
their patients. Our focus has been with our Greensfirst(R), Dream Protein(R) and
Complete Essentials(R) products. Additionally, we have targeted cardiovascular
health.

      Our business strategy is to capitalize on the growing complimentary and
alternative medicine market by creating condition-specific formulations that
offer a broad range of benefits. Our products focus on general health by
utilizing nutraceuticals and whole foods as a means to gain the healthcare
practitioner confidence and support. We plan to focus on certain target
conditions, providing the market with high quality, relevant products through
our healthcare practitioner distribution channels.

Year Ended December 31, 2004 Compared With Year Ended December 31, 2003

      Revenue

      Total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2004 was $4.2 million
compared with $498,000 for the year ended December 31, 2003, an increase of $3.7
million. This increase was primarily attributable to the growth in our
Greensfirst(R) product line, which was acquired as part of the DFN acquisitions
in the fourth quarter of 2003

      Cost of Goods Sold and Gross Profit

      Cost of goods sold for the year ended December 31, 2004 was $2.8 million
compared with $237,000 for the year ended December 31, 2003, an increase of $2.6
million. This increase reflected the increase in revenues in our DFN subsidiary
along with a $728,000 inventory reserve for our X-Fat(R) inventory. The gross
profit percentage for the year ended December 31, 2004 was 50%, excluding the
X-Fat(R) inventory reserve compared with 52% for the year ended December 31,
2003. The small decline in the gross margin reflects the change in our marketing
strategy in 2004 where a greater portion of our products are sold to
distributors at wholesale pricing as compared with 2003, where a greater portion
were sold directly to healthcare practitioners.

Administrative Expenses

      Salary and Benefit Costs

      Salary and benefit costs for the year ended December 31, 2004 was $992,000
      compared with $11.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2003, a
      decrease of $10.5 million. The decrease was substantially due to a
      non-cash repricing adjustments required in accordance with FIN No. 44(1)
      related to warrants issued to one of our officers during 2003.

      (1)   In accordance with Financial Interpretation No. ("FIN") 44,
            "Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation,"
            a non-cash charge to compensation expense is required if the price
            of our common stock on the last trading day of a reporting period is
            greater than the exercise price of certain stock options and
            warrants issued to officers or employees. The requirements of FIN 44
            may also result in a credit to compensation expense to the extent
            that the trading price declines from the trading price as of the end
            of previous reporting period, except that a credit is not recorded
            to the extent our common stock trades below the exercise price of
            the options or warrants. In accordance with FIN 44, we adjust
            compensation expense upward or downward on a monthly basis based on
            the trading price at the end of each period.

      Professional and consulting fees

      Professional and consulting fees were $1.7 million during the year ended
December 31, 2004 compared with $3.2 million for the year ended December 31,
2003, a decrease of $1.5 million. This decrease was primarily comprised of
repricing adjustments in accordance with FIN 44 related to options previously
issued in our agreement with the Arizona Heart Institute, our distribution
partner for Essentum(R), and amortization of common stock, options or warrants
issued under various consulting or other service contracts, as most of these
contracts during 2003.

      Selling, general, and administrative expenses

      Selling, general, and administrative expenses for the year ended December
31, 2004 was $1.9 million compared with $1.3 million for the year ended December
31, 2003, an increase of $663,000. The increase related primarily to additional
expenditures during 2004 in our DFN subsidiary.

      Research and development costs

      Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and totaled $1.2
million for the year ended December 31, 2004 compared with $411,000 for the year
ended December 31, 2003, an increase of $769,000. This increase was primarily
related to outstanding obligations in 2004 to Skye related to the development of
our rights in the Geomatrix(R) technology.

      Depreciation and amortization expenses

      Depreciation and amortization expense for the year ended December 31, 2004
was $4.6 million compared with $1.8 million for the year ended December 31,
2003, an increase of $2.8 million. The increase was primarily attributable to
amortization of intangibles acquired or recorded as part of acquisitions, as
well as increased depreciation related to acquired tangible assets..

Impairment of Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets:

      Goodwill and other intangibles created by our acquisitions are tested for
impairment at least annually, or upon occurrence of such events that may
indicate impairment exists, in accordance with SFAS No. 142. As a result of
lower than expected operating results net cash flows, we revised our
expectations and, as a result, recorded a goodwill impairment loss of $15.0
million and $6.8 million during 2004 and 2003, respectively. The change in fair
value of each component of goodwill and other intangibles were estimated using
certain operational results and assumptions, as described below.

      MAF. The gross value of goodwill related to the MAF acquisition was $5.0
million. On September 30, 2004, we entered into an agreement to sell all
property, rights, and assets related to our Boulder Bar product line. The
purchaser agreed to assume the debt of approximately $400,000. However, the
purchaser has not complied with the terms of the agreement, and we are currently
seeking legal remedies. As a result of this transaction and MAF's inability to
generate positive cash flow from operations, we have discontinued its operations
and recorded impairment charges of $104,000 and $38,000 related to intangible
assets and other MAF assets deemed to be of no remaining value, respectively.
During 2003, we determined that as a result of marketplace competition and
various other factors, a portion of the goodwill related to the MAF Acquisition
was impaired and accordingly, we recorded a $4.4 million impairment charge to
goodwill.

      NSI. The gross value of goodwill related to the COF acquisition was $3.9
million. In order to resolve certain disputes between a former employee of the
COF subsidiary, on July 9, 2004, we settled all matters via an execution of a
Settlement and Release Agreement calling for the settlement of all claims and
the sale of certain assets and liabilities back to the previous owners of COF.
As part of the agreement, we agreed to pay the previous owners of COF $150,000
in six equal monthly installments beginning July 2004 in exchange for the return
of 2,600,000 shares of our common stock originally paid as part of the
acquisition price. In addition, we will assign certain assets and the previous
owners and COF will assume certain liabilities of NSI as of the effective date,
the previous owners of COF will sublease our leased facilities located in
Spanish Fork, Utah for a period of one year


                                       19
<PAGE>

from the effective date, and executive employment agreements with two former
employees, which was executed as part of the COF acquisition, become null and
void. Should either party fail to perform its obligations under the agreement,
certain rights and options exist allowing the parties to terminate the
agreement. During 2004, we paid $50,000 of $150,000 required payments under the
Agreement. The remaining $100,000 balance was paid directly to the Internal
Revenue Service as a result of being served with a final demand notice from the
IRS related to obligations from the previous owners of COF. These amounts were
the obligation of the previous owners of COF, which was ratified in the
agreement. However, in order to avoid any further claims related to this matter,
in November 2004, we entered into a settlement agreement with the IRS related to
this matter and paid the remaining $100,000 obligation under the agreement
directly to the IRS. The IRS has agreed not pursue us related to this matter.

      As of December 31, 2004, we had not received the 2.6 million shares of
common stock back from the previous owners of COF. Accordingly, we are currently
seeking specific remedies.

      During the period ended December 31, 2003, we experienced an operating
loss of approximately $533,000, prior to depreciation, amortization, and
interest charges, and the business was not able to generate positive cash flow
from operations to date. As a result, we determined the goodwill recorded
because of the COF acquisition was impaired by $2.4 million, which has been
recorded as goodwill impairment expense during 2003.

      DFN. The gross value of goodwill related to the DFN Acquisition was
$2,113,000. During 2004, we generated operating income of approximately
$751,000, before depreciation, amortization, and interest charges. We expect
increasing net cash flows from operations, as we increase the national
distribution of GreensFIRST(R) along with our Dream Protein(R) and Complete
Essentials(R) product lines by cross-selling into distribution channels
currently and expanding sales of GreensFIRST(R) into net markets. We also
anticipate launching additional products currently under development. Based on
our analysis, we do not believe the goodwill amount at December 31, 2004 is
impaired and have not recorded an adjustment to the carrying value.

      WWS. The gross value of goodwill related to the WWS acquisition was
$805,000. WWS was acquired in the second quarter of 2004 and, to date, has been
well received by our existing distribution channels and has played a major role
in increasing the number of health practitioners to which we market our
products. Accordingly, we do not believe the goodwill amount at December 31,
2004 is impaired and have not received an adjustment to the carrying value.

      ENI. Our primary intangibles, outside of goodwill discussed above, were
obtained in the ENI acquisition and consist of several licensing and marketing
agreements. The GEOMATRIX(R) system, with an associated gross intangible value
of $20.8 million at December 31, 2004, is our licensed technology. We are in
dispute with SkyePharma over the terms of the Development and Licensing
Agreement and failed to make payments of $750,000 called for under the licensing
agreement during 2004. On April 6, 2004, we received a demand letter from
SkyePharma related to the past due payments under the Development and License
Agreement, which triggered the 30-day negotiation period under the agreement.
This 30-day period is required before initiating formal collection proceedings.
We are currently in discussions to modify both the terms and payment schedules
under the licensing agreement. Although we believe we will reach a settlement of
the terms and conditions of the agreement with SkyePharma, we cannot assure you
that these negotiations will be successful and that we will reach a satisfactory
resolution of this matter. In the event a satisfactory resolution can not be
reached and SkyePharma exercises their rights of termination under the
agreement, we may lose substantial and possibly all rights gained under this and
related contracts with SkyePharma. Accordingly, amounts recorded as intangible
assets associated with this agreement, which represent substantially all of our
intangible assets, would be impaired. During 2004, certain events occurred that
caused us to modify the business model underlying the original valuation of
these intangibles, including the anticipated timing of future cash flows and the
sources from which revenue will be derived. As a result, we determined that the
net book value of the intangible assets associated with the GEOMATRIX(R) license
and marketing agreements was impaired by $9,545,000 and $1,727,000,
respectively; therefore, $11,272,000 was recorded as impairment expense during
2004.

      X-Fat(R), with a related gross intangible value of $4,093,000 at December
31, 2003, is our licensed dietary supplement aimed at weight loss and was
launched in test markets throughout the United States in early March 2004.
During 2004, certain events occurred that caused us to modify the business model
underlying the original valuation of this intangible, including the anticipated
timing of future cash flows and the sources from which revenue will be derived.
As a result, we determined that the net book value of the intangible assets
associated with X-Fat(R) license agreements was impaired by $3.7 million and was
recorded as impairment expense during 2004.

      Other Income (Expense):

      Interest Expense for the year ended December 31, 2004 was $2.0 million
compared with $2.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2003, a decrease of
$541,000. The decrease relates primarily to the expensing debt issuance cost of
$542,000 in 2003 that did not occur in 2004

      Net loss from continuing operations

      Our net loss for the years ended December 31, 2004 was $24.0 million
compared with $24.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2003, a decrease of
$704,000. Of these losses, approximately $19.5 million and $8.6 million during
2004 and 2003, respectively, related to non-cash charges described herein and as
follows and included only those items that would not have been required to be
settled in cash or other assets by their original terms.

      Liquidity and Capital Resources

      At December 31, 2004, we had $466,000 in cash, primarily as a result of
our warrant offering that began in November 2004 and concluded in December 2004,
which resulted in approximately $700,000 in gross proceeds.

      Cash flows used in operating activities of approximately $3,400,000 and
$4,737,000 in 2004 and 2003, respectively, have decreased over prior year as a
result of our decision during 2004 to both discontinue the operations of MAF and
COF and the consolidation of our entire operations in Phoenix. We anticipate
that during 2005 the effects of the consolidation in Phoenix as well as certain
expense containment and efficiency initiatives that began in 2004 and continued
into 2005 along with continued growth in our core revenues will result in
improved cash flow from operations. Cash flows from financing activities was
$2,048,000 and $5,689,000 in 2004 and 2003, respectively, reflecting the
financings (as outlined below), partially offset by servicing of indebtedness.

      To date, we have funded our operations and acquisition activity primarily
from cash generated from private placements and with funds from borrowings under
various debt instruments, as summarized in the table below, generating an
aggregate in net cash proceeds of $7.9 million during 2004 and 2003.

      The following summarizes private placement offerings completed during 2004
and 2003:

      In addition to the above offerings, during the fourth quarter of 2003, we
used short-term notes payable to various shareholders and related parties,
borrowing an aggregate principal amount of $396,672. The notes generally matured
in 60 days and bore interest at stated rates ranging between 10% and 28%, with
12 months of interest earned and payable immediately. The notes, including
interest earned of $58,672, were paid in full prior to December 31, 2003.

Going concern

      The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared
assuming we will continue on a going concern basis, which contemplates the
realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course
of business. We have suffered recurring losses from operations, have a working
capital deficit, and are dependent on funding from sources other than
operations. Since inception, we have been required to raise additional capital
by the issuance of both equity and debt instruments. There are no commitments
from prior funding sources should cash flows be insufficient to fund ongoing
operations and other cash commitments as they come due. These factors raise
substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We will be
required to raise additional capital in the near term through offerings of
securities to fund operations and will attempt to continue raising capital
resources if we do not begin to generate revenue sufficient to maintain our
company as a viable entity. No assurance can be given that such financing will
be available or, if available, that it will be on commercially favorable terms.
Moreover, available financing may be dilutive to current investors.

      We are in the process of improving, acquiring, or developing products for
sale that would generate revenue to sustain our operations, as well as
consolidating our operations in order to gain cost synergies and efficiencies.
If successful, these actions will serve to mitigate the factors that have raised
doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern and increase the
availability of resources for funding of our current operations and future
market development. In addition, in March and April 2004, we entered into
purchase agreements with investors and sold 510,000 shares of common stock at
$1.00 per share with rights to receive a portion of net revenues, as defined
therein, from the sale of X-Fat(R). The consolidated financial statements do not
include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of
recorded assets or liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to
continue as a going concern.

Critical Accounting Policies

Acquisitions

      We account for acquisitions in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards, ("SFAS") No. 141 "Business Combinations" and accordingly
apply the purchase method of accounting for all business combinations initiated
after June 30, 2001 and separately identify recognized intangible assets that
meet the criteria and amortizes these assets over their determinable useful
lives.


                                       22
<PAGE>

Goodwill

      Goodwill represents the excess of the aggregate price paid by us over the
value of the net equity acquired in an acquisition. In accordance with SFAS No.
142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," we are no longer required to
amortize goodwill, but are required to review goodwill for impairment at least
annually whenever events indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not
be recoverable in accordance with SFAS No. 144 "Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." As of December 31, 2004, events had occurred
that would indicate goodwill had been impaired and, accordingly, an impairment
loss was recorded.

Intangible assets

      Our other intangible assets include trademarks, patents, formulations,
customer lists, and various marketing and license agreements. Intangible assets
are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lesser of the correlating
agreements or estimated useful lives ranging from two to 14 years.

Impairment of Long-lived assets

      Long-lived assets and identifiable other intangible assets to be held and
used are reviewed for impairment at least annually whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Goodwill
and other intangible assets arising from various acquisitions are evaluated for
impairment on at least an annual basis or when events occur that would indicate
that impairment had occurred. Impairment is measured by comparing the carrying
value of the long-lived asset to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows
expected to result from use of the assets and their eventual disposition.

      Assumptions used include estimates of (1) market share penetration, (2)
timing of product rollouts for new products, (3) licensing royalty percentages,
(4) manufacturing costs, (5) selling prices, (6) volumes sold and (7) discount
rates. Any changes in assumptions applied in the cash flow model used to
evaluate goodwill and other intangibles for impairment may effect the outcome of
the analysis. Unfavorable changes in assumptions may result in further
impairments of goodwill and other intangibles.

      As of December 31, 2004, events had occurred that would indicate goodwill
had been impaired; accordingly, an impairment loss was recorded.

Stock based compensation

      We account for our stock option plans in accordance with the provisions of
SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation," as amended by SFAS No.
148 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure." SFAS
No. 123 permits entities to recognize as expense over the vesting period the
fair value of all stock-based awards on the date of grant. Alternatively, SFAS
No. 123 also allows entities to apply the provisions of Accounting Principles
Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and
related interpretations and provide pro forma net income or loss and pro forma
earnings per share disclosures for employee stock option grants as if the
fair-value-based method defined in SFAS No. 123 had been applied.

      We are subject to reporting requirements of FASB Financial Interpretation
No. ("FIN") 44, "Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock
Compensation," which requires a non-cash charge to deferred compensation expense
if the price of our common stock on the last trading day of each reporting
period is greater than the exercise price of certain stock options. After the
first such adjustment is made, each subsequent period is adjusted upward or
downward to the extent that the trading price exceeds the exercise price of the
options.

      We account for our stock option plans under the recognition and
measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock issued to Employees," and related Interpretations. No
stock-based employee compensation (except that related to repriced warrants in
accordance with FIN No. 44) is reflected in net loss, as all options and
warrants granted had an exercise price equal to or below the market value of the
underlying common stock at the date of grant.

Recent accounting pronouncements

      In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain
Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity." SFAS No. 150
clarifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics
of both liabilities and equity and requires that those instruments be classified
as liabilities in statements of financial position. Previously, many of those
financial instruments were classified as equity. SFAS No. 150 is effective for
financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 and otherwise
is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after
September 15, 2003. The adoption of SFAS No. 150 did not have a material effect
on our company.

      In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, "Amendment of Statement No.
133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 149 amends and
clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments,
including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts
(collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging activities under SFAS
No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." This
statement is effective for contracts entered into or modified after September
30, 2003. The adoption of SFAS No. 149 did not have a material effect on our
Company.

      In January 2003, the FASB issued FIN 46, "Consolidation of Variable
Interest Entities." In general, a variable interest entity is a corporation,
partnership, trust, or any other legal entity used for business purposes that
either (a) does not have equity investors with voting rights or (b) has equity
investors that do not provide sufficient financial resources for the entity to
support its activities. FIN 46 requires certain variable interest entities to be
consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if the investors in the
entity do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do
not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities
without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. The
consolidation requirements of FIN 46 apply immediately to variable interest
entities created after January 31, 2003. The consolidation requirements apply to
older entities in the first fiscal year or interim period beginning after
September 15, 2003. Certain of the disclosure requirements apply to all
financial statements issued after January 31, 2003, regardless of when the
variable interest entity was established.

      In December 2003, the FASB issued a revised Interpretation No. 46 ("FIN
46R"), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities." FIN 46R requires companies
to consider whether entities, in which they have financial interests, lack
sufficient equity at risk to permit that entity to finance its activities
without additional subordinated financial support and to consolidate those
entities where the company would absorb the majority of any losses. The
consolidation requirements are effective for interim and annual periods ending
after March 15, 2004. The adoption of FIN 46 and FIN 46R did not have a material
effect on our Company.

      In December 2004 the FASB issued a revised Statement 123 (SFAS 123R),
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" requiring public entities to measure
the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity
instruments based on grant date fair value. The cost will be recognized over the
period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for
the award -- usually the vesting period. The effective date for this statement
is as of the first interim period that begins after June 15, 2005. The Company
is evaluating the impact of this new pronouncement and has not yet estimated the
effect of implementation on the Company's financial statements.

             Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of Vital Living, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Vital Living,
Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004 and the related statements of
operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the two years in the period
then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Vital Living, Inc. and
subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004 and the results of their operations and
their cash flows for the two years in the period then ended in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the
financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations,
has a working capital deficit, and is dependent on funding sources from other
than operations. Since inception, the Company has been required to raise
additional capital by the issuance of both equity and debt instruments. There
are no commitments from funding sources, debt or equity, in the event that cash
flows are not sufficient to fund ongoing operations or other cash commitments
when they come due. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans regarding these
matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include
any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

                               VITAL LIVING, INC
                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 - Organization and Description of Business

      We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on January 22, 2001 under the
      name Nutritional Systems, Inc. We acquired substantially all of the assets
      of Vital Living, Inc. effective May 7, 2001 and changed our name to Vital
      Living, Inc. on May 20, 2001. We then merged with VCM Technology Limited,
      a company reporting under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, on August
      16, 2001. As set forth in the terms of the merger agreement, we acquired
      all of the outstanding shares of common stock of VCM from its sole
      stockholder in exchange for 5,062 shares of restricted common stock.
      Following the merger, we continued as the surviving corporation and
      commenced reporting under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 by
      assuming the reporting of 1934 by assuming the reporting status of VCM,
      which in turn provided us with the ability to file for quotation on the
      Over-the- Counter Bulleting Board under the symbol "VTLV".

      Through a series of various acquisition and divestiture activities that
      occurred during 2004 and 2003, as described further below, we develop and
      market nutritional supplements, and nutraceuticals products for
      distribution primarily through healthcare practitioners. Through a
      licensing agreement, we also have certain rights for the use of a
      pharmaceutical delivery system known as "GEOMATRIX." Our principal
      products currently are Greensfirst(R), Dream Protein(R), and Complete
      Essentials(R).

      Nutritional supplements represent a convenient and cost-effective way for
      an individual to obtain the nutritional benefits of whole foods.
      Nutritional supplements are formulated from whole foods and are intended
      to provide for improved health, reduced risk of diseases, and the delay
      onset of age related indicators while resulting in little added caloric
      and fat intake. Nutritional supplements come in powder, capsule, cracker,
      and other forms. Nutraceuticals, consisting of vitamins, minerals, herbs,
      and supplements, are products that are isolated or purified from foods and
      generally sold in medicinal forms not usually associated with foods,
      including tablets, capsules, and drops. Nutraceuticals are intended to
      have physiological benefits or have the ability to reduce the risk of
      chronic disease beyond basic nutritional products.

      We develop and test our nutraceuticals in collaboration with leading
      medical experts in the nutraceuticals field. We have designed our products
      to be incorporated by healthcare practitioners into standard patient
      routines in which healthcare practitioners recommend and sell our
      nutritional supplements and nutraceuticals products to their patients. Use
      of vitamins, minerals, herbs, and nutritional supplements continues to
      rise as consumers seek nutritional products to improve general health,
      increase longevity, and enhance the overall quality of life.

      In November 2002, we acquired MAF BioNutritionals, LLC ("MAF"). MAF
      formulates, markets, and distributes natural and organic food-based,
      preventative nutraceuticals and therapeutic and functional food products
      designed to support proactive human cell maintenance and rehabilitation,
      essential in the prevention and treatment of disease, as well as overall
      optimal body performance and metabolic function. As further described
      below, we sold the primary assets of MAF and discontinued its operations
      in September 2004.

      In July 2003, we completed the acquisition of the assets and assumption of
      certain liabilities of Christopher's Original Formulas, Inc. ("COF").
      Through this acquisition, we gained the exclusive licensing and marketing
      rights to Christopher's products, a line of over 300 herbal formulas and
      products, consisting primarily of naturally occurring organic substances
      sold to professionals and at retail locations throughout the United
      States. As further described below, we sold certain assets and liabilities
      of COF back to the previous owners and discontinued its operations in July
      2004.

      In August 2003, we completed the acquisition of E-Nutraceuticals, Inc.
      ("ENI"). In addition, through a collaborative partnership with SkyePharma,
      PLC, ("Skye"), a UK pharmaceuticals company and a major shareholder of
      ours, we are in the process of enhancing existing nutraceuticals via
      FDA-approved, proprietary delivery systems. Pursuant to an amended
      Development and License Agreement between the parties, we acquired
      exclusive rights to Skye's drug delivery technology, GEOMATRIX(TM), and
      marketing and royalty rights to pharmaceutical sales using GEOMATRIX(TM)
      in the Peoples Republic of China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong.

      In October 2003, we completed the acquisition of Doctors For Nutrition,
      Inc. ("DFN"). DFN's product line includes GreensFIRST(R), a highly
      concentrated formulation of fruits and vegetables. One serving of the
      product has the antioxidant power of over 10 servings of fruits and
      vegetables. We currently distribute GreensFIRST(R) through health
      practitioner offices throughout the United States.

                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


      The consolidated financial statements include Vital Living, Inc. and its
      wholly owned domestic and foreign subsidiaries (collectively, "We","Vital
      Living" or the "Company"). Consolidated financial statements are financial
      statements of a parent company and its subsidiaries presented as if the
      entities were a single economic unit. Although the assets, liabilities,
      revenues, and expenses of all entities are combined to provide a single
      set of financial statements, certain eliminations and adjustments are
      made. These eliminations are necessary to ensure that only arm's-length
      transactions between independent parties are reflected in the consolidated
      statements; transactions between related parties are eliminated.

      Going concern

      The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared
      assuming we will continue on a going concern basis, which contemplates the
      realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal
      course of business. We have suffered recurring losses from operations,
      have a working capital deficit, and depend on funding from sources other
      than operations. Since inception, we have been required to raise
      additional capital by the issuance of both equity and debt securities.
      There are no commitments from funding sources, debt or equity, in the
      event that cash flows are not sufficient to fund ongoing operations or
      other cash commitments as they come due. These factors raise substantial
      doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We will be
      required to raise additional capital in the near term through offerings of
      securities to fund our operations and will attempt to continue raising
      capital resources if we do not begin to generate revenue sufficient to
      maintain ourselves as a viable entity. No assurance can be given that such
      financing will be available or, if available, that it will be available on
      commercially favorable terms. Moreover, available financing may be
      dilutive to current investors.

      We are in the process of improving, acquiring, or developing products for
      sale that would generate revenue to sustain our operations, as well as
      consolidating our operations in order to gain cost synergies and
      efficiencies. If successful, these actions will serve to mitigate the
      factors that have raised doubt about our ability to continue as a going
      concern and increase the availability of resources for funding of our
      current operations and future market development. In addition, in March
      2004, we entered into a purchase agreement with investors and sold 250,000
      shares of our common stock at $1.00 per share with rights to receive a
      portion of net revenues, as defined therein, from the sale of X-Fat(R).
      The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments
      relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets or
      liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a
      going concern.

      Financial instruments

      Our financial instruments consist of cash, receivables, payables, and
      long-term debt. The carrying amount of cash, receivables, and payables
      approximates fair value because of the short-term nature of these items.
      The carrying amount of long-term debt as of December 31, 2004 approximates
      fair value because interest rates and debt discounts are reflective of
      market rates.

      Concentrations of credit risk

      Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of
      credit risk consist principally of cash. At various times during the year,
      our cash balances may be in excess of federally insured limits. We
      maintain our cash, which consists primarily of demand deposits, with
      high-quality financial institutions, which we believe limits this risk.

      Acquisitions

      We account for acquisitions in accordance with Statement of Financial
      Accounting Standards, ("SFAS") No. 141 "Business Combinations" and
      accordingly apply the purchase method of accounting for all business
      combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 and separately identify
      recognized intangible assets that meet the criteria and amortize these
      assets over their determinable useful lives.

      Cash and cash equivalents

      Our cash equivalents consist primarily of any financial instrument with
      maturities of three months or less and cash investments with high-quality
      financial institutions. Our investment policy limits the amount of credit
      exposure to any one financial institution.

                               VITAL LIVING, INC
                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

      Inventories

      Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method)
      or market and consist of products available for sale or raw materials. At
      December 31, 2004 inventories for resale were $141,000 net of a reserve of
      $379,000.

      Property and equipment

      Property and equipment consists of office furniture, fixtures, and
      equipment, including computer hardware and software and various leasehold
      improvements. We record Property and equipment at cost. We provide for
      Depreciation on a straight-line basis over the lesser of correlating lease
      terms or estimated useful lives ranging from three to ten years.

      Goodwill

      Goodwill represents the excess of the aggregate price paid by us over the
      value of the net equity acquired in an acquisition. In accordance with
      SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," we no longer
      required to amortize goodwill, but are required to review goodwill for
      impairment at least annually whenever events indicate that the carrying
      amount of the asset may not be recoverable in accordance with SFAS No. 144
      "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." As of
      December 31, 2004, events had occurred that would indicate goodwill had
      been impaired and, accordingly, an impairment loss was recorded (see Note
      5).

      Intangible assets

      Our other intangible assets include trademarks, patents, formulations,
      customer lists, and various marketing and license agreements. We amortize
      intangible assets on a straight-line basis over the lesser of the
      correlating agreements or estimated useful lives ranging from two to 14
      years.

      Long-lived assets

      We review long-lived assets and identifiable other intangible assets to be
      held and used for impairment at least annually or whenever events or
      changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be
      recoverable. We evaluate goodwill and other intangible assets arising from
      various acquisitions for impairment on at least an annual basis or when
      events occur that would indicate that impairment had occurred. We measure
      impairment by comparing the carrying value of the long-lived assets to the
      estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from use of
      the assets and their eventual disposition. As of December 31, 2004, events
      had occurred that would indicate goodwill and other intangibles had been
      impaired; accordingly, an impairment loss was recorded (see Note 5).

      Deferred charges

      We capitalize costs associated with the issuance of debt instruments. We
      amortize these costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term
      of the debt instruments. Amortization expense was $745,000 and $231,000
      for the years ended for the year ended December 31, 2004 and 2003
      respectively. These amounts are recorded as a component of interest
      expense.

      Accounting estimates

      The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
      accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires us
      to make estimates and assumptions that 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 reporting period.
      Some of the more significant estimates required to be made us include the
      valuation of inventory, intangible assets, and equity based transactions.
      Actual results could differ from such estimates.

      Income taxes

      We account for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting
      for Income Taxes." Under the asset and liability approach specified by
      SFAS No. 109, a deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the
      difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and
      liabilities as measured by the enacted rates that will be in effect when
      these differences reverse. Deferred tax assets are recorded at their
      likely realizable amounts.

      Revenue recognition

      We recognize revenue when products are shipped to customers. Our return
      policy provides for an unconditional guarantee to our customers for a full
      refund of any unused product, including product that has exceeded its
      expiration date. All returns are subject to quality assurance reviews
      before acceptance. We have determined that product returns are immaterial.
      However, we provide an allowance for returned product as a reduction of
      revenue based on estimates and historical experience with individual
      customers. We offer, from time to time, volume and promotional discounts
      on the products we sell. We record these discounts as a reduction of
      revenue.

                               VITAL LIVING, INC
                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

      Comprehensive income

      SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," establishes standards for
      the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components
      within the financial statements. Other comprehensive income consists of
      charges to stockholders' equity, other than contributions from or
      distributions to stockholders, excluded from the determination of net
      income. Our other comprehensive income consists of unrealized gains and
      losses on available for sale securities and foreign currency translations.
      We do not provide for U.S. income taxes on foreign currency translation
      adjustments since we do not provide for such taxes on undistributed
      earnings of foreign subsidiaries.

      Foreign currency translation

      Financial statements of our foreign subsidiary are prepared using the
      local currency as the functional currency. Translation of these foreign
      operations to U.S. dollars occurs using the current exchange rate for
      balance sheet accounts and a weighted average exchange rate for results of
      foreign operations. Translation gains or losses are recognized in
      "accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)" as a component of
      stockholders' equity in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

      Research and development

      We expense research and development costs relating to both present and
      future products when incurred. Research and development costs amounted to
      $1,180,000 and $400,000 for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003,
      respectively.

      Net loss per share

      We account for earnings per share ("EPS") in accordance with SFAS No. 128,
      "Earnings Per Share," which establishes the requirements for presenting
      EPS. SFAS No. 128 requires the presentation of "basic" and "diluted" EPS
      on the face of the income statement. Basic earnings per share begins with
      income (loss) applicable to common stockholders (net income (loss) less
      preferred stock dividends) and is based on the weighted average number of
      common shares outstanding during each period presented. Diluted EPS
      assumes the exercise of all stock options and warrants having exercise
      prices less than the average market price of the common stock using the
      treasury stock method. For the purpose of diluted earnings per common
      share, and only if such calculation results in dilution, preferred stock
      dividends will not reduce earnings; however, the weighted average common
      shares outstanding would increase representing the amount of common shares
      into which such preferred stock is currently convertible. During the years
      ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, we reported a net loss from operations;
      thus the effects of dilutive securities were anti-dilutive, rendering
      basic and diluted loss per share the same. Convertible preferred stock,
      warrants, and options to purchase common stock are included as common
      stock equivalents only when dilutive. Potentially dilutive securities
      excluded from the loss per share calculation for the year ended December
      31, 2004 are as follows:

      Convertible preferred stock                                  619,000
      Convertible debt                                          19,283,000
      Warrants                                                     815,000
      Employee options                                             401,000
                                                              ------------
                                                                21,118,000
                                                              ============

      Stock based compensation

      We account for our stock option plans in accordance with the provisions of
      SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation," as amended by
      SFAS No. 148 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and
      Disclosure." SFAS No. 123 permits entities to recognize as expense over
      the vesting period the fair value of all stock-based awards on the date of
      grant. Alternatively, SFAS No. 123 also allows entities to apply the
      provisions of Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25,
      "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related interpretations
      and provide pro forma net income or loss and pro forma earnings per share
      disclosures for employee stock option grants as if the fair-value-based
      method defined in SFAS No. 123 had been applied.

                               VITAL LIVING, INC
                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

      We are subject to reporting requirements of FASB Financial Interpretation
      No. ("FIN") 44, "Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock
      Compensation," which requires a non-cash charge to deferred compensation
      expense if the price of our common stock on the last trading day of each
      reporting period is greater than the exercise price of certain stock
      options. After the first such adjustment is made, each subsequent period
      is adjusted upward or downward to the extent that the trading price
      exceeds the exercise price of the options.

      We account for our incentive plans under the recognition and measurement
      principles of Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25,
      "Accounting for Stock issued to Employees," and related Interpretations.
      No stock-based employee compensation (except that related to re-priced
      warrants in accordance with FIN No. 44) is reflected in net loss, as all
      options and warrants granted had an exercise price equal to or below the
      market value of the underlying common stock at the date of grant.

      The fair value of our stock-based awards to employees was estimated using
      the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes model was
      developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have
      no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, the
      Black-Scholes model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions,
      including the expected stock price volatility. Because our stock-based
      awards have characteristics significantly different from those of traded
      options and because changes in the subjective input can materially affect
      the fair value estimate, in our opinion, the existing models do not
      necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of our
      stock-based awards to employees. The fair value of our stock-based awards
      (including re-priced warrants discussed above) was estimated assuming no
      expected dividends and the following weighted average assumptions for the
      years ended December 31:

                                                       2004           2003
                                                    ----------     ----------
      Expected life in years                              3.00           4.00
      Expected stock price volatility                      37%            33%
      Risk-free interest rate                            3.72%          3.14%
      Average fair value per option/warrant         $     0.59     $     0.68

      For pro forma purposes, the estimated fair value of our stock-based awards
      to employees is amortized over the respective vesting periods.

      The following table illustrates the effect on net loss and net loss per
      share if we had applied the fair value recognition provisions of Statement
      of Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
      Compensation," to our stock-based employee compensation for the years
      ended December 31:

      The Company granted warrants to its CEO in 2003. These warrants were
      subsequently re-priced. As a result of this re-pricing, the award is now
      accounted as a variable award. Due to a decline in the trading price of
      the Company's common stock, there was a reduction in personnel costs of
      $1,755,000 for the adjustments of the variable award.

      Recent accounting pronouncements-

      In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain
      Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity." SFAS No.
      150 clarifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with
      characteristics of both liabilities and equity and requires that those
      instruments be classified as liabilities in statements of financial
      position. Previously, many of those financial instruments were classified
      as equity. SFAS No. 150 is effective for financial instruments entered
      into or modified after May 31, 2003 and otherwise is effective at the
      beginning of the first interim period beginning after September 15, 2003.
      The adoption of SFAS No. 150 did not have a material effect on our
      company.

      In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, "Amendment of Statement No.
      133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 149 amends
      and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative
      instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other
      contracts (collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging
      activities under SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
      Hedging Activities." This statement is effective for contracts entered
      into or modified after September 30, 2003. The adoption of SFAS No. 149
      did not have a material effect on our Company.

      In January 2003, the FASB issued FIN 46, "Consolidation of Variable
      Interest Entities." In general, a variable interest entity is a
      corporation, partnership, trust, or any other legal entity used for
      business purposes that either (a) does not have equity investors with
      voting rights or (b) has equity investors that do not provide sufficient
      financial resources for the entity to support its activities. FIN 46
      requires certain variable interest entities to be consolidated by the
      primary beneficiary of the entity if the investors in the entity do not
      have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not
      have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities
      without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. The
      consolidation requirements of FIN 46 apply immediately to variable
      interest entities created after January 31, 2003. The consolidation
      requirements apply to older entities in the first fiscal year or interim
      period beginning after September 15, 2003. Certain of the disclosure
      requirements apply to all financial statements issued after January 31,
      2003, regardless of when the variable interest entity was established.

      In December 2003, the FASB issued a revised Interpretation No. 46 ("FIN
      46R"), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities." FIN 46R requires
      companies to consider whether entities, in which they have financial
      interests, lack sufficient equity at risk to permit that entity to finance
      its activities without additional subordinated financial support and to
      consolidate those entities where the company would absorb the majority of
      any losses. The consolidation requirements are effective for interim and
      annual periods ending after March 15, 2004. The adoption of FIN 46 and FIN
      46R did not have a material effect on our Company.

                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

      In December 2004 the FASB issued a revised Statement 123 (SFAS 123R),
      "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" requiring public entities to
      measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of
      equity instruments based on grant date fair value. The cost will be
      recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide
      service in exchange for the award -- usually the vesting period. The
      effective date for this statement is as of the first interim period that
      begins after June 15, 2005. The Company is evaluating the impact of this
      new pronouncement and has not yet estimated the effect of implementation
      on the Company's financial statements.

Note 3 - Mergers and Acquisitions

      During 2004 and 2003, we acquired three companies. In each transaction,
      common stock was used as consideration and the excess of the purchase
      consideration over the net assets or obligations assumed, after allocation
      to respective identifiable intangible assets, was recorded as goodwill as
      summarized below. A description of each business combination follows.

      E-Nutraceuticals, Inc.

      On August 20, 2003, we acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock of
      ENI, a privately held Delaware corporation. The acquisition net purchase
      price of $41.3 million consisted of 31,500,000 shares of our common stock.
      Included in the purchase price was the cost of 251,000 options issued in
      exchange for existing ENI options, which were estimated to have a fair
      value of $254,000. Other acquisition costs include 1,150,000 shares of
      common stock valued at $1.30 per share or $1,495,000 issued to financial
      advisors and $133,000 of legal and other related costs paid to
      professional advisors.

      The total number of shares issued in this transaction, including the
      issuance of the Series D Preferred Stock (see Note 8), was 40% of the
      total number of shares outstanding on a fully diluted basis, which
      contemplates that all warrants, options, and various classes of preferred
      stock are converted to common stock.

      The original recording of the ENI acquisition was based on a third-party
      business valuation and purchase price allocation provided by a reputable,
      independent, full-service investment bank. The primary assets of ENI
      included the intangible value associated with the worldwide patent rights
      to X-Fat(R), a dietary supplement used in weight loss; licensing rights to
      GEOMATRIX(R), a time-released drug delivery technology; and marketing
      rights to pharmaceutical sales using GEOMATRIX(R) in the Peoples Republic
      of China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. The purchase price allocation resulted in
      $43,059,000 being assigned to the value of these three agreements. The
      amortization period for these agreements was approximately 14 years for
      the GEOMATRIX and X-fat agreements and approximately two years for the
      marketing agreement.

                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

      During 2004, based our continually monitoring of the fair value of both
      the goodwill and intangible assets recorded as a result of the ENI
      acquisition, certain intangible asset impairment determinations were
      concluded and during 2004, $16.0 million was deemed impaired.

      Doctors For Nutrition, Inc.

      On October 14, 2003, we acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock of
      DFN, a privately held California corporation. The acquisition purchase
      price of $2.7 million consisted of 3,100,000 shares of our common stock.
      Included in the acquisition costs were 50,000 shares of common stock
      issued to financial advisors. Goodwill recorded in this transaction is not
      deductible for federal income tax purposes.

      Wellness Watchers Systems, LLC.

      On August 17, 2004, we consummated a joint venture with Wellness Watchers
      International, Inc., or WWI, and together formed Wellness Watchers
      Systems, LLC, or WWS. As of December 31, 2004, WWS was owned equally by us
      and WWI. The operating agreement gave us overall operating responsibility.
      WWS is consolidated within the financial statements of the Company at
      December 31, 2004. WWS manufactures a proprietary brand of dietary protein
      powder called Dream Protein(R), which is directly marketed to the health
      practitioners together with our GreensFIRST(R) product. WWS plans to
      introduce complementary products that will be marketed as part of WWS'
      Healthy Living Program(R). Part of WWI's contribution to WWS was the
      exclusive licensing of certain products, client lists, and marketing
      strategies, which included Dream Protein(R). WWS has developed a unique
      marketing strategy that channels products directly to health
      practitioners. We paid WWI $805,000 for its 50% interest in WWS. The
      purchase price consisted of 3,000,000 shares of our common stock along
      with a $25,000 cash payment. Prior to forming WWS, WWI had no prior
      operating history. During 2004, WWS had total revenue of $400,000.
      Pursuant to the WWS operating agreement, we are responsible for all
      operating loss incurred. Accordingly, we have reported any minority
      interest during 2004. During February 2005, we acquired 100% interest in
      WWS by issuing an additional 1,000,000 shares of common stock. In
      conjunction with the 100% acquisition of WWS and certain other marketing
      and operation strategic productivity decisions, we have consolidated the
      operations of WWS into DFN during the first quarter of 2005.

      Acquisition pro formas

      The unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations for the years
      ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 have been prepared assuming the
      acquisitions of ENI, WWS and DFN and the corresponding issuance of
      37,999,000 of common stock issued as consideration in these acquisitions
      as if they, had occurred as of January 1, 2002. Thus, the unaudited pro
      forma consolidated results of operations include the following periods of
      operation:

      o     Vital Living, Inc. for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003.

      o     ENI for the period from April 1, 2003 through August 20, 2003 (date

      Impairment Analysis

      As required by SFAS No. 142, we continually test goodwill or other
      intangibles created by each acquisition for impairment. These assets are
      tested for impairment at least annually, or upon occurrence of such events
      that may indicate impairment exists. We revised the earnings forecast for
      the next five years and evaluated the change in fair value of each
      component of goodwill using the expected present value of future cash
      flows. Impairment was due to a combination of factors, including
      acquisition price, increased market competition, and operating
      performance. As result of this process, during 2004, we determined that
      certain intangible assets were impaired. Accordingly, during 2004, we
      recorded impairment charges totaling $14,976,000 in 2004. The individual
      charges of $9,545,000, $1,727,000 and $3,704,000 are related to the
      Geomatrix licensing agreement, the ENI China marketing agreement and the
      X-Fat marketing agreement, respectively.

      As a result of our review, the remaining goodwill was deemed to be fairly
      stated at December 31, 2004. The goodwill of $3,226,000 is attributable to
      previous acquisitions as follows:

      DFN                   $2,421,000
      WWS                      805,000
                            ----------
      Total                 $3,226,000
                            ==========

      Our primary intangibles, other than goodwill discussed above, with a gross
      intangible value of $26,679,000_at December 31, 2004, were obtained in the
      2003 acquisition of ENI and consist of a licensing agreement for the
      licensing of the GEOMATRIX(R) technology and certain marketing rights to
      pharmaceutical sales using GEOMATRIX(R) in the Peoples Republic of China,
      Taiwan, and Hong Kong.

      In order to test for impairment of these long-lived assets, fair value was
      determined based on a valuation study performed by an independent third
      party that considered primarily the discounted cash flow and guideline
      company method. As a result of this review, none of the remaining assets
      are deemed to be impaired.

Note 6 - Long-Term Debt

      Between October and December 2003, we borrowed an aggregate principal
      amount of $1.5 million in the form of Senior Convertible Notes (the
      "Bridge Notes"), due April 28, 2004, in a private placement, subject to
      certain registration rights, generating cash proceeds of approximately
      $1,300,000, net of cash debt issue costs of $213,600. Principal and
      interest at a rate of 10% per annum is payable in a single installment on
      the maturity date in cash or shares of common stock, at our discretion, at
      a price equal to $1.00 per share. As part of the transactions, Bridge Note
      holders received 3,060,000 and 1,530,000 warrants to purchase our common
      stock at exercise prices of $1.00 and $1.50 per share, respectively. The
      fair value of these warrants of $988,000 has been recorded by us and
      charged immediately to interest expense as the warrants were fully vested
      and the related notes fully convertible at the date of issuance. In
      accordance with the terms of these Bridge Notes, because we consummated a
      debt financing before the maturity date, the entire principal amount of
      the notes plus accrued interest totaling $1,548,000 has been converted
      into the debt securities offered in the December 2003 Secured Notes.

      Debt issue costs related to this transaction of $655,000, including cash
      fees of $214,000, common stock issued valued at $298,000, and the fair
      value associated with warrants issued of $144,000 as discussed in Note 9,
      was recorded in deferred debt issuance costs, net of amounts charged to
      interest expense during the year ended December 31, 2004 totaling $766,000
      before refinancing. The market value of our common stock on the dates the
      Bridge Notes were issued ranged from $1.28 - $1.52 per share. In
      accordance with EITF 98-5, as amended by EITF 00-27, because the
      convertible debt was sold at a price less than market value, a beneficial
      conversion to holders of the Bridge Notes occurred. Accordingly, a
      beneficial conversion amount of $542,000 was recorded to additional
      paid-in-capital and a corresponding amount recorded as a debt discount and
      subsequently recorded as interest expense when converted as described
      above.

      In December 2003, we borrowed an aggregate principal amount of
      approximately $4.58 million in the form of Senior Secured Convertible
      Notes (the "Secured Notes"), due December 17, 2008, in a private
      placement, subject to certain registration rights, thereby converting the
      Bridge Notes as described above, generating cash proceeds of $2.5 million,
      net of cash debt issue costs of $538,000. At time of issuance the Secured
      Notes bore interest at a rate of 12% per annum, 8% of which is payable
      semi-annually in cash each June and December, while 4% per annum could be
      paid, at our discretion, in cash or our common stock at a price equal to
      the ten-day average trading price of our common stock five business days
      prior to the relevant interest payment date. A total of $550,000, or an
      amount equal to the first two semi-annual interest payments at 12%, was
      placed in an interest bearing escrow account at December 31, 2003 and was
      recorded in Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets. In October 2004, we
      agreed with the holders of the Secured Notes and warrants to reduce the
      conversion price and exercise price of those securities to $0.25 per
      share. Two noteholders converted there notes as of December 31, 2004.
      There was no expense recorded relative to the reduction in the conversion
      price. The reduction of the conversion price is permanent and there was no
      time limit placed on the reduced conversion price, therefore it was
      determined not to be a an inducement to convert as that term is defined in
      Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 84 Induced Conversions of
      Convertible Debt . In exchange for this reduction:

      We agreed to include the additional shares of common stock that are now
      issuable upon conversion of the outstanding Secured Notes as a result of
      the reduction in the conversion price in the next registration statement
      we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("New Registration
      Statement"). The shares of common stock originally convertible under the
      Secured Notes are registered for resale under our Registration Statement
      on Form SB-2 (SEC File No. 333-111921) ("Registration Statement"), which
      was declared effective by the SEC on August 13, 2004; We are now entitled
      to pay all 12% interest due on the Secured Notes in either cash or shares
      of our common stock, at our sole option, commencing with the interest
      payment due in December 2004. We were originally required to pay the 12%
      interest on the senior convertible promissory notes at the rate of 8% per
      annum in cash and had the option to pay the remaining interest at the rate
      of 4% per annum in cash or shares of common stock. The shares of common
      stock representing the 4% interest payments are registered for resale
      under the Registration Statement. We have agreed to include the additional
      shares of common stock representing the 8% interest payments in the New
      Registration Statement; and


                                      F-17

                               VITAL LIVING, INC
                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

      o     All penalties that we were required to pay as a result of our
            failure to have the Registration Statement declared effective by
            April 15, 2004 will be payable by our in shares of common stock
            ("Penalty Stock") at a price equal to $0.258. Such shares will be
            included on the New Registration Statement.

      We may redeem the Secured Notes commencing December 15, 2004, provided the
      ten-day average trading price of our common stock prior to the redemption
      is at least $3.00 per share. The Secured Notes are collateralized by our
      assets, have priority in right of payment over all our indebtedness, and
      include certain provisions related to change in control, reorganization,
      recapitalization, and other adjustments. In addition, Secured Note holders
      received 4,588,000 warrants to purchase shares of common stock at an
      exercise price of $1.00 per share. The fair value of these warrants of
      $1,084,000 was recorded and previously charged immediately to interest
      expense as the warrants were fully vested and the related notes fully
      convertible at the date of issuance. As discussed in Note 2, we have
      restated our financial results as of December 31, 2003 to record a debt
      discount of $1,066,000, net of accumulated accretion of $18,000 of
      interest expense, in accordance with EITF 00-27 and will amortize the
      remaining discount over the life of the Secured Notes.

      Debt issue costs related to the Secured Notes of $741,000, including cash
      fees of $330,000 and the value associated with warrants issued of $167,000
      as discussed in Note 9, is recorded in deferred debt issuance costs.
      Amounts charged to interest expense during the year ended December 31,
      2004 totals $255,000 and includes $244,000 of cash and the fair value of
      warrants issued in conjunction with the refinancing of the Bridge Notes
      charged to expense in the period incurred. The market value of our common
      stock on the date the Secured Notes were issued ranged from $1.15 - $1.23
      per share. In accordance with EITF 98-5, as amended by EITF 00-27, because
      the convertible debt was sold at a price less than market value, a
      beneficial conversion to holders of the Secured Notes occurred.
      Accordingly, a beneficial conversion amount of $1,648,000 was recorded and
      additional paid-in-capital and a corresponding amount was previously
      recorded by us to interest expense, as the debt is immediately convertible
      at the option of the debt holder. As discussed in Note 2, we have restated
      our financial results as of December 31, 2003 to record a debt discount of
      $1,620,000, net of accumulated accretion of interest expense of $27,000,
      in accordance with EITF 00-27 and will amortize the remaining discount
      over the life of the Secured Notes.

      In connection with our acquisitions, we assumed certain of the acquired
      companies' long-term debt , the terms of which are described further
      below. Long-term debt consists of the following at December 31:

Note 7 - Commitments and contingencies

      From time to time, we are party to a variety of legal proceedings arising
      out of the normal course of business, including cases in which damages may
      be sought. We believe we have a valid defense and are vigorously defending
      any pending litigation. While the results of litigation cannot be
      predicted with certainty, we do not believe that the outcome of these
      proceedings will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated
      financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

      We lease office space under non-cancellable operating leases that expire
      through 2007. Future minimum lease payments under non-cancellable
      operating leases for the subsequent five years ending December 31 are
      approximately as follows:

               2005            $   82,000
               2006                82,000
               2007                27,000
               2008
               2009
                               ----------
      Total                    $  191,000
                               ==========

      Total rent expense was $126,000 and $161,000 for the years ended December
      31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

      In connection with the ENI Acquisition, we became party to a Development
      and License Agreement and subsequent Amendment (collectively, the "ENI
      Agreements") with SkyePharma, PLC ("Skye"). The ENI Agreements provide for
      certain product identification and license exclusivity rights on
      nutraceutical products utilizing Skye's patented drug-delivery
      technologies, GEOMATRIX(R), in exchange for various commitments as
      follows:

      o     In consideration for the ENI Agreement and development services
            through 2004 and contingent on additional debt or equity financing
            of $3.0 million, we are obligated to pay Skye $1.0 million in four
            equal installments beginning January 1, 2004 and each first day of
            each calendar quarter thereafter.

      o     We may retain our right to identify new product candidates and
            license them exclusively through the later of December 31, 2017 or
            the expiration of Skye's corresponding patents, provided at least
            four such product candidates are identified us and approved by Skye,
            or Skye receives $1.0 million in product development fees, per
            calendar year beginning January 1, 2005.

      o     We are obligated to pay Skye royalties equal to 10% of net sales
            generated from the products, as defined, quarterly in arrears.

      Should we fail to meet the above commitments, product selection and
      license exclusivity rights will terminate at the end of the respective
      calendar year without effect on rights attained in prior years. As of
      December 31, 2004, we had failed to make payments to Skye totaling
      $750,000 related to the ENI Agreement. We are in process of renegotiating
      the related terms and payments in order to maintain our rights under the
      ENI Agreements despite the default. These amounts are included in accrued
      and other liabilities.

      The ENI Agreements also appointed us as Skye's exclusive marketing partner
      to pharmaceutical companies for licensing of all of Skye's technology in
      the Chinese Territories, as defined therein. We are eligible to receive 5%
      of all gross revenues resulting directly from our marketing efforts.
      Receipt of such royalties is contingent, however, on such revenues
      reaching or exceeding $1.0 million, or in aggregate $2.0 million, by
      August 2004 and 2005, respectively. Should these revenue goals not be
      achieved, our exclusive marketing rights and Skye's royalty obligation on
      newly established sales will terminate, except, that royalties on on-going
      gross revenues resulting directly from our marketing efforts prior to the
      loss of such rights will continue to be due and payable.

                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

      In connection with the ENI Acquisition, we became party to a Licensing
      Agreement, granting us an exclusive, worldwide, perpetual license to
      dietary supplements containing chitosan, gor X-Fat(R) (the "X-Fat
      License"). The X-Fat License requires us to pay royalties equal to 10% of
      the first $1.0 million of net product sales and 5% of such net product
      sales in excess of $1.0 million, up to a maximum royalty of $1,250,000 per
      fiscal year. We are required to pay advanced royalties of $15,000 per
      quarter to be credited against future royalty payments. At December 31,
      2004, we prepaid royalties of $307,000.

Note 8 - Capital Stock

      In December 2003, the board of directors and a majority of stockholders
      approved an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to increase the
      number of authorized shares of common stock from 100,000,000 to
      150,000,000, par value $.001 per share. We are currently authorized to
      issue up to 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.001 per
      share. At December 31, 2004, our capital stock consisted of the following:

                                                                Issued &
      Capital Stock                Par Value    Authorized     Outstanding

      Common Stock                  $0.001     150,000,000     99,016,000
      Preferred Stock               $0.001       3,000,000      1,500,000

      Common Stock

      Each holder of common stock is entitled to one vote per share of held on
      all matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders. Holders of our common
      stock have no preemptive rights and have no rights to convert their common
      stock into any other securities. In the event of dissolution or
      liquidation or the winding-up of our company, holders of our common stock
      will be entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of
      all liabilities, subject to any preferential payments to the holders of
      any Secured Notes and preferred stock then outstanding. Although we are
      restricted from paying cash dividends under the terms of the Secured
      Notes, holders of common stock are entitled to receive ratably such
      dividends as may be declared by our board of directors out of funds
      legally available therefore. All of our outstanding common shares are
      fully paid and non-assessable.

      During 2004, 791,000 shares were retuned to us as required by the term of
      the ENI acquisition agreement.

      Common Stock Issued to an Employee

      During the 2004 and 2003 we issued 700,000 and 1,300,000 shares of common
      stock to a former employee valued at $1,800,000 and $6,000,000 million as
      consideration for early termination of an employment contract during 2004
      and compensation related to the closing for various 2003 acquisitions,
      respectively.

      Common Stock Issued for Services and Settlements

      In order to fund operating activities, we, from time to time, issue common
      stock in lieu of cash in exchange for goods or services.

      During the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, we issued 1,800,000 and
      700,000 shares of restricted common stock with a value of $700,000 in each
      case, in consideration for consulting, investment banking, or other
      services rendered, compensation, release of debt, and various other claims
      that parties may have had against the Company.

      Additionally, during 2004, we issued 1.6 million shares of our common
      stock related to penalties for not having an effective registration
      statement as required for the December 2003 private placement this
      issuance had a fair market value of $187,000.

      During the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, 160,000 and 395,000
      shares of common stock with a value of $47,000 and $514,000, respectively,
      were issued to directors for director services and to various consultants
      for various consultations and advisory services to be provided over a
      period ranging from 12 months to three years. These shares were originally
      capitalized as a component of equity and amortized to expense over the
      vesting periods. For the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, $587,000
      and $428,000 was amortized to expense, respectively. The value of
      unamortized restricted common stock issued for services as of December 31,
      2004 and 2003 was $93,000 and $390,000, respectively.

      During the 2003, a total of 1,400,000 shares of common stock with an
      aggregate value of $1.7 million were issued for financial advisory
      services related to our various acquisitions. During 2003, 1,150,000
      shares of common stock with a market value of $1.5 million were issued to
      financial advisors in the ENI Acquisition, 154,000 shares of common stock
      with a market value of $166,000 were issued to financial advisors in the
      COF Acquisition, and 50,000 shares of common stock with a market value of
      $59,000 were issued to a financial advisor in the DFN Acquisition.

                               VITAL LIVING, INC
                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

      During the year ended December 31, 2003, 266,000 shares of common stock
      with a value of $372,000 were issued for investment banking and other
      services related to private placements of both senior convertible debt and
      the Series C Preferred stock. The value of the shares were capitalized as
      a component of equity if associated with Series C Preferred stock private
      placement ($74,000), or as deferred loan costs if associated with Senior
      Convertible Debt private placements ($298,000).

      Pursuant to a registration rights agreement related to a November 2002
      private placement of 1,368,000 shares of common stock, we were required to
      file and have declared effective a registration statement to register the
      shares of common stock issued and shares that might be issued upon
      exercise of the Series B Warrants and Series C Warrants from the private
      placement prior to March 20, 2003. We failed to have the registration
      statement declared effective by the deadline; as a result, we owed the
      investors liquidated damages equal to 2% per month of the purchase price
      of these securities, calculated on a pro rata basis to the date on which
      the registration statement was ultimately declared effective. During 2003,
      we reached an agreement with some of the investors to pay such damages in
      328,000 shares of our common stock, valued at approximately $367,000. .

      Treasury Stock

      As part of a resignation agreement executed in July 2003, in which all
      severance payments under a prior employment agreement were waived, 280,000
      shares of restricted common stock were returned at no cost and 144,000
      shares were repurchased by us at $0.50 per share from William Coppel,
      former President, for total payments of $72,000 during 2003. These shares
      have been returned to and recorded as treasury stock as of December 31,
      2003. The 280,000 shares of common stock returned by Mr. Coppel were
      recorded at par value, or $280, with a corresponding adjustment to
      additional paid-in capital.

      Preferred Stock

      Preferred stock may be issued in one or more series, the terms of which
      may be determined at the time of issuance by our board of directors,
      without further action by stockholders, and may include voting rights
      (including the right to vote as a series on particular matters),
      preferences as to dividends and liquidation, conversion rights, redemption
      rights and sinking fund provisions. The issuance of shares of preferred
      stock could adversely affect the rights of the holders of common stock and
      therefore, reduce the value of the common stock.

      Series A Preferred Stock

      Between February and June 2002, we sold 3,712,000 shares of 10% Series A
      Preferred Stock at $1.00 per share, generating cash proceeds of
      approximately $3.6 million, net of cash offering costs of $118,000.
      Holders may convert their shares into a like amount of common stock at any
      time after the first anniversary date of issuance and the shares will
      convert by their terms after 18 months. Upon conversion, holders of Series
      A Preferred Stock will receive one Series A Warrant per five preferred
      shares converted to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise
      price of $2.00 per share, exercisable one year from the date of issuance.
      If all Series A Preferred Stock were to convert, it would require that we
      issue 742,000 Series A Warrants, excluding those to be issued upon
      conversion of Series A Preferred Stock issued as dividends.

      Holders of Series A Preferred Stock have no voting rights, but are
      entitled to various rights, preferences, and restrictions that include, a
      10% cumulative dividend payable in additional shares of Series A Preferred
      Stock at $1.00 per share; a preference upon a liquidation, dissolution, or
      winding up of our company; and privileges upon redemption during the first
      twelve months from the date of issuance equal to $1.50 per share.

      The market value of our common stock on the dates Series A Preferred Stock
      was sold ranged between $1.25 - $3.40 per common share. In accordance with
      EITF 98-5, as amended by EITF 00-27, because the Series A Preferred Stock
      was sold at a price less than market value of the underlying components of
      the security, a beneficial conversion to holders of the Series A Preferred
      Stock occurred. Accordingly, during 2002, we recorded a discount of $3.4
      million within stockholders' equity and a corresponding amount to
      preferred stock additional paid-in-capital. The Series A Preferred Stock
      is convertible into common stock at the option of the holder at any time
      after the first anniversary date of its issuance, thus the beneficial
      conversion is amortized over a one-year period. A total of $1.1 million of
      the Series A Preferred Stock discount was amortized during 2003. At
      December 31, 2003, the entire amount of the Series A Preferred discount
      had been amortized.

                               VITAL LIVING, INC
                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

      During 2003, holders of 682,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock
      converted such shares into 682,000 shares of common stock. As a condition
      to conversion, we granted 136,000 warrants with an exercise price of $2.00
      per share. The value of the converted Series A Preferred Stock was $1.3
      million and the value of the warrants was $55,000 using the Black-Scholes
      option-pricing model. Dividends are cumulative and are to be paid every
      six months from the date of issuance for a total of 18 months with no
      obligation to pay dividends thereafter. During June 2003, 380,000
      additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock valued at $380,000 were
      issued in satisfaction of dividends owed to holders of Series A Preferred
      Stock and at December 31, 2003, declared and unpaid dividends of $205,000
      were accrued and will be paid by the issuance of Series A Preferred Stock
      for a total dividend of $585,000 (or $0.02 per share). At December 31,
      2003, 3,400,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock remained outstanding
      pending the issuance of a like amount of common stock.

      During 2004, the holders of the 3.4 million shares of Series A Preferred
      Stock converted such shares into a like amount of shares of common stock.
      As a condition of conversion, we granted 859,000 series A warrants with an
      exercise price of $2.00 per share. The value of the converted Series A
      Preferred Stock was $6.5 million and the value of the warrants was
      $385,000 using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Dividends on the
      Series A Preferred Stock issued in September 2002 are cumulative and are
      to be paid every six months from the date of issuance for a total of 18
      months with no obligation to pay dividends thereafter. During February
      2004, 205,000 additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock valued at
      $205,000 were issued in satisfaction of all dividends owed to holders of
      Series A Preferred Stock for a cumulative dividend of $585,000.

      The market value our common stock on the dates Series A Preferred Stock
      was sold ranged between $1.25 - $3.40 per share. In accordance with EITF
      98-5, as amended by EITF 00-27, because the Series A Preferred Stock was
      sold at a price less than market value of the underlying components of the
      security, a beneficial conversion to holders of the Series A Preferred
      Stock occurred. Accordingly, during 2002, we recorded a discount of $3.4
      million within stockholders' equity and a corresponding amount to
      preferred stock additional paid-in-capital. The Series A Preferred Stock
      was convertible into common stock at the option of the holder at any time
      after the first anniversary date of its issuance, thus, the beneficial
      conversion was amortized over a one-year period and fully amortized by
      December 31, 2003. In conjunction with the conversion of the Series A
      Preferred shares during 2004, $2.2 million of previously amortized
      beneficial conversion was reclassified from preferred stock additional
      paid-in-capital to common stock additional paid-in capital.

      Series B Preferred Stock

      On April 16, 2003, we sold to one investor 10 units, each consisting of
      100,000 shares of non-voting 25% Series B Preferred Stock, 100,000 Series
      D Warrants, and 100,000 Series E Warrants, convertible into 1,000,000
      shares of Series B Preferred Stock at $1.00 per share, 1,000,000 Series D
      Warrants at an exercise price of $1.30 per share, and 1,000,000 Series E
      Warrants at an exercise price of $1.60 per share, generating cash proceeds
      of $875,000, net of cash offering costs of $125,000. The combined fair
      value at the date of grant of the Series D and Series E Warrants using the
      Black-Scholes option-pricing model was $62,000.

      The holder of the Series B Preferred Stock is entitled to a one-time a
      dividend at a rate of 25% per annum, payable in cash or common stock on
      the one-year anniversary of the issuance date with no obligation to pay
      dividends thereafter. Unpaid and/or undeclared dividends are cumulative.
      The total amount of dividends not declared at December 31, 2003 was
      $177,000 (or $0.01 per common share) and would total $250,000 on an annual
      basis (or $0.01 per common share). Each share of Series B Preferred Stock
      is convertible into one share of common stock at the option of the holder
      at any time after the first anniversary of the date of issuance. In
      connection with this offering, 200,000 Series D Warrants with an exercise
      price of $1.30 per share (fair value of $8,086) and a cash commission
      equal to 12.5% of the proceeds (or $125,000) were paid to the stockholder
      to facilitate the transaction, thus increasing the total offering costs to
      $133,086. The Series B Preferred Stock has no voting rights, liquidation
      preferences, or protective provisions.

      In April 2004, 250,000 additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock
      valued at $250,000 were issued in satisfaction of dividends owed to the
      holder of the Series B Preferred Stock. Simultaneously, all 1,250,000
      shares of Series B Preferred Stock were converted into 1,250,000 shares of
      common stock.

      Series C Preferred Stock

      On July 9, 2003, we sold to one investor five units, each consisting of
      100,000 shares of non-voting 50% Series C Preferred Stock, 100,000 Series
      D Warrants, and 100,000 Series E Warrants, aggregating 500,000 shares of
      Series C Preferred Stock at $1.00 per share, 500,000 Series D Warrants at
      an exercise price of $1.30 per share, and 500,000 Series E Warrants at an
      exercise price of $1.60 per share, generating cash proceeds of $438,000,
      net of cash offering cost of $63,000. The combined fair value at the date
      of grant of the Series D and Series E Warrants using the Black-Scholes
      option-pricing model was $242,000.

                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

      The holder of the Series C Preferred Stock is entitled to a two-time
      dividend at the rate of 50% per annum, payable in cash or common stock on
      the first and second anniversary of the issuance date with no obligation
      to pay dividends thereafter. Unpaid and/or undeclared dividends are
      cumulative. The total amount of dividends not declared at December 31,
      2004 was $370,000... Each share of Series C Preferred Stock is convertible
      into one share of common stock at the option of the holder at any time
      after the first anniversary of the date of issuance.

      In connection with this offering, 250,000 Series D Warrants with an
      exercise price of $1.30 per share (fair value of $72,000), a cash
      commission equal to 12.5% of the proceeds (or $63,000), 63,000 shares of
      common stock (fair value of $74,000, or $1.18 per share), and an option to
      acquire 63,000 shares of common stock exercisable at $1.00 per share (fair
      value of $26,000) were granted, paid, or issued to a stockholder to
      facilitate the transaction, thus increasing the total offering costs to
      $234,000. The Series C Preferred Stock has no voting rights, liquidation
      preferences, or protective provisions.

      The market value of our common stock on the date the Series C Preferred
      Stock was sold was $1.18 per share. In accordance with EITF 98-5, as
      amended by EITF 00-27, because the Series C Preferred Stock was sold at a
      price less than market value of the underlying components of the security,
      a beneficial conversion to holders of the Series C Preferred Stock
      occurred. Accordingly, during 2003, we recorded a discount of $253,000
      within stockholders' equity and a corresponding amount to preferred stock
      additional paid-in-capital. The Series C Preferred Stock is convertible
      into common stock at the option of the holder at any time after the first
      anniversary date of its issuance, thus the beneficial conversion is
      amortized over a one-year period. The entire $253,000 balance was
      amortized during 2004 and 2003.

      Series D Preferred Stock

      On August 20, 2003, concurrent with the ENI Acquisition, we sold to a
      single investor 1,000,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock at $1.00 per
      share, generating cash proceeds of $815,000, net of cash offering costs of
      $185,000. Each share of Series D Preferred Stock is convertible into one
      share of common stock at the option of the holder at any time.

      The market value of our common stock on the date the Series D Preferred
      Stock was sold was $1.37 per common share. In accordance with EITF 98-5,
      as amended by EITF 00-27, because the Series D Preferred Stock was sold at
      a price less than market value of the underlying components of the
      security, a beneficial conversion to holders of the Series D Preferred
      Stock occurred. Accordingly, during 2003 we recorded a discount of
      $370,000 within stockholders' equity and a corresponding amount to
      preferred stock additional paid-in-capital. The Series D Preferred Stock
      is convertible into common stock at the option of the holder at any time,
      thus the beneficial conversion was recorded as a dividend upon issuance.

      The holder of the Series D Preferred Stock is entitled to various rights,
      preferences, and restrictions that include, but are not limited to:

      1.    Voting. The Series D Preferred Stock votes on an as-converted basis
            with the common stock.

      2.    Dividends. The holders of the Series D Preferred Stock are entitled
            to a like dividend or distribution, pro rata, should there be a cash
            or property dividend or distribution to any class of common stock or
            preferred stock other than the Series A Preferred Stock, determined
            on an as converted basis. This does not include any dividends paid
            in shares of common stock to the holders of Series B Preferred Stock
            and Series C Preferred Stock outstanding as of the date of issuance.

      3.    Liquidation Preference. The Series D Preferred Stock is senior to
            the Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock and the
            common stock upon liquidation and is entitled to an amount equal to
            the original $1.00 per share issue price plus any declared and
            unpaid dividends (as adjusted for stock dividends, combinations,
            splits, recapitalization, and the like with respect to such shares).

      4.    Redemption. We have no rights to redeem the Series D Preferred
            Stock.

      5.    Conversion. The holders of Series D Preferred Stock have the right
            to convert into common stock, at any time. Each share of Series D
            Preferred Stock is convertible into one share of common stock
            subject to adjustment for declared and unpaid dividends, stock
            dividends, combinations, splits, recapitalization, and the like with
            respect to such shares. The conversion price is initially set at
            $1.00. The conversion price may be decreased at the end of two years
            if the common stock is trading at a price below the conversion price
            then in effect. The floor for such adjustment is $0.25 per share.
            The conversion price of the Series D Preferred Stock may also be
            reduced in certain situations if we issue additional options,
            warrants, or rights to purchase common stock at a price below the
            conversion price of the Series D Preferred Stock. In such event, the
            conversion price will be decreased by multiplying the conversion
            price then in effect by a fraction of which (i) the numerator will
            be the number of outstanding shares of common stock on the date of
            issuance of the rights plus the number of shares of common stock
            which could be purchased at the then conversion price from the
            aggregate offering price of the rights and (ii) the denominator will
            be the shares of common stock outstanding on the date of issuance of
            the rights plus the number of shares of common stock so offered for
            subscription or purchase pursuant to such rights.

      6.    Protective Provisions. So long as any shares of Series D Preferred
            Stock are outstanding, we may not, without the prior affirmative
            consent or vote of the holders of at least two thirds of the
            outstanding shares of the Series D Preferred Stock:

            a.    authorize, create, designate, establish or issue shares of,
                  any class or series of capital stock ranking senior to or on
                  parity with the Series D Preferred Stock or reclassify any
                  shares of common stock into shares having any preference or
                  priority as to dividends or assets superior to any such
                  preference or priority of Series D Preferred Stock; or

            b.    amend, alter or repeal, whether by merger, consolidation or
                  otherwise, our amended and restated articles of incorporation
                  or bylaws or the resolutions contained in the certificate of
                  designation of the Series D Preferred Stock and the powers,
                  preferences, privileges, relative, participating, optional and
                  other special rights and qualifications, limitations and
                  restrictions thereof, which would adversely affect any right,
                  preference, privilege or voting power of the Series D
                  Preferred Stock, or which would increase the amount of
                  authorized shares of the Series D Preferred Stock or of any
                  other series of preferred stock ranking senior to the Series D
                  Preferred Stock, with respect to the payment of dividends
                  (whether or not such series of preferred stock is cumulative
                  or non-cumulative as to payment of dividends) or liquidation.

Note 9 - Discontinued Operations

      In order to resolve certain disputes with a former employee of the COF
      subsidiary, on July 9, 2004, we settled all matters via an execution of a
      Settlement and Release Agreement (the "Agreement") calling for the
      settlement of all claims and the sale of certain assets and liabilities
      back to the previous owners of COF. As part of the Agreement, we will pay
      the previous owners of COF $150,000 in six equal monthly installments
      beginning July 2004 in exchange for the return of 2,600,000 shares of our
      common stock originally paid as part of the acquisition price. In
      addition, we will assign certain assets and the previous owners of COF
      will assume certain liabilities of NSI as of the effective date, the
      previous owners of COF will sublease the Company's facilities located in
      Spanish Fork, Utah for a period of one year from the effective date, and
      executive employment agreements with Robert Scott and James Jeppson
      executed as part of the COF Acquisition become null and void. Should
      either party fail to perform its obligations under the Agreement, certain
      rights and options exist allowing the parties to terminate the Agreement.
      During 2004, we paid $50,000 of the $150,000 required payments under the
      Agreement. As of November 15, 2004, we has not received the 2.6 million
      shares of common stock back from the previous owners of COF, accordingly
      we are seeking specific remedies. In September 2004, we were served with a
      final demand notice from the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") related to
      obligations from the previous owners of COF. These amounts were the
      obligation of the previous owners of COF which was ratified in the
      Agreement. However, in order for us to avoid any future claims related to
      this matter, in November 2004, we entered into a settlement agreement with
      the IRS related to this matter and paid the remaining $100,000 obligation
      under the Agreement directly to the IRS. The IRS has agreed not pursue us
      related to this matter.

      On September 30, 2004, MAF entered into an agreement to sell all
      properties, rights and assets used or useful in connection with its
      product line, Boulder Bar. This was the primary asset in MAF. MAF received
      a $50,000 cash payment, a $50,000 promissory note and the purchaser has
      agreed to continue serving the debt obligation of approximately $435,000,
      which is secured by the aforementioned asset. As a result of this
      transaction, during 2004, the Company recorded an impairment charge
      related to the remaining $104,000 of intangible assets related to the MAF
      acquisition and a charge of $38,000 related to other MAF assets deemed to
      be of no remaining value.

      As of December 31, 2004, COF and MAF total net asset were ($916,000) and
      $189,000, respectively. For 2004 total revenues for COF and MAF were
      $1,060,000 and $543,000 respectively. For 2003, COF and MAF total revenues
      were $987,000 and $1,370,000, respectively.

Note 10 - Stock Options and Warrants

      Series A Warrants

      Series A Warrants were issued in connection with the June 2002 Series A
      Preferred Stock private placement. Upon conversion of every five shares of
      Series A Preferred Stock into common stock, we will grant one Series A
      Warrant to purchase one share of our common stock, exercisable after one
      year from the date of grant at an exercise price of $2.00 per share and
      expiring on the second anniversary of the date of grant. The exercise
      price of the warrants is subject to adjustment for stock splits,
      dividends, reclassifications, and other adjustments.

                               VITAL LIVING, INC
                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

      Upon conversion of the 3,712,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and
      corresponding stock dividends, we will ultimately issue 859,420 Series A
      Warrants. During 2004, pursuant to the warrant offering in November and
      December 2004, one holder of the Series A warrants exercised 278,000
      warrants at $0.10 per warrant resulting in gross proceeds of approximately
      $28,000. As of December 31, 2004, there were 582,000 Series A Warrants
      outstanding.

      Series B and Series C Warrants

      Series B and Series C Warrants were issued in connection with the November
      2002 common stock private placement, concurrent with the MAF Acquisition.
      The Series B and Series C Warrants have exercise prices of $1.65 and
      $2.14, respectively, and may be exercised at the option of the holder at
      any time for a period of five years from the date of issuance. The
      exercise prices are subject to adjustment for stock splits, dividends,
      reclassifications, and other typical corporate actions. If we issue
      additional shares of common stock at a price less than $1.00 per share,
      the exercise prices of the warrants upon each such issuance will be
      adjusted and reset to such issuance price; however, this reset feature
      does not apply to the following:

      1.    any stock splits, dividends, reclassifications, or similar actions,
            or

      2.    any issuance of shares of common stock (or shares of common stock
            issuable upon the exercise of securities convertible into shares of
            common stock with an exercise price or a conversion price less than
            $1.00) if such securities were issued to consultants, employees,
            service providers, or to a third party to satisfy amounts owed;
            provided that we may not issue to such individuals, in any rolling
            12-month period, more than 1,600,000 shares of common stock or 10%
            of the actual number of shares of common stock issued and
            outstanding (assuming the conversion of the Series A Preferred
            Stock) and may not issue to any one individual more than 500,000
            shares of common stock.

      As long as a registration statement covering the shares underlying the
      warrants is effective, we may redeem any or all of the warrants, at any
      time, at $0.05 per warrant if:

      1.    the closing price for our common stock on any 20 trading days within
            a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the date of the
            notice of the call has been in excess of 150% of the then effective
            exercise price, and

      2.    no less than four of such 20 days occur during the last five trading
            days ending on the date of the notice of the redemption.

      As of December 31, 2004, there were 1,368,000 Series B Warrants and
      1,368,000 Series C Warrants outstanding.

      Series D and Series E Warrants

      Series D and Series E Warrants were issued in connection with the April
      2003 Series B Preferred Stock and July 2003 Series C Preferred Stock
      private placements. The Series D and Series E Warrants have exercise
      prices of $1.30 and $1.60, respectively, and may be exercised at the
      option of the holder at any time for a period of five years from the date
      of issuance. The exercise prices are subject to adjustment for stock
      splits, dividends, reclassifications, and other typical corporate actions.
      As of December 31, 2004, there were 1,950,000 Series D Warrants and
      1,500,000 Series E Warrants outstanding.

      Series F Warrants

      Series F Warrants were issued in connection with the July 2003 amendment
      of one of our strategic consulting agreements. The Series F Warrants have
      an exercise price of $1.00 per share and may be exercised at the option of
      the holder at any time for a period of five years from the date of
      issuance. The exercise price is subject to adjustment for stock splits,
      dividends, reclassifications, and other typical corporate actions. As of
      December 31, 2004, there were 125,000 Series F Warrants outstanding.

      Series G and H Warrants

      Series G and H Warrants were issued in connection with the sale of our
      common stock in June and July 2004. We sold units, each unit consisting of
      one share of common stock, three Series G Warrants, and one Series H
      Warrant, aggregating 3,900,000 shares of common stock at $0.25 per share,
      11,700,000 Series G Warrants at an exercise price of $0.25 per share, and
      3,900,000 Series H Warrants at an exercise price of $0.25 per share,
      generating cash proceeds of $772,000, net of cash offering costs of
      $125,000. In addition, 265,000 shares of common stock and 1,950,000
      warrants, with a combined fair market value at the date of issuance of
      $549,000 were issued to financial advisors to facilitate the transaction,
      thus increasing the total offering costs to $599,000.

                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

      In December 2004, the holders of the G warrants exercised their right to
      convert the warrant in 5.8 million shares of our common stock. As of
      December 31, 2004, no G warrants and 3.9 million H warrants were
      outstanding. We received no consideration related to the G warrant
      conversion into our common stock.

      Other Warrants

      In connection with the Bridge Notes and Senior Secured Notes (see Note 6)
      during 2003, we granted note holders an aggregate of 9,706,000 warrants at
      original exercise prices that ranged from $1.00 to $1.50 per share. The
      warrants may be exercised immediately, expire on the fifth anniversary of
      the date of issuance, and the exercise price is subject to adjustment for
      stock splits, dividends, reclassifications, and other typical corporate
      actions.

      Additionally, we granted 174,000 warrants to financial advisors associated
      with the issuance of the Bridge Notes. Financial advisors associated with
      the Secured Notes were granted 558,000 warrants.

      In conjunction with warrant exercises in November and December of 2004,
      6,560,000 of these warrants were exercised at $0.10 per warrant generating
      gross cash proceeds of $660,000. The holders of each exercised warrant
      will receive a new warrant with an exercise price of $0.10. In conjunction
      with this offering, we paid to financial advisors to help facilitate the
      transaction $64,000 in cash consideration and will issue 656,000 new
      warrants with an exercise price of $0.10. Effectively, we sold common
      stock for $0.10 per share and extend the terms of the warrants.

      In aggregate, as of December 31, 2004, there were 11,210,000 of these
      warrants outstanding.

      Stock Option Plans

      On August 1, 2001, the Board of Directors adopted our 2001 Stock Option
      Plan pursuant to which incentive stock options or non-statutory stock
      options to purchase up to 2,500,000 shares of common stock can be granted
      to employees, officers, directors, consultants, and independent
      contractors and other service providers.

      On May 3, 2002, the Board of Directors adopted our 2002 Stock Option Plan
      pursuant to which incentive stock options or non-statutory stock options
      to purchase up to 2,000,000 shares of common stock can be granted to
      employees, officers, directors, consultants, independent contractors, and
      other service providers.

      On a combined basis, the plans had 437,000 and 3,831,000 options
      outstanding at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, with exercise
      prices ranging from $0.65 to $1.00. At December 31, 2003, there were an
      aggregate of 3,600,000,517 options available under the plans for future
      grant.

      Options and Warrants Issued for Services

      In order to fund operating activities, we, from time to time, grant
      options or warrants to purchase common stock in lieu of cash in
      consideration for consulting, investment banking, or other services
      rendered, compensation, release of debt, and various other claims that
      parties may have against us. We granted options and warrants to purchase
      common stock during the years ended December 31, as follows:

      The fair value of certain of these options and warrants are being
      amortized over their respective vesting periods, which range from zero to
      36 months. For the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, $185,000 and
      $708,000 was amortized to expense, respectively. The fair value of
      unamortized options and warrants issued for services at December 31, 2004
      and 2003 was $122.000 and $207,000, respectively.

      During June and July 2004 in connection with the common stock offering, we
      granted an aggregate of 2,000,000 warrants to acquire common stock to
      investment advisors with an exercise price of $1.25 per share.
      Additionally, during 2004, we issued 300,000 warrants to acquire common
      stock with exercise prices that ranged from $0.89 to $1.30 per share to
      various advisors.

                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

      In 2004, we granted 150,000 options to an advisor to purchase common stock
      at an exercise price of $0.65 per share.

      Per FIN No. 44, "Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock
      Compensation," a non-cash charge to expense is required if the price of
      our common stock on the last trading day of a reporting period is greater
      than the exercise price of certain stock options and warrants issued. The
      requirements of FIN No. 44 may also result in a credit to expense to the
      extent that the trading price declines from the trading price as of the
      end of the previous reporting period, provided however that a credit is
      not recorded to the extent our common stock trades below the exercise
      price of the options or warrants. In accordance with FIN No. 44, we adjust
      expense upward or downward on a monthly basis based on the trading price
      at the end of each period. As a result, we recorded expense of $255,000
      during the year ended December 31, 2003, which represents the fair value
      of the effective re-pricing of the options using the Black-Scholes
      option-pricing model at the date of the amendments. Due to a decline in
      the trading price of the Company's common stock, there was a reduction in
      personnel costs of $1,755,000 for the adjustments of the variable award in
      the year ended December 31, 2004.

      Options and Warrants Issued to Employees

      During 2004, we granted 80,000 warrants with an exercise price of $0.54
      per share to several employees

      In accordance with FIN No. 44, we adjust expense upward or downward on a
      monthly basis based on the trading price at the end of each period. As a
      result, we recorded a net credit to compensation expense of approximately
      $1,755,000 during the year ended December 31, 2004.

      During August 2003, concurrent with the ENI Acquisition and the Series D
      Preferred Stock private placement, we executed a second amendment to the
      Officer Warrants that provided for the granting of an additional 5,000,000
      warrants with an exercise price of $0.01 per share and eliminated the
      full-ratchet dilution provision, as defined. The new warrants were 100%
      vested on the date of grant and had a fair value of $6.8 million, which
      was charged to compensation expense during the year ended December 31,
      2003.

      In July 2002, we granted 30,000 options to an employee with an exercise
      price of $2.40, vesting quarterly over a three-year period commencing
      October 17, 2002. The options were cancelled in 2002.

      In January 2002, we issued 125,000 options to an employee under our 2001
      Stock Option Plan. The options have an exercise price of $1.00 per share,
      expire in four years, and vest quarterly, 40,000 in the first year, 45,000
      in the second year, and 40,000 in the third year. The fair value of the
      options using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model was determined to be
      zero.

      Net operating loss carry forwards are available to reduce future taxable
      income. However, a change in ownership, as defined by federal income tax
      regulations, could significantly limit our ability to utilize our U.S. net
      operating loss carry forwards. Additionally, because federal tax laws
      limit the time during which the net operating loss carry forwards may be
      applied against future taxes, if we fail to generate taxable income prior
      to the expiration dates, we may not be able to fully utilize the net
      operating loss carry forwards to reduce future income taxes.

      As we have had cumulative losses and there is no assurance of future
      taxable income, valuation allowances have been recorded to fully offset
      the deferred tax asset at December 31, 2004 and 2003. During the year
      ended December 31, 2004, a current income tax benefit of $3,778,000 was
      offset by an equal deferred income tax provision primarily related to the
      increase in the valuation allowance. The valuation allowance increased
      $11,200,000 during 2004 due to our current period net loss. Due to this
      increase in the valuation allowance, the effective tax rate has been
      reduced to 0% for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003. As of
      December 31, 2004, we had net operating loss carry forwards for federal
      income tax reporting purposes of approximately $28,158,000 which expire
      through 2024. The utilization of such operating losses may be limited.

Note 12 - Related Party Transactions

      From time to time, we engage our directors, shareholders, or other related
      parties for consulting services related to investment, acquisition, or
      other activities in the normal course of business. We believe that all of
      these transactions are conducted at an "arms-length." Fair market value of
      securities issued in these transactions, including stock, options, and
      warrants, is listed below where applicable and calculated using the
      Black-Scholes Pricing Model as of the date of issuance or grant.

      Officers and Directors

      During 2004, we issued 165,000 and 75,000 shares of restricted common
      stock to Michael Cardamone and D. Clay Coffeen, respectively, in exchange
      for director services for a combined fair market value of $47,000.

      During 2004, $35,000 was either paid directly or amounts paid on behalf of
      Mr. Hannah, our Chairman. These amounts were paid for services requested
      by management that were deemed outside the scope of his role as Chairman.

      In connection with the departure of the former Chairman and Chief
      Executive Officer in January 2004, we executed a severance agreement that
      provides for cash payments of $244,000 ($119,000 due within eight days of
      execution, $20,000 due on each first day of July, August, and September
      2004, and $22,000 due on each first day of October, November, and December
      2004) and 600,000 shares of the Company's common stock, valued at
      $498,000, due within eleven days of execution and included in a pending
      Registration Statement initially filed January 14, 2004. In addition, we
      agreed to continue to pay Mr. Edson's medical benefits until the earlier
      of (i) July 31, 2005, or (ii) the date he becomes eligible to be covered
      under another program. However, due to certain differences between the
      parties, in August 2004, the parties agreed that we would issue 100,000
      shares of our common stock in exchange for complete settlement of the
      severance agreement. As of September 30, 2004, we had no further
      obligations to Mr. Edson.

                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

      In March and April 2004, we transacted a common stock private placement
      (see Note 6) for which finder's fees of 8% in cash and 8% in common stock
      were authorized to various parties to facilitate the transaction. We paid
      $21,000 in cash and issued 20,800 shares of common stock, valued at
      $17,000, to a company whose principal is our former Chief Executive
      Officer and Chairman for such services. In addition, 110,000 of the
      510,000 common shares issued to investors in this private placement,
      valued at $110,000, were family members of our former Chief Executive
      Officer and Chairman.

      Shareholders

      We are party to two voting agreements as follows:

      MAF Voting Agreement. In connection with our November 2002 MAF
      Acquisition, we entered into a stockholders' agreement with Stuart A.
      Benson, Donald C. Hannah, Bradley D. Edson, Martin Gerst, William Coppel,
      Phil Maffetone, Kenneth Martin, Leslie C. Quick, III, and Thomas C. Quick
      (the "MAF Voting Agreement"). Pursuant to the MAF Voting Agreement:

      o     for so long as Messrs. Edson, Benson, Hannah and Gerst beneficially
            own an aggregate of at least 65% of the shares of common stock held
            by them on the date of the agreement, they will be entitled to
            nominate and have elected four directors acceptable to them in their
            sole discretion; and

      o     for so long as Messrs. Coppel, Maffetone, Quick and Quick
            beneficially own an aggregate of at least 65% of the shares of
            common stock held by them on the date of the agreement, they will be
            entitled to nominate and have elected three Directors.

      Each of the parties to the MAF Voting Agreement has agreed to vote the
      shares of common stock beneficially owned by them on the date of the
      agreement in favor of the other group's nominees. Each of the parties have
      further agreed that they will vote in favor of the other parties' nominee
      or nominees, and will not take any action, or cause us to take any action,
      to remove, with or without cause, a Director nominated by any of the
      parties. Because Messrs. Coppel, Maffetone, Quick, and Quick do not still
      beneficially own the required 65%, they no longer have the right to
      nominate and have elected any Directors.

      ENI Voting Agreement. In connection with our August 2003 ENI Acquisition,
      we entered into a stockholders' agreement with Stuart A. Benson, Donald C.
      Hannah, SkyePharma PLC, Stephen Morris, and Fifth Avenue Capital, Inc.
      (the "ENI Voting Agreement"). Pursuant to the ENI Voting Agreement, as
      amended:

      o     for so long as Messrs. Benson and Hannah (the "Founders")
            beneficially own an aggregate of at least 65% of the shares of
            common stock owned by them on the date of the agreement, they will
            be entitled to nominate three directors;

      o     for so long as Stephen Morris and Fifth Avenue Capital beneficially
            own an aggregate of at least 65% of the shares of common stock owned
            by them on the date of the agreement, they will be entitled to
            nominate one director; and

      o     for so long as SkyePharma beneficially owns an aggregate of at least
            65% of the shares of common stock owned by it on the date of the
            agreement, it is entitled to nominate one director.

      Each of the parties to the ENI Voting Agreement has agreed to vote the
      shares of common stock beneficially owned by them on the date of the
      agreement in favor of the other group's nominees. Each of the parties have
      further agreed that they will vote in favor of the other parties' nominee
      or nominees, and will not take any action, or cause us to take any action,
      to remove, with or without cause, a Director nominated by any of the
      parties.

      We have a consulting arrangement with Stephen Chen, Chairman and Chief
      Executive Officer of Strong International, Inc., the sole shareholder of
      the outstanding Series C Preferred Stock, to assist in creating strategic
      alliances in China. During 2004, we paid Mr. Chen $19,000 related to such
      matters. In 2004, 250,000 additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock
      valued at $250,000 were issued in satisfaction of dividends owed to the
      holder of the Series B Preferred Stock. Simultaneously, all 1,250,000
      shares of Series B Preferred Stock converted into 1,250,000 shares of
      common stock. Additionally, Mr. Chen participated in the November and
      December warrant offering and exercised 612,000 warrants to purchase our
      common stock at an exercise price of $0.10 per warrant.

      We have several agreements with HCFP/Brenner Securities, LLC ("Brenner"),
      a stockholder, to provide consulting, investment, or financial services.
      During 2004, the following amounts were paid to Brenner in exchange for
