MANNATECH, INCORPORATED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Mannatech, Incorporated (the "Company") was incorporated in the State of Texas on November 4, 1993, as Emprise International, Inc. Effective October 25, 1995, the Company changed its name to Mannatech, Incorporated. The Company, located in Coppell, Texas, develops and sells proprietary nutritional supplements and topical products through a network marketing system. The Company currently sells its products in the United States, Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom and Japan. Independent associates ("Associates") purchase products at wholesale for the primary purpose of selling to retail consumers or for personal consumption. In addition, Associates earn commissions on their downline growth and sales volume. The Company has eight wholly-owned subsidiaries located throughout the world for the purpose of conducting business in the related country. The wholly-owned subsidiaries are as follows: Wholly-owned Subsidiary Dated Began Name Date Incorporated Location of Subsidiary Operations - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mannatech Australia Pty Limited April 22, 1998 St. Leonards, Australia October 1, 1998 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mannatech Limited December 1, 1998 Republic of Ireland Dormant pending start up operations - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mannatech Ltd.

Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair statement of the Company's financial information for the periods presented. The consolidated results of operations of any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the consolidated results of operations to be expected for the fiscal year. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. 4
Earnings (loss) per Share The Company calculates earnings (loss) per share pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share" ("FAS 128"). FAS 128 requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share ("EPS") on the face of the consolidated statement of operations for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation. Basic EPS calculations are based on the weighted- average number of common shares outstanding during the period, while diluted EPS calculations are calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding during each period. At June 30, 2000, all of the 2,028,300 common stock options were excluded from the dilutive EPS calculation as their effect was antidilutive. The following data show the amounts used in computing earnings (loss) per share and the effect on the weighted-average number of shares of dilutive common stock for the three months ended June 30, 1999 and 2000. The amounts are rounded to the nearest thousands except for per share amounts. 1999 2000 ------------------------------------- -------------------------------------- Income Shares Per Share Income (Loss) Shares Per Share (Numerator) (Denominator) Amount (Numerator) (Denominator) Amount ----------- ------------- --------- ------------ ------------- --------- Basic EPS: Net income (loss) available to to common shareholders $ 2,182 24,160 $ 0.09 $ (590) 24,989 ($0.02) Effect of dilutive securities: Stock options -- 1,409 -- -- ----------- ------------- ------------ ------------- Diluted EPS: Net income (loss) available to common shareholders plus assumed conversions $ 2,182 25,569 $ 0.08 $ (590) 24,989 ($0.02) ============ ============= ========= ============ ============= ========= The following data show the amounts used in computing earnings (loss) per share and the effect on the weighted-average number of shares of dilutive common stock for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 2000.

NOTE 2 INVENTORIES Inventories consist of raw materials and finished goods and are stated at the lower of cost (using the first-in, first-out method) or market. At December 31, 1999 and June 30, 2000 inventories, rounded to the nearest thousands, consist of the following: 1999 2000 -------- -------- Raw materials.................................... $ 5,788 $ 5,799 Finished goods................................... 7,530 8,888 -------- -------- $ 13,318 $ 14,687 ======== ======== NOTE 3 ASSET IMPAIRMENT LOSS In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of," the Company recorded an impairment loss on the long-lived asset of its subsidiary Internet Health Group, Inc. as the trend in sales for the subsidiary indicated that the undiscounted future cash flows from its operation would be less than the carrying value of the long-lived asset related to their operation. Accordingly, in the quarter ended June 30, 2000, the Company recognized an asset impairment loss of $870,000. The impairment loss was measured as the difference between the carrying value of the asset and the fair value of the asset based on discounted estimated future cash flows. NOTE 4 RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission") issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, " Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" ("SAB 101") which provides guidance on revenue recognition issues. In June 2000, the Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101B, "Second Amendment: Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" which delayed the implementation of SAB 101 until the fourth fiscal quarter of fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1999. Management does not believe the implementation of SAB 101 will have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations The following discussion is intended to assist in the understanding of Mannatech's financial position and results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2000 compared to the same period in 1999. The Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes should be referred to in conjunction with this discussion. Unless we state otherwise, all financial information presented below, throughout this report and in the Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes includes Mannatech and all of its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. Overview We develop and sell proprietary nutritional supplements and topical products through a network marketing system. We currently sell our products in the United States, Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom and beginning on June 26, 2000 in Japan, through a worldwide network of approximately 267,000 active associates as of June 30, 2000, compared to approximately 246,000 active associates as of June 30, 1999. We are also exploring the most efficient way to enter the New Zealand market either later this year or early next year. Our basic earnings (loss) per share was ($0.04) for the six-months ended June 30, 2000 compared to $0.22 per share for the six-months ended June 30, 1999. This was primarily due to a decrease in sales of $8.1 million, $2.0 million of expenses for our subsidiary, Internet Health Group, Inc., including a one time write-off of the fixed asset software, totaling $870,000, $3.0 million of start up expenses relating to our international expansion into Japan and some additional expenses incurred with the opening of the United Kingdom operations in November 1999. We expect a decrease in start up expenses and operating expenses for our subsidiaries in the third quarter of 2000. 6
Internet Health Group, Inc., our subsidiary, which sells various nonproprietary vitamins and nutritional supplements through its website - clickwell.com, has continued to report disappointing results since its inception - -------------- in December 1999. For the six months ended June 30, 2000, the subsidiary had a loss before income taxes of approximately $2.0 million, which included the write off of their fixed asset software totaling $870,000. Our management is currently researching possible alternatives concerning this subsidiary. Management has significantly reduced the subsidiary's future operating expenses; however, the subsidiary has two lease agreements and one agreement relating to its website that are noncancelable and remain in effect through December 2002. The remaining payments, reduced by the subleases relating to these three noncancelable agreements through December 2002 are approximately $419,000. During the six months ended June 30, 2000, the percentages of consolidated net sales for the United States, Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom and Japan were 78.3%, 13.2%, 6.5%, 1.4%, and 0.6%, respectively. In the future we expect our international operations to account for an increasing percentage of our consolidated net sales, especially with the opening of our Japan operations on June 26, 2000. October 1998 marked the beginning of our international expansion and it also marked the beginning of the shrinking of our growth rate in net sales generated in the United States and Canada. In addition, in the second quarter of 2000, United States, Canadian and Australia net sales continued to decrease as compared to the same period in 1999. We believe these decreases are due to our associates in the United States, Canada and Australia concentrating their efforts on the development of their presence in the United Kingdom and Japan and competitive Internet networking companies distracting many of our active associates. In addition, associates may have been concerned about recent management changes that occurred in the second quarter of 2000 and the decline of our stock price by heavy trading during the second quarter. To counter this decline we intend to refocus everyone's efforts on our future growth by increasing the number of active associates, introducing new products and revamping our training and marketing materials. Our revenues are primarily derived from sales of our products and our associate starter and renewal packs, which include some combination of our products and promotional materials. The purchase of a starter or renewal pack allows the associate to purchase products at wholesale prices. If the associate purchases a pack with a wholesale price of $300 or higher, the associate also receives a $50 credit toward admission to one of our corporate events. We offer a comparable associate starter pack in each country in which we do business; however, each country has different regulatory guidelines that must be followed and therefore not all types of packs are offered in all countries. We generally recognize revenues when products or promotional materials are shipped. Our revenues are based primarily on the wholesale prices of the products sold. On average, the wholesale value of the nutritional and topical products contained in each of our packs is between 60% and 70% of the total wholesale value of the packs. On average, the promotional materials value contained in each of the packs are between 30% and 40% of the total wholesale value of the packs. Revenues from promotional packs are allocated between products and events admission based on the proportionate fair value of these items. We defer revenue received from the sale of our promotional packs to the extent that it is greater than the wholesale value of the individual items included in such packs. Allocated event revenues are also deferred. All deferred revenue is amortized over a 12-month period. Total deferred revenue was approximately $845,000 and $847,000 at December 31, 1999 and June 30, 2000, respectively. Associates are compensated by commissions, which are our most significant expense; however, we do not intend for commissions to materially exceed 42% of commissionable net sales. Commissions are paid to associates based on the following: . their placement and position within our compensation plan; . volume of direct commissionable sales; and . number of new enrolled associates. 7
Our United States federal statutory tax rate is 35%. We pay taxes in Australia at a statutory tax rate of 36% and in the United Kingdom at 31%. We expect to pay taxes in Japan at a statutory tax rate of up to 54%. We also pay taxes in various state jurisdictions at an approximate average statutory tax rate of 3%. As our international expansion continues, a portion of our income will be subject to taxation in the countries in which we operate. We may receive foreign tax credits that would reduce the amount of United States taxes we owe, based upon the amount of foreign taxes paid. We may not be able to use all of such foreign tax credits in the United States. The use of the foreign tax credits is based upon the proportionate amount of net sales in each country. Because some of the countries that we have expanded to or plan to during 2000 and beyond may have maximum statutory tax rates higher than the United States tax rate, we may pay a higher overall effective tax rate on our consolidated operations. Results of Operations The following table summarizes Mannatech's operating results as a percentage of net sales for each of the periods indicated.

Net sales decreased (12.7%) to $39.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000 from $45.0 million for the comparable period in 1999. The net sales for United States, Canada and Australia decreased as compared to the same period in 1999. We believe this decrease was the result of many of our associates concentrating their efforts on developing a presence in Japan and concerns about recent management changes. The overall decrease was primarily composed of the following: . A $4.7 million increase from the sale of several new products introduced during the first six months of 2000 and the last six months of 1999. 8
. A ($9.9) million decrease in existing product sales resulting from a decrease in the volume of products sold, which was partially offset by the opening of the United Kingdom operations in November 1999. . A decrease of ($501,000) in associate pack sales resulting from a decrease in the number and a change in the mix of associate packs sold to new associates, which was partially offset by the slight increase in the number and mix of associate renewal packs sold. We are currently exploring ways to change our packs to increase the number of associate packs and renewal packs sold. Cost of Sales. Cost of sales decreased (5.6%) to $6.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000 from $7.2 million for the comparable period in 1999. As a percentage of net sales, cost of sales increased to 17.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2000 from 15.9% for the comparable period in 1999. The increase in cost of sales as a percentage of net sales was primarily due to a change in the product mix sold. The dollar amount decrease was due to the decrease in the volume of finished goods sold and the recording of an increase of $153,000 for write-offs of discontinued promotional materials, normal inventory shrinkage and inventory given away as samples and charitable contributions. Commissions. Commissions consist of payments to associates for sales activity and down line growth. Commissions decreased (16.6%) to $15.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000 from $18.7 million for the comparable period in 1999. As a percentage of net sales, commissions decreased to 39.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2000 from 41.5% for the comparable period in 1999. The decrease was the direct result of decreased commissionable sales partially offset by the start up of operations in the United Kingdom in November 1999 and Japan in June 2000. Gross Profit. Gross profit decreased (12.0%) to $16.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000 from $19.2 million for the comparable period in 1999. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit increased to 42.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2000 from 42.6% for the comparable period in 1999. These changes were primarily attributable to the factors described above. Selling and Administrative Expenses. Selling and administrative expenses consist of human resource expenses, including wages, bonuses, printing, marketing expenses and associate events and are a mixture of both fixed and variable expenses. Selling and administrative expenses increased 1.1% to $9.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000 from $8.9 million for the comparable period in 1999. As a percentage of net sales, selling and administrative expenses increased to 22.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2000 from 19.7% for the comparable period in 1999. The increase was due primarily to the following: . an increase of $270,000 related to printing costs associated with the expansion into new countries, the printing of various reports for public filings and hosting our annual shareholders meeting; . an increase of $113,000 related to freight costs associated with the expansion into new international markets partially offset by the decrease in freight due to decreased sales; . a decrease of ($115,000) in wages and benefits primarily due to the reduction in bonuses and contract labor, which was partially offset by increase due to international expansion; and . a decrease of ($225,000) for our national events and associate events. Other Operating Costs. Other operating costs include utilities, depreciation, office supplies and travel expenses. Other operating costs increased 16.2% to $7.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000 from $6.8 million for the comparable period in 1999. As a percentage of net sales, other operating costs increased to 20.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2000 from 14.9% for the comparable period in 1999. The dollar amount increase was primarily due to the following: . an increase of approximately $857,000 related to consulting services including accounting, legal and traveling for the start up of our international expansion into United Kingdom and Japan; 9
. an increase of approximately $370,000 related to various general and administrative expenses such as building rent for our overseas offices, insurance, depreciation, postage and telephone related to international expansion into United Kingdom and Japan; . approximately $450,000 increase in fees charged by third party processors for our international sales and distribution facilities; and . a net decrease of ($575,000) for the reduction of royalties due to the buyout of the royalty agreement with Ray Robbins in 1999. Write off of fixed asset. In the second quarter of 2000, management determined our subsidiary Internet Health Group, Inc.'s fixed asset with a book value of $870,000, was impaired and should be written off. The write off was a result of the poor performance of our subsidiary. Management has also reduced their future operating costs and is researching possible alternatives concerning this subsidiary. Interest Income. Interest income increased 113.1% to $179,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2000 from $84,000 for the comparable period in 1999. As a percentage of net sales, interest income increased to 0.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2000 from 0.2% for the comparable period in 1999. The dollar increase was due to certain investments. Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased (52.4%) to $20,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2000 from $42,000 for the comparable period in 1999. As a percentage of net sales, interest expense remained the same at 0.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2000 and for the comparable period in 1999. The decrease was due primarily to the reduction of the two lease agreements with a bank, to purchase various equipment for our warehouse and laboratory facility. Other Expense, Net. Other expense consists of tax penalties, miscellaneous income and nonoperating items. Other expense decreased 89.0% to $22,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2000 from $200,000 for the comparable period in 1999. As a percentage of net sales, other expense decreased to 0.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2000 from 0.5% for the comparable period in 1999. For the three months ended June 30, 2000, other expense consisted of $10,000 in sales tax payments and $20,000 in currency exchange losses due to translation fluctuations. For the three months ended June 30, 1999, other expense consisted of tax penalties of $91,000, sales tax payments of $44,000, loss on abandonment of computer hardware of $42,000, settlement of a lawsuit of $75,000 and ($38,000) of currency exchange gains due to translation fluctuations. Income Tax (Expense) Benefit. Income tax (expense) benefit was $216,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2000 and ($1.2) million for the comparable period in 1999. The effective tax rate decreased to 26.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2000 from 35.9% for the comparable period in 1999. Our effective tax rate decreased primarily as a result of recording certain nondeductible expenses and income related to foreign operations. Net Income (Loss). For the three months ended June 30, 2000 we had a net loss of ($590,000) compared to net income of $2.2 million for the comparable period in 1999. As a percentage of net sales, (1.5%) for the three months ended June 30, 2000 compared to 4.9% in 1999. The dollar amount of the decrease was due primarily to net sales decreasing by (12.7%), expenses incurred related to our international expansion totaling $3.0 million and $2.0 million including the $870,000 write off of the fixed asset, for our Internet Health Group, Inc. subsidiary. Six months ended June 30, 2000 compared with the six months ended June 30, 1999 Net Sales. Net sales decreased (9.2%) to $79.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from $87.7 million for the comparable period in 1999. The net sales for United States, Canada and Australia decreased as compared to the same period in 1999. We believe this decrease was the result of many of our associates concentrating their efforts on developing a presence in the United Kingdom and Japan as well as concerns over recent management changes. The overall decrease in net sales was primarily composed of the following: 10
. An $8.8 million increase from the sale of several new products introduced during the first six months of 2000 and the last six months of 1999. . A ($16.3) million decrease in existing product sales resulting from a decrease in the volume of products sold, which was partially offset by the opening of the United Kingdom operations in November 1999. . A decrease of ($543,000) in associate pack sales resulting from a decrease in the number and change in the mix of associate packs sold to new associates which was partially offset by an increase in the number and mix of associate renewal packs sold. The overall increase in the number of packs sold but a decrease in dollars of packs sold is a result of our international expansion and our concentrated efforts on our associate renewal program. We will continue to explore new strategies to further the increase in associate pack sales and renewal pack sales and expect the international expansion to increase associate pack sales. Cost of Sales. Cost of sales decreased (2.1%) to $13.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from $14.1 million for the comparable period in 1999. As a percentage of net sales, cost of sales increased to 17.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from 16.0% for the comparable period in 1999. The increase in cost of sales as a percentage of net sales was primarily due to a change in product mix sold. The decrease in the dollar amount was primarily due to the decrease in volume of finished goods sold and the recording of an increase of $375,000 for write-offs of discontinued promotional materials, normal inventory shrinkage and inventory given away as samples and charitable contributions. Commissions. Commissions consist of payments to associates for sales activity and downline growth. Commissions decreased (10.0%) to $32.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from $36.0 million for the comparable period in 1999. As a percentage of net sales, commissions decreased to 40.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from 41.1% for the comparable period in 1999. The decrease was the direct result of decrease in commissionable sales which was partially offset by the following: . an increase in the number of associate packs sold; . the introduction of new incentive programs for associates, including the fast start bonus program in the fourth quarter of 1999; and . the start up of operations in the United Kingdom in November 1999 and Japan in June 2000. Gross Profit. Gross profit decreased (11.2%) to $33.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from $37.6 million for the comparable period in 1999. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit decreased to 41.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from 42.9% for the comparable period in 1999. These changes were primarily attributable to the factors described above. Selling and Administrative Expenses. Selling and administrative expenses consist of human resource expenses, including wages, bonuses, printing, marketing expenses and associate events and are a mixture of both fixed and variable expenses. Selling and administrative expenses increased 8.6% to $18.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from $17.4 million for the comparable period in 1999. As a percentage of net sales, selling and administrative expenses increased to 23.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from 19.8% for the comparable period in 1999. The dollar amount of the increase was due primarily to the following: . $558,000 increase related to our annual national events, which includes hosting events in Australia, United Kingdom and Japan and an increase in the attendance of our annual national event held in March 2000; . $300,000 increase related to mailing and printing costs associated with international expansion, reports for public filings and hosting our first annual shareholders meeting; . $327,000 increase related to advertising for our Internet Health Group, Inc. subsidiary and for our international operations; . $220,000 increase in wages and benefits primarily due to international expansion; and 11
. $129,000 increase related to freight costs associated with our personal consumption plan introduced in Japan. Other Operating Costs. Other operating costs include utilities, depreciation, office supplies and travel expenses. Other operating costs increased 27.3% to $15.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from $12.1 million for the comparable period in 1999. As a percentage of net sales, other operating costs increased to 19.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from 13.8% for the comparable period in 1999. The increase in the dollar amount was primarily due to the following: . an increase of approximately $1.5 million related to consulting services including accounting, legal and traveling for the start up of our international expansion into the United Kingdom and Japan; . an increase of approximately $1.5 million related to various general and administrative expenses such as building rent for our overseas offices, insurance, depreciation, postage and telephone related to our international expansion into the United Kingdom and Japan; . approximately $755,000 increase in fees charged by third party processors for our international sales and distribution facilities; and . a decrease of ($575,000) related to the buyout of the Ray Robbins royalty agreement in 1999. Write off of fixed asset. In the second quarter of 2000, management determined our Internet Health Group, Inc. Subsidiary's fixed asset with a book value of $870,000, was impaired and should be written off. The write off was a result of the continuation of the poor performance of our subsidiary. Management has also reduced their future operating costs and is researching possible alternatives concerning this subsidiary. Interest Income. Interest income increased 143.9% to $422,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from $173,000 for the comparable period in 1999. As a percentage of net sales, interest income increased to 0.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from 0.2% for the comparable period in 1999. The dollar increase was primarily due to investing in certain investments. Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased (53.3%) to $43,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from $92,000 for the comparable period in 1999. As a percentage of net sales, interest expense decreased to 0.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from 0.1% for the comparable period in 1999. The decrease was due primarily to the reduction of the two lease agreements with a bank, to purchase various equipment for our warehouse and laboratory facility. Other Expense, Net. Other expense consists of tax penalties, miscellaneous income and nonoperating items. Other expense decreased (38.5%) to $134,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from $218,000 for the comparable period in 1999. As a percentage of net sales, other expense decreased to 0.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from 0.3% for the comparable period in 1999. For the six months ended June 30, 2000, other expense consisted of approximately $36,000 in sales tax payments and tax penalties and approximately $75,000 in currency exchange losses due to translation fluctuations. For the six months ended June 30, 1999, other expense consisted primarily of tax penalties of $91,000, $36,000 currency exchange gains due to translation fluctuations, $42,000 loss from the abandonment of computer hardware and miscellaneous expenses. Income Tax (Expense) Benefit. Income tax (expense) benefit was $487,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and ($2.9) million for the comparable period in 1999. The effective tax rate decreased to 30.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from 36.5% for the comparable period in 1999. Our effective tax rate decreased primarily as a result of recording certain nondeductible expenses and income related to foreign operations. Net Income (Loss). For the six months ended June 30, 2000 we had a net loss of ($1.1) million compared to net income of $5.1 million for the comparable period in 1999. As a percentage of net sales the net income (loss) was (1.4%) for the six months ended June 30, 2000 compared to 5.8% in 1999. The dollar amount of the decrease was due to net sales decreasing by 12
(9.2%), the $870,000 write off of fixed asset and $3.0 million in expenses incurred related to our international expansion and associate events hosted by Mannatech. Liquidity and Capital Resources In February 1999, we received approximately $9.2 million in net proceeds from the sale of our common stock in our initial public offering. In the initial public offering, we sold 1,500,000 shares of our common stock, at $8.00 per share and have used all of the proceeds. We used approximately $6.3 million of our proceeds from the initial public offering for international expansion, primarily for product registration, initial inventory requirements and similar items and have used the remaining $2.9 million to fund working capital and for general corporate purposes. In February 1999, we also received $641,271 from the exercise of 475,015 outstanding warrants at $1.35 per share. Our primary capital requirement is to fund working capital to support our international growth. We financed our operations primarily through cash flows from operating activities and proceeds from our initial public offering. As a result of our expenditures on the facilities, equipment and personnel necessary to support our international expansion, we had working capital of $11.7 million as of December 31, 1999 compared to working capital of $10.6 million at June 30, 2000. For the first six months of 1999, we invested approximately $592,000 relating to property and equipment including the expansion into Australia. During the first six months of 2000 we invested approximately $3.4 million in property and equipment including expansion into the United Kingdom and Japan. These projects were financed through operating cash flow in 1999 and 2000. We paid approximately $1.3 million in dividends to our shareholders in January and February of 1999. For the six months ended June 30, 2000, current liabilities increased due to an increase in payables and inventory purchases relating to our expansion into the United Kingdom and Japan. We believe our existing facilities are sufficient to support near-term growth. In March and August 1998, we entered into two capital leases with principal amounts of $631,000 and $841,000, respectively. These capital leases bear interest at 9.3%, are collateralized by the leased assets and are payable in thirty-six monthly installments. In July 1998, we entered into a thirty-six month, unsecured note payable with a finance company to finance our three-year product liability insurance premium. The initial principal amount of this note was $435,670, the interest rate is 8.0% and monthly installments are due through December 2000. Net cash provided by operating activities was $3.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 compared to $672,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000. During 1999, an increase in net sales was partially offset by increases in inventories and other expenses related to our international expansion and a decrease in income tax payable of approximately $3.0 million from the tax benefit related to the exercise of warrants and options. During the six months ended June 30, 2000, we had a net loss and an increase in inventories and payables related to our continued international expansion. For the six months of 2000, we have spent approximately $3.0 million and expect to spend up to an additional $500,000 for the start up operations in Japan and the United Kingdom. Net cash used in investing activities was $955,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1999 compared to $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000. In 1999, these activities consisted primarily of purchases of computer hardware, internal development of computer software and investing the net proceeds from the initial public offering into investments offset by the repayment of the notes receivable due from certain shareholders to us of approximately $974,000. We believe the new facilities and software program should be sufficient for our immediate needs. In the first six months of 2000, these activities consisted of purchases of computer hardware and software, build out of our Japan facility and investments earning interest. During the remainder of 2000, we intend to spend up to an additional $300,000 for translation of our software into other languages and additional purchases of equipment for our international expansion into Japan and New Zealand. Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities totaled $10.7 million and ($65,000) for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 2000, respectively. We paid dividends on a monthly basis to our shareholders in the amount of $0.02- $0.06 per share and paid dividends each month until the completion of the initial public offering on February 12, 1999. Our Board of Directors intends, from time-to-time, to reevaluate this policy after considering relevant factors, including the level of our net income and alternative uses of retained earnings. In February 1999, the gross initial public 13
offering proceeds of approximately $12.0 million were received. In the first six months of 2000, we received approximately $289,000 related to the exercise of 206,200 stock options at a price per share ranging from $1.35 to $2.00. Our existing capital resources, including cash provided by operating activities, bank borrowings and suspension of dividend payments to shareholders, should be adequate to fund our operations for at least the next 12 months. We have no present commitments or agreements with respect to any acquisitions or purchases of manufacturing facilities or new technologies; however, we have committed to loaning Mr. Fioretti $500,000 and purchasing up to $1.5 million of stock from Mr. Charles E. Fioretti. See Item 5 on page 18 for a summary of terms. Mannatech also has agreed to reserve up to $2.0 million to buy back our stock, on the open market, under certain price conditions. Changes could also occur that would consume available capital resources faster than anticipated. Our capital requirements depend on numerous factors, including: . the timing and pace of our entry into international markets; . growth in the number of associates; and . our research and development efforts. If our existing capital resources are insufficient to meet our capital requirements, we will be required to raise additional funds. We cannot be sure that additional funding, if necessary, will be available on favorable terms, if at all. Year 2000 Prior to January 1, 2000, there was a great deal of concern regarding the ability of computers to adequately distinguish 21st century dates from 20th century dates due to the two-digit date fields used by many computer systems and software programs. This inability to distinguish whether "00" means 1900 or 2000 may have resulted in failures or the creation of erroneous results. Most reports to date, however, are that computer systems are functioning normally and the compliance and remediation work accomplished leading up to 2000 was effective and prevented such problems. We believe that our current versions of software products licensed from third parties are Year 2000 compliant; however, some of our suppliers may be running earlier versions of software products that may not be Year 2000 compliant. We have evaluated the Year 2000 readiness of our vendors and third parties and found no system failures. Furthermore, we currently are unaware of any material operational issues or costs associated with preparing and maintaining our computer and technology systems for the Year 2000; however, we may still experience material unanticipated problems and costs caused by undetected errors or defects, which could seriously harm our business. Our total cost associated with Year 2000 identification, remediation and testing was approximately $100,000 and was funded through our operating cash flows. None of our applications failed to perform on January 1, 2000; however, computer experts have warned that there may still be residual consequences of the change in centuries. If we experience any application failures in 2000, it could result in a decrease in sales of our products or an increase in the allocation of resources to address the problem with the Year 2000. If this should occur, we would have to resort to temporary manual processing, which is not expected to have a material adverse impact on our short-term operations. Recent Financial Accounting Standards Board Statements In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Financial Accounting Standard No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative, Instruments and Hedging Activities." This statement establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative financial instruments, including certain derivative financial instruments imbedded in other contracts and for hedging activities. In June 1999, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Financial Accounting Standard No. 137, which defers the effective date of Financial Accounting Standard No. 133 to fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. As we do not have any derivative financial instruments, this pronouncement is not expected to impact us. 14
In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission") issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" ("SAB 101") which provides guidance on revenue recognition issues. In June 2000, the Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101B, "Second Amendment: Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" which delayed the implementation of SAB 101 until the fourth fiscal quarter of fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1999. We do not believe the implementation of SAB 101 will have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations. Forward-Looking Statements Some of our statements under "Legal Proceedings," "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk", the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, "Other Information" and elsewhere in this report may constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are subject to certain events, risks and uncertainties that maybe outside of our control. These forward-looking statements include statements of: . management's plans and objectives for our future operations and future economic performance; . our capital budget and future capital requirements; . meeting our existing and future operating needs; . the level of future expenditures; including plans for any of our subsidiaries; . planned international expansion; and . the outcome of regulatory and litigation matters, and the assumptions described in this report underlying such forward-looking statements. Actual results and developments may differ materially from those expressed in or implied by such statements due to a number of factors, including, without limitation: . those described in the context of such forward-looking statements; . future product development and manufacturing costs; . timely development and acceptance of new products; . the entrance into new countries and markets; . the impact of competitive products and pricing; . the political and economic climate in which we conduct operations; and . the risk factors described from time to time in other documents and reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In some cases, forward-looking statements are identified by terminology such as "may," "will," "should," "could," "expects," "plans," "intends," "anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "approximates," "predicts," "potential" or "continue" or the negative of such terms and other comparable terminology. 15
Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Moreover, neither we nor anyone else assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of such statements and we are under no duty to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this report. Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk We do not engage in trading market risk sensitive instruments and do not purchase as investments, hedges that are likely to expose us to certain types of market risk including interest rate, commodity price or equity price risk. We have purchased investments but there has been no material change in our exposure to interest rate risk from our investments. We have not issued any debt instruments, entered into any forward or futures contracts, purchased any options or entered into any swaps. We also are exposed to certain other market risks, including changes in currency exchange rates as measured against the United States dollar. The value of the United States dollar affects our financial results. Changes in exchange rates may positively or negatively affect our sales (as expressed in United States dollars), gross margins, operating expenses and retained earnings. When the United States dollar increases against currencies in which we sell products or a weakening exchange rate against currencies in which we incur costs, our net sales or costs may be adversely affected. We have established policies, procedures, and internal processes governing the management of market risk and the use of any financial instruments to manage our exposure to such risks. The sensitivity of earnings and cash flows to variability in currency exchange rate is assessed by applying an appropriate range of potential rate fluctuations to our assets, obligations and projected transactions denominated in foreign currency. Based upon our overall currency rate exposure at June 30, 2000, we do not believe that our exposure to exchange rate fluctuations will have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations. However, as we have expanded into Japan the Japanese Yen will become our primary currency for which we will have exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk. The Japan Yen fluctuated during the first six months of 2000 from 101.3 to 111.7 Japanese Yen to the United States dollar. Given the uncertainty of the exchange rate fluctuation against the United States dollar, we cannot determine the dollar effect, if any, of the fluctuation on our future business, product pricing, results of operations or financial condition. All statements other than historical information incorporated in this Item 3 are forward-looking statements. The actual impact of future market changes could differ materially due to, among other things, factors discussed in this report. PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings No material changes in, or additions to, the legal proceedings previously reported in Mannatech's Annual Report on Form 10-K for 1999 as filed with the Commission on March 30, 2000 or in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for our first quarter of 2000 as filed with the Commission on May 15, 2000. Item 2. Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds (a) Not applicable. (b) Not applicable. (c) None. (d) Use of Proceeds from Registered Securities. On February 12, 1999, we completed our initial public offering. In the initial public offering, we and certain shareholders sold an aggregate of 3,056,016 shares of our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, at a price of $8.00 per share. None of such payments were direct or indirect payments to directors, officers, affiliates or 10% beneficial owners of Mannatech. No underwriter was involved in the initial public offering. 16
Of the total number of shares sold in the initial public offering, 1,556,016 shares of common stock were sold by certain shareholders of Mannatech at a price of $8.00 per share, yielding gross proceeds to them, of $12,448,128. The net proceeds paid to the selling shareholders were $11,950,203, after deducting the placement agent's fee of approximately $497,925. The remaining 1,500,000 shares sold in the initial public offering were sold by Mannatech at a price of $8.00 per share, yielding gross proceeds to Mannatech of $12 million. The net proceeds were $9,240,958, after deducting: . deferred offering costs of approximately $1,963,431; . legal, accounting, printing and other costs of approximately $406,385; and . the placement agent's fee of $389,226, net of reimbursement of $90,774 in expenses by the placement agent. We have used all of our $9.2 million net proceeds, as planned, as follows: . $6,265,858 of the net proceeds was used to pay for our expansion into Australia, the United Kingdom and Japan; and . $2,975,100 of the net proceeds was used to fund our current working capital needs.

Mr. Caster resigned due to the decision to remove him as President, replace him with Terry L. Persinger and the refusal to accept his demand to be named as the sole Chairman of the Board. Mr. Robert M. Henry was appointed to replace Mr. Samuel L. Caster as a Class I director. On June 1, 2000, a consultancy agreement between Mannatech and Mr. Samuel L. Caster was entered into in which Mr. Caster is retained as a Global Vision Architect Consultant for an annual fee of $600,000 plus all expenses, a leased automobile and insurance. The agreement is for two years with annual renewal options. On June 26, 2000, Mr. Chris T. Sullivan who was a Class II, independent director, resigned from our Board of Directors to pursue various personal ventures. On August 2, 2000, the Board of Directors unanimously voted Mr. Samuel L. Caster as a Class II director to replace Mr. Chris T. Sullivan; however, Mr. Caster is prohibited from becoming an independent director due to history with Mannatech. In the future, the Board of Directors plans to add three more independent directors as they believe this would strengthen our board. The Board is currently interested in candidates who have multi-level marketing experience. On August 8, 2000, an agreement between Mannatech and Mr. Charles E. Fioretti was entered into to purchase some of his stock and enter into an eighteen month lock up agreement. The terms of the agreement is as follows: For Charles E. Fioretti: . On August 8, 2000, Mannatech will loan Mr. Charles Fioretti $500,000 at an interest rate of 6.9% that will be imputed but not charged. The outstanding balance of the note will be repaid in six successive with monthly installments of 26,455 shares of common stock ($83,333.33 divided by the closing price on August 8, 2000 at $3.50 times 0.90) beginning on September 3, 2000 and continuing through February 3, 2001, at which time any remaining balance will be due. The note is collateralized by 174,570 shares of Mr. Fiorettis' stock. 18
. From March 3, 2001 through March 3, 2002, Mannatech will purchase $83,333.33 of his stock, on a monthly basis, valued at 90% of the fair market value price on the close of that business day. . Mr. Fioretti will be prohibited from selling any shares he owns directly or indirectly for eighteen months beginning on August 8, 2000. . Commencing on March 3, 2002 and on the third business day thereafter, Mannatech will have the right but not the obligation to purchase at least $100,000 worth of his stock, valued at the greater of 90% of the fair market value, or $2.00 per share. On August 9, 2000 the Board approved up to $2.0 million to be used to buy back our stock, on the open market, under certain price conditions. The Board also agreed to end the unsuccessful negotiations with Mr. William C. Fioretti to obtain a lock up agreement as his terms were considered unreasonable. Item 6.

Further, Caster shall, during the term of this Agreement, make such communications with corporate officers and employees of Mannatech as may be reasonably requested. ARTICLE II. DUTIES, NON-COMPETITION and NON-SOLICITATION 1. Caster agrees to serve in the position of Global Vision Architect, or such other position as the parties may hereafter agree during the term of this Agreement, and to perform with reasonable diligence the duties and services undertaken by Caster pursuant to such Consultancy, as well as such additional duties and services appropriate to such Consultancy upon which the parties mutually may agree from time-to-time or as shall be designated by the Board of Directors. Caster will meet with the CEO from time to time to discuss and agree to those activities, including but not limited to these specified in Article 5, Section 3, that Caster will 3
undertake within the scope of his Consultancy. Caster also agrees that his Consultancy is subject to the current and future policies, written directives, and procedures maintained and established by Mannatech for its management, and concerning which Mannatech shall inform Caster in writing. Caster shall devote such of his time and efforts as are reasonably necessary to perform the duties that Caster has agreed to undertake pursuant to this Agreement. Caster shall further perform his duties in accordance with the directives of the Mannatech Board of Directors and the CEO of Mannatech or, as the parties may agree, from time-to-time, as the case may be. Caster may designate up to four (4) weeks during each calendar year of the Consultancy in which he will not be available to provide services to Mannatech. 2. Caster acknowledges and understands that from time to time Caster's duties may require Caster to work on-site at a non-company location. In such instance, Caster agrees to comply with all of the policies, procedures and directives relevant to working at such non-company location which are generally applicable to the Company's employees. Mannatech shall reimburse Caster for reasonable and necessary travel and lodging expenses regarding any travel required in connection with this Consultancy Agreement, provided that the same are booked through the Mannatech Travel Department or otherwise approved by the CEO of Mannatech. 3. Caster represents and admits that in the event of the termination of Caster's consultancy for any reason whatsoever, Caster's experience and capabilities are such that Caster can earn a livelihood in business engaged in other lines and/or of a different nature, and that the enforcement of a remedy by way of injunction will not prevent Caster from earning a livelihood. 4. Caster acknowledges that he will receive special knowledge and specialized training from Mannatech, included in which is the CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION identified in Article III below. Caster further acknowledges that the special knowledge and/or training provided by Mannatech and the CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION is valuable to Mannatech and, therefore, Mannatech's investment in the training and the protection and maintenance of the CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION constitutes a legitimate interest to be protected by Mannatech by the covenant not to compete, set forth in Article II of this Agreement. 5. Non-Competition. Caster therefore agrees that for a period of one (1) year after Caster shall cease to be a consultant of Mannatech, Caster shall not engage in any form of business which is in competition with Mannatech, including through the business of any person, company, firm, corporation, partnership, association, agency, or business, and particularly through a party known to Caster to be an independent contract sales associate and/or a customer of Mannatech ("Subject Person") or with whom Caster had contact during, or by reason of, Caster's consultancy to Mannatech, including any Subject Person known to Caster prior to Caster's original consultancy to Mannatech. 6. Non-Solicitation. Caster further agrees that for a period of one (1) year after Caster shall cease to be a consultant of Mannatech, Caster will not, either directly or indirectly, through any person, firm, association or corporation with which Caster is now or may hereafter 4
become associated with, solicit, cause, influence or induce any present or future Subject Person of Mannatech or its affiliates to leave the employ or business relationship with Mannatech or its affiliates to accept employment, affiliation, associate relationship or consultancy or any other business relationship with Caster or with such person, firm, association, or corporation with whom Caster may then be affiliated. As set forth above, Caster acknowledges that the foregoing non-competition and non-solicitation covenants are ancillary to or a part of an otherwise enforceable agreement, such being the general agreement of this Consultancy and its related agreements concerning confidentiality and non-disclosure of CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION and non-solicitation, at the time that this non- competition covenant is made, that the limitations as to time defined herein are reasonable and do not impose a greater restraint than is necessary to protect the goodwill or other business interests of Mannatech, that the limitations as to geographic area defined herein are reasonable and do not impose a greater restraint than is necessary to protect the goodwill or other business interests of Mannatech, and that the scope of activity to be restrained defined herein is reasonable and does not impose a greater restraint than is necessary to protect the good will or other business interests. 7. The foregoing covenants not to compete and solicit shall not be held invalid or unenforceable because of the scope or the territory or actions subject thereto or restricted thereby, or the period of time within which such Agreement is operative; but an award or decree in arbitration or any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, as the case may be, may define the maximum territory and actions subject thereto and restricted by this Article II and the period of time during which the Agreement is enforceable. Any alleged breach of other provisions of this Agreement asserted by Caster against Mannatech shall not be a defense for Caster to claims arising from Mannatech's enforcement of the provisions of this paragraph. Should Caster violate the non-competition, non-solicitation covenants of this Article II, then the period of time for these covenants shall automatically be extended for the period of time from which Caster began such violation until Caster permanently ceases such violation. 8. Irrespective of the term of this Agreement, and in consideration of the promises specified in Article II of this Agreement, Mannatech agrees as follows: a. To provide specialized training as it shall deem warranted from time to time; and b. To provide Caster with access to Mannatech's software and files, records, marketing procedures, processes, computer programs, compilations of information, records, Associate and client requirements, customer and associate lists and information pertaining to Subject Persons, pricing techniques, lists, formulae, lists identifying Associates, partners, potential investors, methods of doing business and other CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION which is regularly used in the operation of the business 5
of Mannatech. 9. Caster represents and warrants that the delivery and execution of this Agreement will not cause a breach in the terms of any existing agreement to which he is a party nor interfere with any undertakings which he is bound to perform or refrain from under any such agreements. 10. Caster shall be bound by and abide by all policies and procedures of Mannatech in effect during the term of his Consultancy. 11. Caster acknowledges and agrees that during the term of his Consultancy he will owe a contractual duty of loyalty, fidelity, and allegiance to Mannatech. In keeping with these duties, Caster shall make full disclosure to Mannatech of all business opportunities pertaining to Mannatech's business and shall not appropriate for Caster's own benefit such business opportunities. 12. Article II, Paragraphs 5 and 6 shall survive the execution, performance and/or termination of this Agreement, subject to the time and scope limitations set forth therein. ARTICLE III.

Caster agrees to use the his reasonable efforts and will exercise reasonable diligence to protect and safeguard the CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. In this respect, Caster agrees that fulfilling the obligations of the Agreement is part of Caster's responsibilities with Mannatech for which Caster has been retained as a consultant and for which Caster has received consideration therefor. 6. Except as may be required by Mannatech in connection with and during the Consultancy with Mannatech, or with the express written permission of Mannatech, Caster shall not, either during Caster's work as a consultant with Mannatech or at any time thereafter, directly or indirectly, download, printout, copy, remove from the premises of Mannatech, use for Caster's own benefit or for the benefit of another person not under a confidentiality obligation, or disclose to another, any CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION of Mannatech. 7. Caster agrees that all files, memoranda, data, notes, records, drawings, charts, graphs, analyses, letters, reports, or other documents or similar items containing Confidential Information made or compiled by Caster, made available to Caster or otherwise coming into Caster's possession during the Consultancy shall remain at all times the property of Mannatech and shall be delivered to Mannatech upon termination of the Consultancy with Mannatech or at any other time upon request. 8.

Prior to the time of issuance, the Company shall satisfy its employment tax and other tax withholding obligations by requiring the Optionee to pay the amount of withholding tax, if any, that must be paid under federal, state and local law due to the exercise of the Option, subject to such restrictions or procedures as the Company deems necessary to satisfy Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act. The payment of such withholding tax may be by certified or official bank check or by the delivery of a number of shares of Common Stock 4
(plus cash if necessary) having a fair market value equal to the amount of such withholding tax. (iii) Exercise of an Option in any manner shall result in a decrease in the number of Shares which thereafter may be available, both for purposes of the Plan and for sale under the Option, by the number of Shares as to which the Option is exercised. (b) Termination of Status as an Employee. If any Employee ceases to serve ------------------------------------ as an Employee, such Employee may, but only within thirty (30) days after the date such person ceases to be an Employee, exercise his or her Option to the extent that such person was entitled to exercise it at the date of such termination. To the extent that such Employee was not entitled to exercise the Option at the date of such termination, or if such Employee does not exercise such Option (which such person was entitled to exercise) within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate. (c) Disability of Optionee. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9(b) ---------------------- above, in the event an Employee is unable to continue his or her employment relationship with the Company as a result of such Employee's total and permanent disability (as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code), such Employee may, but only within six (6) months (or such other period of time not exceeding twelve (12) months as is determined by the Option Committee at the time of grant of the Option) from the date of termination, exercise his or her Option to the extent such person was entitled to exercise it at the date of such termination. To the extent that the Employee was not entitled to exercise the Option at the date of termination, or if such Employee does not exercise such Option (which such person was entitled to exercise) within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate. (d) Death of Optionee. In the event of the death of an Optionee: ----------------- (i) During the term of the Option who is at the time of his or her death an Employee and who shall have been in Continuous Status as an Employee or director or consultant since the date of grant of the Option, the Option may be exercised, at any time within six (6) months following the date of death, by the Optionee's estate or by a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance. 10. Non-Transferability of Options. The Option may not be sold, pledged, ------------------------------ assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised, during the lifetime of the Optionee, only by the Optionee. 11. Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization or Merger. Subject to any ---------------------------------------------------- required action by the shareholders of the Company, the number of shares of Common Stock covered by each outstanding Option, and the number of shares of Common Stock which have been authorized for issuance under the Plan but as to which no Options 5
have yet been granted or which have been returned to the Plan upon cancellation or expiration of any Option, as well as the price per share of Common Stock covered by each such outstanding Option, shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification of the Common Stock, or any other increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock effected without receipt of consideration by the Company; provided, however, that conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been "effected without receipt of consideration." Such adjustment shall be made by the Option committee, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive. Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of shares of Common Stock subject to an Option. In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Option will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action, unless otherwise provided by the Option Committee. The Option Committee may, in the exercise of its sole discretion in such instances, declare that any Option shall terminate as of a date fixed by the Option Committee and give each Optionee the right to exercise his or her Option as to all or any part of the Optioned Stock, including Shares as to which the Option would not otherwise be exercisable. In the event of the proposed sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or the merger of the Company with or into another corporation, the Option shall be assumed or an equivalent option shall be substituted by such successor corporation or a parent or subsidiary of such successor corporation, unless the Option Committee determines, in the exercise of its sole discretion and in lieu of such assumption or substitution, that the Optionee shall have the right to exercise the Option as to all of the Optioned Stock, including Shares as to which the Option would not otherwise be exercisable. If the Option Committee makes an Option fully exercisable in lieu of assumption or substitution in the event of a merger or sale of assets, the Option Committee shall notify the Optionee that the Option shall be fully exercisable for a period of thirty (30) days from the date of such notice, and the Option will terminate upon the expiration of such period. 12. Time of Granting Options. The date of grant of an Option shall be the date ------------------------ on which the Option Committee makes the determination granting such Option. Notice of the determination shall be given to each Optionee to whom an Option is so granted within a reasonable time after the date of such grant. 6
13. Amendment and Termination of the Plan. ------------------------------------- (a) Amendment and Termination. The Option Committee may amend or terminate ------------------------- the Plan from time to time in such respects as the Option Committee may deem advisable; provided that, the following revisions or amendments shall require approval of the shareholders of the Company in the manner described in Section 17 of the Plan: (i) An increase in the number of Shares subject to the Plan above 2,000,000 Shares, other than in connection with an adjustment under Section 11 of the Plan; (b) Effect of Amendment or Termination. Any such amendment or termination ---------------------------------- of the Plan shall not affect Options already granted and such Options shall remain in full force and effect as if the Plan had not been amended or terminated, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Optionee and the Option Committee, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Optionee and the Company. 14. Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares. Shares shall not be issued pursuant to ---------------------------------- the exercise of an Option unless the exercise of such Option and the issuance and delivery of such Shares pursuant thereto shall comply with all relevant provisions of law, including, without limitation, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Exchange Act, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, applicable state securities laws, and the requirements of the Nasdaq National Market upon which the Shares are listed, and shall be further subject to the approval of general in-house counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance. (a) As a condition to the exercise of an Option, the Company may require the person exercising such Option to represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise that the Shares are being purchased only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such Shares if, in the opinion of general in-house counsel for the Company, such a representation is required by any of the aforementioned relevant provisions of law. 15. Reservation of Shares. The Company, during the term of this Plan, will at --------------------- all times reserve and keep available 2,000,000 Shares as shall be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan. (a) Inability of the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Company's general in-house counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained. 16. Option Agreement. Options shall be evidenced by written option agreements ---------------- in such form, as the Option Committee shall approve. 7
17. Shareholder Approval. Continuance of the Plan shall be subject to approval -------------------- by the shareholders of the Company within twelve months before or after the date, the Plan is adopted. If such shareholder approval is obtained at a duly held shareholders meeting, it may be obtained by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company, such holders being present or represented and entitled to vote thereon. 18. Information to Optionees. The Company shall provide to each Optionee, ------------------------ during the period for which such Optionee has one or more Options outstanding, copies of all annual reports and other information which are provided to all shareholders of the Company. The Company shall not be required to provide such information if the issuance of Options under the Plan is limited to key employees whose duties in connection with the Company assure their access to equivalent information. 19. CHOICE OF LAW. THE CORPORATE LAW OF THE STATE OF TEXAS WILL GOVERN ALL ------------- QUESTIONS CONCERNING THE RELATIVE RIGHTS OF THE COMPANY AND ITS SHAREHOLDERS. ALL OTHER QUESTIONS CONCERNING THE CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND INTERPRETATION OF THIS PLAN AND THE INSTRUMENTS EVIDENCING OPTIONS WILL BE GOVERNED BY THE INTERNAL LAW, AND NOT THE LAW OF CONFLICTS, OF THE STATE OF TEXAS. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused its duly authorized officer to execute this Plan effective as of the 28th day of April, 2000. MANNATECH, INCORPORATED By: /s/ Robert M.

EXHIBIT A --------- PROMISSORY NOTE $500,000 Dallas, Texas August 8, 2000 FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, Charles E. Fioretti, an individual residing in the State of Texas ("Maker"), promises to pay to the order of Mannatech, Incorporated, a Texas corporation ("Payee"), the sum of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000). This Note is executed in connection with that certain Note and Stock Purchase Agreement, dated of even date herewith, by and between Maker and Payee (the "Purchase Agreement") and is subject to the terms of such Purchase Agreement. Reference is hereby made to the Purchase Agreement for provisions affecting this Note regarding payment, and such provisions are hereby incorporated in this Note by reference. All payments made by Maker hereunder shall be made at such location as is directed by Payee without set-off, deduction or counterclaim. All payments shall be applied first to payment of costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by Payee in enforcing this Note, including all costs of collection, next to payment of accrued and unpaid interest and then to the reduction principal. All past due principal and accrued interest on this Note shall bear interest from maturity until paid at the rate of the lesser of (i) eighteen percent (18%) per annum or (ii) the maximum rate of interest permitted under applicable law. A per annum rate of interest of 6.9% shall be imputed but not charged. The entire unpaid principal balance of, and all accrued interest on, this Note shall immediately be due and payable at the option of Payee (or with respect to clause (c) automatically without notice of any kind) upon the occurrence of (a) a failure by the undersigned to pay when due any installment of principal or interest under this Note or any other cost due hereunder, (b) any breach of any representation or warranty or any material breach of any covenant or agreement set forth in this Note or the Purchase Agreement on the part of Maker, (c) the commencement of a voluntary case under Title 11 of the United States Code, the filing of an answer or other pleading admitting or failing to deny the material allegations of a petition filed against Maker commencing an involuntary case under said Title 11 or the failure to controvert timely the material allegations of such petition (each such event, an "Event of Default"). No delay on the part of the holder of this Note in the exercise of any power or right under this Note or under any other instrument executed pursuant hereto shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise of any power or right preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right. Except as expressly otherwise provided for herein, Maker and all endorsers of this Note waive demand, presentment, protest, notice of dishonor, notice of nonpayment, notice
of intention to accelerate, notice of protest and any and all lack of diligence or delay in collection or the filing of suit hereon which may occur, and agree to all extensions and partial payments, before or after maturity, without prejudice to the holder hereof. In the event that one or more Events of Default shall occur, and in the event that thereafter this Note is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection, or in the event that this Note is collected in whole or in part through legal proceedings of any nature, then and in any such case, there shall be added to the unpaid principal balance hereof all reasonable costs of collection, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys' fees, on account of such collection, whether or not suit is filed. THIS NOTE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS. All agreements between Maker and the holder of this Note, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by acceleration of the maturity of this Note or otherwise, shall the amount paid, or agreed to be paid, to the holder hereof for the use, forbearance or detention of the money to be loaned hereunder or otherwise, exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable law. If from any circumstances whatsoever fulfillment of any provision of this Note or of any other document evidencing, securing or pertaining to the indebtedness evidenced hereby, at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of validity prescribed by law, then, ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity, and if from any such circumstances the holder of this Note shall ever receive as interest under this Note or any other document evidencing, securing or pertaining to the indebtedness evidenced hereby or otherwise an amount that would exceed the highest lawful rate, such amount that would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount owing under this Note or on account of any other indebtedness of Maker to the holder hereof relating to this Note, and not to the payment of interest, or if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal of this Note and such other indebtedness, such excess shall be refunded to Maker. In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable with respect to any indebtedness of Maker to the holder hereof, under any specific contingency, exceeds the highest lawful rate, Maker and the holder hereof shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, (a) characterize any non- principal payment as an expense, fee or premium rather than as interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, (c) amortize, prorate, allocate and spread the total amount of interest throughout the full term of such indebtedness so that the actual rate of interest on account of such indebtedness is uniform throughout the term thereof, and/or (d) allocate interest between portions of such indebtedness, to the end that no such portion shall bear interest at a rate greater than that permitted by law. The terms and provisions of this paragraph shall control and supersede every other conflicting provision of all agreements between Maker and the holder hereof.
All of the stipulations, promises and agreements in this Note contained by or on behalf of Maker and Payee shall bind the successors and assigns of Maker and Payee, whether so expressed or not, and inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of Maker and Payee. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Note shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof, and this Note shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has executed this Note as of the date first above written. /s/ CHARLES E. FIORETTI --------------------------------- Charles E. Fioretti
