Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1.	THE COMPANY

Nu Skin Enterprises, Inc. (the “Company”) is a leading, global direct selling company that develops and distributes premium-quality, innovative personal care products and nutritional supplements that are sold worldwide under the Nu Skin and Pharmanex brands. The Company also markets technology-related products and services under the Big Planet brand. The Company reports revenue from five geographic regions: North Asia, which consists of Japan and South Korea; Greater China, which consists of Mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan; North America, which consists of the United States and Canada; South Asia/Pacific, which consists of Australia, Malaysia, New Zealand, the Philippines, Singapore and Thailand; and Other Markets, which consists of Brazil, Europe, Guatemala, Israel and Mexico (the Company’s subsidiaries operating in these countries are collectively referred to as the “Subsidiaries”).

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the Subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. 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 as of June 30, 2005, and for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004. The results of operations of any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the 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, 2004.

2.	STOCK–BASED COMPENSATION

The Company measures compensation expense for its stock-based employee compensation plans. Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, encourages, but does not require, companies to record compensation cost for stock-based employee compensation plans based on the fair market value of options granted. The Company has chosen to account for stock-based compensation granted to employees using the intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations. Accordingly, because the grant price equals the market price on the date of grant for options issued by the Company, no compensation expense is recognized for stock options issued to employees. However, stock-based compensation granted to non-employees, such as the Company’s independent distributors and consultants, is accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 123. SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure, which amended SFAS No. 123, requires more prominent and frequent disclosures about the effects of stock-based compensation, which have been provided herein.

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payment, which requires the expensing of employee options beginning the first fiscal year that begins after June 15, 2005. Consequently, the Company will begin expensing employee options during its first quarter of 2006 and is currently evaluating the effect of this accounting standard on its financial statements. Until that time, the Company will continue to account for its stock-based compensation granted to employees according to the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25. Had compensation cost for the Company’s stock options been recognized based upon the estimated

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

fair value on the grant date under the fair value methodology prescribed by SFAS No. 123, as amended by SFAS No. 148, the Company’s net earnings and earnings per share would have been as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2005		2004		2005		2004
Net income, as reported	$ 22,809		$ 20,319		$ 40,516		$ 34,799

Diluted - pro forma	$ 0.29		$ 0.26		$ 0.52		$ 0.44

3.	NET INCOME PER SHARE

Net income per share is computed based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the periods presented. Additionally, diluted earnings per share data gives effect to all potentially dilutive common shares that were outstanding during the periods presented. For the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2005, other stock options totaling 0.8 million and 0.8 million, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because they were anti-dilutive. For the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2004, no options were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because they were anti-dilutive. Earnings per share in 2005 were positively impacted by the repurchase of 3.1 million shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, which occurred in July 2004.

4.	DIVIDENDS PER SHARE

In May 2005, the board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.09 per share for all classes of common stock. This quarterly cash dividend of approximately $6.3 million was paid on June 22, 2005, to stockholders of record on June 1, 2005. In July 2005, the board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.09 per share for all classes of common stock to be paid in September 2005.

5.	DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

At June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the Company held forward contracts designated as foreign currency cash flow hedges with notional amounts totaling approximately $28.0 million and $82.0 million, respectively, to hedge foreign-currency-denominated intercompany transactions. All such contracts were denominated in Japanese yen. As of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, $0.9 million of net unrealized gains and $3.2 million of net unrealized losses, net of related taxes, respectively, were recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss. The contracts held

NU SKIN ENTERPRISES, INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

at June 30, 2005 have maturities through June 2006 and accordingly, all unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency cash flow hedges included in accumulated other comprehensive loss will be recognized in current earnings over the next 12 months. The Company recognized pre-tax losses on foreign currency cash flow hedges of $0.2 million and $0.4 million for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2005, respectively, and recognized losses of $1.6 million and $4.3 million for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2004, respectively, which were recorded primarily as an offset to revenue in Japan.

6.	REPURCHASES OF COMMON STOCK

During the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2005, the Company repurchased approximately 286,000 and 514,000 shares of Class A common stock under its open market repurchase plan for approximately $6.5 million and $11.5 million, respectively. During the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2004, the Company did not repurchase any shares of its Class A common stock under its open market repurchase plan.

7.	COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

The components of comprehensive income, net of related tax, for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, were as follows (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended June 30,			Six Months Ended June 30,
	2005		2004	2005	2004

Comprehensive income	$ 23,799		$ 22,938	$ 49,073	$ 36,775

8.	SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company operates in a single reportable operating segment by selling products to a global network of independent distributors that operates in a seamless manner from market to market, except for its operations in Mainland China. In Mainland China the Company utilizes an employed sales force to sell its products through fixed retail locations. Selling expenses are the Company’s largest expense, comprised of the worldwide commissions and remuneration to Mainland China sales employees paid on product sales. The Company manages its business primarily by managing its global sales force. The Company does not use profitability reports on a regional or divisional basis for making business decisions. However, the Company does recognize revenue in five geographic regions: North Asia, Greater China, North America, South Asia/Pacific and Other Markets.

9.	DEFERRED TAX ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. This statement establishes financial accounting and reporting standards for the effects of income taxes that result from an enterprise’s activities during the current and preceding years. It requires an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting of income taxes. The Company pays income taxes in many foreign jurisdictions based on the profits realized in those jurisdictions, which can be significantly impacted by terms of intercompany transactions between the Company and its foreign affiliates. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are created in this process. As of June 30, 2005, the Company has net deferred tax assets

-7-

NU SKIN ENTERPRISES, INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

$32.4 million. The Company has netted these deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities by jurisdiction.

10.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

In 1999, the Company implemented a duty valuation methodology with respect to the importation of certain products into Japan. The Valuation Department of the Yokohama customs authorities reviewed and approved this methodology at that time, and it has been reviewed on several occasions by the audit division of the Japan customs authorities since then. In connection with recent audits, the Yokohama customs authorities have assessed the Company additional duties and penalties on these products imported into Japan from October 2002 to October 2004, based on a different valuation methodology than what was previously approved. The Company has also disputed the amount of duties it was required to pay on these products since November of 2004. The total amount assessed or in dispute is approximately $25.0 million, net of any recovery of consumption taxes. Effective July 1, 2005, the Company implemented some modifications to its business structure in Japan that it believes will eliminate any further customs valuation disputes with respect to future product imports in Japan.

Because the valuation methodology the Company used with respect to the products in dispute had been reviewed and approved by the customs authorities in Japan, the Company believes the assessments are improper and has filed letters of protest with Yokohama customs with respect to most of this amount, and intends to file letters of protest with respect to the remaining amount. As expected, Yokohama customs has not accepted the Company’s letters of protest to date, and to follow proper administrative procedures the Company has filed appeals with the Japan Ministry of Finance. To the extent necessary, the Company plans to continue to file protests and appeals within the appropriate governmental channels concerning this issue. The Company may also choose to use the judicial court system in Japan if necessary to bring this issue to a resolution. In order to file its letters of protest, the Company was required to pay the $25.0 million assessment, approximately $16.0 million of which it had paid as of June 30, 2005. The Company recorded the $16.0 million payment in “Other Assets” in its Consolidated Balance Sheet. To the extent that the Company is unsuccessful in recovering these amounts it has been assessed, the Company will be required to take a corresponding charge to its earnings.

11.

PURCHASE OF LONG-TERM ASSET

In March 2002, the Company acquired the exclusive rights to a new laser technology related to measuring the level of certain antioxidants. The acquisition consisted of cash payments of $4.8 million (including acquisition costs) and the issuance of 106,667 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock valued at $0.9 million. In addition, the acquisition included contingent payments up to $8.5 million of cash and up to 1.2 million shares of the Company’s Class A common stock if certain development and revenue targets are met. In 2004, some of these specific development and revenue targets were met resulting in contingent payments of approximately $5.1 million of cash and 525,000 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock valued at $13.0 million. During the first half of the year ended June 30, 2005, all of the remaining specific development and revenue targets were met. As a result, the Company made the final contingent payments of approximately $3.4 million of cash; and 675,000 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock valued at approximately $15.2 million. The total payments of $8.5 million of cash and the value of the 1.2 million shares of stock have been added to the carrying value of other finite lived intangible assets.

12.

LONG-TERM DEBT

On February 7, 2005, the Company issued a series of Japanese yen-denominated senior promissory notes (the “Notes”) to affiliates of Prudential Investment Management, Inc. (“Prudential”). The Notes were issued pursuant to its $125.0 million Private Shelf agreement entered into between the Company and Prudential on August 26, 2003 (the “Shelf Agreement”).

The aggregate principal amount of the Notes is 3.1 billion Japanese yen, or approximately $30.0 million as of February 7, 2005, bearing a 1.7% interest rate per annum, with interest payable semi-annually. The interest payments on the Notes began April 30, 2005. The final maturity date of the Notes is April 30, 2014 and principal payments are required annually beginning on April 30, 2008 in equal installments of 445.7 million Japanese yen. The Notes are also governed by the terms of the Shelf Agreement and amendments thereto, which contain certain representations, warranties and covenants by the Company, as well as customary conditions upon which the obligations under the Notes may be accelerated and become due and payable immediately, or become subject to additional obligations. The proceeds from the Notes may be used for working capital, capital expenditures and other purposes, including repurchases of the Company’s outstanding shares of Class A common stock.

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 15, 2005, and our other filings, including Current Reports on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC through the date of this report.

Overview

Our revenue for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2005 increased 9% to $310.1 million and $548.2 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2004. Excluding the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, we would have experienced a revenue increase of 6% and 7%, respectively, for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2005 compared to the same periods in the prior year. We experienced year-over-year growth in most of our markets primarily as a result of a 29% increase in Pharmanex revenue. The continued global roll-out of the Pharmanex^®BioPhotonic Scanner (hereinafter, the “Scanner”) in Japan and other markets and our continued focus on product subscription programs, which accounted for 42% of our revenue in the second quarter of 2005 compared to 27% in the second quarter of 2004, contributed to the growth in our nutrition business. New product introductions also positively impacted revenue during the quarter, particularly in the United States. Earnings per share increased 14% for the second quarter of 2005 compared to the prior-year period.

Revenue

North Asia. The following table sets forth revenue for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 for the North Asia region and its principal markets (in millions):

North Asia total	$ 171.2	$ 159.5	7%	$ 332.0	$ 309.6	7%

Our growth in this region was a result of continued growth in both Japan and South Korea, as well as favorable foreign currency fluctuations. Excluding the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, revenue in North Asia increased 4% in the second quarter of 2005 compared to the same period in 2004. Revenue in Japan increased 1% on a local currency basis in the second quarter of 2005 compared to the same period in 2004. Revenue growth in Japan was driven by our Pharmanex division as we further expanded the Scanner program in that market. The Scanner program and incentives focused on product subscription programs over the last several quarters contributed to a strong increase in subscription orders in Japan in the second quarter of 2005 compared to the same period in 2004. These initiatives have also contributed to an increase in active distributors in this market. Although the number of executive distributors in Japan declined 1% compared to the prior year, the number of distributors applying to become executive distributors increased as a result of the initiatives described above.

Local currency revenue in South Korea increased 22% in the second quarter of 2005 compared to the same period in 2004. The growth in revenue in South Korea was due to growth in executive leadership and active distributors as well as the launch of the Scanner program. These factors helped contribute to positive results in this market where we continue to face challenging economic conditions.

Greater China. The following table sets forth revenue for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 for the Greater China region and its principal markets (in millions):

	Three Months Ended June 30,			Six Months Ended June 30,
	2005	2004	Change	2005	2004	Change
Mainland China	$ 29.0	$ 29.5	(2%)	$ 55.6	$ 52.3	6%
Taiwan	24.4	20.4	20%	46.6	37.4	25%
Hong Kong	10.7	9.3	15%	21.0	17.0	24%
Greater China total	$ 64.1	$ 59.2	8%	$ 123.2	$ 106.7	15%

Our revenue in Greater China increased primarily as a result of the strong growth in Taiwan and Hong Kong. The growth was a result of:

•

continued distributor enthusiasm for business prospects in China;

•

distributor leadership growth, which was driven by successful incentives designed to promote our product subscription program;

•

the Scanner, which has been particularly successful in Taiwan in helping drive revenue; and

•

favorable currency fluctuations, which impacted revenue in Taiwan by 6%.

The number of active distributors increased 11% and 13%, respectively, in Taiwan and Hong Kong compared to the prior-year period, and executive distributors increased 13% and 19%, respectively. On a sequential basis, active and executive distributors were down slightly from the first quarter. We expect revenue in Hong Kong to be down on a year-over-year basis the next two quarters as revenue last year during this period included sales of Pharmanex products to sales representatives from China, particularly those attending the sales convention in Hong Kong, prior to the launch of those products in China.

Although our revenue in China was down 2% year-over-year in the second quarter, it was up 9% sequentially as a result of the positive impact of the introduction of Pharmanex products in China and an emphasis on product subscription programs, which have helped to improve customer retention rates. We introduced three Pharmanex products into the majority of our stores in this market during the first half of 2005. The year-over-year decrease in the second quarter in China resulted from the fact that the second quarter of 2004 was our largest revenue quarter that year. We experienced a revenue decline from the second to the third quarter of 2004 as we focused more on educating our sales representatives about our sales policies and enforcing these sales policies.

We continue to anticipate the adoption of new direct selling regulations in China in the near future and have taken several steps to prepare for the transition to direct selling in this market. Some of these steps include conducting extensive training of our sales representatives and modifying our remuneration plan. While we believe these modifications will help us take advantage of the anticipated direct selling regulations, our sales representatives will require time to understand the impact of the new remuneration plan and adjust their sales activities accordingly. We anticipate this transition will distract our sales representatives during the third quarter as they adjust to the changes, likely causing a negative impact on revenue in the near term.

Currencies in China and Hong Kong are generally pegged to the U.S. dollar, minimizing the impact of foreign currency fluctuations. China has recently announced that it will allow the yuan to float against the U.S. dollar and other major foreign currencies to a small degree. To date, this change has resulted in a 2% appreciation in the value of the yuan, which had been pegged at about 8.28 yuan to the U.S. dollar for the past decade, but is now pegged at about 8.10 yuan to the U.S. dollar. Further strengthening of the yuan against the U.S. dollar would positively impact our reported revenue.

-11-

North America. The following table sets forth revenue for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 for the North America region and its principal markets (in millions):

	Three Months Ended June 30,			Six Months Ended June 30,
	2005	2004	Change	2005	2004	Change
United States	$ 36.8	$ 33.4	10%	$ 70.5	$ 68.6	3%
Canada	2.4	2.6	(8%)	4.7	5.0	(6%)
North America total	$ 39.2	$ 36.0	9%	$ 75.2	$ 73.6	2%

Our revenue in the United States increased 10% in the second quarter of 2005 compared to the prior-year period. Revenue growth in this market was driven by:

•

the introduction of new Pharmanex and Big Planet products, including g3, a nutrient-dense fruit drink, and Photomax™, an online digital imaging service; and

•

the continued positive impact of the Scanner and product subscription programs.

These initiatives helped boost distributor enthusiasm, resulting in growth of 14% and 10% in the number of executive distributors and active distributors in the United States, respectively, in the second quarter of 2005 compared to the same period in 2004.

South Asia/Pacific. The following table sets forth revenue for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 for the South Asia/Pacific region and its principal markets (in millions):

	Three Months Ended June 30,			Six Months Ended June 30,
	2005	2004	Change	2005	2004	Change
Singapore/Malaysia/Brunei	$ 11.0	$ 9.9	11%	$ 21.8	$ 18.8	16%
Thailand	6.2	6.5	(5%)	12.1	13.3	(9%)
Australia/New Zealand	3.5	3.2	9%	6.7	6.5	3%
Philippines	1.0	0.8	25%	1.7	1.5	13%
South Asia/Pacific total	$ 21.7	$ 20.4	6%	$ 42.3	$ 40.1	5%

Excluding the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, revenue in South Asia/Pacific increased 3% during the three-month period ended June 30, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004. Growth in Pharmanex revenue, particularly in Singapore/Malaysia/Brunei, contributed to this local currency growth as we continued our focus on the Scanner and our product subscription program. Although revenue growth in the region was partially offset by a revenue decline in Thailand, the recent softening trend in our business in that market was significantly stemmed during the second quarter. In addition, we commenced operations in Indonesia in the beginning of August, which we expect will meaningfully contribute to revenue growth in this region going forward. In anticipation of this new market opening, some of our distributor leaders outside of Indonesia, particularly in Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia, have been directing their focus towards this opportunity and away from their home markets. As a result, we expect to experience some softness in these markets during the third quarter, which should be more than offset by new revenue generated in Indonesia.

-12-

Other Markets. The following table sets forth revenue for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 for our Other Markets (in millions):

	Three Months Ended June 30,			Six Months Ended June 30,
	2005	2004	Change	2005	2004	Change
Europe	$ 11.9	$ 8.3	43%	$ 23.0	$ 16.8	37%
Latin America	2.0	0.8	150%	3.7	1.4	164%
Other Markets total	$ 13.9	$ 9.1	53%	$ 26.7	$ 18.2	47%

Revenue growth in Europe resulted from continued success with the Scanner and our product subscription program, as well as compensation plan enhancements. Europe is also benefiting from success in Hungary, which opened for business in February of 2005. These initiatives have significantly strengthened distributor sponsorship, leadership and retention. Strong growth in Latin America continued during the second quarter, particularly in Mexico where executive and active distributor counts grew dramatically. We expect this increase in distributor counts to contribute to further growth going forward.

Gross profit

Gross profit as a percentage of revenue decreased to 82.6% and 82.7% for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2005, respectively from 83.3% for both of the same periods in 2004. As expected, lower gross margins resulted from our continued global roll-out of Scanners. Scanners are leased to distributors on essentially a break-even basis, the costs of which are amortized in cost of sales. We anticipate these factors will continue to have an impact on our gross margins through the remainder of 2005, resulting in slightly lower gross margins.

Selling expenses

Selling expenses as a percentage of revenue decreased to 41.7% and 42.2% for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2005, respectively from 42.7% for both of the same periods in 2004. This decrease is attributable primarily to the following:

•

the continued global roll-out of the Scanner program, as no commissions are paid on Scanner lease revenue; and

•

improvements in sales employee retention rates in China, which has reduced turnover and therefore reduced unemployment and other labor-related expenses associated with our employed sales force in China.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue increased for the three-month period ended June 30, 2005 to 29.0% from 28.3% for the same period in 2004, and decreased for the six-month period ended June 30, 2005 to 29.5%, from 29.9% for the same period in 2004. In U.S. dollars, general and administrative expenses increased to $90.0 million and $177.1 million for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2005, from $80.4 million and $164.0 million for the same periods in 2004. General and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2005 were impacted by the incremental costs associated with our investment in various growth initiatives, including new market openings, globalization of the Scanner program, and further development of China, Latin America and Europe.

-13-

Other income (expense), net

Other income (expense), net was approximately $1.2 million and $1.8 million of expense for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2005, compared to the prior-year periods of $2.7 million and $3.6 million of expense, respectively. Fluctuations in other income (expense), net are impacted by interest expense and foreign exchange fluctuations to the U.S. dollar on the translation of yen-based bank debt and other foreign denominated intercompany balances into U.S. dollars for financial reporting purposes. The three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2005 included interest expense of $1.7 million and $3.2 million, compared to interest expense of $1.5 million and $3.0 million for the same prior-year periods, respectively, and we anticipate incurring approximately $1.5 million of interest expense during each of the remaining quarters of 2005.

Provision for income taxes

Provision for income taxes increased to $13.1 million and $23.5 million for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2005, compared to $11.9 million and $20.4 million for the same periods in 2004. The effective tax rate was 36.4% and 36.7% of pre-tax income during the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2005, compared to the rate of 37.0% in the same prior-year periods, respectively.

Net income

As a result of the foregoing factors, net income increased to $22.8 million and $40.5 million for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2005, compared to $20.3 million and $34.8 million for the same periods in 2004.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Historically, our principal uses of cash has included operating expenses, particularly selling expenses, and working capital (principally inventory purchases), as well as capital expenditures, stock repurchases and dividends, and the development of operations in new markets. We have generally relied on cash flow from operations to fund operating activities, and we have at times incurred long-term debt in order to fund strategic transactions and stock repurchases.

We typically generate positive cash flow from operations due to favorable gross margins and the variable nature of selling expenses, which constitute a significant percentage of operating expenses. We generated $66.1 million in cash from operations during the six-month period ended June 30, 2005, compared to $61.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2004. This increase in cash generated from operations is primarily related to increased net income in the first half of 2005 compared to the prior-year period.

As of June 30, 2005, working capital was $147.4 million, compared to $117.4 million as of December 31, 2004. Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 were $151.6 million and $109.9 million, respectively. This increase in cash balances and working capital was primarily due to the increase in cash flows from operations and the proceeds of $30.0 million in long-term debt in the first half of 2005.

We anticipate capital expenditures of approximately $40.0 million for 2005, of which we incurred $17.4 million in the first half of 2005. These capital expenditures are primarily related to:

•

purchases of Scanners;

•

purchases of computer systems and software; and

-14-

•

the build-out of manufacturing and additional retail stores in China, as well as other leasehold improvements in our various markets.

We currently have long-term debt pursuant to various credit facilities and other borrowings. The following table summarizes these long-term debt arrangements as of June 30, 2005:


Facility or Arrangement⁽¹⁾	Original Principal Amount	Balance as of June 30, 2005⁽²⁾	Interest Rate	Repayment terms

2000 Japanese yen denominated notes	9.7 billion yen	8.3 billion yen ($75.0 million as of June 30, 2005)	3.0%	Notes due October 2010, with annual principal payments that began in October 2004.



2003 $125.0 million multi-currency uncommitted shelf facility:

U.S. dollar denominated:	$50.0 million	$50.0 million	4.5%	Notes due April 2010 with annual principal payments beginning April 2006.

	$25.0 million	$15.0 million	4.0%	Notes due April 2008 with annual principal payments that began in October 2004.


Japanese yen denominated:	$3.1 billion yen	3.1 billion yen ($28.1 million as of June 30, 2005)	1.7%	Notes due April 2014, with annual principal payments beginning April 2008.


2004 $25.0 million revolving credit facility	N/A	N/A	N/A	N/A

⁽¹⁾	Each of the credit facilities and arrangements listed in the table are secured by guarantees issued by our material domestic subsidiaries and by pledges of 65% to 100% of the outstanding stock of our material foreign subsidiaries.

⁽²⁾	The current portion of our long-term debt (i.e. becoming due in the next 12 months) includes $12.5 million of the balance on our 2000 Japanese yen denominated notes and $15.0 million of the balance on our U.S. dollar denominated debt under the 2003 multi-currency uncommitted shelf facility.

Our board of directors has approved a stock repurchase program authorizing us to repurchase our outstanding shares of Class A common stock on the open market or in private transactions. The repurchases are used primarily for our equity incentive plans and strategic initiatives. During the first half of 2005, we repurchased approximately 514,000 shares of Class A common stock under this program for an aggregate amount of approximately $11.5 million. As of June 30, 2005, approximately $15.6 million was available under the stock repurchase program for repurchases.

-15-

In January and May 2005, our board of directors declared quarterly cash dividends of $0.09 per share for all shares of Class A common stock. These quarterly cash dividends of $6.3 million each were paid on March 23, 2005 and June 22, 2005, to stockholders of record on March 4, 2005, and June 1, 2005, respectively. In July 2005, the board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.09 per share for all shares of Class A common stock to be paid in September 2005. Currently, we anticipate that our board of directors will continue to declare quarterly cash dividends and that the cash flows from operations will be sufficient to fund our future dividend payments. However, the declaration of dividends is subject to the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon various factors, including our net earnings, financial condition, cash requirements, future prospects and other factors deemed relevant by our board of directors.

We believe we have sufficient liquidity to be able to meet our obligations on both a short- and long-term basis. We currently believe that existing cash balances, future cash flows from operations and existing lines of credit will be adequate to fund our cash needs on both a short- and long-term basis. The majority of our historical expenses have been variable in nature and as such, a potential reduction in the level of revenue would reduce our cash flow needs. In the event that our current cash balances, future cash flow from operations and current lines of credit are not sufficient to meet our obligations or strategic needs, we would consider raising additional funds in the debt or equity markets or restructuring our current debt obligations. Additionally, we would consider realigning our strategic plans, including a reduction in capital spending, stock repurchases or dividend payments.

In 1999, we implemented a duty valuation methodology with respect to the importation of certain products into Japan. The Valuation Department of the Yokohama customs authorities reviewed and approved this methodology at that time, and it has been reviewed on several occasions by the audit division of the Japan customs authorities since then. In connection with recent audits, the Yokohama customs authorities have assessed us additional duties and penalties on these products imported into Japan from October 2002 to October 2004, based on a different valuation methodology than what was previously approved. We have also disputed the amount of duties we were required to pay on these products since November of 2004. The total amount assessed or in dispute is approximately $25 million, net of any recovery of consumption taxes. Effective July 1, 2005, we implemented some modifications to our business structure in Japan that we believe will eliminate any further customs valuation disputes with respect to future product imports in Japan.

Because the valuation methodology we used with respect to the products in dispute had been reviewed and approved by the customs authorities in Japan, we believe the assessments are improper and have filed letters of protest with Yokohama customs with respect to most of this amount, and intend to file letters of protest with respect to the remaining amount. As expected, Yokohama customs has not accepted our letters of protest to date, and to follow proper administrative procedures we have filed appeals with the Japan Ministry of Finance. To the extent necessary, we plan to continue to file protests and appeals within the appropriate governmental channels concerning this issue. We may also choose to use the judicial court system in Japan if necessary to bring this issue to a resolution. In order to file our letters of protest, we were required to pay the $25 million assessment, approximately $16 million of which we had paid as of June 30, 2005. We recorded the $16 million payment in “Other Assets” in our Consolidated Balance Sheet. To the extent that we are unsuccessful in recovering these amounts we have been assessed, we will be required to take a corresponding charge to our earnings.

Critical Accounting Policies

The following critical accounting policies and estimates should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto, and our interim unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto. Management considers the most critical accounting policies to be the recognition of revenue, accounting for income taxes and accounting for intangible assets. In each of these areas, management makes estimates based on historical results, current trends and future projections.

-16-

Revenue. We recognize revenue when products are shipped, which is when title and risk of loss pass to our independent distributors. With some exceptions in various countries, we offer a return policy whereby distributors can return unopened and unused product for up to 12 months subject to a 10% restocking fee. Reported revenue is net of returns, which have historically been less than 5% of gross sales. A reserve for product returns is accrued based on historical experience. We classify selling discounts as a reduction of revenue. Our selling expenses are computed pursuant to our global compensation plan for our distributors and is focused on remunerating distributors based upon the selling efforts of the distributors and their downlines, and not their personal purchases.

Income Taxes. We account for income taxes in accordance with Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” This statement establishes financial accounting and reporting standards for the effects of income taxes that result from an enterprise’s activities during the current and preceding years. It requires an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting of income taxes. We pay income taxes in many foreign jurisdictions based on the profits realized in those jurisdictions, which can be significantly impacted by terms of intercompany transactions among our affiliates around the world. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are created in this process. As of June 30, 2005, we had net deferred tax assets of $32.4 million. These net deferred tax assets assume sufficient future earnings will exist for their realization, as well as the continued application of current tax rates. We have considered projected future taxable income and ongoing tax planning strategies in determining that no valuation allowance is required. In the event we were to determine that we would not be able to realize all or part of our net deferred tax assets in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax assets would be charged to earnings in the period such determination was made.

Our foreign taxes paid are high relative to foreign operating income and our U.S. taxes paid are low relative to U.S. operating income due largely to the flow of funds among our subsidiaries around the world. As payments for services, management fees, license arrangements and royalties are made from our foreign affiliates to our U.S. corporate headquarters, these payments often incur withholding and other forms of tax that are generally creditable for U.S. tax purposes. Therefore, these payments lead to increased foreign effective tax rates and lower U.S. effective tax rates. Variations (or shifts) occur in our foreign and U.S. effective tax rates from year to year depending on several factors, including the impact of global transfer prices and the timing and level of remittances from foreign affiliates.

We are subject to regular audits by federal, state and foreign tax authorities. These audits may result in additional tax liabilities. We account for such contingent liabilities in accordance with SFAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies,” and believe we have appropriately provided for income taxes for all years. Several factors drive the calculation of our tax reserves. Some of these factors include: (i) the expiration of various statutes of limitations; (ii) changes in tax law and regulations; (iii) issuance of tax rulings; and (iv) settlements with tax authorities. Changes in any of these factors may result in adjustments to our reserves, which would impact our reported financial results.

Intangible Assets. Under the provisions of SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS 142”), our goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are no longer amortized. Our intangible assets with definite lives are recorded at cost and amortized over their respective estimated useful lives and are reviewed for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” For example, with the recent completion of the earnout payments in connection with the acquisition of Scanner-related technology, we have recorded an intangible asset of approximately $42.0 million, which we are amortizing over the life of the patent related to the technology. We are required to make judgments regarding the useful life of our intangible assets. With the implementation of SFAS 142, we determined certain intangible assets to have indefinite lives based upon our analysis of the requirements of SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141”) and SFAS 142. Under the provisions of SFAS 142, we are required to test these assets for impairment at least annually. No impairment charges were recognized during the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2005 or 2004. To the extent an impairment is identified in the future, we will record the amount of the impairment as an operating expense in the period in which it is identified.

-17-

Seasonality and Cyclicality

In addition to general economic factors, we are impacted by seasonal factors and trends such as major cultural events and vacation patterns. For example, most Asian markets celebrate their respective local New Year in the first quarter, which generally has a negative impact on that quarter. We believe that direct selling in Japan, the United States and Europe is also generally negatively impacted during the month of August, which is in our third quarter, when many individuals, including our distributors, traditionally take vacations.

We have experienced rapid revenue growth in certain new markets following commencement of operations. This initial rapid growth has often been followed by a short period of stable or declining revenue, then followed by renewed growth fueled by product introductions, an increase in the number of active distributors and increased distributor productivity. The contraction following initial rapid growth has been more pronounced in certain new markets, due to other factors such as business or economic conditions or distributor distractions outside the market.

Distributor Information

The following table provides information concerning the number of active and executive distributors as of the dates indicated. Active distributors are those distributors and preferred customers who were resident in the countries in which we operated and purchased products for resale or personal consumption directly from us during the three months ended as of the date indicated. Executive distributors are active distributors who have achieved required monthly personal and group sales volumes as well as employed full-time sales representatives in China who have completed a qualification process and receive a salary, labor benefits and bonuses based on their personal sales efforts.

	As of June 30, 2005		As of June 30, 2004
Region:	Active	Executive	Active	Executive
North Asia	351,000	16,052	318,000	15,907
Greater China	245,000	9,059	261,000	8,384
North America	138,000	3,546	126,000	3,157
South Asia/Pacific	75,000	2,064	69,000	2,040
Other Markets	55,000	1,615	34,000	1,085
Total	864,000	32,336	808,000	30,573

Currency Risk and Exchange Rate Information

A majority of our revenue and many of our expenses are recognized primarily outside of the United States, except for inventory purchases, which are primarily transacted in U.S. dollars from vendors in the United States. The local currency of each of our Subsidiaries’ primary markets is considered the functional currency. All revenue and expenses are translated at weighted-average exchange rates for the periods reported. Therefore, our reported revenue and earnings will be positively impacted by a weakening of the U.S. dollar and will be negatively impacted by a strengthening of the U.S. dollar. The Chinese government is beginning to allow the yuan to float more freely against the U.S. dollar and other major currencies. A strengthening of the yuan would benefit our reported revenue and profits and a weakening of the yuan would negatively impact reported revenue and profits. In addition, in recent months we have seen a weakening of the Japanese yen against the U.S. dollar. Any further weakening of the yen would negatively impact reported revenue and profits. Given the uncertainty of exchange rate fluctuations, we cannot estimate the effect of these fluctuations on our future business, product pricing and results of operations or financial condition.

We seek to reduce our exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates through the use of foreign currency exchange contracts, through intercompany loans of foreign currency and through our

-18-

Japanese yen-denominated debt. We do not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. We regularly monitor our foreign currency risks and periodically take measures to reduce the impact of foreign exchange fluctuations on our operating results.

Our foreign currency derivatives are comprised of over-the-counter forward contracts with major international financial institutions. As of June 30, 2005, we had $28.0 million of these contracts with expiration dates through June 2006. All of these contracts were denominated in Japanese yen. For the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2005, we recorded pre-tax losses of $0.2 million and $0.4 million in operating income, all of which were offset against our revenue in Japan, and gains of $0.9 million as of June 30, 2005, net of tax, in other comprehensive income related to the fair market valuation of our outstanding forward contracts. Based on our foreign exchange contracts at June 30, 2005, the impact of a 10% appreciation or 10% depreciation of the U.S. dollar against the Japanese yen would not represent a material potential loss in fair value, earnings or cash flows against these contracts. This potential loss does not consider the underlying foreign currency transaction or translation exposures to which we are subject.

Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

With the exception of historical facts, the statements contained in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that reflect our current expectations and beliefs regarding our future results of operations, performance and achievements. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties and are based upon assumptions and beliefs that may not materialize. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements concerning:

•

our belief that recent modifications to our remuneration plan in China will help us take advantage of the anticipated direct selling regulations;

•

our expectation that our new business operations in Indonesia will meaningfully contribute to revenue growth in the South/Asia Pacific region going forward;

•

our expectation that we will spend approximately $40 million for capital expenditures during 2005;

•

our anticipation that our board of directors will continue to declare quarterly cash dividends and that the cash flows from operations will be sufficient to fund our future dividend payments;

•

our belief that we have sufficient liquidity to be able to meet our obligations on both a short- and long-term basis and that existing cash balances together with future cash flows from operations and existing lines of credit will be adequate to fund our cash needs;

•

our plans to continue protesting and appealing assessments by the Yokohama customs authority for duties on products imported into Japan; and

our belief that recent modifications to our business structure in Japan should eliminate any further customs valuation disputes with respect to future product imports in Japan.

In addition, when used in this report, the words or phrases “will likely result,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “will continue,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe” and similar expressions are intended to help identify forward-looking statements.

We wish to caution readers that our operating results are subject to various risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results and outcomes to differ materially from those discussed or anticipated. Reference is made to the risks and uncertainties described below and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K (which contains a more detailed discussion of the risks and uncertainties related to our business). We also wish to advise readers not to place any undue reliance on the forward-looking statements contained

-19-

in this report, which reflect our beliefs and expectations only as of the date of this report. We assume no obligation to update or revise these forward-looking statements to reflect new events or circumstances or any changes in our beliefs or expectations. Some of the risks and uncertainties that might cause actual results to differ from those anticipated include, but are not limited to, the following:

(a)

Our expansion of operations in China is subject to risks and uncertainties. Our operations there are subject to significant regulatory scrutiny and we have experienced challenges in the past, including interruption of sales activities at certain stores and minor fines being paid in some cases. Because of restrictions on direct selling activities, we have implemented a modified business model for this market using retail stores and an employed sales force. Our operations in China may be modified or otherwise harmed by regulatory changes, subjective interpretations of laws or an inability to work effectively with national and local government agencies. In addition, as our number of sales representatives grows we could face increasing risks that improper actions by these local sales employees, or any overseas distributors, in violation of local laws or our policies could result in regulatory investigations and penalties that could harm our business.

(b)

Chinese regulators have indicated that they intend to publish new direct selling regulations shortly. There can be no assurance that these regulations will be adopted or, if adopted, that they will benefit us. While we anticipate we will be able to obtain a direct selling license under any new proposed regulations, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain such a license should we apply. There has been some uncertainty and confusion regarding the direction of the new regulations and the type of restrictions or requirements that may be imposed under such regulations. Although we currently do not operate a direct selling business in China, our future growth could be harmed if the regulations are not adopted or are unfavorable, if the adoption or implementation of new regulations are delayed further than anticipated or if we are unable to obtain a license for direct selling under these regulations. In the event the new regulations prevent us from offering a distributor compensation model comparable to what we offer in other markets, our business may be negatively impacted. In addition, if the Chinese government adopts new direct selling regulations, these regulations could negatively impact our current business model in China if they incorporate changes that impose restrictions on us, or if interpretations of existing laws change as a result of such new regulations which require us to make changes to our business model in ways that could harm our business in this market.

(c)

The transition of our operations in China to direct selling under the anticipated regulations is subject to risks and uncertainties. In anticipation of the adoption of the regulations, we have recently made some modifications to our remuneration plan in China that we believe will help us take advantage of the new regulations once adopted. Our sales representatives will require time to understand the impact of the new remuneration plan on their sales activities and adjust their sales and training activities to fit the new plan. Whenever significant changes are made to our remuneration plans, there are risks that such changes and transitions could negatively impact revenue more than we anticipate. If the changes to our plan are not understood or are viewed negatively by our sales representatives, or if they fail to successfully incorporate these changes into their sales models and take advantage of them, enthusiasm may be dampened and our business may lose momentum, which would harm our operating results. Similarly, if the changes allowed in our business model by the anticipated regulations fail to generate sufficient enthusiasm among sales representatives to drive growth, our business there may be harmed.

(d)

Because a substantial majority of our sales are generated in Asia, particularly Japan, significant variations in operating results including revenue, gross margin and earnings from those expected could be caused by:

•

renewed or sustained weakness of Asian economies or consumer confidence, such as difficult economic and political conditions in Korea;

•

weakening of foreign currencies, particularly the Japanese yen; or

-20-

•

political unrest or uncertainty;

(e)

Our ability to retain key and executive level distributors or to sponsor new executive distributors is critical to our success. Because our products are distributed exclusively through our distributors and we compete with other direct selling companies in attracting distributors, our operating results could be adversely affected if our existing and new business opportunities and incentives, products, business tools and other initiatives do not generate sufficient enthusiasm and economic incentive to retain our existing distributors or to sponsor new distributors on a sustained basis. For example, the introduction of the Scanner, changes in compensation incentives and focus on automatic delivery programs have helped generate growth throughout our markets, most recently in Japan. There can be no assurance that such initiatives will continue to generate excitement among our distributors in the long-term or that planned initiatives tied to the Scanner in markets like the United States where the Scanner was introduced more than two years ago will be successful in maintaining distributor activity and productivity.

(f)

As we open the Indonesia market in August and as we prepare for the adoption of direct selling regulations in China, we anticipate that some distributor leaders in other markets will shift their focus away from their home markets and towards business prospects in these two markets. This shift of focus of distributor leaders can negatively impact distributor leadership and growth in these other markets and consequently negatively impact revenue. In addition, if Indonesia and China are not as successful as the distributor leaders from these other markets anticipate, this can also dampen distributor enthusiasm.

(g)

As with any new technology, we have experienced technical issues in developing and manufacturing the Scanner. In addition, in March 2003 the United States Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) questioned its status as a non-medical device and we subsequently filed an application with the FDA to have the Scanner classified as a non-medical device. The FDA has not yet acted on our application. There are various factors that could determine whether the Scanner is a medical device, including the claims that we or our distributors make about it. We face similar regulatory issues in other markets with respect to the status of the Scanner as a non-medical device and the claims that can be made in using it. For example, during the second quarter of 2005 we faced a regulatory inquiry in Korea regarding distributor claims with respect to the Scanner. Although this matter was resolved in our favor, our revenue in that market going forward could be negatively impacted if we face similar issues in the future or if such inquiries weaken distributor enthusiasm surrounding the Scanner. A determination in any market that the Scanner is a medical device or that distributors are using it to make medical claims could negatively impact our ability to use the Scanner in such market. In addition, if distributors make claims regarding the Scanner outside of claims approved by us, or use it in a manner not authorized by us, this could result in regulatory actions against our business.

(h)

The network marketing and nutritional supplement industries are subject to various laws and regulations throughout our markets, many of which involve a high level of subjectivity and are inherently fact-based and subject to interpretation. Recent negative publicity concerning ephedra (which we have never sold) and other supplements with controversial ingredients has spurred efforts to change existing regulations or adopt new regulations in order to impose further restrictions and regulatory control over the nutritional supplement industry. If our existing business practices or products, or any new initiatives or products, are challenged or found to contravene any of these laws by any governmental agency or other third party, or if there are any changes in regulations applicable to our business or any of our nutritional products that limit our ability to market such products, our revenue and profitability may be harmed.

(i)

Due to the international nature of our business, we are subject from time to time to reviews and audits by the foreign taxing authorities of the various jurisdictions in which we conduct business throughout the world. These audits sometimes result in challenges by such taxing authorities as

-21-

to our methodologies used in determining our income tax, duties, customs, and other amounts owed in connection with the importation and distribution of our products. For example, we were recently assessed by the Japan customs authorities for additional duties on products imported into Japan, and we are currently contesting this assessment. Audits are also often focused on whether or not certain expenses are deductible for tax purposes in a given country. Currently, audits are underway with respect to this issue in a number of our markets, including Taiwan. To the extent we are unable to successfully defend ourselves against such audits and reviews, we may be required to pay assessments and penalties and increased duties, which may, individually or in the aggregate, negatively impact our gross margins and operating results.

(j)

Production difficulties and quality control problems could harm our business. Occasionally, we have experienced production difficulties with respect to our products, including the delivery of products that do not meet our quality control standards. These quality problems have resulted in the past, and could result in the future, in stock outages or shortages in our markets with respect to such products, harming our sales and creating inventory write-offs for unusable products.

ITEM 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The information required by Item 3 of Part I of Form 10-Q is incorporated herein by reference from the section entitled “Currency Risk and Exchange Rate Information” in “Item 2 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of Part I and also in Note 5 to the Financial Statements contained in Item 1 of Part I.

Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in internal controls.

During the most recent fiscal quarter covered by this report, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

We issued 150,000 shares of Class A common stock on April 11, 2005 and an additional 150,000 shares on May 19, 2005 to an individual as a contingent payment installment required pursuant to a previous agreement for the acquisition of technology rights dated March 6, 2002. We issued the shares in reliance upon the exemption provided in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.

⁽¹⁾

In August 1998, our board of directors approved a plan to repurchase $10.0 million of our Class A common stock in open market transactions. Our board has from time to time increased the amount authorized under the plan and a total amount of $110.0 million is currently authorized. As of June 30, 2005, we had repurchased approximately $94.4 million of shares under the plan. There has been no termination or expiration of the plan since the initial date of approval.

⁽²⁾

We have authorized the repurchase of shares acquired by our employees in certain Asian markets because of regulatory and other issues that make it difficult and costly for these persons to sell such shares in the open market. These shares were awarded or acquired in connection with our initial public offering in 1996. Of the shares listed in this column, 3,101 shares for May and 2,149 shares for June relate to repurchases from such employees at an average per share price of $21.26 and $22.25, respectively.

OTHER INFORMATION

On August 8, 2005, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of our board of directors approved a new form of Indemnification Agreement (the “Indemnification Agreement”) to be entered into with our board members and certain of our executive officers in place of previous indemnification agreements.

INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

THIS INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into this day of , 200 between Nu Skin Enterprises, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Corporation”), and (“Indemnitee”).

RECITALS:

A. WHEREAS, Indemnitee, an officer or a member of the Board of Directors of Corporation, performs a valuable service in such capacity for Corporation; and

B. WHEREAS, the directors of Corporation have adopted Bylaws (the “Bylaws”) providing for the indemnification of the officers, directors, agents and employees of Corporation to the maximum extent authorized by Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended (the “DGCL”); and

C. WHEREAS, the Bylaws and the DGCL, by their non-exclusive nature, permit contracts between Corporation and the members of its Board of Directors and officers with respect to indemnification of such directors and officers; and

D. WHEREAS, in accordance with the authorization as provided by the DCGL, Corporation has purchased or may purchase a policy or policies of Directors and Officers Liability Insurance (“D & O Insurance”), covering certain liabilities that may be incurred by its directors and officers in their performance as directors and officers of Corporation; and

E. WHEREAS, as a result of developments affecting the terms, scope and availability of D & O Insurance there exists general uncertainty as to the extent of protection afforded members of the Board of Directors and officers by such D & O Insurance and by statuary and bylaw indemnification provisions; and

F. WHEREAS, in order to induce Indemnitee to serve as a member of the Board of Directors or as an officer of Corporation, Corporation has determined and agreed to enter into this Agreement with Indemnitee;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of Indemnitee’s service as a director or officer of Corporation after the date hereof, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Indemnity of Indemnitee. Corporation hereby agrees to hold harmless and indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by the provisions of the DGCL, as the same may be amended from time to time (but, in case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than the law permitted Corporation to provide prior to the amendment).

2. Additional Indemnity. Subject only to the exclusions set forth in Section 3 hereof, Corporation hereby further agrees to hold harmless and indemnify Indemnitee:

(a) against any and all expenses (including attorneys’ fees), witness fees, judgments, fines, penalties, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of Corporation) (“Indemnifiable Liabilities Against Third Party Suits”) to which Indemnitee is, was or at any time becomes a party, or is threatened to be made a party, by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is, was or at any time becomes a director, officer, employee or agent of Corporation, or is or was serving or at any time serves at the request of Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise; and

(b) against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the defense or settlement of any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of Corporation (together with Indemnifiable Liabilities Against Third Party Suits, “Indemnifiable Liabilities”) to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is, was or at any time becomes a director, officer, employee or agent of Corporation, or is or was serving or at any time serves at the request of Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of Corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to Corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses that the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

(c) otherwise to the fullest extent as may be provided to Indemnitee by Corporation under the non-exclusivity provisions of Article 5 of the Bylaws of Corporation and the DGCL.

3. Limitations on Additional Indemnity. No indemnity pursuant to Section 2 hereof shall be paid by Corporation:

(a) except to the extent the aggregate of losses to be indemnified thereunder exceeds the sum of such losses for which Indemnitee is indemnified pursuant to Section 1 hereof or pursuant to any D & O Insurance purchased and maintained by Corporation;

(b) in respect to remuneration paid to Indemnitee if it shall be determined by a final judgment or other final adjudication that such remuneration was in violation of law;

(c) on account of any suit in which judgment is rendered against Indemnitee for an accounting of profits made from the purchase or sale by Indemnitee of securities of Corporation pursuant to the provisions of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or similar provisions of any federal, state or local statutory law;

(d) on account of Indemnitee’s conduct that is finally adjudged to have been knowingly fraudulent or deliberately dishonest, or to constitute willful misconduct;

(e) on account of Indemnitee’s conduct that is the subject of an action, suit or proceeding described in Section 8(c)(ii) hereof;

(f) on account of any action, claim or proceeding (other than a proceeding referred to in Section 10(b) hereof) initiated by Indemnitee unless such action, claim or proceeding was authorized in the specific case by action of the Board of Directors; and

(g) if a final decision by a court having jurisdiction in the matter shall determine that such indemnification is not lawful (and, in this respect, both Corporation and Indemnitee have been advised that the Securities and Exchange Commission believes that indemnification for liabilities under the federal securities laws is against public policy and is, therefore, unenforceable and that claims for indemnification should be submitted to appropriate courts for adjudication).

4. Change in Control.

(a) The Corporation agrees that if there is a Change in Control of the Corporation (other than a Change in Control which has been approved by a majority of the Corporation’s Board of Directors who were directors immediately prior to such Change in Control) then with respect to all matters thereafter arising concerning the rights of Indemnitee to payments of Indemnifiable Liabilities under this Agreement and advancement of expenses under Section 8 of this Agreement or under any other agreement or under the Corporation’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, as now or hereafter in effect, the Corporation shall only take a position on the coverage or terms of the indemnification available under such documents after seeking advice from legal counsel selected by Indemnitee and approved by the Corporation (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) (“Independent Legal Counsel”). Such counsel, among other things, shall render its written opinion to the Corporation and Indemnitee as to whether and to what extent Indemnitee would be permitted to be indemnified under applicable law. The Corporation agrees to pay the reasonable fees of the Independent Legal Counsel referred to above and to fully indemnify such counsel against any and all expenses (including attorneys’ fees), claims, liabilities and damages arising out of or relating to this Agreement or its engagement pursuant hereto.

(b) As used in this Agreement, the term “Change in Control” shall mean: (i) a dissolution or liquidation of the Corporation; (ii) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation; (iii) a merger or consolidation in which the Corporation is not the surviving corporation and in which beneficial ownership of securities of the Corporation

representing at least 50% of the combined voting power entitled to vote in the election of directors has changed; or (iv) a reverse merger in which the Corporation is the surviving corporation but the shares of common stock outstanding immediately preceding the merger are converted by virtue of the merger into other property, whether in the form of securities, cash or otherwise, and in which beneficial ownership of securities of the Corporation representing at least 50% of the combined voting power entitled to vote in the election of directors has changed; or (v) an acquisition by any person, entity or group within the meaning of Section 13(d) or 14(d) of the Exchange Act, or any comparable successor provisions (excluding any employee benefit plan, or related trust, sponsored or maintained by the Corporation or subsidiary of the Corporation or other entity controlled by the Corporation) of the beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act or comparable successor rule) of securities of the Corporation representing at least 50% of the combined voting power entitled to vote in the election of directors.

5. Contribution.

(a) If the indemnification provided in Sections 1 and 2 hereof is unavailable by reason of a court decision described in paragraph (g) of Section 3 hereof based on grounds other than any of those set forth in paragraphs (b) through (f) of Section 3 hereof, then in respect of any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding in which Corporation is jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such action, suit or proceeding), Corporation shall contribute to the amount of expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred and paid or payable by Indemnitee in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect (i) the relative benefits received by Corporation on the one hand and Indemnitee on the other hand from the transaction from which such action, suit or proceeding arose, and (ii) the relative fault of Corporation on the one hand and of Indemnitee on the other in connection with the events that resulted in such expenses, judgments, fines or settlement amounts, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of Corporation on the one hand and of Indemnitee on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, the parties relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent the circumstances resulting in such expenses, judgments, fines or settlement amounts. Corporation agrees that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5 were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation that does not take account of the foregoing equitable considerations.

(b) The determination as to the amount of the contribution, if any, shall be made by:

(i) a court of competent jurisdiction upon the application of both Indemnitee and Corporation (if an action or suit had been brought in, and final determination had been rendered by, such court); or

(ii) the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding.

6. Continuation of Obligations. All agreements and obligations of Corporation contained herein shall continue during the period Indemnitee is a director, officer, employee or agent of Corporation (or is or was serving at the request of Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, employee benefit plan or other enterprise) and shall continue thereafter so long as Indemnitee is subject to any possible or threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal or investigative, by reason of the fact that Indemnitee was a director of Corporation or serving in any other capacity referred to herein.

7. Notification and Defense of Claim. Not later than thirty (30) days after receipt by Indemnitee of notice of the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding, Indemnitee will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against Corporation under this Agreement, notify Corporation of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify Corporation will not relieve Corporation from any liability that it may have to Indemnitee otherwise than under this Agreement. With respect to any such action, suit or proceeding as to which Indemnitee notifies Corporation of the commencement thereof:

(a) Corporation will be entitled to participate therein at its own expense;

(b) except as otherwise provided below, to the extent that it may wish, Corporation jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified will be entitled to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee. After notice from Corporation to Indemnitee of its election so as to assume the defense thereof, Corporation will not be liable to Indemnitee under this Agreement for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation or as otherwise provided below. Indemnitee shall have the right to employ its counsel in such action, suit or proceeding but the fees and expenses of such counsel incurred after notice from Corporation of its assumption of the defense thereof shall be at the expense of Indemnitee unless (i) the employment of counsel by Indemnitee has been authorized by Corporation, (ii) Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between Corporation and Indemnitee in the conduct of the defense of such action, suit or proceeding or (iii) Corporation shall not in fact have employed counsel to assume the defense of such action, in each of which cases the fees and expenses of Indemnitee’s separate counsel shall be at the expense of Corporation. Corporation shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any action, suit or proceeding brought by or on behalf of Corporation or as to which Indemnitee shall have made the conclusion provided for in clause (ii) above;

(c) Corporation shall not be liable to indemnify Indemnitee under this Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of any action, suit or proceeding or claim affected without its written consent. Corporation shall be permitted to settle any action, suit or proceeding except that it shall not settle any action, suit or proceeding in any manner that would impose any penalty or limitation on Indemnitee without Indemnitee’s written consent. Neither Corporation nor Indemnitee will unreasonably withhold its consent to any proposed settlement.

8. Advancement and Repayment of Expenses.

(a) In the event that Indemnitee employs his own counsel pursuant to Section 7(b)(i) through (iii) above, Corporation shall advance to Indemnitee, prior to any final disposition of any threatened or pending action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, administrative or investigative, any and all reasonable expenses (including legal fees and expenses) incurred in investigating or defending any such action, suit or proceeding within ten (10) days after receiving copies of invoices presented to Indemnitee for such expenses.

(b) Indemnitee agrees that he will reimburse Corporation for all reasonable expenses paid by Corporation in defending any civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding against Indemnitee in the event and only to the extent it shall be determined by a final judicial decision (from which there is no right of appeal) that Indemnitee is not entitled under the provisions of the DGCL, the Bylaws, this Agreement or otherwise, to be indemnified by Corporation for such expenses.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Corporation shall not be required to advance such expenses to Indemnitee if Indemnitee (i) commences any action, suit or proceeding as a plaintiff; unless such advance is specifically approved by a majority of the Board of Directors, or (ii) is a party to an action, suit or proceeding brought by Corporation and approved by a majority of the Board of Directors that alleges willful misappropriation of corporate assets by Indemnitee, disclosure of confidential information in violation of Indemnitee’s fiduciary or contractual obligations to Corporation, or any other willful and deliberate breach in bad faith of Indemnitee’s duty to Corporation or its stockholders.

(d) Notwithstanding anything contained herein, in the event any payment of Indemnifiable Liabilities would be deemed to violate the prohibitions against loans to directors or executive officers contained in Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 or any comparable rule or regulation, then the payment of such Indemnifiable Liabilities shall be restructured by Corporation in such a manner as may be determined by the reasonable business judgment of its disinterested directors to comply with the provisions of these regulations.

9. Partial Indemnification. If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Corporation for some or a portion of Indemnifiable Liabilities incurred, but not, however, for all of the total amount thereof, the Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for the portion of such Indemnifiable Liabilities to which Indemnitee is entitled.

10. Enforcement.

(a) Corporation expressly confirms and agrees that it has entered into this Agreement and assumed the obligation imposed on Corporation hereby in order to induce Indemnitee to serve as a director or officer of Corporation, and acknowledges that Indemnitee is relying upon this Agreement in serving in such capacity.

(b) In the event Indemnitee is required to bring any action to enforce rights or to collect moneys due under this Agreement and is successful in such action, Corporation shall reimburse Indemnitee for all of Indemnitee’s reasonable fees and expenses in bringing and pursuing such action.

11. Burden of Proof. In connection with any determination by the Reviewing Party or otherwise as to whether the Indemnitee is entitled to be indemnified hereunder, the burden of proof shall be on Corporation to establish that Indemnitee is not so entitled. As used in this Agreement, the term “Reviewing Party” shall mean any person or body appointed by the Board of Directors and approved by the Indemnitee (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) in accordance with applicable law to review Corporation’s obligations hereunder and under applicable law. The Reviewing Party may include any member of Corporation’s Board of Directors, any independent legal counsel selected by Corporation, or any other person or body who is not a party to the particular Claim for which the Indemnified Person is seeking indemnification, in each case as appointed by the Board of Directors.

12. Appeal. If any Reviewing Party determines that the Indemnitee substantively is not entitled to be indemnified hereunder, in whole or in part, under applicable law, or fails to undertake its obligations under this Agreement within a reasonable timeframe, the Indemnitee shall have the right to commence litigation to seek an initial determination by the court or to challenge any such determination by such Reviewing Party or any aspect thereof, including the legal or factual bases therefor, and Corporation hereby consents to service of process and to appear in any such proceeding. Absent such litigation, any determination by any Reviewing Party shall be conclusive and binding upon Corporation and the Indemnitee.

13. Subrogation. In the event of payment under this Agreement, Corporation shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of each Indemnitee, who shall execute all documents required and shall do all acts that may be necessary to secure such rights and to enable Corporation effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights.

14. Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The contract rights conferred on Indemnitee by this Agreement shall be in addition to, but not exclusive of any other right that Indemnitee may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provisions of Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, agreement, vote of the stockholders or directors, or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding office.

15. Survival of Rights. The rights conferred on Indemnitee by this Agreement shall continue after Indemnitee has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or other agent of Corporation and shall inure to the benefit of Indemnitee’s heirs, executors and administrators.

16. Separability. Each of the provisions of this Agreement is a separate and distinct agreement and is independent of the others, so that if any or all of the provisions hereof are held to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, such invalidity or enforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof or the obligation of Corporation to indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent provided by the Bylaws or the DGCL.

17. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be interpreted and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.

18. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon Indemnitee and upon Corporation, its successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of Indemnitee, his heirs, personal representatives and assigns and to the benefit of Corporation, its successors and assigns.

19. Amendment and Termination. No amendment, modification, termination or cancellation of this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing signed by both parties hereto.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement on and as of the day and year first above written.

Exhibit 10.3 2Q FORM 10-Q NSE 2005

Nu Skin Enterprises
Senior Executive Benefits Policy

This Benefits Policy applies to senior executive officers of Nu Skin Enterprises, Inc., (the “Company” or “NSE”) including the Chairman, CEO, Senior Vice Presidents, Executive Vice Presidents, and any other senior managers designated by the CEO (collectively referred to as “Executive”). This policy takes the place of all previous policies dealing with the matters addressed herein and is effective as of July 21, 2005.

Computers — Executive will be provided a telephone, fax, computer and printer for their work as well as similar equipment for one home office. In addition, a laptop or notebook computer will be provided to accommodate work and communication away from the office and Executive’s primary residence. The equipment employed away from the office will be designated by NSE’s IT department so that the equipment is compatible with NSE systems and so that the Company can take advantage of existing vendor relationships. The equipment will also be tagged with an NSE identification to insure its inclusion on NSE’s books and records. The IT equipment coordinator for Executive will be Jay Brown Jr. All requests for equipment and equipment maintenance will go through the IT equipment coordinator.

Cell Phones — Executive will be provided a cell phone for business use. Personal use of up to $500/month will be reimbursed to the Executive. The Company will pay for the phone, reasonable peripheral phone equipment as well as the monthly telephone charges on the phone. Cell phone usage other than through Executive’s primary cell phone provided by the Company will be the responsibility of the Executive. Business usage of secondary cell phones will be reimbursed through the Company’s standard expense reimbursement procedure, i.e., Executive will submit the bill for reimbursement indicating the portion of the bill that reflects business usage.

Finance — Executive will be provided tax return preparation work for personal tax returns, including estates, trusts, other estate planning vehicles, and wholly-owned small businesses. In addition, the Company will provide access to designated finance personnel for other tax/estate planning work. Finance personnel asked to provide services will track the number of hours they spend on such services for the requesting Executive on an Executive Support Log. For finance personnel whose salaries are less than $60,000/year, the hourly rate for these services will be $35/hour. For finance personnel whose salaries are above $60,000, the hourly rate for these services will be $60/hour. Tax return preparation work will be provided as a perquisite to Executive, with the value of that work grossed up for income tax purposes. All other services will be provided on a non-grossed up basis, so that Executive is responsible for the income taxes associated with the Company providing this benefit. In the event the total value of a particular Executive’s use of finance personnel for all non-perquisite uses exceeds $10,000 in a given year, the Executive will reimburse the Company for the amount in excess of $10,000.

Dispatch — The Company will provide dispatch, courier and shuttle services such as travel assistance, to and from airports, equipment pick up, document delivery, all in connection with Company business, at no charge to Executive. These services for non-business issues will be treated as described below.

5.	Security — Executive may request security services for the benefit of themselves and their families as Executive may deem necessary from time to time at no charge to Executive.

Employees — Executive will be able to use designated Company employees to assist with certain personal matters as long as the employee providing services makes Company responsibilities his/her primary responsibility and priority. Those employees will track their time using an approved Executive Support Log. The value of the services provided by Company employees will then be charged to the Executive, with the charges deducted from the Executive’s periodic salary check on an after-tax basis, or the Executive may elect to reimburse the Company for the billed services by check. The services provided, the employees who are allowed to provide personal assistance, and the applicable billing rate for personal matters will be as follows:

Service Employee Hourly Rate

Service	Employee	Hourly Rate
Bill Paying/Checkbook Management	Jay Brown Sr.	$45

Private Property Maintenance/Repairs	Steve Shoell Aux. Services Personnel	$45 $20

Dispatch, Courier, Errands and the Like	Aux Services	$15

Automobile/Motor Maintenance and Repairs	Aux Services	$25

The coordinator for the use of Auxiliary Services personnel will be Steve Shoell. The above rates may be modified in the event the Company’s standard “Butler Service Program” for employees generally provides any of the above services at a lower rate.

Product — Executive will have access to Company products free of charge up to $2,500 (wholesale value) per month. Additional product will be reimbursed by the Executive at the Company’s cost. This policy is exclusive of additional access to non-resaleable product that is available at the employee store.

8.	Boys Club — Commitments of up to $5,000 per year by Executive will be reimbursed by the Company.

9.	Xmas Trees — The purchase of any Christmas tress from the Festival of the Trees for personal use are personal expenses. Trees used by the Company will be reimbursed.

10.	Tickets — Tickets to athletic events that are used by the Company for corporate use will be reimbursed to the contributing Executive at the actual price paid by the Executive.

11.	Lunches — A daily lunch in the high-rise cafeteria will be provided by the Company.

12.	Life Insurance — The Company will purchase and, during the term of the Executive’s employment by the Company, maintain a life insurance policy on the life of the Executive.

13.

Travel — Commercial aircraft is the standard means of long-distance corporate transportation. The CEO will establish appropriate travel policies with respect to the use of commercial airlines (e.g., identifying those who may travel first class, etc.). The Chairman may use private, chartered aircraft for travel to distributor events, conventions, and the like. When private aircraft is chartered, management traveling to the same event is expected, when feasible, to also use the chartered aircraft to minimize travel costs. The CEO may also authorize the use of private aircraft when required to meet multiple corporate obligations or other emergency purposes. The company will not pay the costs of private aircraft for non-business use. Reimbursed travel expenses of spouses and other family members to company events via private or commercial aircraft requires the prior approval of the Compensation Committee.

This Benefits Policy shall not preclude Executive from participating in or receiving other benefits generally available to all employees, such as insurance, or all Vice-Presidents of the Company, such as use of event tickets and access to company-owned or leased personal or real property on a grossed-up for tax basis consistent with the policies established for such benefits.

Except as set forth above or the preceding sentence, all other benefits provided by the Company to Executives, must be pre-approved by the Compensation Committee.

This Benefits Policy is not a contractual obligation of the Company, and the Company shall have the right at any time to modify, alter, amend, or terminate this Benefits Policy, in whole or in part, prospectively or retroactively.

Any property or service that Executive receives in lieu of or in addition to regular taxable wages is a fringe benefit that may be subject to taxation. Executive should consult his or her tax advisor regarding the tax consequences of the above benefits.
