USANA Health Sciences Donates $110,000 to Children's Hunger Fund

Funds Will Be Used to Purchase a New Semi Truck for Food Distribution

SALT LAKE CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 17, 2007--USANA Health Sciences, Inc. (NASDAQ: USNA) announced today that it has expanded its long-standing support to a leading international charity, Children's Hunger Fund (CHF), with a $110,000 donation for the purchase and maintenance of a new semi truck for distribution of food, clothing and other critical relief aid.
As a result of USANA's donation, CHF estimates that it will be capable of distributing several million pounds of relief supplies each year, including nearly 2 million meals to needy children and families. USANA will also donate funds annually to offset the costs of operating the new truck, and the company will continue its existing sponsorship of a second truck in CHF's fleet.
"Much of the challenge in serving the needs of poor children is in transportation. We can garner donations from sources all over the country, but if we can't get it to where it's needed, we are simply missing the opportunity," Children's Hunger Fund President Dave Phillips explained. "USANA has become a highly valued corporate partner to CHF, allowing us to reach thousands of needy children each month through their generous support. USANA's decision to support CHF in this way will increase our efficiency and our ability to feed the needy across America and around the world. For that we are extremely grateful."
USANA, a direct sales manufacturer of nutritional and personal-care products, and its thousands of independent distributors have donated more than $4.4 million in cash and products to CHF since 2001. These donations have helped the charity provide thousands of children around the world with daily allotments of Usanimals(TM), USANA's daily nutritional supplement for children, and support numerous families with weekly donations of food and other necessities.
USANA Founder Dr. Myron Wentz has also partnered with CHF to personally fund the construction of two state-of-the-art medical centers. The Wentz Medical Center in Ggaba , Uganda opened its doors in 2005 and now provides diagnostic and preventative care to more than 600 people each month. A second Wentz Medical Center in Cambodia is slated to open this fall.
USANA selected CHF as its charitable partner because of its well-established efficiency, accountability, and integrity. CHF has received national acclaim for being one of the most cost-effective non-profits based in the United States , with more than 99 cents of every dollar going directly to care for the needs of children. In Forbes magazine's 2007 charitable investment guide, CHF was a top-rated charity with 100 percent ratings in all three of Forbes' efficiency ratios. The charity is able to keep its overhead costs low, in part, by soliciting donations of food and other relief supplies from U.S. corporate partners and delivering the donations through a monitored network of ministries. CHF has established partnerships with a wide array of companies including USANA, Dole, Ty Inc., Rite Aid and Del Monte.
"USANA is dedicated to providing opportunities for health and financial stability not only to our distributors and employees, but also to the greater global community," said Mark Wilson , USANA executive vice president of customer relations. "Through a lasting partnership with an exceptional organization like Children's Hunger Fund, USANA has been able to bring real change to people's lives as part of our broader corporate and social responsibility commitment. We are pleased by what we have already accomplished in the fight against childhood hunger, and we look forward to continuing to do our part to help make this world a healthier, happier place for future generations."

USANA Receives GMP Registration and Dietary Supplement Certification Through NSF International

News Release
SALT LAKE CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 2, 2007--USANA Health Sciences, Inc. (NASDAQ: USNA) recently completed a successful audit of its manufacturing facilities by NSF International as part of NSF's Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) Registration program.
USANA voluntarily obtained NSF's third-party validation of its manufacturing facility in the first quarter of 2007. NSF conducted an initial USANA plant audit to verify compliance with its GMP program last year and will continue to conduct semi-annual audits at the company's facility. GMP provide guidelines that cover virtually every aspect of manufacturing, including facility design and maintenance, raw material specification and control, supplier validation, product design and testing, employee training, process control, finished product release and complaint handling. These guidelines help ensure that manufactured products have the identity, strength, composition, quality and purity that they are represented to possess.
According to NSF, "GMP registration reflects (a) continued commitment to ensuring quality and satisfaction and gives companies confidence that their organization operates in conformance to established GMP."
USANA took its certification a step further by also asking NSF to certify its core nutritional products, the Essentials(TM) (Mega Antioxidant and Chelated Mineral), Proflavanol(R) 90, Active Calcium(TM), and HealthPak 100(TM). NSF conducted product testing in its own accredited laboratories to ensure that all of the USANA supplements tested matched labeled amounts, that there were no product ingredients not openly disclosed on the label, and that there were no unacceptable levels of contaminants in the product. USANA successfully met all of these requirements and received NSF dietary supplement certification.
According to Dr. John Cuomo, USANA's Executive Director of Research & Development, the decision to seek out NSF certification is part of USANA's uncompromising commitment to producing high-quality, science-based products. "For years, USANA has led the industry in safety and quality," Dr. Cuomo said. "We have made a commitment to our customers that USANA's quality and manufacturing will be modeled after the strict standards associated with the pharmaceutical industry, and not the less stringent food standards that most supplement manufacturers follow. Our recent NSF certifications--along with other rigorous, third-party audits--offer additional assurance to our customers that USANA provides Nutritionals You Can Trust."

You Can Do This Business Slowly, And Still Retire In Less Than 12 Years!

You don't have to build your business as fast as a hare zipping down the network marketing highway to win the success race. You can still build a very lucrative network marketing business at a slow but steady pace part time. Don & Nancy Failla's article below illustrates this concept perfectly...

WHY BE IN A HURRY?
by Don & Nancy Failla
Most people are going to work thirty to forty years, and what kind of a retirement will they lookforward to? Will they have $50,000 a year or more to retire on? In network marketing it is possible for aperson to retire at better than $50,000 a year in one to three years. So, why be in a hurry?

Do you think you could find one person a year that would like a better lifestyle? Do you think thatperson could find one person a year that would like a better lifestyle? Do you think that person could find oneperson a year, etc., etc.? If you could do what we just described, you could retire at better than $50,000 in twelve years. That certainly beats waiting thirty to forty years!

The sponsor "one-a-year" idea with everybody doing the same would net you 4,096 people in your organizationby the end of the twelfth year. If you would like to check this out, start with yourself and sponsor one person your first year. This gives you a grand total of two people. The second year you, each sponsor one. Now you’ll have a total of four. The third year you will have a total of eight distributors. After that, it progresses geometrically to 4,096.
WOW!

Once a person gets into their head that they can do the "one-a-year" they can then convert to a shorter period of time. Whatever is comfortable for them; for example, sponsoring one person every three months and everyone else doingthe same would get you to the 4,096 distributors by the end of the fourth year, not the twelfth. If you sponsored one a month and everyone did the same, you would get there in a year. So, what's the point in all of this? Why be in a hurry? Never give up-you will make it if you hang in there!

Too many people are brought into our industry thinking they are going to get rich in three to six months. Some quit their jobs premature, and when it doesn't happen, it creates a tremendous hardship for them and their family. This is not a business that you learn and do- it's a business that you learn while you're doing it. You can actually earn while you are learning. Most people getting started in networking have a full-time job and are doing their networking business part-time. It will take most distributors three to nine months until they really understand the business.

It amazes us how people get into networking and give up before they ever know what to do. People go to college for four years, get their degrees, and have no hope of retiring in one to three years. Now days the big hope is just to get a job! We look at this industry as a teaching business and not a selling business. Anyone can do it. If you are selling anything, you are selling hope for a better lifestyle.

The # 1 reason people don't get into our business is because they don't understand it. Do you think if a person understood that all they had to do was sponsor one person a year and teach them to do the same, they could retire in twelve years. Anybody could do that.

So, let's get started and work at your own pace. You can do it in one to twelve years. It's totally up to you. Why keep working for a living when you can work for a better lifestyle?!

USANA'S PRODUCT INTEGRITY

USANA Leads the Industry in Product TestingPoor manufacturing can destroy great science. For this reason, USANA Health Sciences is one of the few companies in its industry to manufacture its own products.

To ensure that the formulas developed in its laboratories are produced consistently for customers, USANA voluntarily meets Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) for pharmaceutical-grade products. These standards are much higher than required by law and eclipse those followed by most nutritional product manufacturers.

USANA voluntarily meets Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) for pharmaceutical-grade products.To adhere to these exacting standards, USANA tests the raw ingredients, tests the product during manufacturing, and tests every product again before it's shipped. USANA's quality assurance team keeps track of every excruciating detail, from the elaborate testing and evaluation of raw materials to the storage and shipping of finished products.

USANA's Income-Producing Business Plan is Revolutionizing how People Create Wealth

The USANA Binary Compensation Plan is a binary system in which you build balanced
left-side and right-side downline organiza-tions for the purpose of selling USANA's nutritional and personal care products. The weekly commissions you earn are based on the balanced Group Sales Volume (GSV) points accumulated in your left-side and right-side downline organizations.
USANA Business Centers are designed to pay you weekly commissions on Sales Volume with no limit to the number of levels from which you can earn your commissions. In addition, a USANA Business Center allows you to be paid on the Sales Volume created by your downline Associates and Preferred Customers.

Another powerful advantage of USANA's program is that there are no monthly group volume requirements. The income you receive from USANA will be in direct proportion to your ability to retail USANA's products to your customers, as well as your ability to build an organization of Associates who, like you, retail to their customers and build an organization of Associates.*
Starting a Business CenterYour sponsor places you in an open position in his or her sales organization (Figure 1). This open position is called a Business Center (BC). Each Business Center has left and right sides in which Sales Volume accumulates. You acti-vate and earn commissions on 1 or 3 Business Centers by following a few simple steps:

A. Complete an Associate Application form and purchase a Business Development System. If you fill out and sign an appli-cation manually you can have a 21-day temporary status by calling USANA Distributor Services or enrolling online while you wait for USANA to receive the written copy.

B. Order USANA products that total 150 points, or 450 points with 3 Business Centers, in Personal Sales Volume (PSV). These products may be for personal use and for retail sale, and may be ordered in a single order or accumulated over time.

C. Order USANA product worth 100 or 200 Personal Sales Volume (PSV) points for 3 Business Centers for personal use and resale every four weeks.

USANA

*The average income for North American Associates in 2005 was $802.62. The earnings portrayed in this literature are not necessarily representative of the income, if any, that a USANA Associate can or will earn through his or her participation in the USANA Compensation Plan. These figures should not be considered as guarantees or projections of your actual earnings or profits. Any representation or guarantee of earnings would be misleading. Success with USANA results only from successful sales efforts, which require hard work, diligence, and leadership. Your success will depend on how effectively you exercise these qualities.

BUSINESS CENTERS:

The Basic Building Blocks
How Business Centers Work to Provide Income for YouAs you begin to build your downline, you have the option to start with 1 Business Center or 3 Business Centers. One Business Center gives you direct income from group volume, whereas 3 Business Centers gives you leveraged income from group volume.

With 1 Business Center, as you sponsor Associates you place them in open positions in your downline (Jill and Bob, Figure 2), always remembering to keep the left and right sides balanced. A unique aspect of the Binary Compensation Plan is that you and everyone in your upline are able to build your downline organization because new Associates are always added downline. This structure creates a synergy wherein everyone benefits when new Associates are added. This translates into faster growth for you and for those in your downline organizations.

If you choose to personally sponsor more people in USANA, you would place them in an open position under either Jill or Bob, which in turn will help their success. Plus, while you sponsor individuals in your sales organization, someone in your upline may also sponsor an Associate and position him or her on the left or right side of your Business Center. However, your success in USANA comes by sponsoring people on your left and right sides, sharing the products with others, and teaching them to do the same.

Calculating Commissions

Commissions are awarded first in commission points, which are converted to the Associates' local currency. Commissions are paid on whole increments of balanced Group Sales Volume (GSV) accumulated in your left and right side organizations (Figure 3). Extra GSV, up to 5,000 points on each side, is carried forward—it's like money in the bank.

Calculating Commissions with 1 Business Center

Assume that your 001 Business Center is active and has 100 points in PSV within the current week. To determine the GSV, which is the combined PSV of your downline from which your commission for the week is calculated, you total the points in PSV generated during the current week from every Business Center in the left and right side of your 001 Business Center. In the example to the right, you have 2,000 points in GSV on your left side and 2,000 points on your right; your own PSV counts toward the GSV of your upline. According to the Commission Payout Schedule (Figure 3) your highest balanced GSV is 2,000 on each side, which would earn you a commission of 400 points.

Watch the Compenstion Plan Video

USANA

CARRYOVER

In Figure 4, you have a total of 3,500 points on your left side and 2,500 points on your right. According to the Commission Payout Schedule, your highest balanced GSV is 2,000 on each side, equaling 400 points for the week. The extra GSV would carry forward, and you would start the next week with 1,500 points in GSV on your left side and 500 points on your right side.

Preferred Customer
Another way to accumulate Group Sales Volume is to add Preferred Customers to the left and right side of your Business Centers (Figure 5). Preferred Customers can order USANA products at Associate prices, but they do not accumulate Personal Sales Volume, nor are they paid commissions. Although you do not earn retail commis-sions from the orders of Preferred Customers, their orders earn points, which are added to your GSV total for the side in which they are placed (left or right). Those Associates who choose not to be Distributors, and thus do not retail products, fulfill their sales require-ments through Preferred Customers.

Additional Income Potential
As you become increasingly successful selling USANA's nutritional and personal care products, you can qualify for Re-Entry Certificates, which allow you to increase your number of Business Centers and your income potential.

Whenever you maximize a Business Center (accumulate 5,000 points in GSV, current and carryover, in both your left and right sides in a single week), you can earn a Re-Entry Certificate (Figure 5). A Re-Entry Certificate allows you to re-enter in your own downline with an additional Business Center. To activate a Business Center with a Re-Entry Certificate, you send a written request to USANA with placement information and generate 150 points in PSV at the time you place the new Re-Entry. The product order corresponding to the PSV generated must be attached to the placement information. You can earn up to two Re-Entry Certificates per Business Center, and no matter how many Business Centers you activate, it only takes 200 points in PSV in your 001 Business Center within each four-week period to keep all of them active.

USANA Watch the Compenstion Plan Video

Doubling Commissions with3 Business Centers

As illustrated in Figure 6, you can see the difference between building a business with 1 Business Center versus 3 Business Centers. As you build Business Centers 002 and 003, you are simultaneously building Business Center 001 without additional effort. With 3 Business Centers, you build balanced legs on two Business Centers and earn commissions on three.
On the right side of Figure 6, you will see that your 002 and 003 Business Centers each have 1,000 points in GSV on the left side and 1,000 points on the right. According to the Commission Payout Schedule, the highest balanced GSV is 1,000, earning you 200 commission points for the week in the 002 and 003 Business Centers. Your 001 Business Center would earn the same 400 points as compared to the one Business Center on the left side of Figure 6. That's an 800-point commission for you—twice the commission for the week.

A Simplefied Explaination

Simplified Version of the USANA Compensation Plan
By Bruce Pierce
-Emerald Director USANA


90 Day Period__________________People

1 __________________________________________2

2__________________________________________ 4

3__________________________________________ 8

4__________________________________________ 16

Total people at the end of the 1rst year: 30

5__________________________________________ 32

6 __________________________________________64

7 __________________________________________128

8 __________________________________________256

Total people at the end of the 2nd year: 510


Using this example, by sponsoring only two committed people in 3 months who are personally consuming 100 volume points in products, and helping those two sponsor two people the following 3 months and continuing the process, you will have a total of 30 people in your group by the end of 12 months. At this point your monthly products are paid for and you will be earning a few hundred dollars a month. Continue working with your group and before the end of your second year, you’ll have maximized one business center and be earning a minimum of $1,000/week.

With 3 Business Centers, just repeat this process over the next two years by sponsoring two people on the inside legs and in less than four years, you will be earning $3,000/week. With the Leadership Bonus at this level, you’ll be earning over $4,000/week of residual income. Not bad for less than 4 years of part-time work!

So let’s not complicate things. The system is extremely simple and consists of two things: (1) Use the products and (2) Share the plan. You don’t need hundreds of people if you work with your sponsor who will properly explain the system to your prospects until you are comfortable with it. This takes less than 10 minutes!

If you want to make things go faster, then sponsor more people. This example is showing what could happen by sponsoring as few as two committed people over a 2 year period and teaching those two to do the same.
