Notes to Financial Statements
MARKET AMERICA, INC. October 31, 2000 (Unaudited)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Interim Financial Information
The unaudited interim financial statements of Market America, Inc. (the
"Company") as of October 31, 2000 and 1999 have been prepared in accordance with
the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of
management, the accompanying interim financial statements contain all
adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present
fairly the Company's financial statements as of October 31, 2000 and 1999 and
for the three and six-month periods ended October 31, 2000 and 1999. Management
suggests that these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's latest
Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for the three and
six-month periods ended October 31, 2000 may not be indicative of the results
that may be expected for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2001.
Earnings Per Share
The Company computes earnings per share ("EPS") based upon the requirements of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128. This statement specifies
the calculation, presentation and disclosure requirements for both basic and
diluted EPS. The Company does not have any securities or contracts outstanding
with dilutive potential for its common shares.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform with
the current period financial statements presentations. Reclassifications made
had no effect on previously reported net income.
Related Party Transactions
In December 1999, the Company entered into an agreement with a company owned by
Mr. and Mrs. James H. Ridinger, officers and directors of the Company, to lease
real estate in Miami, Florida for direct sales training and education, as well
as other corporate functions. The twenty-year lease requires a monthly rental
payment of $60,000. The Company is committed to construct a training and meeting
facility on this leased property during the year ending April 30, 2001 for a
cost of approximately $1.85 million to provide additional space. The amount of
rent expense under this agreement aggregated to $180,000 and $360,000 for the
three and six-month periods ended October 31, 2000, respectively. The related
company owed the Company $5,131 at October 31, 2000.
The Company also has a 33-year net ground lease with a related company, owned by
Mr. and Mrs. Ridinger, for real estate in Greensboro, North Carolina on which
the Company's new office and distribution center was constructed. Required
rental payments under the original lease were $10,666 per month. In October
2000, the agreement was amended to require monthly rental payments of $17,000.
The amount of rent expense under this agreement aggregated to $38,332 and
$70,330 for the three and six-month periods ended October 31, 2000,
respectively.
Notes receivable, officers, directors and employees included amounts due from
officers and directors of $ 376,960 at October 31, 2000.
All of the Company's leasehold improvements are to properties leased from
related companies owned by Mr. and Mrs. Ridinger.
Related party transactions in past periods are more fully described in the
Company's most recent annual report on Form 10-K.

ITEM 2 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company had unrestricted and restricted cash on deposit with various
financial institutions and available-for-sale debt securities totaling $57.2 as
of October 31, 2000 compared to $55.8 million as of April 30, 2000. The $57.2
million as of October 31, 2000 was comprised of $38.0 million of unrestricted
cash, $2.9 million of restricted cash and $16.3 million of available for sale
securities.
The restricted cash consisted primarily of certificates of deposit, which were
restricted for use as collateral under a guarantee of a $5.3 million loan
extended by a financial institution to a related company controlled by Mr. and
Mrs. James H. Ridinger, officers and directors of the Company, during fiscal
2000. The loan proceeds were used by the related company to purchase real estate
in Miami, Florida. The Company is leasing this real estate under a twenty-year
agreement. The real estate is to be used for direct sales training and education
as well as other corporate functions (see Related Party Transactions in the
Notes to Financial Statements above). The Company is committed to construct a
$1.85 million training and meeting facility on the leased property in order to
provide additional space for distributor events and corporate meetings. The
costs of this facility will be funded from cash flow from operations.
The available-for-sale debt securities consist of obligations of governmental
agencies and commercial paper. These securities were purchased in order to
increase the Company's yield on assets pending use in the Company's business and
can be converted into cash if the need arise.
In July 2000, the Company completed its new 102,000 square foot office and
distribution facility in Greensboro, North Carolina. The Company financed the
building with approximately $2.4 million of cash from operations and a five-year
$2.1 million loan bearing interest at 7.625% annually. The loan requires 59
monthly payments of $19,750, including interest, with a balloon payment of all
outstanding principal and interest due as the 60th payment. The building was
constructed on land leased from a related company (see "Related Party
Transactions" in the Notes to Financial Statements above).
The Company is also a guarantor of a $1.6 million loan by a financial
institution to a related company controlled by Mr. and Mrs. Ridinger. The
proceeds of the loan were used by the related company to purchase the land on
which the Company constructed its new office and distribution facility in
Greensboro, North Carolina. This loan and the Company's building loan are
cross-collateralized by the land being leased from the related company and by
the building constructed thereon by the Company. The guaranteed loan is
repayable over a five-year period.
Management believes that its current level of cash and cash equivalents and its
cash provided by operations will provide sufficient resources for operations in
the foreseeable future. In the event that the Company's operating environment
becomes adverse, there can be no assurance that additional financing would not
be required.
Results of Operations
The Company's sales continued to grow during the three and six-month periods
ended October 31, 2000. Net sales increased 1.5% to $35.3 million from $34.8
million for the quarter ended October 31, 2000 compared to the same period in
1999. Net sales also increased by 4.9% to $68.9 million from $65.6 million for
the six-month period ended October 31, 2000 compared to the same period in 1999.
Fiscal 2001 sales through October 31, 2000 have not maintained historical growth
trends. Management believes the slower sales growth in fiscal 2001 is due to a
decrease in distributor recruiting. The number of new distributors entering the
business during the six-month period ending October 31, 2000 decreased by 26.3%
compared to the same period last year. The Company is investigating the reasons
for this and exploring ways to increase distributor recruitment.

ITEM 2 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - CONTINUED
Commission expense was $14.8 million and $15.5 million for the three-month
periods ended October 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Commission expense was
$30.4 million and $29.8 million for the six-month periods ended October 31, 2000
and 1999, respectively. Commissions, as a percentage of sales, were 42.0% and
44.6% for the three-month periods ended October 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively,
and 44.2% and 45.4% for the six-month periods ended October 31, 2000 and 1999,
respectively. Management anticipates that commission expense will range from 43%
to 47% of sales on an annual basis.
General and administrative expenses were $4.0 million and $3.2 million for the
three-month periods ended October 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively, and $7.9
million and $6.1 million for the six-month periods ended October 31, 2000 and
1999, respectively. As a percentage of sales, general and administrative
expenses were 11.4% and 9.1% for the three-month periods ended October 31, 2000
and 1999, respectively, and 11.4% and 9.3% for the six-month periods ended
October 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. For the three and six-month periods
ended October 31, 2000 and 1999, other general and administrative expenses
included the following items:

========== ========== ========== ==========
</TABLE>
The timing of officer bonuses for fiscal 2001 increased salary expense for both
the three and six-month periods ended October 31, 2000 by $300,000. The
remainder of the increase in salary expense for the fiscal 2001 periods is
primarily due to additional human resources allocated to the Company's expansion
of its web site.
Management decisions during fiscal 2000 to upgrade facilities in both
Greensboro, North Carolina and Miami, Florida in order to better serve the needs
of the Company's distributors has led to increased general and administrative
expenses in several areas. Lease expense increased due to the addition of a
larger office and training facility in Miami during the third quarter of fiscal
2000. The rise in consulting costs can be attributed to renovations of the Miami
training and office facility. The capitalized costs of these facilities and the
equipment and furnishings for both resulted in increased depreciation expense
for the fiscal 2001 periods.
Legal and professional fees were down in the six-month period ending October 31,
2000, due to large costs associated with settlement of the Securities and
Exchange Commission administrative proceeding during the six-month period ending
October 31, 1999. Legal costs were higher during the three-month period ending
October 31, 1999 due to costs incurred defending the Company in a lawsuit
brought by various former distributors, as fully described in the Company's
latest annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2000.
There were no significant costs incurred during the three-month period ended
October 31, 2000 regarding this matter.

ITEM 2 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - CONCLUDED
Insurance expense decreased during the fiscal 2001 periods as a result of
savings associated with the Company's self-insured program for health insurance.
Repairs and maintenance costs were higher during the fiscal 2001 periods due to
larger expenditures associated with the Company's yacht and the Miami training
and office facility.
The increase in other operating expenses during both the fiscal 2001 periods is
primarily a result of higher travel costs due to the Company's emphasis on
distributor recruiting which as had led to an increased corporate presence at
recruiting meetings and events.
The decrease in the income tax provision as a percentage of pretax income for
both the three and six-month periods ended October 31, 2000 is due to the
amendment of state income tax returns for fiscal years 1997, 1998 and 1999.
