PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
The following Prospectus Summary contains the most material information on
EYI Industries Inc. You should read the entire Prospectus carefully, including
"Risk Factors" and our Financial Statements and the notes to the Financial
Statements before making any investment decision.
OUR COMPANY
We are in the business of selling, marketing, and distributing a product
line consisting of approximately 27 nutritional products in three (3)
categories, dietary supplements, personal care products and water filtration
systems. Our most successful product is Calorad, a liquid collagen-based dietary
supplement presently available on the market. Our products are marketed through
a network marketing program in which IBAs (Independent Business Associates)
purchase products for resale to retail customers as well as for their own
personal use. We have a list of over 380,000 IBAs, of which approximately 8,500
we consider "active". An "active" IBA is one who purchased our products within
the preceding 12 months. Over 1,200 of these IBAs are considered "very active".
A "very active" IBA is one who is on our automatic Convenience Program (formally
called Auto-Ship Program) and is current with their annual administration fee.
Our Convenience Program allows our IBAs to set up a reoccurring order that is
automatically shipped to them each month.
Our independent auditors have added an explanatory paragraph to their
audit issued in connection with the financial statements for the years ended
December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, relative to our ability to continue as
a going concern. We have negative working capital of $1,578,076 and an
accumulated deficit of $12,223,137 incurred through March 31, 2006, which raises
substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability
to obtain additional funding will determine our ability to continue as a going
concern. Accordingly, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue
as a going concern. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that
might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
We have a history of losses. We have incurred an operating loss since
inception and had an accumulated deficit of $12,223,137 as of March 31, 2006.
For the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, we incurred a net loss of
$875,922 and $783,788, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2005 and
2004, we incurred a net loss of $4,262,011 and $4,462,795, respectively.
Consequently, we will in all likelihood, have to rely on external financing for
all of our capital requirements. Future losses are likely to continue unless we
successfully implement our business plan, which calls for us to secure both debt
and equity financing while pursuing acquisitions and/or joint ventures with
companies in the nutritional supplement industry.
The IBAs in our network are encouraged to recruit interested people to
become new distributors of our products. New IBAs are placed beneath the
recruiting IBA in the "network" and are referred to as being in that IBA's
"down-line" organization. Our marketing plan is designed to provide incentives
for IBAs to build, maintain and motivate an organization of recruited
distributors in their down-line organization to maximize their earning
potential. IBAs generate income by purchasing our products at wholesale prices
and reselling them at retail prices. IBAs also earn commissions on product
purchases generated by their down-line organization.
On an ongoing basis we review our product line for duplication and sales
trends and make adjustments accordingly. As of March 31, 2006, our product line
consisted of: (i) 18 dietary supplement products; (ii) 7 personal care products
consisting primarily of cosmetic and skin care products; and (iii) 2 water
filtration system products. Our products are primarily manufactured by
Nutri-Diem, Inc., a related party, and sold by us under a license and
distribution agreement with Nutri-Diem Inc. Certain of our own products are
manufactured for us by third party manufacturers pursuant to formulations
developed for us. Our products are sold to our IBAs located in the United
States, Canada and Asia.
We believe that our network marketing system is suited to marketing
dietary supplements, personal care products and water filtration systems,
because sales of such products are strengthened by ongoing personal contact
between IBAs and their customers. Our network marketing system appeals to a
broad cross-section of people, particularly those looking to supplement family
income or who are seeking part-time work. IBAs are given the opportunity,
through our sponsored events and training sessions, to network with other
distributors, develop selling skills and establish personal goals. We supplement
monetary incentives with other forms of recognition, in order to motivate IBAs.
ABOUT US
Our principal place of business is located at 7865 Edmonds Street,
Burnaby, BC Canada, V3N 1B9 and our telephone number at that address is
604-759-5031.

RISK FACTORS
WE ARE SUBJECT TO VARIOUS RISKS THAT MAY MATERIALLY HARM OUR BUSINESS,
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE
RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES DESCRIBED BELOW AND THE OTHER INFORMATION IN THIS FILING
BEFORE DECIDING TO PURCHASE OUR COMMON STOCK. IF ANY OF THESE RISKS OR
UNCERTAINTIES ACTUALLY OCCUR, OUR BUSINESS, FINANCIAL CONDITION OR OPERATING
RESULTS COULD BE MATERIALLY HARMED. IN THAT CASE, THE TRADING PRICE OF OUR
COMMON STOCK COULD DECLINE AND YOU COULD LOSE ALL OR PART OF YOUR INVESTMENT.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS
We Have Historically Lost Money And Losses May Continue In The Future
We have a history of losses. We have incurred an operating loss since
inception and had an accumulated deficit of $12,223,137 and $11,347,215 as of
March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. Consequently, we will in all
likelihood, have to rely on external financing for all of our capital
requirements. Future losses are likely to continue unless we successfully
implement our business plan, which calls for us to secure both debt and equity
financing while pursuing acquisitions and/or joint ventures with companies in
the nutritional supplement industry.
We Have Been Subject To A Going Concern Opinion From Our Independent Auditors
Our independent auditors have added an explanatory paragraph to their
audit issued in connection with the financial statements for the period ended
December 31, 2005, relative to our ability to continue as a going concern. We
have negative working capital of $1,578,076 and $1,965,030 as of March 31, 2006
and December 31, 2005, respectively, and an accumulated deficit of $12,223,137
incurred through March 31, 2006, which raises substantial doubt about our
ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to obtain additional funding
will determine our ability to continue as a going concern. Accordingly, there is
substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the
outcome of this uncertainty.
If We Are Unable To Raise Additional Capital To Finance Operations, We Will Need
To Curtail Or Cease Our Business Operations
We have relied on significant external financing to fund our operations.
As of March 31, 2006, we had $190,837 in cash and our total current assets were
$582,666. As of December 31, 2005, we had $25,639 in cash and our total current
assets were $382,057. Our current liabilities were $2,160,742 and $2,347,087,
respectively, as of March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005. We will need to raise
additional capital to fund our anticipated operating expenses and future
expansion. Among other things, external financing may be required to cover our
operating costs. Unless we obtain profitable operations, it is unlikely that we
will be able to secure financing from external sources. In the event we do not
obtain the necessary financing to fund our anticipated operating expenses, we
will be forced to reduce our personnel and curtail other operating expenses.
The sale of our common stock to raise capital may cause dilution to our
existing shareholders. Our inability to obtain adequate financing will result in
the need to curtail business operations. Any of these events would be materially
harmful to our business and may result in a lower stock price. Our inability to
obtain adequate financing will result in the need to curtail business operations
and you could lose your entire investment.
Our Common Stock May Be Affected By Limited Trading Volume And May Fluctuate
Significantly
Our common stock is traded on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board. Our
common stock is thinly traded compared to larger, more widely known companies in
the nutritional supplement industry. Thinly traded common stock can be more
volatile than common stock traded in an active public market. The high and low
bid price of our common stock for the last two years was $0.39 and $0.02,
respectively. Our common stock has experienced, and is likely to experience in
the future, significant price and volume fluctuations, which could adversely
affect the market price of our common stock without regard to our operating
performance. In addition, we believe that factors such as quarterly fluctuations
in our financial results and changes in the overall economy or the condition of
the financial markets could cause the price of our common stock to fluctuate
substantially.
5
Our Common Stock Is Deemed To Be "Penny Stock," Which May Make It More Difficult
For Investors To Sell Their Shares Due To Suitability Requirements
Our common stock is deemed to be "penny stock" as that term is defined in
Rule 3a51-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Penny stocks
are stock:
o With a price of less than $5.00 per share;
o That are not traded on a "recognized" national exchange;
o Whose prices are not quoted on the Nasdaq automated quotation system
(Nasdaq listed stock must still have a price of not less than $5.00
per share); or
o In issuers with net tangible assets less than $2.0 million (if the
issuer has been in continuous operation for at least three years) or
$5.0 million (if in continuous operation for less than three years),
or with average revenues of less than $6.0 million for the last
three years.
Broker/dealers dealing in penny stocks are required to provide potential
investors with a document disclosing the risks of penny stocks. Moreover,
broker/dealers are required to determine whether an investment in a penny stock
is a suitable investment for a prospective investor. These requirements may
reduce the potential market for our common stock by reducing the number of
potential investors. This may make it more difficult for investors in our common
stock to sell shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of them. This
could cause our stock price to decline.
The Issuance Of Preferred Stock May Entrench Management Or Discourage A Change
Of Control
Our Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of up to 10,000,000
shares of preferred stock that would have designations rights, and preferences
determined from time to time by our Board of Directors. Accordingly, our Board
of Directors is empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue preferred
stock with dividends, liquidation, conversion, voting, or other rights that
could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of our
common stock. In the event of issuance, the preferred stock could be used, under
certain circumstances, as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a
change in control of the company or, alternatively, granting the holders of
preferred stock such rights as to entrench management. Current members of our
management that are large stockholders may have peculiar interests that are
different form other stockholders. Therefore, conflicting interests of certain
members of management and our stockholders may lead to stockholders desiring to
replace these individuals. In the event this occurs and the holders of our
common stock desired to remove current management, it is possible that our Board
of Directors could issue preferred stock and grant the holders thereof such
rights and preferences so as to discourage or frustrate attempts by the common
stockholders to remove current management. In doing so, management would be able
to severely limit the rights of common stockholders to elect the Board of
Directors. In addition, by issuing preferred stock, management could prevent
other shareholders from receiving a premium price for their shares as part of a
tender offer.
We May Not Be Able To Compete Effectively Against Our Competitors, Which Could
Force Us to Curtail Or Cease Business Operations
Many of our competitors have significantly greater name recognition,
financial resources and larger distribution channels. In addition, our industry
is characterized by low barriers to entity, which means we may face more
competitors in the future. If we are not able to compete effectively against our
competitors, we will be forced to curtail or cease our business operations. Our
main competitors are Usana Health Sciences, Relive International and Mannatech
Incorporated based on product offerings and sales pay structure. Our market
share in the nutrition supplement industry is very small at this time.
Investors Should Not Rely On An Investment In Our Stock For The Payment Of Cash
Dividends
We have not paid any cash dividends on our capital stock and we do not
anticipate paying cash dividends in the future. Investors should not make an
investment in our common stock if they require dividend income. Any return on an
investment in our common stock will be as a result of any appreciation, if any,
in our stock price.
6
There Are No Conclusive Studies Regarding The Medical Benefits Of Nutritional
Products
Many of the ingredients in our current products, and we anticipate in our
future products, will be vitamins, minerals, herbs and other substances for
which there is not a long history of human consumption. Although we believe all
of our products to be safe when taken as directed by us, there is little
experience with human consumption of certain of these product ingredients in
concentrated form. In addition, we are highly dependent upon consumers'
perception of the safety and quality of our products, as well as similar
products distributed by other companies. We could be adversely affected in the
event any of our products or any similar products distributed by other companies
should prove or be asserted to be harmful to consumers. In addition, because of
our dependence upon consumer perceptions, adverse publicity associated with
illness or other adverse effects resulting from consumers' failure to consume
our products as we suggest or other misuse or abuse of our products or any
similar products distributed by other companies could have a material adverse
effect on the results of our operations and financial condition.
Adverse Publicity With Respect To Nutritional Products May Force Us To Curtail
Or Cease Our Business Operations
In the future, scientific research and/or publicity may not be favorable
to the nutritional product market or any particular product, or may be
inconsistent with any earlier favorable research or publicity. Future reports of
research that are unfavorable to nutritional products could force us to curtail
or cease our business operations. Because of our dependence upon consumer
perceptions, adverse publicity associated with illness or other adverse effects
resulting from the consumption of our products or any similar products
distributed by other companies could have a material adverse effect on our
operations. Such adverse publicity could arise even if the adverse effects
associated with such products resulted from consumers' failure to consume such
products as directed. In addition, we may not be able to counter the effects of
negative publicity concerning the efficacy of our products. Any such occurrence
could have a negative effect on our operations and force us to curtail or cease
our business operations.
We Will Have to Develop New Products In Order To Keep Pace With Changing
Consumer Demands Or We Could Be Forced to Cease Or Curtail Our Business
Operations
The dietary supplement industry is highly competitive and characterized by
changing consumer preferences and continuous introduction of new products. Our
goal is to expand our portfolio of dietary supplement products through
acquisition of existing companies and/or products serving niche segments of the
industry. New products must be introduced in a timely and regular basis to
maintain distributor and consumer interest and appeal to varying consumer
preferences.
We believe that any future success of our company will depend, in part, on
our ability to anticipate changes in consumer preferences and acquire, manage,
develop and introduce, in a timely manner, new products that adequately address
such changes. If we are unable to develop and introduce new products or if our
new products are not successful, our sales may be adversely affected as
customers seek competitive products. In the past, we have engaged in very
limited research and development with respect to the development of new
products, as indicated by our lack of research and development expenses. Our
lack of experience in developing and introducing new products combined with our
limited financial resources may prevent us from successfully developing and
introducing any new products in the future. Any reduction in purchases or
consumption of our existing products could force us to curtail or cease our
business operations.
If We Fail To Further Penetrate And Expand Our Business In Existing Markets,
Then The Growth In Sales Of Our Products, Along With Our Operating Results,
Could Be Negatively Impacted
The success of our business is contingent on our ability to continue to
grow by further penetrating existing markets, both domestically and
internationally. Our ability to further penetrate existing markets in which we
compete is subject to numerous factors, many of which are out of our control.
For example, government regulations in both our domestic and international
markets can delay or prevent the introduction, or require the reformulation or
withdrawal, of some of our products, which could negatively impact our business,
financial condition and results of operations. Also, our ability to increase
market penetration in certain countries may be limited by the number of persons
in a given country inclined to pursue a network marketing business opportunity.
Moreover, our growth will depend upon improved training and other activities
that enhance distributor retention in our markets. As we continue to focus on
expanding our existing international operations may increase, which could harm
our financial conditional and operating results.
7
Failure To Expand Into, Or To Succeed In, New International Markets Will Limit
Our Ability To Grow Sales Of Our Products
We believe that our ability to achieve future growth is dependent in part
on our ability to continue our international expansion efforts. However, there
can be no assurance that we could be able to enter new international markets on
a timely basis, or that new markets would be profitable. We must overcome
significant regulatory and legal barriers before we can begin marketing in any
foreign market. Our operations in some markets also may be adversely affected by
political, economic and social instability in foreign countries.
We may be required to reformulate certain of our products before
commencing sales in a given country. Once we have entered a market, we must
adhere to the regulatory and legal requirements of that market. No assurance can
be given that we would be able to successfully reformulate our products in any
of our potential international markets to meet local regulatory requirements or
attract local customers. The failure to do so could result in increased costs of
producing products and adversely affect our financial condition. There can be no
assurance that we would be able to obtain and retain necessary permits and
approvals.
Also, it is difficult to assess the extent to which our products and sales
techniques would be accepted or successful in any given country. In addition to
significant regulatory barriers, we may also encounter problems conducting
operations in new markets with different cultures and legal systems from those
encountered elsewhere.
Additionally, in many markets, other network marking companies already
have significant market penetration, the effect of which could be to desensitize
the local distributor population to a new opportunity, or to make it more
difficult for us to recruit qualified distributors. There can be no assurance
that, even if we were able to commence operations in new foreign countries,
there would be a sufficiently large population of potential distributors
inclined to participate in a network marketing system offered by us. We believe
our future success could depend in part on our ability to seamlessly integrate
our business methods, including our distributor compensation plan, across all
markets in which our products are sold. There can be no assurance that we would
be able to further develop and maintain a seamless compensation program.
We Are Dependent On Our IBAs For Our Product Marketing Efforts; The Loss of A
Significant Number Of IBA's Or The Loss Of A Key IBA Could Adversely Affect our
Sales
Our success and growth depend upon our ability to attract, retain and
motivate our network of IBAs who market our products. IBAs are independent
contractors who purchase products directly from us for resale and their own use.
IBAs typically offer and sell our products on a part-time basis and may engage
in other business activities, possibly including the sale of products offered by
our competitors. Typically, we have non-exclusive arrangements with our IBAs
which may be canceled on short notice and contain no minimum purchase
requirements. While we encourage IBAs to focus on the purchase and sale of our
products, they may give higher priority to other products, reducing their
efforts devoted to marketing our products. Also, our ability to attract and
retain IBAs could be negatively affected by adverse publicity relating to us,
our products or our operations. In addition, as a result of our network
marketing program, the down-line organizations headed by a relatively small
number of key IBAs are responsible for a significant percentage of total sales.
The loss of a significant number of IBAs, including any key IBA, for any
reason, could adversely affect our sales and operating results, and could impair
our ability to attract new IBAs. The loss of any IBAs could potentially reduce
our sales and force us to curtail or cease our business operations. There is no
assurance that our network marketing program will continue to be successful or
that we will be able to retain or expand our current network of IBAs. Also, if
our IBAs do not accept recent changes to our commission plan, our business may
be adversely affected.
Since We Cannot Exert The Same Level Of Influence Or control Over Our IBAs As We
Could If They Were Our Own Employees, Our IBAs Could Fail to Comply With Our
Distributor Policies and Procedures, Which Could Result In Claims Against Us
That Could Harm Our Financial Condition and Operating Results
Our IBAs are independent contractors and, accordingly, we are not in a
position to directly provide the same direction, motivation and oversight as we
would if our distributors were our own employees. As a result, there can be no
assurance that our distributors will participate in our marketing strategies or
plans, accept our introduction of new products or comply with our IBA Policies
and Procedures.

Government Regulation By The Food And Drug Administration And Other
Federal And State Entities Of Our Products Can Impact Our Ability To Market
Products
The manufacturing, processing, formulation, packaging, labeling and
advertising of nutritional products are subject to regulation by one or more
federal agencies, including the Food and Drug Administration, the Federal Trade
Commission, the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the United States Department
of Agriculture, the United States Postal Service, the United States
Environmental Protection Agency and the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration. These activities are also regulated by various agencies of the
states and localities, as well as of foreign countries, in which our products
may be sold. We may incur significant costs in complying with these regulations.
In the event we cannot comply with government regulations affecting our business
and products, we may be forced to curtail or cease our business operations.
On March 7, 2003, the FDA proposed a new regulation to require current
good manufacturing practices, or cGMPs, affecting the manufacturing, packing and
holding of dietary supplements. The proposed regulation would establish
standards to ensure that dietary supplements and dietary ingredients are not
adulterated with contaminants or impurities and are labeled to accurately
reflect the active ingredients and other ingredients in the products. It also
includes proposed requirements for designing and constructing physical plants,
establishing quality control procedures, and testing manufactured dietary
ingredients and dietary supplements, as well as proposed requirements for
maintaining records for handling consumer complaints related to current good
manufacturing practices. The final rule resulting from this rulemaking process
is currently undergoing review by the Office of Management and Budget.
Publication of the final rule is expected in the next several weeks. Because of
the long delay in issuing the final rule, there is considerable uncertainty as
to the provisions of the final rule, and as to how large an impact the rule will
have on the dietary supplement industry.
We market products that fall under two types of Food and Drug
Administration regulations: dietary supplements and personal care products. In
general, a dietary supplement:
o is a product (other than tobacco) that is intended to supplement the
diet that bears or contains one or more of the following dietary
ingredients: a vitamin, a mineral, a herb or other botanical, an
amino acid, a dietary substance for use by man to supplement the
diet by increasing the total daily intake, or a concentrate,
metabolite, constituent, extract, or combinations of these
ingredients.
o is intended for ingestion in pill, capsule, tablet, or liquid form.
o is not represented for use as a conventional food or as the sole
item of a meal or diet.
o is labeled as a "dietary supplement."
Personal care products are intended to be applied to the human body for
cleansing, beautifying, promoting attractiveness, or altering the appearance
without affecting the body's structure or functions. Included in this definition
are products such as skin creams, lotions, perfumes, lipsticks, fingernail
polishes, eye and facial make-up preparations, shampoos, permanent waves, hair
colors, toothpastes, deodorants, and any material intended for use as a
component of a cosmetic product. The Food & Drug Administration has a limited
ability to regulate personal care products.
Dietary supplements must follow labeling guidelines outlined by the FDA.
Neither dietary supplements nor personal care products require FDA or other
government approval or notification to market in the United States.
Under the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994, companies
that manufacture and distribute dietary supplements are limited in the
statements that they are permitted to make about nutritional support on the
product label without FDA approval. In addition, a manufacturer of a dietary
supplement must have substantiation for any such statement made and must not
claim to diagnose, mitigate, treat, cure or prevent a specific disease or class
of disease. The product label must also contain a prominent disclaimer. These
restrictions may restrict our flexibility in marketing our product.
We believe that all of our existing and proposed products are dietary
supplements, personal care and/or water filtration products that do not require
governmental approvals to market in the United States. Our key products are
classified as follows:
9
Dietary Supplements
o Calorad (R)
o Agrisept-L (R)
o Oxy-Up (R)
o Triomin
o Noni Plus (R)
o Iso-Greens (R)
o Definition (R) (drops)
o Prosoteine (R)
Personal Care Products
o Definition (R)(cream)
o Calorad (R) (cream)
Water Filtration Products
o Code Blue (TM)
o Code Blue (TM) Filter
The processing, formulation, packaging, labeling and advertising of such
products, however, are subject to regulation by one or more federal agencies,
including the FDA, the Federal Trade Commission, the Consumer Products Safety
Commission, the Department of Agriculture and the Environmental Protection
Agency. Our activities are also subject to regulation by various agencies of the
states and localities in which our products are sold. Among other things, such
regulation puts a burden on our ability to bring products to market. Any changes
in the current regulatory environment could impose requirements that would make
bringing new products to market more expensive or restrict the ways we can
market our products.
No governmental agency or other third party makes a determination as to
whether our products qualify as dietary supplements, personal care and/or water
filtration products or neither. We make this determination based on the
ingredients contained in the products and the claims we make for the products.
If The Federal Trade Commission Or Certain States Object To Our Product Claims
And Advertising We May Be Forced To Give Refunds, Pay Damages, Stop Marketing
Certain Products Or Change Our Business Methods
The Federal Trade Commission and certain states regulate advertising,
product claims, and other consumer matters, including advertising of our
products. In the past several years the Federal Trade Commission has instituted
enforcement actions against several dietary supplement companies for false or
deceptive advertising of certain products. We provide no assurance that:
o the Federal Trade Commission will not question our past or future
advertising or other operations; or
o a state will not interpret product claims presumptively valid under
federal law as illegal under that state's regulations.
Also, our IBAs and their customers may file actions on their own behalf,
as a class or otherwise, and may file complaints with the Federal Trade
Commission or state or local consumer affairs offices. These agencies may take
action on their own initiative or on a referral from IBAs, consumers or others.
If taken, such actions may result in:
o entries of consent decrees;
10
o refunds of amounts paid by the complaining IBA or consumer;
o refunds to an entire class of IBAs or customers;
o other damages; and
o changes in our method of doing business.
A Complaint Based On The Activities Of One IBA, Whether Or Not Such Activities
Were Authorized By Us, Could Result In An Order Affecting Some Or All IBAs In A
Particular State, And An Order In One State Could Influence Courts Or Government
Agencies In Other States
Our IBAs act as independent sales people and are not closely supervised by
EYI or supervised by us at all. We have little or no control or knowledge of our
IBAs' actual sales activities and therefore, we have little or no ability to
ensure that our IBAs comply with regulations and rules regarding how they market
and sell our products. It is possible that we may be held liable for the actions
of our IBAs. Proceedings resulting from any complaints in connection with our
IBAs' marketing and sales activities may result in significant defense costs,
settlement payments or judgments and could force to curtail or cease our
business operations.
If our network marketing program is shown to violate federal or state
regulations, we may be unable to market our products. Our network marketing
program is subject to a number of federal and state laws and regulations
administered by the Federal Trade Commission and various state agencies. These
laws and regulations include securities, franchise investment, business
opportunity and criminal laws prohibiting the use of "pyramid" or "endless
chain" types of selling organizations. These regulations are generally directed
at ensuring that product sales are ultimately made to consumers (as opposed to
other IBAs) and that advancement within the network marketing program is based
on sales of products, rather than investment in the company or other non-retail
sales related criteria.
The compensation structure of a network marketing organization is very
complex.
Compliance with all of the applicable regulations and laws is uncertain
because of:
o the evolving interpretations of existing laws and regulations, and
o the enactment of new laws and regulations pertaining in general to
network marketing organizations and product distribution.
We have not obtained any no-action letters or advance rulings from any
federal or state securities regulator or other governmental agency concerning
the legality of our operations. Also, we are not relying on a formal opinion of
counsel to such effect. Accordingly there is the risk that our network marketing
system could be found to be in noncompliance with applicable laws and
regulations, which could have a material adverse effect on us. Such a decision
could require modification of our network marketing program, result in negative
publicity, or have a negative effect on IBA morale and loyalty. In addition, our
network marketing system will be subject to regulations in foreign markets
administered by foreign agencies should we expand our network marketing
organization into such markets.
The Legality Of Our Network Marketing Program Is Subject To Challenge By Our
IBAs
We are subject to the risk of challenges to the legality of our network
marketing organization by our IBAs, both individually and as a class. Generally,
such challenges would be based on claims that our network marketing program was
operated as an illegal "pyramid scheme" in violation of federal securities laws,
state unfair practice and fraud laws and the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt
Organizations Act. An illegal pyramid scheme is generally a marketing scheme
that promotes "inventory loading" and does not encourage retail sales of the
products and services to ultimate consumers. Inventory loading occurs when
distributors purchase large quantities of non-returnable inventory to obtain the
full amount of compensation available under the network marketing program. In
the event of challenges to the legality of our network marketing organization by
our IBAs, there is no assurance that we will be able to demonstrate that
o our network marketing policies were enforced and
11
o the network marketing program and IBAs' compensation thereunder
serve as safeguards to deter inventory loading and encourage retail
sales to the ultimate consumers.
Proceedings Resulting From Claims Could Result in Significant Defense Costs,
Settlement Payments Or Judgments, And Could Have A Material Adverse Effect On Us
One of our previous competitors, Nutrition for Life International, Inc. a
multi-level seller of personal care and nutritional supplements, announced in
1999 that it had settled class action litigation brought by distributors
alleging fraud in connections with the operation of a pyramid scheme. Nutrition
for Life International agreed to pay in excess of $3,000,000 to settle claims
brought on behalf of its distributors and certain purchasers of its stock.
We believe that our marketing program is significantly different from the
program allegedly promoted by Nutrition for Life International and that our
marketing program is not in violation of anti-pyramid laws or regulations.
However, there can be no assurance that claims similar to the claims brought
against Nutrition For Life International and other multi-level marketing
organizations will not be made against us, or that we would prevail in the event
any such claims were made. Furthermore, even if we were successful in defending
against any such claims, the costs of conducting such a defense, both in dollars
spent and in management time, could be material and adversely affect our
operating results and financial condition. In addition, the negative publicity
of such a suit could adversely affect our sales and ability to attract and
retain IBAs.
A Large Portion Of Our Sales Is Attributable To Calorad
A significant portion of our net sales is expected to be dependent upon
our Calorad product. Calorad has traditionally represented more than 70% of our
net sales and, although we hope to expand and diversify our product offerings,
Calorad is expected to provide a large portion of our net sales in the
foreseeable future. If Calorad loses market share or loses favor in the
marketplace, our financial results will suffer.
Our Products Are Subject To Obsolescence; Which Could Reduce Our Sales
Significantly
The introduction by us or our competitors of new dietary supplement or
personal care products offering increased functionality or enhanced results may
render our existing products obsolete and unmarketable. Therefore, our ability
to successfully introduce new products into the market on a timely basis and
achieve acceptable levels of sales has and will continue to be a significant
factor in our ability to grow and remain competitive and profitable. In
addition, the nature and mix of our products are important factors in attracting
and maintaining our network of IBAs, which consequently affects demand for our
products. Although we seek to introduce additional products, the success of new
products is subject to a number of conditions, including customer acceptance.
There can be no assurance that our efforts to develop innovative new products
will be successful or that customers will accept new products.
In addition, no assurance can be given that new products currently
experiencing strong popularity will maintain their sales over time. In the event
we are unable to successfully increase the product mix and maintain competitive
product replacements or enhancements in a timely manner in response to the
introduction of new products, competitive or otherwise, our sales and earnings
will be materially and adversely affected.
We Have No Manufacturing Capabilities And We Are Dependent Upon Nutri-Diem, Inc.
And Other Companies To Manufacture Our Products
We have no manufacturing facilities and have no present intention to
manufacture any of our dietary supplement and personal care products or water
filtration system. We are dependent upon relationships with independent
manufacturers to fulfill our product needs. Nutri-Diem, Inc., a related party,
manufactures and supplies more than 80% of our products. We have contracts with
Nutri-Diem that require us to purchase set amounts of its manufactured products
for at least the next five years and possibly the next ten years. It is possible
that these contracts with Nutri-Diem, Inc. could become unfavorable, and we may
not be able to use other manufacturers to provide us with these services if our
terms with Nutri-Diem, Inc. become unfavorable. In addition, we must be able to
obtain our dietary supplement and personal care products at a cost that permits
us to charge a price acceptable to the customer, while also accommodating
distribution costs and third party sales compensation. Competitors who do own
their own manufacturing may have an advantage over us with respect to pricing,
availability of product and in other areas through their control of the
manufacturing process. In addition, because our agreement with Nutri-Diem, Inc.
requires us to mandatory purchase minimums, we face that risk that we may
receive purchase orders for sufficient amounts of product that will enable us to
sell the quantities that we are required to purchase. In the event that this
occurs, we will be forced to hold larger quantities of inventory, which could
adversely affect our cash flow and our ability to pay our operating expenses. In
addition, if we are forced to hold longer quantities of inventory, we face the
risk that our inventory becomes obsolete with the passage of large amounts of
time.
12
We may not be able to deliver various products to our customers if third
party providers fail to provide necessary ingredients to us. We are dependent on
various third parties for various ingredients for our products. Some of the
third parties that provide ingredients to us have a limited operating history
and are themselves dependent on reliable delivery of products from others. As a
result, our ability to deliver various products to our users may be adversely
affected by the failure of these third parties to provide reliable various
ingredients for our products.
We Are Materially Dependent Upon Our Key Personnel And The Loss Of Such Key
Personnel Could Result In Delays In The Implementation Of Our Business Plan Or
Business Failure
We depend upon the continued involvement of Jay Sargeant, our President,
Chief Executive Officer and Director, and Dori O'Neill, our Executive Vice
President, Chief Operations Officer, Secretary, Treasurer and Director. As we
are a developing company, the further implementation of our business plan is
dependent on the entrepreneurial skills and direction of management. Mr.
Sargeant and Mr. O'Neill who guide and direct our activity and vision. This
direction requires an awareness of the market, the competition, current and
future markets and technologies that would allow us to continue our operations.
The loss or lack of availability of these individuals could materially adversely
affect our business and operations. We do not carry "key person" life insurance
for these officers and directors, and we would be adversely affected by the loss
of these two key consultants.
We Face Substantial Competition In The Dietary Supplement, Personal Care
Industry And Water Filtration Category Including Products That Compete Directly
With Calorad
The dietary supplement and personal care industry is highly competitive.
It is relatively easy for new companies to enter the industry due to the
availability of numerous contract manufacturers, a ready availability of natural
ingredients and a relatively relaxed regulatory environment. Numerous companies
compete with us in the development, manufacture and marketing of supplements as
their sole or principal business. Generally, these companies are well funded and
sophisticated in their marketing approaches.
Depending On The Product Category, Our Competition Varies
Calorad competes directly with Colvera, a product with different
ingredients but a similar concept. Additionally, Calorad competes indirectly
with food plans such as Weight Watchers and meal replacement products such as
Slim Fast. Our Noni Plus product competes with Tahitian Noni and others. Our
other products have similar well-funded and sophisticated competitors. Increased
competitive activity from such companies could make it more difficult for us to
increase or keep market share, since such companies have greater financial and
other resources available to them and possess far more extensive manufacturing,
distribution and marketing capabilities.
We May Be Subject To Products Liability Claims And May Not Have Adequate
Insurance To Cover Such Claims. As With Other Retailers, Distributors And
Manufacturers Of Products That Are Designed To Be Ingested, We Face An Inherent
Risk Of Exposure To Product Liability Claims In The Event That The Use Of Our
Products Results In Injury
We, like any other retailers and distributors of products that are
designed to be ingested, face an inherent risk of exposure to product liability
claims in the event that the use of our products results in injury. Such claims
may include, among others, that our products contain contaminants or include
inadequate instructions as to use or inadequate warnings concerning side effects
and interactions with other substances. With respect to product liability
claims, we have coverage of $2,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 in the
aggregate. Because our policies are purchased on a year-to-year basis, industry
conditions or our own claims experience could make it difficult for us to secure
the necessary insurance at a reasonable cost. In addition, we may not be able to
secure insurance that will be adequate to cover liabilities. We generally do not
obtain contractual indemnification from parties supplying raw materials or
marketing our products. In any event, any such indemnification is limited by its
terms and, as a practical matter, to the creditworthiness of the other party. In
the event that we do not have adequate insurance or contractual indemnification,
liabilities relating to defective products could require us to pay the injured
parties' damages which are significant compared to our net worth or revenues.
13
We May Be Adversely Affected By Unfavorable Publicity Relating To Our Product Or
Similar Products Manufactured By Our Competitors
We believe that the dietary supplement products market is affected by
national media attention regarding the consumption of these products. Future
scientific research or publicity may be unfavorable to the dietary supplement
products market generally or to any particular product and may be inconsistent
with earlier favorable research or publicity. Adverse publicity associated with
illness or other adverse effects resulting from the consumption of products
distributed by other companies, which are similar to our products, could reduce
consumer demand for our products and consequently our revenues. This may occur
even if the publicity did not relate to our products. Adverse publicity directly
concerning our products could be expected to have an immediate negative effect
on the market for that product.
Because We Have Few Proprietary Rights, Others Can Provide Products And Services
Substantially Equivalent To Ours
We hold no patents. We believe that most of the technology used by us in
the design and implementation of our products may be known and available to
others.
Consequently, others may be able to formulate products equivalent to ours.
We rely on confidentiality agreements and trade secret laws to protect our
confidential information. In addition, we restrict access to confidential
information on a "need to know" basis. However, there can be no assurance that
we will be able to maintain the confidentiality of our proprietary information.
If our pending trademark or other proprietary rights are violated, or if a
third party claims that we violate its trademark or other proprietary rights, we
may be required to engage in litigation. Proprietary rights litigation tends to
be costly and time consuming. Bringing or defending claims related to our
proprietary rights may require us to redirect our human and monetary resources
to address those claims.
We Often Use Our Securities As Consideration In Contracts Related To Our
Operations; Which Will Cause Existing Shareholders To Experience Dilution
We often issue our securities as consideration in contracts related to our
operations. We issued our securities in these transactions primarily because
historically we have had insufficient cash to fund our operations. Over the past
two years, we have issued 6,226,190 shares of our common stock and 2,650,000
stock options for consideration other than cash. As a result of such issuances,
existing shareholders of EYI have experienced a dilutive impact o their
ownership of our company. We may be forced to issue additional securities of EYI
in the future transactions in lieu for cash and shareholders would experience
additional dilution.
RISKS RELATED TO THIS OFFERING
Future Sales By Our Stockholders May Adversely Affect Our Stock Price And Our
Ability To Raise Funds In New Stock Offerings
Sales of our common stock in the public market following this offering
could lower the market price of our common stock. Sales may also make it more
difficult for us to sell equity securities or equity-related securities in the
future at a time and price that our management deems acceptable or at all. Some
of our shareholders, including officers and directors are the holders of
"restricted securities". These restricted securities may be resold in the public
market only if registered or pursuant to an exemption from registration. Some of
these shares may be resold under Rule 144. As of June 1, 2006, approximately
119,038,472 shares of our common stock are deemed restricted.
Upon completion of this offering, and assuming all shares registered in
this offering are resold in the public market, there will be an additional
739,726,079 shares of common stock outstanding. All of these shares of common
stock may be immediately resold in the public market upon effectiveness of the
accompanying registration statement.
Existing Shareholders Will Experience Significant Dilution From The Issuance Of
Our Common Stock Upon Conversion Of Convertible Debentures And Warrants
The issuance of our common stock upon conversion of convertible debentures
and warrants will have a dilutive impact on our stockholders. At a recent stock
price of $0.03, we would have to issue 187,500,000 shares of common stock upon
conversion of convertible debentures and 124,062,678 shares upon the exercise of
warrants. We are registering 615,663,401 shares of our common stock for issuance
upon conversion of convertible debentures and 124,062,678 shares upon the
exercise of warrants. If we need to issue more than 615,663,401 shares for
conversion of the convertible debentures in the principal amount of $4,500,000,
we will have to obtain shareholder approval to amend our Articles of
Incorporation to increase our authorized common stock above 1,000,000,000 shares
and we will have to file a new registration statement covering any additional
shares.
14
The Selling Stockholders Intend To Sell Their Shares Of Common Stock In The
Market, Which Sales May Cause Our Stock Price To Decline
The selling stockholders intend to sell in the public market the shares of
common stock being registered in this offering. That means that up to
739,976,079 shares of common stock, the number of shares being registered in
this offering may be sold. Such sales may cause our stock price to decline.
The Sale Of Material Amounts Of Common Stock Under The Accompanying Registration
Statement Could Encourage Short Sales By Third Parties
The significant downward pressure on our stock price caused by the sale of
the shares being registered in the accompanying registration statement could
cause our stock price to decline, thus allowing short sellers of our stock an
opportunity to take advantage of any decrease in the value of our stock. The
presence of short sellers in our common stock may further depress the price of
our common stock.
The Price You Pay In This Offering Will Fluctuate
The price in this offering will fluctuate based on the prevailing market
price of the common stock on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board. Accordingly,
the price you pay in this offering may be higher or lower than the prices paid
by other people participating in this offering.
The Issuance Of Shares Of Common Stock Under This Offering Could Result In A
Change Of Control
We are registering 739,976,079 shares of common stock in this offering.
These shares represent approximately 74% of our authorized capital stock and
would upon issuance represent approximately 74% of the then-issued and
outstanding common stock and we anticipate all such shares will be sold in this
offering. If all or a significant block of these shares are held by one or more
shareholders working together, then such shareholder or shareholders would have
enough shares to exert significant influence on EYI Industries.

President and Chief Executive Officer will remain employed as such, that our
forecasts accurately anticipate market demand, and that there will be no
material adverse change in our operations or business or in governmental
regulations affecting us or our manufacturers and/or suppliers. The foregoing
assumptions are based on judgments with respect to, among other things, future
economic, competitive and market conditions, and future business decisions, all
of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are
beyond our control. Accordingly, although we believe that the assumptions
underlying the forward-looking statements are reasonable, any such assumption
could prove to be inaccurate and therefore there can be no assurance that the
results contemplated in forward-looking statements will be realized. In
addition, as disclosed elsewhere in the "Risk Factors" section of this
prospectus, there are a number of other risks inherent in our business and
operations which could cause our operating results to vary markedly and
adversely from prior results or the results contemplated by the forward-looking
statements. Growth in absolute and relative amounts of cost of goods sold and
selling, general and administrative expenses or the occurrence of extraordinary
events could cause actual results to vary materially from the results
contemplated by the forward-looking statements. Management decisions, including
budgeting, are subjective in many respects and periodic revisions must be made
to reflect actual conditions and business developments, the impact of which may
cause us to alter marketing, capital investment and other expenditures, which
may also materially adversely affect our results of operations. In light of
significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking information included
in this prospectus, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as
a representation by us or any other person that our objectives or plans will be
achieved.
Some of the information in this Prospectus contains forward-looking
statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. Any statement in
this prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference into this
prospectus that is not a statement of an historical fact constitutes a
"forward-looking statement". Further, when we use the words "may", "expect",
"anticipate", "plan", "believe", "seek", "estimate", "internal", and similar
words, we intend to identify statements and expressions that may be forward-
looking statements. We believe it is important to communicate certain of our
expectations to our investors. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of
future performance. They involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could
cause our future results to differ materially from those expressed in any
forward-looking statements. Many factors are beyond our ability to control or
predict. You are accordingly cautioned not to place undue reliance on such
forward-looking statements. Important factors that may cause our actual results
to differ from such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to,
the risk factors discussed below. Before you invest in our common stock, you
should be aware that the occurrence of any of the events described under "Risk
Factors" in this Prospectus could have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition and results of operation. In such a case, the
trading price of our common stock could decline and you could lose all or part
of your investment.

(1) Applicable percentage of ownership is based on 260,273,921 shares of
common stock outstanding as of June 1, 2006, together with securities
exercisable or convertible into shares of common stock within 60 days of
June 1, 2006, for each stockholder. Beneficial ownership is determined in
accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and
generally includes voting or investment power with respect to securities.
Shares of common stock subject to securities exercisable or convertible
into shares of common stock that are currently exercisable or exercisable
within 60 days of June 1, 2006 are deemed to be beneficially owned by the
person holding such securities for the purpose of computing the percentage
of ownership of such person, but are not treated as outstanding for the
purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. Note
that affiliates are subject to Rule 144 and Insider trading regulations -
percentage computation is for form purposes only.
(2) Please note that the terms of the convertible debentures held by Cornell
Capital Partners, L.P., Taib Bank, B.S.C. and Certain Wealth, Ltd. provide
that in no event shall the holder be entitled to convert the convertible
debentures for a number of shares which, upon giving effect to the
conversion, would cause the aggregate number of shares beneficially owned
by such holder and its affiliates to exceed 4.99% of the outstanding
shares of EYI Industries following such conversion. Because the conversion
price may fluctuate based on the market price of our stock, the actual
number of shares to be issued upon conversion of the debentures may be
higher or lower. We are registering 615,663,401 shares to cover such
conversions for the convertible debenture holders.

Shares Acquired In Financing Transactions With EYI Industries
Secured Convertible Debentures. On April 24, 2006, we entered into a
secured convertible debenture transaction with Cornell Capital Partners, Taib
Bank, B.S.C. and Certain Wealth, Ltd. in the principal amount of $4,500,000.
Pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement, on April 24, 2006 EYI Industries
received net proceeds of $1,305,000, associated with the issuance of secured
convertible debentures in the principal amount of $1,500,000 and we will issue
additional secured convertible debentures in the principal amount of $1,500,000
two (2) business days prior to filing the accompanying registration statement
and we will issue additional secured convertible debentures in the principal
amount of $1,500,000 two (2) business days prior to the accompanying
registration statement being declared effective by the Securities and Exchange
Commission. On June 8, 2006, we received net proceeds of $1,350,000, associated
with the issuance of the second tranche of secured convertible debentures in the
principal amount of $1,500,000. On June 20, 2006, we receive net proceeds of
$1,350,000, associated with the issuance of the third tranche of secured
convertible debentures in the principal amount of $1,500,000, in the following
amounts: $750,000 to Cornell Capital Partners, $416,667 to TAIB Bank, B.S.C.,
and $333,333 to Certain Wealth, Ltd. The secured convertible debentures are
convertible at the holder's option any time up to maturity at a conversion price
equal to the lower of (i) $0.06 or (ii) 80% of the lowest daily volume weighted
average price of our common stock for the 5 trading days immediately preceding
the conversion date. The secured convertible debentures are secured by all of
EYI Industries' assets. The secured convertible debentures accrue interest at a
rate of 10% per year and have a term of 3 years. In the event the secured
convertible debentures are redeemed, then EYI Industries will issue to the
holders a warrant to purchase 100,000 shares for every $100,000 redeemed at an
exercise price equal to 20% of the principal amount being redeemed. The holders
purchased the secured convertible debentures from EYI Industries in a private
placement on April 24, 2006. EYI Industries is registering in this offering
615,663,401 shares of common stock underlying the secured convertible
debentures.
17
Pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement and the
issuance of our secured convertible debentures, on April 24, 2006 we issued to
Cornell Capital Partners seventeen (17) warrants to purchase up to an aggregate
124,062,678 shares of our common stock at the discretion of Cornell Capital
Partners (collectively, the "Warrants") each for good and valuable
consideration. Pursuant to the terms of the Warrants, Cornell Capital Partners
is entitled to purchase from us: (1) 10,416,650 shares of our common stock at
$0.02 per share, (2) 13,888,866 shares of our common stock at $0.03 per share,
(3) 10,416,650 shares of our common stock at $0.04 per share, (4) 8,333,320
shares of our common stock at $0.05 per share, (5) 6,944,433 shares of our
common stock at $0.06 per share, (6) 5,952,371 shares of our common stock at
$0.07 per share, (7) 11,250,000 shares of our common stock at $0.08 per share,
(8) 10,000,000 shares of our common stock at $0.09 per share, (9) 19,000,000
shares of our common stock at $0.10 per share, (10) 8,181,818 shares of our
common stock at $0.11 per share, (11) 7,500,000 shares of our common stock at
$0.12 per share, (12) 3,333,333 shares of our common stock at $0.15 per share,
(13) 2,500,000 shares of our common stock at $0.20 per share, (14) 2,000,000

$0.35 per share and (17) 1,250,000 shares of our common stock at $0.40 per share
upon surrender of the Warrants (or as subsequently adjusted pursuant to the
terms of each Warrant) . Each Warrant has "piggy back" registration rights and
shall expire five (5) years from the date of issuance, on or about April 24,
2011.
There are certain risks related to sales by Cornell Capital Partners, Taib
Bank, B.S.C. and Certain Wealth, Ltd. including:
o The outstanding shares will be issued based on discount to the
market rate. As a result, the lower the stock price, the greater
number of shares that will be issued to these selling stockholders.
This could result in substantial dilution to the interests of other
holders of common stock.
o To the extent the selling stockholders sell their common stock, the
common stock price may decrease due to the additional shares in the
market. This could allow these selling stockholders to sell greater
amounts of common stock, the sales of which would further depress
the stock price.
o The significant downward pressure on the price of the common stock
as the selling stockholders sell material amounts of common stocks
could encourage short sales by others. This could place further
downward pressure on the price of the common stock.

USE OF PROCEEDS
This Prospectus relates to shares of our common stock that may be offered
and sold from time to time by Cornell Capital Partners. There will be no
proceeds to us from the sale of shares of common stock in this offering.
However, we did receive proceeds pursuant to the issuance of secured convertible
debentures in the principal amount equal to $4,500,000, which we are using for
general working capital purposes, including, among other things, sales and
marketing, product development, operations, international expansion, sales
communication and debt retirement.
19
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The selling stockholders have advised us that the sale or distribution of
EYI Industries' common stock owned by the selling stockholders may be effected
directly to purchasers by the selling stockholders or by pledgees, transferees
or other successors in interest, as principals or through one or more
underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents from time to time in one or more
transactions (which may involve crosses or block transactions) (i) on the
over-the-counter market or in any other market on which the price of EYI
Industries' shares of common stock are quoted or (ii) in transactions otherwise
than on the over-the-counter market or in any other market on which the price of
EYI Industries' shares of common stock are quoted. Any transferees and pledges
will be identified by a post-effective amendment to the accompanying
registration statement. Any of such transactions may be effected at market
prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing
market prices, at varying prices determined at the time of sale or at negotiated
or fixed prices, in each case as determined by a selling stockholder or by
agreement between a selling stockholder and underwriters, brokers, dealers or
agents, or purchasers. If the selling stockholders effect such transactions by
selling their shares of EYI Industries' common stock to or through underwriters,
brokers, dealers or agents, such underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents may
receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from
the selling stockholders or commissions from purchasers of common stock for whom
they may act as agent (which discounts, concessions or commissions as to
particular underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents may be in excess of those
customary in the types of transactions involved). Any brokers, dealers or agents
that participate in the distribution of the common stock may be deemed to be
underwriters, and any profit on the sale of common stock by them and any
discounts, concessions or commissions received by any such underwriters,
brokers, dealers or agents may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and
commissions under the Securities Act.
Under the securities laws of certain states, the shares of common stock
may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or
dealers. The selling stockholders are advised to ensure that any underwriters,
brokers, dealers or agents effecting transactions on behalf of the selling
stockholders are registered to sell securities in all fifty states. In addition,
in certain states the shares of common stock may not be sold unless the shares
have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from
registration or qualification is available and is complied with.
Our common stock is deemed to be "penny stock" as that term is defined in
Rule 3a51-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Penny stocks
are stock: (i) with a price of less than $5.00 per share; (ii) that are not
traded on a "recognized" national exchange; (iii) whose prices are not quoted on
the Nasdaq automated quotation system (Nasdaq listed stock must still have a
price of not less than $5.00 per share); or (iv) in issuers with net tangible
assets less than $2.0 million (if the issuer has been in continuous operation
for at least three years) or $5.0 million (if in continuous operation for less
than three years), or with average revenues of less than $6.0 million for the
last three years.
Broker/dealers dealing in penny stocks are required to provide potential
investors with a document disclosing the risks of penny stocks. Moreover,
broker/dealers are required to determine whether an investment in a penny stock
is a suitable investment for a prospective investor. These requirements may
reduce the potential market for our common stock by reducing the number of
potential investors. This may make it more difficult for investors in our common
stock to sell shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of them. This
could cause our stock price to decline.
We will pay all the expenses incident to the registration, offering and
sale of the shares of common stock to the public hereunder other than
commissions, fees and discounts of underwriters, brokers, dealers and agents. We
estimate that the expenses of the offering to be borne by us will be
approximately $85,000. The estimated offering expenses consist of: a SEC
registration fee of $2,375, printing expenses of $5,000, accounting fees of
$20,000, legal fees of $50,000 and miscellaneous expenses of $7,625. We will not
receive any proceeds from the sale of any of the shares of common stock by the
selling stockholders.
The selling stockholders should be aware that the anti-manipulation
provisions of Regulation M under the Exchange Act will apply to purchases and
sales of shares of common stock by the selling stockholders, and that there are
restrictions on market-making activities by persons engaged in the distribution
of the shares. Under Registration M, the selling stockholders or their agents
may not bid for, purchase, or attempt to induce any person to bid for or
purchase, shares of common stock of EYI Industries while such selling
stockholder is distributing shares covered by this Prospectus. Accordingly,
except as noted below, the selling stockholders are not permitted to cover short
sales by purchasing shares while the distribution is taking place. The selling
stockholders are advised that if a particular offer of common stock is to be
made on terms constituting a material change from the information set forth
above with respect to the Plan of Distribution, then, to the extent required, a
post-effective amendment to the accompanying registration statement must be
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF EYI AND THE NOTES THERETO APPEARING
ELSEWHERE IN THIS FILING. STATEMENTS IN THIS MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND
ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION AND ELSEWHERE IN THIS PROSPECTUS THAT ARE NOT
STATEMENTS OF HISTORICAL OR CURRENT FACT CONSTITUTE "FORWARD-LOOKING
STATEMENTS."
Overview
We are in the business of selling, marketing, and distributing a product
line consisting of approximately 27 nutritional products in three categories,
dietary supplements, personal care products and drinking water filtration
systems. Currently, our product line consists of: (i) 18 dietary supplement
products; (ii) 7 personal care products consisting primarily of cosmetic and
skin care products; and (iii) 2 drinking water filtration products that make up
the Code Blue(TM) which removes contaminants from potable water. Our products
are primarily manufactured by Nutri-Diem, Inc. a related party, and sold by us
under a license and distribution agreement with Nutri-Diem, Inc. Certain of our
own products are manufactured for us by third party manufacturers pursuant to
formulations developed for us. Our products are sold in the United States,
Canada and Asia. Our products are marketed through a network marketing program
in which independent business associates purchase products for resale to retail
customers as well as for their own personal use. We have a list of over 380,000
independent business associates, of which approximately 8,500 we consider
"active". An "active" independent business associate is one who purchased our
products within the preceding 12 months.
Our independent auditors have added an explanatory paragraph to their
audit issued in connection with the financial statements for the period ended
December 31, 2005, relative to our ability to continue as a going concern. We
have negative working capital of approximately $1,965,000 and an accumulated
deficit incurred through December 31, 2005 of $11,347,215, which raises
substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. As of March
31, 2006, we had a working capital deficit of $1,578,076 and an accumulated
deficit of $12,223,137. Our ability to obtain additional funding will determine
our ability to continue as a going concern. Accordingly, there is substantial
doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements
do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.
We have a history of losses. We have incurred an operating loss since
inception and had an accumulated deficit of $12,223,137 as of March 31, 2006.
For the three months ended March 31, 2006, we incurred a net loss of $875,922.
For the year ended December 31, 2005, we incurred a net loss of $4,262,011. For
the year ended December 31, 2004, we incurred a net loss of $4,462,795.
Consequently, we will in all likelihood, have to rely on external financing for
all of our capital requirements. Future losses are likely to continue unless we
successfully implement our business plan, which calls for us to secure both debt
and equity financing.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States requires our management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting periods. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Our management routinely makes judgments and estimates about the effects
of matters that are inherently uncertain. As the number of variables and
assumptions affecting the probable future resolution of the uncertainties
increase, these judgments become even more subjective and complex. We have
identified certain accounting policies, described below, that are the most
important to the portrayal of our current financial condition and results of
operations.
Accounting For Stock Options And Warrants Granted To Employees And Non-Employees
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS No. 123"), defines a fair value-based method of
accounting for stock options and other equity instruments. We have adopted this
method, which measures compensation costs based on the estimated fair value of
the award and recognizes that cost over the service period.
21
Derivative Instruments
The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities" (hereinafter "SFAS No. 133"), as amended by SFAS No. 137,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the
Effective Date of FASB No. 133", and SFAS No. 138, "Accounting for Certain
Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities", and SFAS No. 149,
"Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities".
These statements establish accounting and reporting standards for derivative
instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other
contracts, and for hedging activities. They require that an entity recognize all
derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and measure
those instruments at fair value.
At December 31, 2005, EYI has not engaged in any transactions that would
be considered derivative instruments or hedging activities.
Earnings Per Share
EYI has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128,
which provides for calculation of "basic" and "diluted" earnings per share.
Basic earnings per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net
income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average common
shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the
potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of an entity
similar to fully diluted earnings per share. Basic and diluted loss per share
were the same, at the reporting dates, as inclusion of the common stock
equivalents would be anti-dilutive.
Foreign Currency Translation And Other Comprehensive Income
EYI has adopted Financial Accounting Standard No. 52. Monetary assets and
liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into United States
dollars at rates of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date. Gains or
losses are included in income for the year. Non-monetary assets, liabilities and
items recorded in income arising from transactions denominated in foreign
currencies are translated at rates of exchange in effect at the date of the
transaction.
As EYI's functional currency is the U.S. dollar, and all translation gains
and losses are transactional, EYI has no assets with value recorded in Canadian
dollar and there is no recognition of other comprehensive income in the
financial statements.
Foreign Currency Valuation And Risk Exposure
While EYI's functional currency is the U.S. dollar and the majority of its
operations are in the United States, EYI maintains its main operations office in
Burnaby, British Columbia. The assets and liabilities relating to the Canadian
operations are exposed to exchange rate fluctuations. Assets and liabilities of
EYI's foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars at the year-end
exchange rates, and revenue and expenses are translated at the average exchange
rate during the period. The net effect of exchange difference arising from
currency translation is disclosed as a separate component of stockholders'
equity. Realized gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are
reflected in the results of operations.
Income Taxes
EYI accounts for income taxes under the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". This
statement requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for
the future consequences of events that have been recognized in EYI consolidated
financial statement or tax returns. Measurement of the deferred items is based
on enacted tax laws. In the event the future consequences of differences between
financial reporting bases and tax bases of EYI assets and liabilities results in
a deferred tax asset, SFAS No. 109 requires an evaluation of the probability of
being able to realize the future benefits indicated by such an asset. A
valuation allowance related to a deferred tax asset is recorded when it is more
likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be
realized.
Long-Lived Assets
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144,
"Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets". This standard
establishes a single accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of by
sale, including discontinued operations, and requires that these long-lived
assets be measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to
sell, whether reported in continuing operations or discontinued operations.
22
Accordingly, EYI reviews the carrying amount of long-lived assets for
impairment where events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
amount may not be recoverable. The determination of any impairment would include
a comparison of estimated future cash flows anticipated to be generated during
the remaining life of the assets to the net carrying value of the assets. For
the year ended December 31, 2005, no impairments have been identified.
Revenue Recognition
The Company is in the business of selling nutritional products in two
categories: dietary supplements and personal care products. Sales of personal
care products represent less than 5% of the overall revenue and therefore are
not classified separately in the financial statements. The Company recognized
revenue from product sales when the products are shipped and title passes to
customer. Administrative fees charged to the Independent Business Associates are
included in the gross sales and amounted $128,967 and $190,340 for the year
ended December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004 respectively.
Segment Information
EYI adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131,
"Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,"
(hereafter "SFAS No. 131") which supersedes SFAS No. 14, "Financial Reporting
for Segments of a Business Enterprise," replacing the "industry segment"
approach with the "management" approach. The management approach designates the
internal organization that is used by management for making operating decisions
and assessing performance as the source of EYI reportable segments. SFAS No. 131
also requires disclosures about products and services, geographic areas and
major customers. The adoption of SFAS No. 131 did not affect EYI results of
operations or financial position.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
New accounting pronouncements that have a current or future potential
impact on our financial statements are as follows:
In March 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 156, "Accounting for Servicing of
Financial Assets--an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140." This statement
requires an entity to recognize a servicing asset or servicing liability each
time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset by entering into a
servicing contract in any of the following situations: a transfer of the
servicer's financial assets that meets the requirements for sale accounting; a
transfer of the servicer's financial assets to a qualifying special-purpose
entity in a guaranteed mortgage securitization in which the transferor retains
all of the resulting securities and classifies them as either available-for-sale
securities or trading securities; or an acquisition or assumption of an
obligation to service a financial asset that does not relate to financial assets
of the servicer or its consolidated affiliates. The statement also requires all
separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities to be initially
measured at fair value, if practicable and permits an entity to choose either
the amortization or fair value method for subsequent measurement of each class
of servicing assets and liabilities. The statement further permits, at its
initial adoption, a one-time reclassification of available for sale securities
to trading securities by entities with recognized servicing rights, without
calling into question the treatment of other available for sale securities under
Statement 115, provided that the available for sale securities are identified in
some manner as offsetting the entity's exposure to changes in fair value of
servicing assets or servicing liabilities that a servicer elects to subsequently
measure at fair value and requires separate presentation of servicing assets and
servicing liabilities subsequently measured at fair value in the statement of
financial position and additional disclosures for all separately recognized
servicing assets and servicing liabilities. This statement is effective for
fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006, with early adoption permitted
as of the beginning of an entity's fiscal year. Management believes the adoption
of this statement will have no impact on the Company's financial condition or
results of operations.
23
In February 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 155, "Accounting for Certain
Hybrid Financial Instruments, an Amendment of FASB Standards No. 133 and 140"
(hereinafter "SFAS No. 155"). This statement established the accounting for
certain derivatives embedded in other instruments. It simplifies accounting for
certain hybrid financial instruments by permitting fair value remeasurement for
any hybrid instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would
require bifurcation under SFAS No. 133 as well as eliminating a restriction on
the passive derivative instruments that a qualifying special-purpose entity
("SPE") may hold under SFAS No. 140. This statement allows a public entity to
irrevocably elect to initially and subsequently measure a hybrid instrument that
would be required to be separated into a host contract and derivative in its
entirety at fair value (with changes in fair value recognized in earnings) so
long as that instrument is not designated as a hedging instrument pursuant to
the statement. SFAS No. 140 previously prohibited a qualifying special-purpose
entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a
beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. This
statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006, with
early adoption permitted as of the beginning of an entity's fiscal year.
Management believes the adoption of this statement will have no impact on the
Company's financial condition or results of operations.
In May 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 154, "Accounting Changes and Error
Corrections," (hereinafter "SFAS No. 154") which replaces Accounting Principles
Board Opinion No. 20, "Accounting Changes," and SFAS No. 3, "Reporting
Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements - An Amendment of APB Opinion
No. 28." SFAS No. 154 provides guidance on accounting for and reporting changes
in accounting principle and error corrections. SFAS No. 154 requires that
changes in accounting principle be applied retrospectively to prior period
financial statements and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 2005. The Company does not expect SFAS No. 154 to have a material impact on
its consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
In March 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB
Interpretation No. 47 ("FIN 47"), "Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement
Obligations." FIN 47 clarifies that the term "conditional asset retirement
obligation," which as used in SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement
Obligations," refers to a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement
activity in which the timing and (or) method of settlement are conditional on a
future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity. The entity
must record a liability for a "conditional" asset retirement obligation if the
fair value of the obligation can be reasonably estimated. FIN 47 also clarifies
when an entity would have sufficient information to reasonably estimate the fair
value of an asset retirement obligation. FIN 47 is effective no later than the
end of fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005.
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a
revision to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, "Accounting
for Stock Based Compensation." This statement supersedes APB Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and its related implementation
guidance. This statement establishes standards for the accounting for
transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or
services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities
in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the
entity's equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those
equity instruments. This statement focuses primarily on accounting for
transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment
transactions. This statement does not change the accounting guidance for share
based payment transactions with parties other than employees provided in
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123. This statement does not
address the accounting for employee share ownership plans, which are subject to
AICPA Statement of Position 93-6, "Employers' Accounting for Employee Stock
Ownership Plans." The Company has previously adopted SFAS 123 and the fair value
of accounting for stock options and other equity instruments. The Company has
determined that there was no impact to its financial statements from the
adoption of this new statement.
In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB
Interpretation No. 46 "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an
Interpretation of ARB No. 51" (hereinafter "FIN 46"). FIN 46 requires certain
variable interest entities to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the
entity if the equity investors in the entity do not have the characteristics of
a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for
the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial
support from other parties. FIN 46 is effective for all new variable interest
entities created or acquired after January 31, 2003. The provisions of FIN 46
must be applied for the first interim or annual period beginning after June 15,
2003. The Company does not have any entities that require disclosure or new
consolidation as a result of adopting the provisions of FIN 46.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably
likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in
financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity,
capital expenditures or capital resources.

Revenues
During the three months ended March 31, 2006 we had total revenues of
$1,108,759 as compared to revenues of $1,313,768 for the same period in 2005
which represents a decline of $205,010 or 15.6%. The decrease in our revenues
can be primarily attributed to the following factors:
o Our inability to attract new IBA's
o Lack of IBA participation in our auto-ship program
o our inability to fund marketing initiatives and programs that may
promote growth within new markets and existing ones
Gross Profit
During the three months ended March 31, 2006 as compared to the same
period in 2005, we had gross profits of $820,807 and $1,062,620 respectively.
This represents a decline of $241,813 or 22.76%. The decline in our gross profit
is primarily attributed to our decreased binary sales in relation to other
revenue segments that have a higher percentage of cost-of-goods.

total revenue earned during the quarter ended March 31, 2006, as compared to
$948,422 or 74% of the total revenues earned during the quarter ended March 31,
2005. Management believes that our inability to properly fund our marketing
initiatives hindered growth and retention in this segment. EYI pays out a
maximum of 50% commission on binary sales.

total revenue earned during the quarter ended March 31, 2006, as compared to

We incurred operating expenses in the amount of $1,324,361 during the
three months ended March 31, 2006, compared to $1,237,108 for the three months
ended March 31, 2005. The following explains the most significant changes for
the periods presented:
Consulting Fees - For the three months ended March 31, 2006, consulting
fees totaled $259,736 as compared to $237,962 for the three months ended March
31, 2005. The net difference of $21,774 or 9.15% is attributed to additional
fees paid to consultants to assist in Sales & Marketing, Operations and Investor
Relations
Customer Service - For the three months ended March 31, 2006, customer
services fees totaled $40,416 and represented 3% of our total operating
expenditures, as compared to $86,534 or 7% of the total operating expenditures
for the three months ended March 31, 2005. These expenditures represent the
services provided by EYI Corp. pursuant to the terms of their management
agreement with our subsidiary Essentially Yours Industries, Inc. ("EYII"). The
reduction of expenditures is related to EYII utilizing other service providers
to provide the services that were previously provided by EYI Corp.
Finance and Administration - For the three months ended March 31, 2006,
finance and administration fees totaled $499,973 and represented 38% of our
total operating expenditures, as compared to $208,080 or 17% of the total
operating expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2005. The net
increase of $291,893 or 140.28% is primarily attributed to three main factors:
o Additional finance charges of approximately $165,000
26
o Expenditures relating to Hong Kong operations of $67,000
o Investor relations fees of $58,000
Sales and Marketing - The Sales and Marketing expenses for the three
months ended March 31, 2006 were $78,624 as compared to $3,718 for the three
months ended March 31, 2005. We expensed approximately $28,000 for cost
associated with the registration of Code Blue in China. In addition, we expensed
approximately $40,000 for the Hong Kong Grand Opening event.
Wages and Benefits - For the three months ended March 31, 2006, wages and
benefits totaled $277,571 and represented 21% of our total operating
expenditures, as compared to $406,627 or 33% of the total operating expenditures
for the three months ended March 31, 2005. During the quarter ended March 31,
2005, we expensed approximate $134,000 for vested employee stock options whereas
for the same quarter in the 2006, no employee stock options vested.
Warehouse Expenses - For the three months ended March 31, 2006, warehouse
expense totaled $62,898 and represented 5% of our total operating expenditures,
as compared to $105,900 or 9% of the total operating expenditures for the three
months ended March 31, 2005. The decline in attributed primarily to our decision
to close our fulfillment center, Halo Distribution LLC in April 2005 and
outsource this service to a third party provider.

total operating expenditures, as compared to $2,101,842 or 33% of the total

telecommunications totaled $946,331 and represented 17% of our total operating

Cash Used in Operating Activities
Cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31,

representing an increase of $743,707 or 472%.
Cash Provided by Financing Activities
Cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31,
2006 was $1,084,565, compared to $141,324 for the three months ended March 31,
2005. Our financing activities are primarily through our financing agreements
with Cornell Capital LLC.
Financing Requirements
Our consolidated interim financial statements included in this Prospectus
have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. As shown
in the accompanying financial statements, we had negative working capital of
approximately $1,578,000 and an accumulated deficit of approximately $12,223,000
incurred through March 31, 2006.
Our current sources of working capital are sufficient to satisfy our
anticipated current working capital needs. On April 24, 2006 we entered into a
Securities Purchase Agreement with the Cornell Capital Partners, Taib Bank,
B.S.C., and Certain Wealth, Ltd. Pursuant to this agreement, we agreed to sell
to these entities secured convertible debentures in the aggregate principal
amount of $4,500,000. We believe that this financing arrangement will provide
the necessary cash flow to meet our operational needs for the next 24 months.
In the event that this financing does not support our operational cash
flow requirements, then we may have to scale back our plan of operations and
operating expenditures. We anticipate that we will continue to incur losses
until such time as the revenues we are able to generate from sales and licensing
of our products exceed our increased operating expenses. We base this
expectation in part on the expectation that we will incur increased operating
expenses in completing our stated plan of operations and there is no assurance
that we will generate revenues that exceed these expenses.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Overview
We are in the business of selling, marketing, and distributing a product
line consisting of approximately 27 nutritional products in three categories,
dietary supplements, personal care products and water filtration systems. Our
most successful product is Calorad, a liquid collagen-based dietary supplement
presently available in the market. These products are marketed through a network
marketing program in which IBAs (Independent Business Associates) purchase
products for resale to retail customers as well as for their own personal use.
We have a list of over 380,000 IBAs, of which approximately 8,500 we consider
"active". An "active" IBA is one who purchased our products within the preceding
12 months. Over 1,200 of these IBAs are considered "very active". A "very
active" IBA is one who is on our automatic Convenience Program and is current
with their annual administration fee.
The IBAs in our network are encouraged to recruit interested people to
become new distributors of our products. New IBAs are placed beneath the
recruiting IBA in the "network" and are referred to as being in that IBA's
"down-line" organization. Our marketing plan is designed to provide incentives
for IBAs to build, maintain and motivate an organization of recruited
distributors in their down-line organization to maximize their earning
potential. IBAs generate income by purchasing our products at wholesale prices
and reselling them at retail prices. IBAs also earn commissions on product
purchases generated by their down-line organization.
On an ongoing basis we review our product line for duplication and sales
trends and make adjustments accordingly. As of March 31, 2006, our product line
consisted of: (i) 18 dietary supplement products; (ii) 7 personal care products
consisting primarily of cosmetic and skin care products; and (iii) 2 water
filtration system products. Our products are primarily manufactured by
Nutri-Diem, Inc., a related party, and sold by us under a license and
distribution agreement with Nutri-Diem Inc. Certain of our own products are
manufactured for us by third party manufacturers pursuant to formulations
developed for us. Our products are sold to our IBAs located in the United
States, Canada and Asia.
We believe that our network marketing system is suited to marketing
dietary supplements, personal care products and water filtration products
because sales of such products are strengthened by ongoing personal contact
between IBAs and their customers. Our network marketing system appeals to a
broad cross-section of people, particularly those looking to supplement family
income or who are seeking part-time work. IBAs are given the opportunity,
through our sponsored events and training sessions, to network with other
distributors, develop selling skills and establish personal goals. We supplement
monetary incentives with other forms of recognition in order to motivate IBAs.
Recent Corporate Developments
We experienced the following significant developments through the date of
this filing and during fiscal 2006:

Corporate Organization
We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on June 27,
1996, under the name of "Inter N. Corporation". From 1999 to 2002, our business
plan was to create a product line of miniaturized microchip technology for
insertion into inanimate objects or injection under the skin of animals. We
again changed the focus of our business, to oil and gas opportunities in 2002.
From 1999 to 2003 we were a non-operating company with limited assets and were
not able to raise sufficient funds to fund our business operations. On December
31, 2003, we completed a share exchange (the "Exchange") with certain of the
shareholders (the "EYI Shareholders") of Essentially Yours Industries, Inc. a
Nevada Corporation ("EYI Nevada"), under a Share Exchange Agreement, dated
November 4, 2003, (the "Exchange Agreement").
35
Under the terms of the Exchange Agreement, we issued 117,991,875 shares of
our common stock, representing approximately 79.9% of our then-outstanding
common stock, to the EYI shareholders in exchange for 15,372,733 shares of EYI
Nevada common stock held by them. As a result, we underwent a change of control.
Following completion of the Exchange, the EYI shareholders controlled
approximately 79.9% of our outstanding common stock and we owned approximately
97.9% of EYI Nevada's issued and outstanding capital stock. As a result of the
transaction, we acquired the business of EYI Nevada and EYI Nevada became our
majority-owned subsidiary. Concurrent with the acquisition, we changed our name
to "EYI Industries, Inc.", our officers and directors resigned, and nominees of
the EYI Shareholders were elected as successors.
Subsidiaries And Affiliates
We presently have eight subsidiaries through which we conduct our
operations, described as follows:

agreement are at cost of services plus a mark-up of approximately

Key Operating Strengths
We believe the source of our success is primarily attributed to our IBA
support programs coupled with our IBA compensation programs. We provide our IBAs
with quality products and competitive commission programs, along with training
and motivational events and services. We believe that we have established a
strong operating platform to support IBAs and facilitate future growth. The key
components of this platform include the following:
o quality dietary supplements, water filtration systems and personal
care products that appeal to consumers demands for products that
contribute to a healthy lifestyle;
o a compensation program that permits IBAs to earn income from profits
on the resale of products and residual income from product purchases
within an IBAs' down-line organization, as well as to participate in
various non- cash awards;
o a communications program that seeks to effectively and efficiently
communicate with IBAs by utilizing new technologies and marketing
techniques, as well as motivational events and training seminars;
o a continual expansion and improvement of our product line and
marketing plan;
o an in-house marketing department; and
o employment of computer technology to provide timely and accurate
product order processing, weekly commission payment processing and
detailed IBA earnings statements.
Growth Strategy
New Product Introduction. During 2005, we introduced our new product, Code
Blue(TM). The initial shipment of Code Blue Filters did not meet EYI product
specifications. However, in January of 2006, we received a revised version of
the Code Blue filter called the G-4 which we believe, meets our product
specifications.
We intend to aggressively promote Code Blue systems through a year long
promotional tour campaign ("North American Tour" or "Tour"). Our intent is to
host approximately 120 regional training meetings with audiences of up to 100
people and 30 larger conferences in targeted cities where we can train and
market to larger audiences of 150 to 300. We have selected cities to host these
events where we believe there is a greater interest in the product and a
concentration of our active IBAs. We intend to use a group of 5 to 6 veteran
IBA's to act as our Regional Trainers and to work in concert with our management
team to promote, coordinate, and host these events. We anticipate that the total
cost of the North American Tour campaign will be approximately $240,000. We
anticipate an offset to this cost by way of sales that occur at these events and
through ongoing residual sales generated by the new IBAs enrolled in our system
as a result of this Tour.
International Expansion. We opened our Hong Kong office in September 2005.
The office is intended to be used to service distributors and provide a product
pick up depot for Code Blue(TM), Calorad(R), Prosoteine(R), Agrisept-L(R) and
Definition(R) drops and cream, and the newest EYI product, Calorad Cream. The
new office will also play a role in supporting the sales, distribution and
logistics of the CEIEC agency agreement.
In January 2006, we relocated our Executive Vice President and COO, Dori
O'Neill to Hong Kong for six months after which, Mr. O'Neill will continue his
work in Asia from his office in Burnaby, BC and through periodic trips to Asia.
Mr. O'Neill is expected to play a key role in our Asian market initiative. His
initial focus will be to introduce and train our unified global binary program
to new Asian IBAs. In addition, Mr. O'Neill will also focus on researching and
reviewing other locations and markets for expansion.
In April 2006, our subsidiary, Essentially Yours Industries
(International) Limited, signed a Letter of Intent and Good Faith Commitment
with Raul Bautista and Rommel Panganiban to act as managing partners and
distributors for the Philippines. Once a definitive agreement is reached, EYI
will work with this group to get them operational within one to two months.

Industry Overview
Over the past several years, widely publicized reports and medical
research findings have suggested a correlation between the consumption of
dietary supplements and the reduced incidence of certain diseases. Thousands of
such reports and research findings can be found on the International
Bibliographic Information on Dietary Supplements (IBIDS) database produced by
the Office of Dietary Supplements. In 1995, US Congress established the Office
of Dietary Supplements, a division of the National Institutes of Health, to
conduct and coordinate research into the role of dietary supplements in
maintaining health and preventing disease. In addition, Congress has established
the Office of Alternative Medicine within the National Institutes of Health to
foster research into alternative medical treatments, which may include natural
remedies.
Products
Our product line consists of products in the categories of dietary
supplements, water filtrations systems and personal care products. We currently
market approximately 27 products. For the year ended December 31, 2005, Calorad
sales represented over 87% of our net sales and is expected to provide a large
portion of our net sales in the foreseeable future.
Dietary Supplements
We offer 18 products in the dietary supplement category which contain

Promotional Materials. We will also derive revenues from the sale of
various educational and promotional materials designed to aid our distributors
in maintaining and building their businesses. Such materials include various
sales aids, informational videotapes and cassette recordings, and product and
marketing brochures. We produce many of our promotional materials in-house and
have the capability to create just-in-time marketing pieces as needed and
constantly update our marketing material.
New Product Identification. We expand our product line through the
development of new products. New product ideas are derived from a number of
sources, including trade publications, scientific and health journals,
consultants, distributors and other third parties. Prior to introducing new
products, we investigate product formulation as it relates to regulatory
compliance and other issues.
We rely upon Nutri-Diem, Inc. and other manufacturers, independent
researchers and vendor research departments for product development services.
When a new product concept is identified or when an existing product must be
reformulated, the new product concept or reformulation project is generally
submitted to Nutri-Diem, Inc. or other manufacturers for technical development
and implementation. Nutri-Diem owns all of the rights to the products that they
produce. We do not incur any expense for the development of any products by
Nutri-Diem. We continually review our existing products for potential
enhancements to improve their effectiveness and marketability. While we consider
our product formulations to be proprietary trade secrets, such formulations are
not patented. Accordingly, there is no assurance that another company will not
replicate one or more of our products.
Product Procurement and Distribution Insurance. More than 87% of our
product line in the dietary supplement category is manufactured by Nutri-Diem,
Inc., a related party, utilizing theirs and our product formulations, as well as
product formulations it licenses to us. A majority of our product line in the
personal care category is also manufactured by Nutri-Diem, Inc.
We have contracts with Nutri-Diem, Inc. that grant to us the exclusive
license and right to market, sell and distribute in Canada and the United States
and a non-exclusive right to market on the Internet certain products owned by
Michel Grise Consultant, Inc., a Quebec corporation, which is controlled by
Michel Grise. To maintain the license and distribution rights granted by those
contracts, we are obligated to purchase from Nutri-Diem, Inc. during that period
commencing on June 1, 2003, and continuing through and including May 31, 2004,
products totaling $1,530,000. Those contracts also specify that for the period
from June 1, 2004 to May 31, 2005, we are required to purchase from Nutri-Diem,
Inc. products totaling $3,825,000. Additionally, those contracts specify that
for each year commencing on June 1, and ending on May 31 thereafter during the
term of that agreement we are required to purchase products totaling $5,355,000.
The provisions of those contracts specify that Nutri-Diem, Inc. will offer
us the right to sell, market and distribute in those territories any new product
developed by Nutri-Diem, Inc.
If we are not in default at the expiration of the initial five year
period, those contracts will be automatically renewed for another five year
period. In the event we fail to make the minimum purchase during any year,
Nutri-Diem, Inc. has the option, to require us to pay Nutri-Diem, Inc. an amount
equal to 15% of the difference between the minimum amount for the respective
year and the amount of actual purchases during that year. Additionally, in the
event that we do not purchase the minimum amount during any particular year and
do not pay Nutri-Diem, Inc. that 15%, Nutri-Diem, Inc. at its sole discretion,
may terminate the respective contract or cause the license granted in the
contract to be non-exclusive.
39
In the event the relationship with any of our manufacturers becomes
impaired, we will be required to obtain alternative manufacturing sources for
our products.
In such event, there is no assurance that the manufacturing processes of
our current manufacturers can be replicated by another manufacturer. We believe
that we would be able to obtain alternative sources of our dietary supplement
and personal care products. A significant delay or reduction in availability of
products, however, could have a material adverse effect on our business,
operating results and financial condition. We, as with other marketers of
products that are intended to be ingested, face the inherent risk of exposure to
product liability claims in the event that the use of our products results in
injury. We maintain product liability insurance coverage with coverage limits of
$2,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate. Although we have not
experienced any successful product liability claims, such claims could result in
material losses.
All of the items in our product line include a customer satisfaction
guarantee. Within 30 days of purchase, any retail customer or IBA who is not
satisfied with our product for any reason may return it or any unused portion to
the distributor from whom it was purchased or to us for a full refund or credit
toward the purchase of another product. IBAs may obtain replacements from us for
products returned to them by retail customers, if they return such products on a
timely basis. Furthermore, in most jurisdictions, we maintain a buy-back
program. Under this program, we will repurchase products sold to a distributor
(subject to a 10% restocking charge), provided that the distributor resigns as a
distributor and returns the product in marketable condition within one year of
original purchase, or longer where required by applicable state law or
regulations. We believe this buy-back program addresses a number of the
regulatory compliance issues pertaining to network marketing systems. We expect
that the cost of products returned to us will be less than 2% of gross sales.
Below is a summary of return information based on our sales transactions
that were paid by credit card for the year ended December 31, 2005:

Our specific refund policies are as follows:
Retail Customer Guarantee
o A retail customer may return defective, unused product (at least
50%) to his/her IBA within thirty (30) days of purchase for exchange
or full refund.
o A written statement must be obtained from the customer stating the
reason for dissatisfaction.
o The original retail receipt showing the date of purchase must
accompany a written request for a return.
o A copy of the Customer Refund Form must be completed in full and
returned to EYI with the aforementioned documentation and product
(when product is requested).
o Upon receipt of the statement, retail receipt and the returned
product, EYI will promptly replace any returned product to the IBA.
40
o IBAs failure to comply with this guarantee policy may be reason for
termination.
o On product purchases of more than a one (1) month supply, the thirty
(30) day rule applies to the purchase (unless otherwise promised by
IBA to his/her retail customer. In this instance, the IBA is
responsible to uphold his/her retail guarantee to the customer not
EYI).
Refund To Independent Business Associates
If an IBA is not satisfied with a given EYI product, EYI will replace the
product with a product of same or like value, less shipping and handling
charges. If requested EYI will issue a credit for the purchase less shipping and
handling. This credit must be used within thirty (30) days of being issued. The
request for a replacement must occur within thirty (30) days of receipt of the
product by the IBA and the product must be in re-sale condition upon return.
IBAs must provide proof of purchase and cover the cost of the product
return.
Note the following condition for refunds:
o EYI does not issue any refunds for product(s) previously certified
as sold under the 70% rule. The 70% rule is described in our IBA
Policies and Procedures as their requirement to have sold at least
70% of their previous order before reording. As well, the refund
will be less commission paid on the returned product.
Distribution And Marketing
Our product line is distributed from a third party warehouse in Bensalem,
PA, our facility and warehouse in Burnaby, British Columbia, our 18 consignment
centers located throughout USA and Canada, or from our office in Kowloon, Hong
Kong.
We distribute our product line through our network marketing system where
Independent Business Associates ("IBAs") purchase product at wholesale and
through person-to-person contact, re-sell the product at retail prices. At
December 31, 2005, we had approximately 8,500 "active" IBAs. To be considered
"active" a distributor must have purchased our products within the preceding 12
months. Our IBAs are independent contractors who purchase products directly from
us for resale to retail consumers. IBAs may elect to work on a full-time or
part-time basis. We believe our network marketing system appeals to a broad
cross-section of people, particularly those seeking to:
o supplement family income,
o start a home business, or
o pursue employment opportunities other than conventional, full-time
employment.
o A majority of our IBAs sell our products on a part-time basis.
o We believe that our network marketing system is ideally suited to
marketing our product line because sales of our products are
strengthened by ongoing personal contact between retail consumers
and IBAs, many of whom use our products themselves. Sales are made
through direct personal sales presentations, as well as
presentations made to groups. These sales methods are designed to
encourage individuals to purchase our products by informing
potential customers and IBAs of our product line and results of
personal use, and the potential financial benefits of becoming a
distributor. Our marketing efforts are typically focused on
middle-income families and individuals.
Our network marketing program encourages individuals to develop their own
down-line network marketing organizations. Each new IBA is either linked to:
o the existing distributor that personally enrolled the new
distributor into our network marketing program, or
o the existing distributor in the enrolling distributor's down-line as
specified by the enrolling distributor at the time of enrollment.
41
Growth of an IBAs' down-line organization is dependent on the recruiting
and enrollment of additional IBAs by the distributor or the IBAs within such
distributor's down-line organization. We currently do not keep records that
would enable us to calculate IBA turnover frequency. We are currently working on
a program that may enable us in the future to track IBA turnover.
IBAs are encouraged to assume responsibility for training and motivation
of other IBAs within their down-line organization and to conduct opportunity
meetings as soon as they are appropriately trained. We strive to maintain a high
level of motivation, morale, enthusiasm and integrity among the members of our
network marketing organization. We believe this result is achieved through a
combination of products, sales incentives, personal recognition of outstanding
achievement, and quality promotional materials. Under our network marketing
program, IBAs purchase sales aids from us and assume the costs of advertising
and marketing our product line to their customers, as well as the direct cost of
recruiting new IBAs. We believe that this form of sales organization is cost
efficient, because our direct sales expenses are primarily limited to the
payment of commissions, which are only incurred when products are sold.
We continually strive to improve our marketing strategies, including the
compensation structure within our network marketing program and the variety and
mix of products in our line, to attract and motivate IBAs. These efforts are
designed to increase IBAs' monthly product sales and the recruiting of new IBAs.
Growth of our network marketing program is in part attributable to our
incentive structure. IBAs earn profits by purchasing from our product line at
wholesale prices and selling our product line to their customers at retail.
Additionally, we have a commission structure which provides for payment of
commissions on product purchases made by other IBAs in a distributor's down-line
organization.
IBAs derive this commission income mainly through their Business Volume,
as described below.
Business Volume is assigned to most of our products and is used to
calculate sales commission. The Business Volume, in most instances, is 50% of
the wholesale cost of a product. Commissions are based on the total Business
Volume which has been generated both personally and through the IBAs' down-line
activity. Therefore, as a down-line grows, it is possible for greater
commissions to be earned. None of our IBAs have derived $1 million per year or
greater for the years ended 2005, 2004, 2003 or 2002.
In order for an IBA to earn commissions, there are four requirements:
o an IBA needs to create a Business Center by filling out our IBA
Application and Agreement Form;
o an IBA needs to qualify his Business Center with a 100 Business
Volume order of our products;
o an IBA needs to activate his Business Center by making two personal
sales to two people who become qualified IBAs within one year of
entry into the business; and
o to be eligible for commission, an IBA needs to be current with their
annual administration fee.
The average commission earned by our IBAs during the twelve month period
starting on January 1, 2005 and ending on December 31, 2005 was approximately
$210.
To aid IBAs in easily meeting the monthly personal product purchase
requirement to qualify for commission, we developed the "Auto-ship Program."
Under the Auto-ship Program purchasing arrangement, each Business Center
establishes a standing product order (20 Business Volume minimum) which is
automatically charged to a credit card or deducted from a bank account each
month prior to shipment of the ordered products. Additionally, Auto-ship allows
IBAs to purchase certain products at reduced prices. As of December 31, 2005, we
had over 1,200 IBAs participating in the Convenience Program.
Under our Consignment Center Program, we designate IBAs to operate
consignment centers. Each Consignment Center functions as our product
distribution center, carrying our products. As of December 31, 2005, we had 18
consignment centers. Consignment centers provide hubs of local product and
business training. They sell to customers at the point of purchase, teach sales
and marketing techniques, distribute literature about our products and business
while lowering our shipping and data-entry costs.

We maintain a computerized system for processing distributor orders and
calculating commission payments, which enables us to remit such payments
promptly to IBAs. We believe that prompt and accurate remittance of commissions
is vital to recruiting and maintaining IBAs, as well as increasing their
motivation and loyalty to us. We calculate the commissions weekly and pay
commissions biweekly.
We are committed to providing the best possible support to our IBAs. IBAs
in our network marketing program are provided training guides and are given the
opportunity to participate in our training programs. We sponsor weekly
conference calls for our IBAs, which include testimonials from successful IBAs
and satisfied customers, as well as current product and promotional information.
We produce weekly newsletters which provide information on us, our
products and network marketing system. The newsletter is designed to help
recruit new IBAs by answering commonly asked questions and includes product
information and business building information. The newsletter also provides a
forum for us to give additional recognition to our IBAs for outstanding
performance. In addition, we sponsor training sessions for our IBAs across the
United States and Canada. At these training sessions IBAs are provided the
opportunity to learn more about our product line and selling techniques so that
they can build their businesses more rapidly.
We also maintain an Internet site, www.eyicom.com, which is an integral
part of our product sales, customer retention, IBA recruitment and IBA
development efforts. Approximately 7,300 of our IBAs are networked
electronically, allowing them access to marketing information and sales leads.
Further, we provide IBAs with a free e-commerce Internet "home page" to aid
their marketing efforts.
43
Government Regulation
In the United States (as well as in any foreign markets in which we may
sell our products), we are subject to laws, regulations, administrative
determinations, court decisions and similar constraints (as applicable, at the
federal, state and local levels) (hereinafter "regulations"). These regulations
include and pertain to, among others:
o the formulation, manufacture, packaging, labeling, distribution,
importation, sale and storage of our products,
o our product claims and advertising (including direct claims and
advertising as well as claims and advertising by distributors, for
which we may be held responsible), and
o our network marketing organization.
We believe we are currently in compliance with all regulations. In the
past, we have met and passed inspections by the United States Food and Drug
Administration ("FDA"). Our past FDA violations are as follows: on October 7,
2002, we had a Food and Drug label inspection. A notice to re-label on Calorad
was submitted on October 9, 2002. A panel was added to our Calorad product to
round the calories to be in compliance with the DSHEA Act of 1994. The "may
proceed" release was issued on November 6, 2002. On February 2, 2004, a notice
to redeliver from the Department of Treasury/United States Customs Service in
Detroit, Michigan was issued requesting an inspection and import permit along
with an original CFI certificate (Canadian Food Inspection Agency Certificate).
On entry number #336-0214262-5. We met all requirements and the shipment was
released on February 27, 2004. On August 16, 2005 a hold was designated on entry
number #336-0524098-8. Samples were collected by the FDA and sent to a lab for
analysis on August 18, 2005. This was a routine sampling that the FDA performs
on products at any given time to ensure product contents match the product
labels. Testing was completed and the product was released on September 8, 2005.
On October 5, 2005 we received a hold from the FDA for two products, requesting
label clarification on one product and clarification on website claims for
another product. On November 21, 2005 the first product was released under
direction to make a small label adjustment on the next product run. We intend to
comply with this request. On November 15, 2005 the second product was released
after review of marketing materials available on the internet.
Formulations: We are reliant on our manufacturers' knowledge and expertise
as they develop our formulas. We do investigate the individual ingredients to
ensure they fall under the 1994 DSHEA Act definitions as well as the Food and
Drug Administration ("FDA") cosmetic regulations. We also receive confirmation
that all preservatives are GRAS (generally recognized as safe).
Manufacturing: We are reliant on our manufacturers that they are compliant
with GMP regulations and safety regulations put forth by the FDA.
Packaging: We are reliant on our manufacturers that our packaging is in
compliance with FDA regulations.
Labeling: We consult with our FDA attorneys on a need-to-know basis
regarding labeling and have an in-house labeling specialist that is experienced
in the 1994 DSHEA Act.
Distribution: Our facility has Food Grade Certification within the State
of Pennsylvania and is also registered with the FDA as a Food Grade Facility.
Sale and Storage: We have an in house Quality Control department that
oversees this area, as well as ensures our distribution facility is compliant
with all applicable laws in this area.
Importation: We have an in-house purchasing agent that works with all
applicable laws with respect to NAFTA, bio-terrorism and agricultural
requirements, as well as a brokerage firm that works for us. We have always
successfully imported product to the United States with very few inspections or
violations.
44
Products
The formulation, manufacture, packaging, storing, labeling, advertising,
distribution and sale of our products are subject to regulation by federal
agencies, including the Food and Drug Administration, the Federal Trade
Commission, the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the United States Department
of Agriculture, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the United States
Postal Service. Our activities are also regulated by various agencies of the
states, localities and foreign countries in which our products are or may be
manufactured, distributed and sold. The Food and Drug Administration, in
particular, regulates the formulation, manufacture and labeling of dietary
supplements, cosmetics and skin care products, including some of our products.
Food and Drug Administration regulations require us and our suppliers to meet
relevant regulatory good manufacturing practices for the preparation, packaging
and storage of these products. Good manufacturing practices for dietary
supplements have yet to be promulgated, but are expected to be proposed. The
Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 revised the provisions of
the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act concerning the composition and labeling
of dietary supplements, which we believe is generally favorable to the dietary
supplement industry. The Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act created a
new statutory class of "dietary supplements." This new class includes vitamins,
minerals, herbs, amino acids and other dietary substances for human use to
supplement the diet. In general, a dietary supplement is a product (other than
tobacco) that is intended to supplement the diet that bears or contains one or
more of the following dietary ingredients: a vitamin, a mineral, a herb or other
botanical, an amino acid, a dietary substance for use by man to supplement the
diet by increasing the total daily intake, or a concentrate, metabolite,
constituent, extract, or combinations of these ingredients; is intended for
ingestion in pill, capsule, tablet, or liquid form; is not represented for use
as a conventional food or as the sole item of a meal or diet; and is labeled as
a "dietary supplement." However, the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act
("DSHEA") grandfathered, with certain limitations, dietary ingredients that were
on the market before October 15, 1994. A dietary supplement containing a new
dietary ingredient and placed on the market on or after October 15, 1994 must
have a history of use or other evidence establishing a basis for expected
safety. Manufacturers of dietary supplements having a "structure-function"
statement must have substantiation that the statement is truthful and not
misleading.
The majority of our sales come from products that are classified as
dietary supplements under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. The labeling
requirements for dietary supplements have been set forth in final regulations
with respect to labels affixed to containers beginning after March 23, 1999.
These regulations include how to declare nutrient content information, and the
proper detail and format required for the "supplemental facts" box. We revise
our product labels in compliance with these regulations. The costs of product
re-labeling were immaterial. Many states have also recently become active in the
regulation of dietary supplement products. These states may require modification
of labeling or formulation of certain of our products sold in these states.
In January 2000, the FDA published a final rule that defines the types of
statements that can be made concerning the effect of a dietary supplement on the
structure or function of the body pursuant to the DSHEA. Under the DSHEA,
dietary supplement labeling may bear "structure/function" claims, which are
claims that the products affect the structure or function of the body, without
prior FDA approval. They may not without prior FDA approval, bear a claim that
they can prevent, treat, cure, mitigate or diagnose disease, otherwise known as
a "drug claim". The final rule describes how the FDA will distinguish drug
claims from structure/function claims. Dietary supplements, like conventional
foods, are also permitted to make "health claims", which are claims that are
exempt from regulation as "drug" claims pursuant to the amendments to the FDCA
established by the NLEA in 1990. A "health claim" is a claim, ordinarily
approved by the FDA regulation, on a food or dietary supplement product's
labeling that "characterizes the relationship of any substance to a disease or
health-related condition". To help assure that foods, dietary supplements and
cosmetics comply with the provisions of the FDCA and FDA's regulations, the FDA
has numerous enforcement tools, including the ability to issue warning letters,
initiate product seizures and injunctions and pursue criminal penalties.
The manufacturer of dietary supplements is subject to existing FDA current
good manufacturing practices, or "cGMP", regulations for food. In March 2003,
the FDA proposed detailed cGMP regulations specifically for dietary supplements.
The FDA is expected to publish final cGMP regulations for dietary supplements in
the near future.
Personal care products are intended to be applied to the human body for
cleansing, beautifying, promoting attractiveness, or altering the appearance
without affecting the body's structure or functions. Included in this definition
are products such as skin creams, lotions, perfumes, lipsticks, fingernail
polishes, eye and facial make-up preparations, shampoos, permanent waves, hair
colors, toothpastes, deodorants, and any material intended for use as a
component of a cosmetic product. The Food & Drug Administration has a limited
ability to regulate personal care products. The Food & Drug Administration can
regulate personal care products after they are introduced into the market and
can review personal care products and their ingredients after they are sold to
the public.
As a marketer of products that are ingested by consumers, we are subject
to the risk that one or more of the ingredients in our products may become the
subject of adverse regulatory action.
A small portion of our products sold in Canada have separate labels or
combination labels to satisfy Canadian compliance organizations, such as the
Food Inspection Agency and Health Canada. Health Canada is moving towards
stricter compliance guidelines for dietary supplement products through its
recently created Office of Natural Health Products. New compliance guidelines
through the Office of Natural Health Products may affect the formulation,
manufacture, packaging, storing, labeling, advertising, distribution and sale of
our products in Canada. We plan to comply with all regulations promulgated by
Office of Natural Health Products. Due to the small percentage of sales in
Canada, we do not hold separate Canadian labels for our complete product line.
45
In foreign markets, prior to commencing operations and prior to making or
permitting sales of our products, we may be required to obtain an approval,
license or certification from the country's ministry of health or comparable
agency. Prior to entering a new market in which a formal approval, license or
certificate is required, we will be required to work extensively with local
authorities to obtain the requisite approvals. The approval process generally
will require us to present each product and product ingredient to appropriate
regulators and, in some instances, arrange for testing of products by local
technicians for ingredient analysis. Such approvals may be conditioned on
reformulation of our products or may be unavailable with respect to certain
products or ingredients.
Product Claims And Advertising
The Federal Trade Commission and certain states regulate advertising,
product claims, and other consumer matters, including advertising of our
products. All advertising, promotional and solicitation materials used by
distributors require our approval prior to use. The Federal Trade Commission has
in the past several years instituted enforcement actions against several dietary
supplement companies for false and misleading advertising of certain products.
In addition, the Federal Trade Commission has increased its scrutiny of the use
of testimonials. We have not been the target of Federal Trade Commission
enforcement action. There is no assurance that:
o the Federal Trade Commission will not question our advertising or
other operations in the future,
o a state will not interpret product claims presumptively valid under
federal law as illegal under that state's regulations, or
o future Federal Trade Commission regulations or decisions will not
restrict the permissible scope of such claims.
We are also subject to the risk of claims by distributors and their
customers who may file actions on their own behalf, as a class or otherwise, and
may file complaints with the Federal Trade Commission or state or local consumer
affairs offices. These agencies may take action on their own initiative against
us for alleged advertising or product claim violations or on a referral from
distributors, consumers or others. Remedies sought in such actions may include
consent decrees and the refund of amounts paid by the complaining distributor or
consumer, refunds to an entire class of distributors or customers, or other
damages, as well as changes in our method of doing business. A complaint based
on the practice of one distributor, whether or not we authorized the practice,
could result in an order affecting some or all distributors in a particular
state. Also, an order in one state could influence courts or government agencies
in other states considering similar matters. Proceedings resulting from these
complaints may result in significant defense costs, settlement payments or
judgments and could have a material adverse effect on us. The FTC has increased
its scrutiny of the use of distributor testimonials. Although it is impossible
for us to monitor all the product claims made by our independent distributors,
we make efforts to monitor distributor testimonials and restrict inappropriate
distributor claims. The FTC has been more aggressive in pursuing enforcement
against dietary supplement products since the passage of DSHEA in 1994, and has
brought numerous actions against dietary supplement companies, some resulting in
several million dollar civil penalties and/or restitution as well as
court-ordered injunctions.
Compliance Efforts
We attempt to remain in full compliance with all applicable laws and
regulations governing the manufacture, labeling, sale, distribution, and
advertising of our dietary supplements. We retain special legal counsel for
advice on both US Food and Drug Administration and US Federal Trade Commission
legal issues.
Network Marketing System
Our network marketing system is subject to a number of federal and state
regulations administered by the Federal Trade Commission and various state
agencies. These regulations are generally directed at ensuring that product
sales are ultimately made to consumers (as opposed to other distributors) and
that advancement within an organization be based on sales of the organization's
products, rather than investment in the organization or other non-retail sales
related criteria. For instance, in certain markets there are limits on the
extent to which distributors may earn royalties on sales generated by
distributors that were not directly sponsored by the distributor.
46
Our network marketing program and activities are subject to scrutiny by
various state and federal governmental regulatory agencies to ensure compliance
with various types of laws and regulations. These laws and regulations include
securities, franchise investment, business opportunity and criminal laws
prohibiting the use of "pyramid" or "endless chain" types of selling
organizations. The compensation structure of such selling organizations is very
complex, and compliance with all of the applicable laws is uncertain in light of
evolving interpretation of existing laws and the enactment of new laws and
regulations pertaining to this type of product distribution. We have an ongoing
compliance program with assistance from legal counsel experienced in the laws
and regulations pertaining to network sales organizations. We are not aware of
any legal actions pending or threatened by any governmental authority against us
regarding the legality of our network marketing operations.
We currently have IBAs in the United States, Canada and Southeast Asia. We
review the requirements of various states, as well as seek legal advice
regarding the structure and operation of our selling organization to ensure that
it complies with all of the applicable laws and regulations pertaining to
network sales organizations. On the basis of these efforts and the experience of
our management, we believe that we are in compliance with all applicable federal
and state regulatory requirements. We have not obtained any no-action letters or
advance rulings from any federal or state security regulator or other
governmental agency concerning the legality of our operations, nor are we
relying on a formal opinion of counsel to such effect. We, accordingly, are
subject to the risk that, in one or more of our markets, our marketing system
could be found to not comply with applicable laws and regulations. Our failure
to comply with these regulations could have a material adverse effect on us in a
particular market or in general.
We are subject to the risk of challenges to the legality of our network
marketing organization, including claims by our distributors, both individually
and as a class. Most likely these claims would be based on our network marketing
program allegedly being operated as an illegal "pyramid scheme" in violation of
federal securities laws, state unfair practice and fraud laws and the Racketeer
Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act.
We believe that our network marketing system is not classified as a
pyramid scheme under the standards set forth in applicable law. In particular,
in most jurisdictions, we maintain an inventory buy-back program to address the
problem of "inventory loading." Pursuant to this program, we repurchase products
sold to a distributor (subject to a 10% restocking charge) provided that the
distributor returns the product in marketable condition within one year of
original purchase, or longer where required by applicable state law or
regulations.
Our literature provided to distributors describes our buy-back program.
However, as is the case with other network marketing companies, the commissions
paid by us to our distributors are based on product purchases, including
purchases of products that are personally consumed by the down-line
distributors. Basing commissions on sales of personally consumed products may be
considered an inventory loading purchase. Furthermore, distributors' commissions
are based on the wholesale prices received by us on product purchases or, in
some cases, based upon the particular product purchased, on prices less than the
wholesale prices.
To further address the problem of "inventory loading," our IBAs must sell
at least 70% of their inventory before they can reorder.
In the event of challenges to the legality of our network marketing
organization by distributors, we would be required to:
o demonstrate that our network marketing policies are enforced, and
o demonstrate that the network marketing program and distributors'
compensation thereunder serve as safeguards to deter inventory
loading and encourage retail sales to the ultimate consumers.
Competition
We are subject to significant competition in recruiting IBAs from other
network marketing organizations, including those that market products in the
dietary supplement and personal care categories, as well as other types of
products. There are more than 300 companies worldwide that utilize network
marketing techniques, many of which are substantially larger, offer a greater
variety of products, and have available considerably greater financial resources
than us. Our ability to remain competitive depends, in significant part, on our
success in recruiting and retaining IBAs through an attractive commission plan
and other incentives. We believe that our commission plan and incentive programs
provide our IBAs with significant income potential. However, there can be no
assurance that our programs for recruitment and retention of IBAs will continue
to be successful.
47
In addition, the business of marketing products in the dietary supplement
and personal care categories is highly competitive. This market segment includes
numerous manufacturers, other network marketing companies, catalog companies,
distributors, marketers, retailers and physicians that actively compete in the
sale of such products. We also compete with other providers of such products,
especially retail outlets, based upon convenience of purchase and immediate
availability of the purchased product. The market is highly sensitive to the
introduction of new products or weight management plans (including various
prescription drugs) that may rapidly capture a significant share of the market.
As a result, our ability to remain competitive depends, in part, upon the
successful introduction and addition of new products to our line.
Depending on the product category, our competition varies. Calorad
competes directly with Colvera, a product with different ingredients but a
similar concept. Additionally, Calorad competes indirectly with food plans such
as Weight Watchers and meal replacement products such as Slim Fast. Our Noni
Plus product competes with Tahitian International and others. Our other products
have similar well funded and sophisticated competitors. Increased competitive
activity from such companies could make it more difficult for us to increase or
keep market share, since such companies have greater financial and other
resources available to them and possess far more extensive manufacturing,
distribution and marketing capabilities.
Our network marketing competitors include small, privately held companies,
as well as larger, publicly held companies with greater financial resources and
greater product and market diversification and distribution. Our competitors
include Reliv International, Mannatech Incorporated, Usana Health Services,
Alticor Inc. (Amway Corp.), Avon Products Inc., Herbalife Ltd., Mary Kay Inc.,
Metaluca, Inc., Nature's Sunshine Products Inc., Nu Skin Enterprises Inc. as
well as mass retail establishments.
Employees
As at June 1, 2006 we had 37 employees and managers. Of this total, 3 are
executive officers, 4 are in accounting, 11 are in operations, 4 are in sales
and marketing, 4 are in sales communication, 4 are in information systems, 1 is
in product development, 4 are in our warehouse and 2 are in administration. We
consider our employee relations to be good. None of our employees or managers
are members of a trade union and we have not experienced any business
interruption as a result of any labor disputes.
Research And Development Expenditures
We have not incurred any research or development expenditures during our
last two fiscal years.
Intellectual Property
We use several trademarks and trade names in connection with our products
and operations, as further described below. We rely on common law trademark
rights to protect our unregistered trademarks. Common law trademark rights do
not provide with the same level of protection as afforded by a United States
federal registration of a trademark. Also, common law trademark rights are
limited to the geographic area in which the trademark is actually used. In
addition, our product formulations are not protected by patents and are not
patentable. Therefore, there can be no assurance that another company will not
replicate one or more of our products.
We have a License Agreement with Nutri-Diem that gives EYI the exclusive
right to use the trademarks solely in connection with the sale, marketing and
distribution of the products. Our agreement states that we have non-exclusive
rights to use the trademarks on the Internet. The agreement is based on a five
year term, with automatic renewal for another five year period. We also have
license agreement which gives EYI the exclusive right to the trademarks for the
purpose of sales and marketing activities. The agreement is based on a 50 year
term with a yearly renewal each year thereafter.
On June 30, 2002, the following Nutri-Diem trademarks were licensed to EYI
Nevada pursuant to the Marketing and Distribution Agreement in place between
Nutri-Diem and EYI Nevada. The owner of the trademarks set out in the table
below is Michel Grise Consultants Inc., an associated company of Nutri-Diem and
is controlled by Michel Grise, one of the directors of EYI Nevada:

MANAGEMENT
Directors And Executive Officers
Our directors, executive officers and key employees as of June 1, 2006 are
as follows:
Name Age Position with the Company Date First Elected or Appointed
---- --- ------------------------- -------------------------------
Jay Sargeant 58 President, Chief Executive Officer and Director, Chief Executive Officer and
Director President since December 31, 2003
Dori O'Neill 46 Executive Vice-President, Treasurer, Chief Executive Vice-President, Treasurer, Chief
Operations Officer, Secretary and Director Operations Officer, Secretary and Director
since December 31, 2003
Rajesh Raniga 40 Chief Financial Officer Chief Financial Officer since January 1, 2004
Set forth below is a brief description of the background and business
experience of each of our executive officers and directors for the past five
years:
Jay Sargeant. Mr. Sargeant has been our President, Chief Executive Officer
and a member of our Board of Directors since December 31, 2003. Mr. Sargeant
graduated from Boston State College in 1979 with a Bachelors Degree in English
Literature and Psychology. From 1995 until June 30, 2002, the date of our merger
with Essentially Yours Industries, Inc., Mr. Sargeant was a director of
Essentially Yours Industries, Corp. a Canadian Federal corporation. Mr. Sargeant
has resigned as a member of the Board of Directors of Essentially Yours
Industries, Corp. to concentrate on our sales and marketing efforts. Mr.
Sargeant was a founder of Essentially Yours Industries, Corp.
Dori O'Neill. Mr. O'Neill has been our Executive Vice President, Chief
Operations Officer and a member of our Board of Directors since December 31,
2003. From 1997 to June 2002, Mr. O'Neill served as a Vice President and a
member of the Board of Directors of Essentially Yours Industries Corp., a
Canadian Federal corporation, from December 2001 to June 2002. From 1994 through
1998 Mr. O'Neill was a self-employed consultant.
Rajesh Raniga. Mr. Raniga has been our Chief Financial Officer since
January 1, 2004. Mr. Raniga is a Certified General Accountant. From 1989 to
present Mr. Raniga has practiced with Delves Freer Anderson Raniga Caine as a
general partner. In his private practice, prior to joining us, he specialized in
auditing publicly-listed companies as well as acquisitions and mergers. He has
also sat on the Board of Directors and served as the Chief Financial Officer of
Uniserve Communications Services Inc., an internet service provider listed on
the TSX Venture Exchange in Canada.
Family Relationships
There is no family relationship between any of our officers or directors.
Directors
Our Board of Directors consists of 3 (three) seats. Directors serve for a
term of one year and stand for election at our annual meeting of stockholders.
Pursuant to our Bylaws, as amended, a majority of directors may appoint a
successor to fill any vacancy on the Board of Directors.
Terms Of Office
Our directors are appointed for one-year terms to hold office until the
next annual general meeting of the holders of our common stock or until removed
from office in accordance with our by-laws. Our officers are appointed by our
Board of Directors and hold office until removed by our Board of Directors.
51
Committees Of The Board Of Directors
Audit Committee
The entire board of directors performs the functions of an audit
committee, but no written charter governs the actions of the board of directors
when performing the functions of an audit committee. The board of directors
approves the selection of our independent accountants and meets and interacts
with the independent accountants to discuss issues related to financial
reporting. In addition, the board of directors reviews the scope and results of
the audit with the independent accountants, reviews with management and the
independent accountants our annual operating results, considers the adequacy of
our internal accounting procedures and considers other auditing and accounting
matters including fees to be paid to the independent auditor and the performance
of the independent auditor.
We presently do not have a compensation committee, an executive committee
of our board of directors, stock plan committee or any other committees.
However, our board of directors will consider establishing various committees
during the current fiscal year.
Audit Committee Financial Expert
Our Board of Directors has determined that we do not presently have a
director who meets the definition of an "audit committee financial expert." We
believe that the cost related to appointing a financial expert to our Board of
Directors at this time is prohibitive.
Nomination Committee
Our board of directors does not maintain a nominating committee. As a
result, no written charter governs the director nomination process. The size of
EYI and the size of the board of directors, at this time, do not require a
separate nominating committee. Our independent directors annually review all
director performance over the past year and make recommendations to the board of
directors for future nominations. When evaluating director nominees, our
independent directors consider the following factors:
(i) The appropriate size of EYI's board of directors;
(ii) The needs of EYI with respect to the particular talents and
experience of its directors;
(iii) The knowledge, skills and experience of nominees, including
experience in finance, administration or public service, in light of prevailing
business conditions and the knowledge, skills and experience already possessed
by other members of the board;
(iv) Experience with accounting rules and practices; and
(v) The desire to balance the benefit of continuity with the periodic
injection of the fresh perspective provided by new board members.
Other than the foregoing, there are no stated minimum criteria for
director nominees, although the board of directors may also consider such other
factors as it may deem are in the best interests of EYI and its stockholders. In
addition, the Board of Directors identifies nominees by first evaluating the
current members of the board willing to continue in service. Current members of
the board with skills and experience that are relevant to our business and who
are willing to continue in service are considered for re-nomination. If any
member of the board does not wish to continue in service or if the board decides
not to re-nominate a member for re-election, the board then identifies the
desired skills and experience of a new nominee in light of the criteria above.
Current members of the board of directors are polled for suggestions as to
individuals meeting the criteria described above. The board may also engage in
research to identify qualified individuals. To date, we have not engaged third
parties to identify or evaluate or assist in identifying potential nominees,
although we reserve the right in the future to retain a third party search firm,
if necessary. The board of directors does not typically consider stockholder
nominees because it believes that its current nomination process is sufficient
to identify directors who serve our best interests.
52
Code Of Ethics
We adopted a Code of Ethics applicable to our Chief Executive Officer,
Chief Financial Officer, Corporate Controller and certain other finance
executives, which is a "code of ethics" as defined by applicable rules of the
SEC. Our Code of Ethics is attached to our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB filed
with the SEC on April 14, 2004. If we make any amendments to our Code of Ethics
other than technical, administrative, or other non-substantive amendments, or
grant any waivers, including implicit waivers, from a provision of our Code of
Ethics to our chief executive officer, chief financial officer, or certain other
finance executives, we will disclose the nature of the amendment or waiver, its
effective date and to whom it applies in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with
the SEC.
Compliance With Section 16(a) Of The Securities Exchange Act
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our executive officers and
directors, and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of our equity
securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Officers, directors and greater than ten
percent shareholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of
all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based on our review of the copies of such
forms received by us, we believe that up to June 1, 2006 all such filing
requirements applicable to our officers and directors were complied with
exception that reports were filed late by the following persons:

of our common stock may be granted to our employees, officers, directors, and
eligible consultants of our company. The Plan provides that the option price be
the fair market value of the stock at the date of grant as determined by the
Board of Directors. Options granted become exercisable and expire as determined
by the Board of Directors.

Stock Compensation Program
On February 17, 2004, we established our Stock Compensation Program. The
purpose of the Plan is to advance the interests of our company and our
stockholders by strengthening our ability to obtain and retain the services of
the types of employees, consultants, officers and directors who will contribute
to our long term success and to provide incentives which are linked directly to
increases in stock value which will inure to the benefit of all our
stockholders. The Plan is administered by our Board of Directors or by a
committee of two or more non-employee directors appointed by the Board of
Directors (the "Administrator"). Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the
Administrator has full and final authority to grant the awards of stock options
and to determine the terms and conditions of the awards and the number of shares
to be issued pursuant thereto. Options granted under the Plan may be either
"incentive stock options," which qualify for special tax treatment under the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the "Code"), nonqualified stock
options or restricted shares.
All of our employees and members of our Board of Directors are eligible to
be granted options. Individuals who have rendered or are expected to render
advisory or consulting services to us are also eligible to receive options. The
maximum number of shares of our common stock with respect to which options or
rights may be granted under the Plan to any participant is 25,000,000 shares,
subject to certain adjustments to prevent dilution.
The exact terms of the option granted are contained in an option agreement
between us and the person to whom such option is granted. Eligible employees are
not required to pay anything to receive options. The exercise price for
incentive stock options must be no less than 70% of the fair market value of the
common stock on the date of grant. The exercise price for nonqualified stock
options is determined by the Administrator in its sole and complete discretion.
An option holder may exercise options from time to time, subject to vesting.
Options will vest immediately upon death or disability of a participant and upon
certain change of control events.
The Administrator may amend the Plan at any time and in any manner,
subject to the following: (1) no recipient of any award may, without his or her
consent, be deprived thereof or of any of his or her rights thereunder or with
respect thereto as a result of such amendment or termination; and (2) any
outstanding incentive stock option that is modified, extended, renewed, or
otherwise altered must be treated in accordance with Section 424(h) of the Code.
The Plan terminates on March 30, 2014 unless sooner terminated by action
of the Board of Directors. All awards granted under the Plan expire ten years
from the date of grant, or such shorter period as is determined by the
Administrator. No option is exercisable by any person after such expiration. If
an award expires, terminates or is canceled, the shares of our common stock not
purchased thereunder may again be available for issuance under the Plan.
We filed a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, to register the 25,000,000 shares of our common stock reserved for
issuance under the Plan on March 30, 2004.
Repricing of Options in 2004
During the year ended December 31, 2004, our board of directors approved
the re-pricing of: (i) options to purchase 3,200,000 shares of our common stock
granted in favor of Mr. Sargeant, our President and Chief Executive Officer on
April 30, 2004 at a price of $0.19; and (ii) options to purchase 3,200,000
shares of our common stock granted in favor of Mr. O'Neill, our Chief Operating
Officer on April 30, 2004 at a price of $0.19. The option price was reduced to
$0.08 per share in order that the exercise price was more reflective of the then
current trading price of our common stock and in order to provide a continuing
performance incentive. The 6,400,000 options were cancelled on December 27, 2004
and 3,200,000 options were issued on December 27, 2004 to each of Mr. O'Neill
and Mr. Sargeant to replace their cancelled options. The new options have a
$0.08 exercise price and expire December 27, 2006. On February 9, 2005 the
Company cancelled 3,200,000 options for both Mr. O'Neill and Mr. Sargeant. On
the same date the Company issued 1,500,000 options at $0.06 to both Mr. O'Neill
and Mr. Sargeant.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Other than as described below, we are not a party to any material legal
proceedings and to our knowledge, no such proceedings are threatened or
contemplated.
1. Oppression Action by Lavorato/Heyman
In 2002, an oppression action was commenced in the Supreme Court of
British Columbia by the plaintiffs Brian Lavorato, Geraldine Heyman and their
respective holding companies, alleging that Essentially Yours Industries Corp.,
our affiliate, had improperly vended assets into Essentially Yours Industries,
Inc., our wholly owned subsidiary, as part of a corporate restructuring alleged
to be oppressive to the plaintiffs. As of April 4, 2003, the lawsuit has been
settled and was subsequently dismissed by the plaintiffs by consent, with the
exception of claims asserted by the plaintiffs against Thomas K. Viccars, a
former in-house counsel of Essentially Yours Industries, Corp., who may
potentially assert a third party claim against Essentially Yours Industries,
Inc. On May 1, 2006 we entered into a settlement agreement with Thomas Viccars,
pursuant to which we will pay $60,000 to Mr. Viccars in full and final
settlement of all claims against EYI.
2. Action By Suhl, Harris and Babich
In 2003 a consolidated action was brought by the plaintiffs Wolf Suhl,
Christine Harris and Edward Babich in the Supreme Court of British Columbia
pursuant to an order pronounced in the New Westminster Registry under Action No.
S061589 on May 7, 2003, which allowed the plaintiffs to proceed with an action
against Essentially Yours Industries, Inc. The plaintiffs allege that
Essentially Yours Industries, Inc. holds certain of its products or revenues
derived therefrom as trust property for the benefit of the plaintiffs.
The claim is for an aggregate of 4.9% of the wholesale volume of sales
generated by Essentially Yours Industries, Inc. from the alleged trust property,
and for damages and costs. A consolidated statement of defense has been filed by
Essentially Yours Industries, Inc., and interrogatories have been responded to.
Management believes this claim to be without merit and intends to vigorously
defend against this claim. In February 2006, the Supreme Court of British
Columbia made an order that EYI and Mr. Jay Sargeant be added to the lawsuit,
and the Writ of Summons and Statement of Claim be amended to add the following
claims: (a) against EYI, damages for unjust enrichment and breach of trust for
any amount found to be owing by Essentially Yours Industries, Inc. plus interest
and costs; and (b) against Jay Sargeant, damages for unjust enrichment and
breach of trust for any amount found to be owing by Essentially Yours
Industries, Inc. or Barry La Rose, plus interest and costs. The Plaintiffs'
total claim is approximately $478,000. On April 13, 2006, the plaintiffs amended
their pleadings to assert claims against EYI and Jay Sargeant. EYI has entered
an Appearance to the action and plans to file a Defence. Jay Sargeant has not
been served with process. This matter is set for trial commencing September 11,
2006. The parties are presently negotiating to settle these claims.
3. Lease Agreement with Business Centers, LLC
In February 1999 our subsidiary, Halo Distribution, LLC entered into a
Lease Agreement with Business Centers, LLC (the "Landlord"). This Lease
Agreement was extended for a period of three years on January 5, 2004. We
received a letter dated August 2, 2005 notifying us of a default by Halo under
the lease agreement and notice that the landlord intends to commence legal
proceedings against Halo and EYI for the sum of $150,000 for defaulted lease
payments. We received a statement of claim from the landlord in November, 2005
naming Halo and us as defendants and requesting payment of the defaulted lease
payments. On December 21, 2005 we entered into a written Settlement Agreement
and Release with Halo Distribution, LLC and Business Centers, LLC agreeing to
the terms and conditions of the settlement set forth in the agreement. Pursuant
to the terms of the settlement agreement we agreed to transfer property with a
value of $46,875 to the Landlord in exchange for a release of all claims against
EYI or its subsidiaries.

In November 2002, we entered into a consulting agreement with O'Neill
Enterprises, Inc., a company controlled by Dori O'Neill, our Executive Vice
President, Chief Operations Officer, Secretary, Treasurer and a member of our
Board of Directors. Pursuant to the agreement, we agreed to pay $15,000 per
month in consideration of management consulting services provided by Mr. O'Neill
to us. This agreement automatically renewed on a year-to-year basis at the end
of the initial five (5) year term. Effective January 1, 2004, we increased the
consulting fee payable to Mr. O'Neill to $20,000 per month with a five year
extension.
In November 2002, we entered into a consulting agreement with Flaming
Gorge, Inc., a company controlled by Jay Sargeant, our President, Chief
Executive Officer and a member of our Board of Directors. Pursuant to the

consulting services provided by Mr. Sargeant to us. This agreement automatically
renewed on a year-to-year basis at the end of the initial five (5) year term.
Effective January 1, 2004, we extended the consulting agreement of Mr. Sargeant

On May 27, 2002, pursuant to a Declaration of Trust and the revised First
Amendment to Trust Agreement dated December 23, 2003, 91,874,538 shares of our
common stock were held by Jay Sargeant as trustee on behalf of certain

of the shares were owned by Mr. Sargeant beneficially. The trust was unwound in
March, 2006.
In January 2004, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with
Rajesh Raniga Inc ("RR INC") whereas Rajesh Raniga, the principal of RR INC., is

consideration of $150 CAD per hour with a minimum charge of $2,000 CAD per month
and 250,000 shares of our common stock. In January, 2004, we issued 250,000
shares of restricted common stock to Rajesh Raniga Inc. as compensation for the
high degree of responsibility associated with the position, and the assistance
provided with the share exchange transaction with Safe ID. Mr. Raniga became our
chief financial officer on January 1, 2004. Rajesh Raniga, nor RR INC., is an
employee of the Company, but rather RR INC. is an independent contractor.
During the year ended December 31, 2004, we purchased approximately 90% of
our products for resale from Nutri-Diem Inc., a company owned in part by a
director of our company.
On April 30, 2004, we entered into an amendment to our License and
Distribution Agreement with Nutri-Diem, lowering the amount of expenditures we
are required to make under the agreement. Pursuant to the term of the original
License and Distribution Agreement, we were required to expend the following
amounts on purchasing the products of Nutri-Diem over the term of the Agreement:
(i) from June 1, 2003 to May 31, 2004, the minimum amount of CDN$7,000,000, (ii)
from June 1, 2004 to May 31, 2005 the minimum amount of CDN$20,000,000 and (iii)
for each year thereafter, CDN$50,000,000. Pursuant to the terms of the amendment
to the License and Distribution Agreement we are presently required to expend
the following amounts on purchasing the products of Nutri-Diem over the term of
the License and Distribution Agreement: (i) from June 1, 2003 to May 31, 2004,
$1,530,000, from June 1, 2004 to May 31, 2005, $3,825,000, and (iii) for each
year thereafter, $5,355,000. We reduced the minimum purchase amounts as
management did not believe that those amounts were achievable in the respective
time period. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003
we purchased product from Nutri-Diem totaling $1,640,857 CAD and $2,318,073 CAD
respectively. Nutri-diem earns a gross profit of 34% to 39% on all product sales
to EYI.

Act. All securities were endorsed with a restrictive legend confirming that the
securities cannot be resold without registration under the Securities act or an
applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.
On January 1, 2004 the Company entered into an agreement with a consultant
to provide services in exchange for 250,000 common shares at $0.28. During the
quarter ended March 31, 2004 we issued 100,000 shares of our common stock at a
price of $0.28 per share to a consultant in respect of fees owed for certain
consulting services provided to us by the consultant. All securities issued were
endorsed with a restrictive legend confirming that the securities cannot be
resold without registration under the Securities Act or an applicable exemption
from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The issuance was
completed pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act on the basis that the
consultant was a sophisticated investor.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2004, we issued 50,000 shares of our
common stock at a price of $0.22 per share to a consultant in respect of fees
owed for certain consulting services provided to us by the consultant. All
securities issued were endorsed with a restrictive legend confirming that the
securities cannot be resold without registration under the Securities Act or an
applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.
The issuance was completed pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act on the
basis that the consultant was a sophisticated investor.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2004, we issued 5,476,190 units at a
price of $0.21 per unit to Eyewonder in respect of certain amounts owed to
Eyewonder under our Letter Agreement with Eyewonder. Each unit was comprised of
one share of our common stock and one share purchase warrant entitling Eyewonder
to purchase one share of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.30 per
share for a period expiring May 4, 2009. Eyewonder is a subcontractor, which
provides streaming video technology to EYI. The Company believes that the
Eyewonder transaction was not a related party transaction, as the Company and
Eyewonder had no prior relationship and no individuals and/or entities were
related to the Company and Eyewonder. The issuance was completed pursuant to
Section 4(2) of the Securities Act on the basis that Eyewonder was a
sophisticated investor.
As of June 7, 2004, we completed the sale of 136,548 units at a price of
$0.21 per unit for proceeds of $28,675 to seven investors. Each unit was
comprised of one share of our common stock and one share purchase warrant. Each
share purchase warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of our common
stock at a price of $0.30 per share for the three year period following closing.
A total of 136,548 shares and 136,548 share purchase warrants were issued. The
purchasers consisted of seven "accredited investors", as defined by Rule 501 of
Regulation D of the Securities Act. The sales were completed pursuant to Rule
506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act. All securities issued were endorsed
with a restrictive legend confirming that the securities cannot be resold
without registration under the Securities Act or an applicable exemption from
the registration requirements of the Securities Act.
On June 22, 2004, we issued 1,266,589 and 33,411 restricted shares of our
common stock to Cornell Capital Partners and Newbridge Securities Corporation,
respectively in payment of certain fees owed to Cornell Capital Partners and
Newbridge under the terms of the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement and a
Placement Agent Agreement. All issuances were completed pursuant to Rule 506 of
Regulation D of the Securities Act on the basis that Newbridge and Cornell are
"accredited investors", as defined by Rule 501 of Regulation D of the Securities
Act. All securities issued were endorsed with a restrictive legend confirming
that the securities cannot be resold without registration under the Securities
Act or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act.
On June 22, 2004, we entered into a secured convertible debenture
transaction with Cornell Capital Partners in the principal amount of $500,000.
The sale of these Secured Convertible Debentures is complete. EYI Industries
received $250,000 from the issuance of the first Secured Convertible Debenture
on June 22, 2004, and we received $250,000 five business days following the
filing of the accompanying registration statement. The Secured Convertible
Debentures are convertible at the holder's option any time up to maturity at a
conversion price equal to the lower of (i) 120% of the closing bid price of the
common stock as of the date of issuance, or (ii) 80% of the average of the
lowest daily volume weighted average price of our common stock for the 5 trading
days immediately preceding the conversion date. At maturity, the remaining
unpaid principal and accrued interest under the debentures shall be, at our
option, either paid or converted into shares of common stock at a conversion
price equal to the lower of (i) 120% of the closing bid price of the common
stock as of the date of issuance or (ii) 80% of the lowest closing bid price of
the common stock for the lowest trading days of the 5 trading days immediately
preceding the conversion date. The Secured Convertible Debenture is secured by
all of EYI Industries' assets. The Secured Convertible Debentures accrue
interest at a rate of 5% per year and have a term of 3 years. In the event the
Secured Convertible Debentures are redeemed, then EYI Industries will issue to
the holders a warrant to purchase 50,000 shares for every $100,000 redeemed at
an exercise price of 120% of the closing bid price as of June 22, 2004. The
holders purchased the Secured Convertible Debentures from EYI Industries in a
private placement on June 22, 2004. On September 24, 2004, we issued the second
secured convertible debenture in the principal amount of $250,000 to Cornell
Capital Partners on the same terms and conditions as the secured convertible
debenture described above. EYI Industries is registering in this offering
8,352,823 shares of common stock underlying the Secured Convertible Debentures.
On April 4, 2005, Cornell Capital Partners assigned all of its rights and
interests in the secured convertible debentures to Taib Bank E.C. All investment
decisions of Taib Bank E.C. are made by Larry Chaleff, its Managing Director. In
addition, on April 4, 2005, EYI Industries and Taib Bank E.C. entered into a
Redemption Agreement, whereby EYI Industries agreed to first use any proceeds
received by EYI Industries under the Equity Distribution Agreement with Cornell
Capital Partners to redeem any remaining principal and accrued interest under
the assigned Secured Convertible Debentures.

In February 2005, the Company issued 800,000 shares of our common stock at
a deemed price of $0.05 per share to Janet Carpenter. These shares were given to
Ms. Carpenter in consideration of her providing the guarantee and pledge
required for our loan agreement with Cornell Capital.
In June 2005, we completed the sale of 1,000,000 units at a price of $0.02
per unit for proceeds of $20,000 to one investor. Each unit was comprised of one
share of our common stock and one share purchase warrant. Each share purchase
warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of our common stock at a price
of $0.02 per share for a one year period following closing. A total of 1,000,000
shares and 1,000,000 share purchase warrants were issued. The purchaser is an
"accredited investor", as defined by Rule 501 of Regulation D of the Securities
Act. The sale was completed pursuant to Rule 506 of Regulation D of the
Securities Act. All securities issued were endorsed with a restrictive legend
confirming that the securities cannot be resold without registration under the
Securities Act or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of
the Securities Act.
With respect to the sale of unregistered securities referenced above, all
transactions were exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the
Securities Act of 1933 (the "1933 Act"), and Regulation D promulgated under the
1933 Act. In each instance, the purchaser had access to sufficient information
regarding EYI so as to make an informed investment decision. More specifically,
EYI had a reasonable basis to believe that each purchaser was an "accredited
investor" as defined in Regulation D of the 1933 Act and otherwise had the
requisite sophistication to make an investment in EYI's common stock.

* Current management of EYI Industries has limited information with respect
to the issuances of unregistered securities prior to the Share Exchange
transaction consummated on December 31, 2003 between our company and
certain shareholders of Essentially Yours Industries, Inc.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
Common Stock
Our Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of 1,000,000,000
shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share. As of June 1, 2006,
260,273,921 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding. The following
description is a summary of the capital stock of EYI Industries and contains the
material terms of the capital stock. Additional information can be found in EYI
Industries' Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws.
Each holder of our common stock is entitled to one vote per share of
common stock standing in such holder's name on our records on each matter
submitted to a vote of our stockholders, except as otherwise required by law.
Holders of our common stock do not have cumulative voting rights so that the
holders of more than 50% of the combined shares of our common stock voting for
the election of directors may elect all of the directors if they choose to do so
and, in that event, the holders of the remaining shares of our common stock will
not be able to elect any members to our board of directors. Holders of our
common stock are entitled to equal dividends and distributions, per share, when,
as and if declared by our board of directors from funds legally available.
Holders of our common stock do not have preemptive rights to subscribe for any
of our securities nor are any shares of our common stock redeemable or
convertible into any of our other securities. If we liquidate, dissolve or wind
up our business or affairs, our assets will be divided up pro-rata on a
share-for-share basis among the holders of our common stock after creditors and
preferred shareholders, if any, are paid.
Preferred Stock
Our Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of 10,000,000 shares
of preferred stock, $0.001 par value per share, the designation and rights of
which are to be determined by our Board of Directors. As of June 1, 2006, no
shares of preferred stock were issued and outstanding.
Our Board of Directors has authority, without action by the shareholders,
to issue all or any portion of the authorized but unissued preferred stock in
one or more series and to determine the voting rights, preferences as to
dividends and liquidation, conversion rights, and other rights of such series.
We consider it desirable to have preferred stock available to provide increased
flexibility in structuring possible future acquisitions and financing and in
meeting corporate needs which may arise. If opportunities arise that would make
desirable the issuance of preferred stock through either public offering or
private placements, the provisions for preferred stock in our Articles of
Incorporation would avoid the possible delay and expense of a shareholder's
meeting, except as may be required by law or regulatory authorities. Issuance of
the preferred stock could result, however, in a series of securities outstanding
that will have certain preferences with respect to dividends and liquidation
over the common stock which would result in dilution of the income per share and
net book value of the common stock. Issuance of additional common stock pursuant
to any conversion right which may be attached to the terms of any series of
preferred stock may also result in dilution of the net income per share and the
net book value of the common stock. The specific terms of any series of
preferred stock will depend primarily on market conditions, terms of a proposed
acquisition or financing, and other factors existing at the time of issuance.
Therefore, it is not possible at this time to determine in what respect a
particular series of preferred stock will be superior to our common stock or any
other series of preferred stock which we may issue. Our Board of Directors may
issue additional preferred stock in future financing, but has no current plans
to do so at this time.
The issuance of preferred stock could have the effect of making it more
difficult for a third party to acquire a majority of our outstanding voting
stock. We intend to furnish holders of our common stock annual reports
containing audited financial statements and to make public quarterly reports
containing unaudited financial information.

Disclosure Of SEC Position On Indemnification For Securities Act Liabilities
Our Articles of Incorporation, as well as our By-Laws provide for the
indemnification of directors, officers, employees and agents of the corporation
to the fullest extent provided by the corporate laws of the State of Nevada, as
well as is described in the Articles of Incorporation and the By-Laws. These
sections generally provide that the Company may indemnify any person who was or
is a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding
whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative except for an action by
or in right of the corporation by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a
director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation. Generally, no
indemnification may be made where the person has been determined to be negligent
or guilty of misconduct in the performance of his or her duties to the Company.
71
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be permitted to directors, officers or controlling persons of EYI
Industries, pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been
advised that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of
1933, and is, therefore, unenforceable.
Anti-Takeover Effects Of Provisions Of The Articles Of Incorporation Authorized
And Unissued Stock
The authorized but unissued shares of our common and preferred stock are
available for future issuance without our shareholders' approval. These
additional shares may be utilized for a variety of corporate purposes including
but not limited to future public or direct offerings to raise additional
capital, corporate acquisitions and employee incentive plans.
72

EYI INDUSTRIES, INC.
CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2006
NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Essentially Yours Industries, Inc. (hereinafter "EYI") was incorporated on June
21, 2002 in the State of Nevada. The main business activities of Essentially
Yours Industries, Inc. were acquired through a merger with the former entity,
Burrard Capital, Inc., and other entities concerning EYI's reorganization. On
December 31, 2003, EYI entered into a share exchange agreement of its stock with
Safe ID Corporation ("Safe ID"). This transaction was accounted for as a share
exchange and recapitalization. As a result of this transaction, Safe ID has
changed its name to EYI Industries, Inc. ("the Company") and is acting as the
parent holding company for the operating subsidiaries.
The principal business of the Company is the marketing of health and wellness
care products. The Company sells its products primarily through network
marketing distributors, which in turn sell the products to the end customers.
The Company also sells product directly and through affiliates. The Company
maintains its principal business office in Burnaby, British Columbia. Effective
for the period ended December 31, 2003, the Company elected to change its
year-end from June 30 to December 31.
The Company has six wholly owned subsidiaries. The first subsidiary is Halo
Distribution LLC (hereinafter "Halo"), which was organized on January 15, 1999
in the State of Kentucky. Halo was the distribution center for the Company's
product, in addition to other products, until April 30, 2005 at which time the
Company made the decision to discontinue its operations. Halo was dissolved on
November 1, 2005. The second subsidiary is RGM International Inc., which was
incorporated on July 3, 1997, in the State of Nevada. RGM International Inc. is
a dormant investment company which owns one percent of Halo. The third
subsidiary is Essentially Yours Industries (Canada) Inc. (hereinafter "EYI
Canada"), which was incorporated on September 13, 2002 under the Canada Business
Corporations Act. EYI Canada markets health and wellness care products for use
in Canada. The fourth subsidiary is 642706 B.C. Ltd., doing business as EYI
Management, which was organized on February 22, 2002 in the province of British
Columbia, Canada. EYI Management provides accounting, customer service and
marketing services to the consolidated entity. The fifth subsidiary is
Essentially Yours Industries (Hong Kong) Limited ("EYI HK"). EYI HK was
organized on August 23, 2005 in Hong Kong. EYI HK markets health and wellness
care products for use in Hong Kong and China. The sixth subsidiary is
Essentially Yours Industries (International) Limited ("EYI INTL"). EYI INTL was
organized on December 6, 2005 to facilitate our expansion throughout other
Southeast Asian countries.
In addition, the Company owns approximately 98% of Essentially Yours Industries,
Inc. ("EYII"), incorporated on June 21, 2002 in the State of Nevada. EYII
markets health and wellness care products for use in USA. The Company also owns
51% of World Wide Buyers' Club Inc. ("WWBC"), a Nevada corporation, which was
organized by a joint venture agreement effective May 6, 2004.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying interim condensed financial statements are prepared in
accordance with rules set forth in Regulation SB of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. As said, these statements do not include all disclosures required
under generally accepted principles and should be read in conjunction with the
audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005. In the
opinion of management, all required adjustments which consist of normal
re-occurring accruals have been made to the financial statements.
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities known to exist as of the date the financial statements are
published, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Uncertainties with respect to such estimates and assumptions
are inherent in the preparation of the Company's financial statements.
Accordingly, it is possible that the actual results could differ from these
estimates and assumptions that could have a material effect on the reported
amounts of the Company's financial position and results of operations.
F-6
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
This summary of significant accounting policies of EYI Industries, Inc., is
presented to assist in understanding the Company's financial statements. The
financial statements and notes are representations of the Company's management,
which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting
policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America, and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the
financial statements.
Inventory
The Company records inventories at the lower of cost or market on a first-in,
first-out basis. Our product inventory is reviewed each month and also when the
re-order of the product is necessary. On a monthly basis, our inventory is
reviewed based on the expiration of our existing inventory. Product that has a
shelf-life of less than 60 days is written off or discounted.
A re-order review consists of an evaluation of our current monthly sales volume
of the product, cost of product, shelf-life of the product, and the
manufacturers minimum purchase requirement which all determine the overall
potential profitability or loss of re-ordering. If the re-order of the product
has an assessed loss, then the recommendation to management is to remove the
product from the product line.
Revenue Recognition
The Company is in the business of selling nutritional products in three
categories: dietary supplements, personal care products, and water filtration
systems. Sales of personal care products and water filtration systems represent
less than 5% of the overall revenue and therefore are not classified separately
in the financial statements. The Company recognized revenue from product sales
when the products are shipped and title passes to the customer. Administrative
fees charged to the Independent Business Associates are included in the gross
sales and amounted to $39,990 and $41,096 for the three months ended March 31,
2006 and March 31, 2005 respectively.
Stock Options and Warrants Granted to Employees and Non-Employees
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS No. 123R"), defines a fair value-based method
of accounting for stock options and other equity instruments. The Company has
adopted this method, which measures compensation costs based on the estimated
fair value of the award and recognizes that cost over the service period.
Going Concern
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company had negative
working capital of approximately $1,578,000 and an accumulated deficit at March
31, 2006. The Company also has limited cash resources and a history of recurring
losses. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any
adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded
assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary
in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.
Management has established plans designed to increase the sales of the Company's
products, and decrease debt. The Company plans on continuing to reduce expenses,
and with small gains in any combination of network sales, direct sales,
international sales, and warehouse sales, believe that they will eventually be
able to reverse the present deficit. Management intends to seek additional
capital from new equity securities offerings that will provide funds needed to
increase liquidity, fund internal growth and fully implement its business plan.
Management plans include negotiations to convert significant portions of
existing debt into equity.
The timing and amount of capital requirements will depend on a number of
factors, including demand for products and services and the availability of
opportunities for international expansion through affiliations and other
business relationships.
NOTE 3 - ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND CREDIT RISK
Accounts receivable at March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 consist primarily of
amounts due from direct retail clients of EYI.
F-7
NOTE 4 - PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Capital assets are recorded at cost. Depreciation is calculated using the
straight line method over three to seven years.
NOTE 5 - INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Intangible assets consist of rights, title, and interest in and to the contracts
with the Company's independent business associates, as well as the rights and
licenses to trademarks and formula for the Company's primary products. These
rights and licenses were obtained from the Company's former parent, pursuant to
a transfer agreement, as well as from the Company's primary shareholder.
Trademarks and Formulas
Costs relating to the purchase of trademarks and formulas were capitalized and
amortized using the straight-line method over ten years, representing the
estimated life of the assets.
NOTE 6 - CAPITAL STOCK
Preferred Stock
The Company is authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a
par value of $0.001. As of March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 the Company has
not issued any preferred stock.
Common Stock
The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000,000 shares of common stock. All
shares have equal voting rights, are non-assessable and have one vote per share.
Voting rights are not cumulative and, therefore, the holders of more than 50% of
the common stock could, if they choose to do so, elect all of the directors of
the Company.
Between January 1, 2006 and March 31, 2006, the Company issued 42,941,686 shares
to Cornell Capital in exchange for $1,084,565.
On February 6, 2006 the Jay Sargeant Trust was dissolved and the related shares
were disbursed to the beneficiaries. In connection with this transaction,
268,639 common shares were returned to treasury.
NOTE 7 - COMMON STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation" (hereinafter "SFAS No. 123"), defines a fair value-based method of
accounting for stock options and other equity instruments. The Company has
adopted this method, which measures compensation costs based on the estimated
fair value of the award and recognizes that cost over the service period.
In accordance with SFAS No. 123, the fair value of stock options and warrants
granted are estimated using the Black-Scholes Option Price Calculation. The
following assumptions were made to value the stock options and warrants for the
period ended December 31, 2005: estimated risk-free interest rate of 4%; no
dividends to be paid; estimated volatility of 144% and term of two years.
Stock Options
During the period ending December 31, 2004, the Company's board of directors
approved the Stock Compensation Program to allow up to 25,000,000 shares of
stock to be issued under the program. This plan enables the Company to grant
stock options to directors, officers, employees and eligible consultants of the
Company. There was no Company stock option plan in effect prior to 2004.
During the period ended March 31, 2006, the Company recognized an expense to
consulting of $3,750 for all vested options.
Following is a summary of the status of the stock options during the three
months:

NOTE 8 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Purchase Agreement
On June 30, 2002, the Company entered into a distribution and license agreement
with a company in which one of the Company's directors has an ownership
interest. The agreement gives the Company the exclusive right to market, sell
and distribute certain products for a five-year renewable term. Management
estimates that 87% of the Company's sales volume results from products supplied
under this licensing agreement.
F-9
Pursuant to the agreement, the Company is required to purchase a minimum amount
of $6,035,000 of product in each of the remaining years.
In the event that the Company is unable to meet the minimum purchase
requirements of the licensing agreement or the terms requiring it to pay 15% of
the difference between the minimum purchase amount referred to above and actual
purchases for that year in which there is a shortfall, then the licensor has
various remedies available to it including renegotiating the agreement, removing
exclusivity rights, or terminating the agreement.
As of the date of these financial statements, the purchase requirements have not
been made. The period for which the Licensor could request payment per the
penalty clause has expired for the year and therefore we have not made any
accrual to the Financial Statements. As well, we continue to purchase Nutri Diem
products.
Lease Payments
The Company has operating lease commitments for its premises, office equipment
and an automobile. The minimum annual lease commitments are as follows:
Minimum
Year ended December 31, Amount
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2006 $ 218,469
2007 163,285
2008 141,841
2009 147,013
2010 and thereafter 309,544
Regulatory Risks and Claims
The Company's products are subject to regulation by a number of federal and
state entities, as well as those of foreign countries in which the Company's
products are sold. These regulatory entities may prohibit or restrict the sale,
distribution, or advertising of the Company's products for legal, health or
safety related reasons. In addition to the potential risk of adverse regulatory
actions, the Company is subject to the risk of potential product liability
claims.
Standby Equity Distribution Agreement
On May 13, 2005 the Company entered into a Standby Equity Distribution Agreement
with Cornell Capital Partners, LP ("Cornell") pursuant to which we entered into
the following agreements: a Registration Rights Agreement, an Escrow Agreement,
and a Placement Agent Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the new Standby Equity
Distribution Agreement, we may, at our discretion, periodically issue and sell
shares of our common stock for a total purchase price of $10 million. If we
request advances under the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement, Cornell will
purchase shares of our common stock for 98% of the lowest volume weighted
average price on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board or other principal market
on which our common stock is traded for the 5 days immediately following the
advance notice date. Cornell will retain 5% of each advance under the new
Standby Equity Distribution Agreement. We may not request advances in excess of
a total of $10 million. Pursuant to the terms of our Registration Rights
Agreement and the Standby Equity Agreement with Cornell, we agreed to register
and qualify, among other things, the additional shares due to Cornell under the
Standby Equity Agreement under a registration statement filed with the SEC.
Other Matters
The Company's predecessor organization, Essentially Yours Industries Corp.
("EYIC"), a British Columbia corporation, has outstanding claims from the
Internal Revenue Service for penalties and interest of approximately $2,000,000.
Furthermore, one or more states may have claims against EYIC for unpaid state
income taxes. Management believes that these claims are limited solely to EYIC
and that any prospective unpaid tax claims against the Company are remote and
unable to be estimated.
F-10
NOTE 9 - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
During the period ended December 31, 2005, the Company elected to discontinue
the operations of Halo Distribution LLC (hereinafter "Halo"), a subsidiary of
the Company. The Company's balance sheet reports net liabilities from
discontinued operations of $375,344 as at March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005.
In June 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards, No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with
Exit or Disposal Activities" (hereinafter "SFAS No. 146"). SFAS No. 146
addresses significant issues regarding the recognition, measurement, and
reporting of costs associated with exit and disposal activities, including
restructuring activities. SFAS No. 146 also addresses recognition of certain
costs related to terminating a contract that is not a capital lease, costs to
consolidate facilities or relocate employees, and termination benefits provided
to employees that are involuntarily terminated under the terms of a one-time
benefit arrangement that is not an ongoing benefit arrangement or an individual
deferred-compensation contract. SFAS No. 146 was issued in June 2002, effective
December 31, 2002. The Company's financial position and results of operations
have not been affected by adopting SFAS No. 146.
NOTE 10 - RELATED PARTY NOTE PAYABLE
The Company issued two promissory notes for a total of $90,000 in December 2003.
The notes are unsecured, non-interest bearing and are payable upon demand.
NOTE 11 - CONCENTRATIONS

the Company may maintain balances in excess of the federally insured amounts in
the accounts that are maintained in the United States. The Company also
maintains funds in commercial banks in Vancouver, British Columbia, in which
funds in U.S. dollars are not insured or in Hong Kong where none of the funds
are insured. At March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, a total of $59,016 and
$56,088 respectively, was not insured.
Economic Dependence
During the year, the Company purchased approximately 90% of its products for
resale from one company, Nutri-Diem Inc., which is the sole supplier of the
Company's flagship product Calorad. Pursuant to a purchase agreement, the
Company is subject to minimum purchases per annum. (See Note 8.)
NOTE 12 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
On May 27, 2002, Mr. Jay Sargeant, a shareholder of Essentially Yours
Industries, Corp. ("EYI Corp.") agreed to acquire all of the shares of the
Essentially Yours Industries, Inc. ("EYII"), along with the transfer agreement,
license agreement, and agency appointment agreement, in settlement of amounts
owed to him. As part of this transaction, EYI Corp. agreed to provide to EYII
the services outlined in a management agreement.
The Company acquired, through agreements with Essentially Yours Industries,
Corp. ("EYI Corp"), the rights, title, and interest in and to the contracts with
the Company's Independent Business Associates as well as the rights and licenses
to trademarks and formula for the Company's primary products.
Accounts payable to related parties represents amounts due to the President and
Chief Executive Officer and to the Chief Operations Officer for services
preformed during the last year, as well as to other related parties and the
company with which they have a signed management agreement. These payables are
non-interest bearing and non-collateralized.
The Company purchases approximately 90% of its products for resale from one
company, Nutri-Diem Inc., which is owned in part by a director of the Company.
F-11
NOTE 13 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On April 3, 2006 we signed a Termination Agreement with Cornell Capital
Partners, L.P for the purpose of terminating our Standby Equity Distribution
Agreement, Registration Rights Agreement and Escrow Agreement all of which are
dated as of May 13, 2005.
On April 24, 2006 the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with
the Cornell, TAIB Bank, and Certain Wealth (collectively the "Buyers" and

Agreement, the Company shall sell to the Buyers, and the Buyers shall purchase

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of EYI Industries,
Inc. as of December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004 and the related consolidated
statements of operations, stockholders' deficit and cash flows for the periods
then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of
the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
consolidated financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of EYI Industries, Inc.
as of December 31, 2005, and December 31, 2004 and the results of its
operations, stockholders' equity and its cash flows for the years then ended in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the
consolidated financial statements, the Company has recorded significant losses
from operations, ahs insufficient revenues to support operational cash flows and
has a working capital deficit which together raise substantial doubt about its
ability to continue as a going concern an accumulated deficit, and a negative
working capital position. These factors raise substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regards
to these matters are described in Note 2. The financial statements do not
include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Essentially Yours Industries, Inc. (hereinafter "EYI") was incorporated on June
21, 2002 in the State of Nevada. The main business activities of Essentially
Yours Industries, Inc. were acquired through a merger with the former entity,
Burrard Capital, Inc., and other entities concerning EYI's reorganization. On
December 31, 2003, EYI entered into a share exchange agreement of its stock with
Safe ID Corporation ("Safe ID"). This transaction was accounted for as a share
exchange and recapitalization. As a result of this transaction, Safe ID has
changed its name to EYI Industries, Inc. ("the Company") and is acting as the
parent holding company for the operating subsidiaries.
The principal business of the Company is the marketing of health and wellness
care products. The Company sells its products primarily through network
marketing distributors, which in turn, sell the products to the end customers.
The Company also sells product directly and through affiliates. The Company

Accounting Pronouncements - Recent
F-25
In March 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 156, "Accounting for Servicing of Financial
Assets--an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140." This statement requires an
entity to recognize a servicing asset or servicing liability each time it
undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset by entering into a
servicing contract in any of the following situations: a transfer of the
servicer's financial assets that meets the requirements for sale accounting; a
transfer of the servicer's financial assets to a qualifying special-purpose
entity in a guaranteed mortgage securitization in which the transferor retains
all of the resulting securities and classifies them as either available-for-sale
securities or trading securities; or an acquisition or assumption of an
obligation to service a financial asset that does not relate to financial assets
of the servicer or its consolidated affiliates. The statement also requires all
separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities to be initially
measured at fair value, if practicable and permits an entity to choose either
the amortization or fair value method for subsequent measurement of each class
of servicing assets and liabilities. The statement further permits, at its
initial adoption, a one-time reclassification of available for sale securities
to trading securities by entities with recognized servicing rights, without
calling into question the treatment of other available for sale securities under
Statement 115, provided that the available for sale securities are identified in
some manner as offsetting the entity's exposure to changes in fair value of
servicing assets or servicing liabilities that a servicer elects to subsequently
measure at fair value and requires separate presentation of servicing assets and
servicing liabilities subsequently measured at fair value in the statement of
financial position and additional disclosures for all separately recognized
servicing assets and servicing liabilities. This statement is effective for
fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006, with early adoption permitted
as of the beginning of an entity's fiscal year. Management believes the adoption
of this statement will have no impact on the Company's financial condition or
results of operations.
In February 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 155, "Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial
Instruments, an Amendment of FASB Standards No. 133 and 140" (hereinafter "SFAS
No. 155"). This statement established the accounting for certain derivatives
embedded in other instruments. It simplifies accounting for certain hybrid
financial instruments by permitting fair value remeasurement for any hybrid
instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require
bifurcation under SFAS No. 133 as well as eliminating a restriction on the
passive derivative instruments that a qualifying special-purpose entity ("SPE")
may hold under SFAS No. 140. This statement allows a public entity to
irrevocably elect to initially and subsequently measure a hybrid instrument that
would be required to be separated into a host contract and derivative in its
entirety at fair value (with changes in fair value recognized in earnings) so
long as that instrument is not designated as a hedging instrument pursuant to
the statement. SFAS No. 140 previously prohibited a qualifying special-purpose
entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a
beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. This
statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006, with
early adoption permitted as of the beginning of an entity's fiscal year.
Management believes the adoption of this statement will have no impact on the
Company's financial condition or results of operations.
In May 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 154, "Accounting Changes and Error
Corrections," (hereinafter "SFAS No. 154") which replaces Accounting Principles
Board Opinion No. 20, "Accounting Changes," and SFAS No. 3, "Reporting
Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements - An Amendment of APB Opinion
No. 28." SFAS No. 154 provides guidance on accounting for and reporting changes
in accounting principle and error corrections. SFAS No. 154 requires that
changes in accounting principle be applied retrospectively to prior period
financial statements and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 2005. The Company does not expect SFAS No. 154 to have a material impact on
its consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
In March 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB
Interpretation No. 47 ("FIN 47"), "Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement
Obligations." FIN 47 clarifies that the term "conditional asset retirement
obligation," which as used in SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement
Obligations," refers to a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement
activity in which the timing and (or) method of settlement are conditional on a
future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity. The entity
must record a liability for a "conditional" asset retirement obligation if the
fair value of the obligation can be reasonably estimated. FIN 47 also clarifies
when an entity would have sufficient information to reasonably estimate the fair
value of an asset retirement obligation. FIN 47 is effective no later than the
end of fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005.
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 153. This statement addresses the measurement
of exchanges of nonmonetary assets. The guidance in APB Opinion No. 29,
"Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions," is based on the principle that
exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of
the assets exchanged. The guidance in that opinion, however, included certain
exceptions to that principle. This statement amends Opinion 29 to eliminate the
exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it
with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have
commercial substance. A nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the
future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result
of the exchange. This statement is effective for financial statements for fiscal
years beginning after June 15, 2005. Management believes the adoption of this
statement will have no impact on the financial statements of the Company.
F-26
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 152, which amends FASB statement No. 66,
"Accounting for Sales of Real Estate," to reference the financial accounting and
reporting guidance for real estate time-sharing transactions that is provided in
AICPA Statement of Position (SOP) 04-2, "Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing
Transactions." This statement also amends FASB Statement No. 67, "Accounting for
Costs and Initial Rental Operations of Real Estate Projects," to state that the
guidance for (a) incidental operations and (b) costs incurred to sell real
estate projects does not apply to real estate time-sharing transactions. The
accounting for those operations and costs is subject to the guidance in SOP
04-2. This statement is effective for financial statements for fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 2005. Management believes the adoption of this
statement will have no impact on the financial statements of the Company.
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a revision to
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, "Accounting for Stock
Based Compensation" (hereinafter "SFAS No. 123R"). This statement supersedes APB
Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and its related
implementation guidance. This statement establishes standards for the accounting
for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods
or services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs
liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value
of the entity's equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of
those equity instruments. This statement focuses primarily on accounting for
transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment
transactions. This statement does not change the accounting guidance for share
based payment transactions with parties other than employees provided in
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123. The Company has previously
adopted SFAS No. 123 and the fair value of accounting for stock options and
other equity instruments. The Company has determined that there was no impact to
its financial statements from the adoption of this new statement.
In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 151, "Inventory Costs-- an amendment of ARB
No. 43, Chapter 4". This statement amends the guidance in ARB No. 43, Chapter 4,
"Inventory Pricing," to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle
facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage).
Paragraph 5 of ARB 43, Chapter 4, previously stated that ". . . under some
circumstances, items such as idle facility expense, excessive spoilage, double
freight, and rehandling costs may be so abnormal as to require treatment as
current period charges. . . ." This statement requires that those items be
recognized as current-period charges regardless of whether they meet the
criterion of "so abnormal." In addition, this statement requires that allocation
of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal
capacity of the production facilities. This statement is effective for inventory
costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. Management
does not believe the adoption of this statement will have any immediate material
impact on the Company.
In May 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial
Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity" (hereinafter
"SFAS No. 150"). SFAS No. 150 establishes standards for classifying and
measuring certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities
and equity and requires that those instruments be classified as liabilities in
statements of financial position. Previously, many of those instruments were
classified as equity. SFAS No. 150 is effective for financial instruments
entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 and otherwise is effective at the
beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The Company
has determined that there was no impact from the adoption of this statement
In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB
Interpretation No. 46 "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an
Interpretation of ARB No. 51" (hereinafter "FIN 46"). FIN 46 requires certain
variable interest entities to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the
entity if the equity investors in the entity do not have the characteristics of
a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for
the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial
support from other parties. FIN 46 is effective for all new variable interest
entities created or acquired after January 31, 2003. The provisions of FIN 46
must be applied for the first interim or annual period beginning after June 15,
2003. The Company does not have any entities that require disclosure or new
consolidation as a result of adopting the provisions of FIN 46.
Accounts Receivable and Bad Debts
The Company estimates bad debts utilizing the allowance method, based upon past
experience and current market conditions. The Company recorded an allowance to
cover accounts receivable balances over 60 days of $26,346 and $16,321 for
December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004 respectively.
F-27
Advertising Expenses
Advertising expenses consist primarily of costs incurred in the design,
development, and printing of Company literature and marketing materials. The
Company expenses all advertising expenditures as incurred. The Company's
advertising expenses were $39,208 and $118,937 for the year ended December 31,
2005 and December 31, 2004 respectively.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly
liquid investments and short-term debt instruments with original maturities of
three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash includes deposits held in a reserve account in the amount of $0
and $100,248 at December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004 respectively. Such
deposits are required by the bank as protection against unfunded charge backs
and returns of credit card transactions. Effective June 9, 2005, the bank deemed
that this deposit is no longer necessary and released the funds to the Company.
Compensated Absences
Employees of the Company are entitled to paid vacation, and sick days, depending
on job classification, length of service, and other factors. The Company accrued
vacation pay in the amounts of $61,686 and $60,186 at December 31, 2005 and
December 31, 2004 respectively.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales consists of the purchase price of products sold, inbound and
outbound shipping charges, packaging supplies and costs associated with service
revenues and marketplace business.
Derivative Instruments
The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities" (hereinafter "SFAS No. 133"), as amended by SFAS No. 137,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the
Effective Date of FASB No. 133", and SFAS No. 138, "Accounting for Certain
Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities", and SFAS No. 149,
"Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities".
These statements establish accounting and reporting standards for derivative
instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other
contracts, and for hedging activities. They require that an entity recognize all
derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and measure
those instruments at fair value.
If certain conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically designated as a
hedge, the objective of which is to match the timing of gain or loss recognition
on the hedging derivative with the recognition of (i) the changes in the fair
value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk
or (ii) the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transaction. For a
derivative not designated as a hedging instrument, the gain or loss is
recognized in income in the period of change.
At December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004 the Company has not engaged in any
transactions that would be considered derivative instruments or hedging
activities.
Earnings Per Share
The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128,
which provides for calculation of "basic" and "diluted" earnings per share.
Basic earnings per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net
income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average common
shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the
potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of an entity
similar to fully diluted earnings per share. Basic and diluted loss per share
were the same at the reporting dates, as inclusion of the common stock
equivalents would be anti-dilutive.
F-28
Estimates
The process of preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the use
of estimates and assumptions regarding certain types of assets, liabilities,
revenues, and expenses. Such estimates primarily relate to unsettled
transactions and events as of the date of the financial statements. Accordingly,
upon settlement, actual results may differ from estimated amounts.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company's financial instruments as defined by Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial
Instruments," include cash, trade accounts receivable, and accounts payable and
accrued expenses. All instruments are accounted for on a historical cost basis,
which, due to the short maturity of these financial instruments, approximates
fair value at December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004.
Foreign Currency Translation and Other Comprehensive Income
The Company has adopted Financial Accounting Standard No. 52. Monetary assets
and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into United
States dollars at rates of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date. Gains
or losses are included in income for the year. Non-monetary assets, liabilities
and items recorded in income arising from transactions denominated in foreign
currencies are translated at rates of exchange in effect at the date of the
transaction.
As the Company's functional currency is the U.S. dollar, and all translation
gains and losses are transactional, the Company has no assets with values
recorded in Canadian dollars or Hong Kong dollars and there is no recognition of
other comprehensive income in the financial statements.
Foreign Currency Valuation and Risk Exposure
While the Company's functional currency is the U.S. dollar and the majority of
its operations are in the United States, the Company maintains its main office
in Burnaby, British Columbia. The Company also maintains an office in Kowloon,
Hong Kong. The assets and liabilities relating to both the Canadian and Hong
Kong operations are exposed to exchange rate fluctuations. Assets and
liabilities of the Company's foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars
at the year-end exchange rates, and revenue and expenses are translated at the
average exchange rate during the period. Realized gains and losses from foreign
currency transactions are reflected in the results of operations.
Impaired Asset Policy
In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard No. 121, "Accounting for Impairment of Long-lived
Assets." In complying with this standard, the Company reviews its long-lived
assets quarterly to determine if any events or changes in circumstances have
transpired which indicate that the carrying value of its assets may not be
recoverable. The Company determines impairment by comparing the undiscounted
future cash flows estimated to be generated by its assets to their respective
carrying amounts.
The Company does not believe any adjustments are needed to the carrying value of
its assets at December 31, 2005 or December 31, 2004.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes"
(hereinafter "SFAS No. 109"). This statement requires the recognition of
deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future consequences of events that
have been recognized in the Company's consolidated financial statement or tax
returns. Measurement of the deferred items is based on enacted tax laws. In the
event the future consequences of differences between financial reporting bases
and tax bases of the Company's assets and liabilities results in a deferred tax
asset, SFAS No. 109 requires an evaluation of the probability of being able to
realize the future benefits indicated by such an asset. A valuation allowance
related to a deferred tax asset is recorded when it is more likely than not that
some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. (See Note
10.)
F-29
Inventories
The Company records inventories at the lower of cost or market on a first-in,
first-out basis.
Long-lived Assets
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144,
"Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets". This standard
establishes a single accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of by
sale, including discontinued operations, and requires that these long-lived
assets be measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to
sell, whether reported in continuing operations or discontinued operations.
Accordingly, the Company reviews the carrying amount of long-lived assets for
impairment where events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
amount may not be recoverable. The determination of any impairment would include
a comparison of estimated future cash flows anticipated to be generated during
the remaining life of the assets to the net carrying value of the assets. For
the years ended December 31, 2005 and, December 31, 2004, no impairments have
been identified
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation of property and
equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful
lives of the assets, which range from three to seven years. (See Note 4.)
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant transactions and balances among
the companies included in the consolidated financial statements have been
eliminated.
Revenue Recognition
The Company is in the business of selling nutritional products in two
categories: dietary supplements and personal care products. Sales of personal
care products represent less than 5% of the overall revenue and therefore are
not classified separately in the financial statements. The Company recognized
revenue from product sales when the products are shipped and title passes to
customer. Administrative fees charged to the Independent Business Associates are
included in the gross sales and amounted $128,967 and $190,340 for the year
ended December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004 respectively.
Segment Information
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131,
"Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,"
(hereafter "SFAS No. 131") which supersedes SFAS No. 14, "Financial Reporting
for Segments of a Business Enterprise," replacing the "industry segment"
approach with the "management" approach. The management approach designates the
internal organization that is used by management for making operating decisions
and assessing performance as the source of the Company's reportable segments.
SFAS No. 131 also requires disclosures about products and services, geographic
areas and major customers. The adoption of SFAS No. 131 did not affect the
Company's results of operations or financial position. (See Note 14.)
Stock Options and Warrants Granted to Employees and Non-Employees
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation" ("SFAS No. 123"), defines a fair value-based method of accounting
for stock options and other equity instruments. The Company has adopted this
method, which measures compensation costs based on the estimated fair value of
the award and recognizes that cost over the service period.
Going Concern
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company had negative
working capital of approximately $1,965,000 and an accumulated deficit incurred
through December 31, 2005. The Company also has limited cash resources and a
history of recurring losses. These factors raise substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do
not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of
recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be
necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.
F-30
Management has established plans designed to increase the sales of the Company's
products, and decrease debt. The Company plans on continuing to reduce expenses,
and with small gains in any combination of network sales, direct sales,
international sales, and warehouse sales, believe that they will eventually be
able to reverse the present deficit. Management intends to seek additional
capital from new equity securities offerings that will provide funds needed to
increase liquidity, fund internal growth and fully implement its business plan.
Management plans include negotiations to convert significant portions of
existing debt into equity.
The timing and amount of capital requirements will depend on a number of
factors, including demand for products and services and the availability of
opportunities for international expansion through affiliations and other
business relationships.
NOTE 3 - ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND CREDIT RISK
Accounts receivable at December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004 consist primarily
of amounts due from direct retail clients of EYI.
NOTE 4 - PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Capital assets are recorded at cost. Depreciation is calculated using the
straight line method over three to seven years. The following is a summary of
property, equipment and accumulated depreciation at December 31, 2005 and

NOTE 5 - CONVERTIBLE LOANS PAYABLE
On June 22, 2004, the Company issued to Cornell Capital Partners, LP a 5%
secured convertible debenture in the principal amount of $250,000 with a term of
two years, and interest at 5%. The debenture was convertible into the Company's
common stock at a price per share equal to the lessor of (a) 120% of the closing
bid price by the second anniversary date of issuance or (b) 100% of the lowest
daily volume weighted average price for the 30 days immediately prior to
conversion. On June 24, 2004, the Company received the $250,000 loan less
related expenses of approximately $65,000 which was allocated as discount on
debt. The convertible securities were guaranteed by the assets of the Company.
Under the agreement, the Company was required to keep available common stock
duly authorized for issuance in satisfaction of the convertible. The conversion
amount will be the face amount of the convertible plus interest at the rate of
5% per annum from the closing date of June 24, 2004 to the conversion date. On
August 3, 2005, the Company retired the debenture plus a 20% premium of $50,000
by using the cash proceeds of a promissory note between the Company and Cornell
Capital signed on August 2, 2005.
F-31
On September 24, 2004, the Company issued to Cornell Capital Partners, LP
("Cornell") a 5% secured convertible debenture in the principal amount of
$250,000 with a term of two years, and interest at 5%. The debenture is
convertible into the Company's common stock at a price per share equal to the
lessor of (a) 120% of the closing bid price by the second anniversary date of
issuance or (b) 100% of the lowest daily volume weighted average price for the
30 days immediately prior to conversion. On September 27, 2004, the Company
re-assigned $245,000 of this debenture to Taib Bank, E.C. and reassigned $5,000
of the debenture B to an individual. Under the debenture agreement, the
Company's failure to issue unrestricted, freely tradable common stock to Cornell
or Taib Bank or the individual upon conversion after the registration statement
filed pursuant to this transaction has been declared effective would be
considered an event of default, thereby entitling Cornell to accelerate full
repayment of the convertible securities then outstanding. Under the agreement,
the Company was required to maintain available common stock duly authorized for
issuance in satisfaction of the convertible. One September 24, 2004 the Company
received the $250,000 loan less related expenses of approximately $55,000. The
convertible securities were guaranteed by the assets of the Company. Under the
agreement, the Company was required to keep available common stock duly
authorized for issuance in satisfaction of the convertible. The conversion
amount was the face amount of the convertible plus interest at the rate of 5%
per annum from the closing date of September, 2004 to the conversion date On
August 15, 2005, the Company retired $75,000 of the Taib Bank, E.C. debenture by
converting 2,027,027 common shares. On August 16, 2005, the Company retired
$170,000 of the Taib Bank, E.C. debenture plus $10,830 in interest by converting
4,487,096 common shares. On September 12, 2005, the Company retired $5,000 of
the remaining debenture plus $14,245 in interest by converting 375,146 common
shares valued at $0.0513.
The convertible debentures contained a beneficial conversion feature computed at
its intrinsic value that was the difference between the conversion price and the
fair value on the debenture issuance date of the common stock into which the
debt was convertible, multiplied by the number of shares into which the debt was
convertible at the commitment date. Since the beneficial conversion feature was
to be settled by issuing equity, the amount attributed to the beneficial
conversion feature, or $250,000, was recorded as an interest expense and a
component of stockholders' equity on the balance sheet date.
Standby Equity Distribution Agreement
In June, 2004, the Company entered into a standby equity distribution agreement
with Cornell Capital Partners, LP ("Cornell"). Pursuant to this agreement,
Cornell agreed to purchase up to $10,000,000 of the Company's common stock
through a placement agent over a two-year period after the effective
registration of the shares. In addition, the Company issued 1,300,000 shares of
its common stock to Cornell and the placement agent upon the inception of the
standby equity distribution agreement. The $390,000 value of these shares was
recognized as a period expense due to the fact that the 1,300,000 shares have

During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company issued 40,874,047 common
shares to Cornell Capital in exchange for $1,700,000. These transactions
resulted in a beneficial conversion feature computed at its intrinsic value that
was the difference between the conversion price and the fair value on the
issuance date of the common stock. The amount attributed to the beneficial
conversion feature, or $422,096, was recorded as a financing expense and a
component of stockholders' equity on the balance sheet.

NOTE 9 - COMMON STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation" (hereinafter "SFAS No. 123"), defines a fair value-based method of
accounting for stock options and other equity instruments. The Company has
adopted this method, which measures compensation costs based on the estimated
fair value of the award and recognizes that cost over the service period.
In accordance with SFAS No. 123, the fair value of stock options and warrants
granted are estimated using the Black-Scholes Option Price Calculation. The
following assumptions were made to value the stock options and warrants for the
period ended December 31, 2005: estimated risk-free interest rate of 4%; no
dividends to be paid; estimated volatility of 144%, and term of two years.
Warrants
During the quarter ended June 30, 2005, the Company sold 1,000,000 common shares
through a private placement. In addition, the purchaser of the shares receive
warrants to purchase three additional shares of common stock for each share
purchased, exercisable at $0.02 per share for a period of two years.
Stock Options
During the period ending December 31, 2004, the Company's board of directors
approved the Stock Compensation Program to allow up to 25,000,000 shares of
stock to be issued under the program. This plan enables the Company to grant
stock options to directors, officers, employees and eligible consultants of the
Company. There was no Company stock option plan in effect prior to 2004.
During the period ended December 31, 2005, the Company granted stock options to
purchase a total of 7,390,000 shares of common stock to its employees,
directors, and consultants. The options were granted from $0.02 to $0.10 per
share. The Company recognized an expense to services and consulting of $564,140

NOTE 11 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Purchase Agreement On June 30, 2002, the Company entered into a distribution and
license agreement with a company in which one of the Company's directors has an
ownership interest. The agreement gives the Company the exclusive right to
market, sell and distribute certain products for a five-year renewable term.
Management estimates that 87% of the Company's sales volume results from
products supplied under this licensing agreement.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2004, the Company negotiated the lowering of
the purchasing threshold, and pursuant to the agreement, the Company is required
to purchase the following amounts of product during the term of the agreement:
From June 1, 2004 to May 31, 2005 $3,964,000
For each year thereafter, during the term of this agreement, the Company is
obligated to purchase a minimum amount of $5,549,000 of product.
In the event that the Company is unable to meet the minimum purchase
requirements of the licensing agreement or the terms requiring it to pay 15% of
the difference between the minimum purchase amount referred to above and actual
purchases for that year in which there is a shortfall, then the licensor has
various remedies available to it including renegotiating the agreement, removing
exclusivity rights, or terminating the agreement.
As of the date of these financial statements, the purchase requirements have not
been made. The period for which the License could request payment per the
penalty clause has expired for the year and therefore we have not made any
accrual to the financial statements. As well we continue to purchase Nutri Diem
products.
Lease Payments
The Company has operating lease commitments for its premises, office equipment
and an automobile. The minimum annual lease commitments are as follows:
Year ended December 31, Minimum Amount

provided however, it is understood and agreed that such services will primarily

safety, related reasons. In addition to the potential risk of adverse regulatory
actions, the Company is subject to the risk of potential product liability

Promissory Note
On August 1, 2005, the Company entered into a promissory note with Cornell
Capital Partners, LP for the principal sum of one Million (U.S.) dollars
($1,000,000) and payable in thirteen weekly installments beginning September 23,
2005 and ending on December 16, 2005. Interest on this note is twelve percent
(12%) per annum. The Company agreed to repay this loan by issuing common stock
pursuant to the terms of the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement (Note 5).
Secured Promissory Note
On February 24, 2005 the Company received a loan of $200,000 from Cornell
secured by a secured promissory note. Under the terms of the secured promissory
note, the loan is payable by April 24, 2005 and accrues interest at a rate of
12% per annum. In connection with the issuance of the secured note, the Company
agreed to: (i) pay Cornell a fee of $20,000; and (ii) pay Yorkville Advisors
Management LLC a structuring fee in the amount of $2,500. As a condition to
Cornell's entry into the Secured Note on February 24, 2005, an employee of EYI,
Janet Carpenter, entered into a guaranty agreement with Cornell and a pledge and
escrow agreement with Cornell and David Gonzalez. Pursuant to the terms of the
guaranty agreement and the pledge and escrow agreement, Ms. Carpenter agreed to:
(i) personally guarantee the payment and performance obligations of EYI under
the Secured Note; and (ii) pledge to Cornell 3,000,000 shares of EYI held by her
to secure the obligations of EYI under the Secured Note. In consideration of Ms.
Carpenter providing the guarantee and pledge, EYI entered into a bonus shares
agreement dated February 14, 2005 with Ms. Carpenter, pursuant to which we
agreed to issue to Ms. Carpenter 800,000 shares of our common stock at a deemed
price of $0.05 per share. The shares are to be issued to Ms. Carpenter pursuant

common stock through a placement agent. The Company issued 1,300,000 shares of
its common stock to Cornell and the placement agent upon the inception of this
agreement. The $390,000 value of these shares was based on the fair market value
of the shares on the date of the contract and is recognized as a period expense
due to the fact that the 1,300,000 shares have been deemed to be fully earned as
of the date of the agreement. (See Note 8.)
On May 13, 2005 the Company entered into a Standby Equity Distribution Agreement
with Cornell Capital Partners, LP ("Cornell") pursuant to which we entered into
the following agreements: a Registration Rights Agreement, an Escrow Agreement,
and a Placement Agent Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the new Standby Equity
Distribution Agreement, we may, at our discretion, periodically issue and sell
shares of our common stock for a total purchase price of $10 million. If we
request advances under the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement, Cornell will
purchase shares of our common stock for 98% of the lowest volume weighted
average price on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board or other principal market
on which our common stock is traded for the 5 days immediately following the
advance notice date. Cornell will retain 5% of each advance under the new
Standby Equity Distribution Agreement. We may not request advances in excess of
a total of $10 million. Pursuant to the terms of our Registration Rights
Agreement and the Standby Equity Agreement with Cornell, we agreed to register
and qualify, among other things, the additional shares due to Cornell under the
Standby Equity Agreement under a registration statement filed with the SEC. We
signed a Termination Agreement on May 13, 2005, for the purpose of terminating
our Standby Equity Distribution Agreement, Registration Rights Agreement and
Escrow Agreement previously entered into with Cornell on June 22, 2004.On April

convertible debenture issued to Cornell Capital Partners, L.P. ("Cornell") in
the amount of $245,000, and a two year 5% convertible debenture in the amount of
$5,000 held by Kent Chou, in consideration of which we agreed not to modify or
renegotiate the terms of our Standby Equity Distribution Agreement ("SEDA") with
Cornell, and to use any proceeds obtained by EYI under the SEDA to make payments
on the debentures. The debentures were assigned to TAIB on April 4, 2005.
Reseller Agreement

handling fees for any client EYII brings to Source One. The agreement is for a

Distribution LLC ("Halo"), our wholly owned subsidiary.
On September 1, 2005, EYI entered into an agreement for legal services with M.
Ali Lakhani Personal Corporation (the "Contractor") to provide EYI and its

$8,000 and a one time issuance of 500,000 restricted share of our common stock

Agora Investor Relations Corp ("AGORA"). Pursuant to the terms of the agreement

and is renewable at EYI's option for an additional term of 12 months under the
same terms and conditions. This agreement was amended on October 5, 2005 at

restricted shares of our common stock. The issuance of these shares are
reflected in the accompanying financial statements.
Escrow Fund

distribution agreement dated June 22, 2004, and the Promissory Note dated August
1, 2005, the Company allocated fifty-one million two hundred thousand
(51,200,000) shares of the Company's common stock into escrow.
Other Matters
The Company's predecessor organization, Essentially Yours Industries Corp.
("EYIC"), a British Columbia corporation, has outstanding claims from the
Internal Revenue Service for penalties and interest of approximately $2,000,000.
Furthermore, one or more states may have claims against EYIC for unpaid state
income taxes. Management believes that these claims are limited solely to EYIC
and that any prospective unpaid tax claims against the Company are remote and
unable to be estimated.

On June 22, 2004, we entered into a secured convertible debenture
transaction with Cornell Capital Partners in the principal amount of $500,000.
The sale of these Secured Convertible Debentures is complete. EYI Industries
received $250,000 from the issuance of the first Secured Convertible Debenture
on June 22, 2004, and we received $250,000 five business days following the
filing of the accompanying registration statement. The Secured Convertible
Debentures are convertible at the holder's option any time up to maturity at a
conversion price equal to the lower of (i) 120% of the closing bid price of the
common stock as of the date of issuance, or (ii) 80% of the average of the
lowest daily volume weighted average price of our common stock for the 5 trading
days immediately preceding the conversion date. At maturity, the remaining
unpaid principal and accrued interest under the debentures shall be, at our
option, either paid or converted into shares of common stock at a conversion
price equal to the lower of (i) 120% of the closing bid price of the common
stock as of the date of issuance or (ii) 80% of the lowest closing bid price of
the common stock for the lowest trading days of the 5 trading days immediately

all of EYI Industries' assets. The Secured Convertible Debentures accrue
interest at a rate of 5% per year and have a term of 3 years. In the event the
Secured Convertible Debentures are redeemed, then EYI Industries will issue to
the holders a warrant to purchase 50,000 shares for every $100,000 redeemed at
an exercise price of 120% of the closing bid price as of June 22, 2004. The
holders purchased the Secured Convertible Debentures from EYI Industries in a

decisions of Taib Bank E.C. are made by Larry Chaleff, its Managing Director. In

With respect to the sale of unregistered securities referenced above, all
transactions were exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the
Securities Act of 1933 (the "1933 Act"), and Regulation D promulgated under the
1933 Act. In each instance, the purchaser had access to sufficient information
regarding EYI so as to make an informed investment decision. More specifically,
EYI had a reasonable basis to believe that each purchaser was an "accredited
investor" as defined in Regulation D of the 1933 Act and otherwise had the
requisite sophistication to make an investment in EYI's common stock.

(1) To file, during any period in which it offers or sells securities, a
post-effective amendment to this registration statement to:
(i) Include any prospectus required by Sections 10(a) (3) of the
Securities Act of 1933 (the "ACT");
(ii) Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the
effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective
amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a
fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities
offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that
which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the
estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus
filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the
changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the
maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration
Fee" table in the effective Registration Statement;
(iii) Include any additional or changed material information on the plan
of distribution;
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Act, each
such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any
of the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering. Insofar as
indemnification for liabilities arising under the Act may be permitted to
directors, officers and controlling persons of the small business issuer
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the small business issuer
has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the small business issuer of
expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the
small business issuer in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the small business issuer will,
unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
