In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Medifast, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the consolidated results of their operations and their consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements. F-7 MEDIFAST, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2005, 2004, AND 2003 NOTE A - BUSINESS Medifast, Inc. (the "Company", or "Medifast") is a Delaware corporation, incorporated in 1980. The Company's operations are primarily conducted through five of its wholly owned subsidiaries, Jason Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Jason"), Take Shape for Life, Inc. ("TSFL"), Jason Enterprises, Inc., Jason Properties, LLC and Seven Crondall, LLC. The Company is engaged in the production, distribution, and sale of weight management and disease management products and other consumable health and diet products. Medifast, Inc.'s product lines include weight and disease management, meal replacement and sports nutrition products manufactured in a modern, FDA approved facility in Owings Mills, Maryland. The Company is engaged in the manufacturing and distribution of Medifast(R) and Hi-Energy(R) branded and private label weight and disease management products. These products are sold through various channels of distribution, to include web, call center, independent health advisors, medical professionals, weight loss clinics, direct consumer marketing supported via the phone and the web. The processing, formulation, packaging, labeling and advertising of the Company's 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, and the United States Environmental Protection Agency. NOTE B - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are as follows: [1] PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Jason Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Take Shape For Life, Inc., Seven Crondall Associates, LLC, Jason Properties, LLC and Jason Enterprises, Inc. All inter-company accounts have been eliminated. [2] CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS: For the purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flow, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2005, the Company had $789,000 in a money market account, $365,000 in miscellaneous short-term investments through Merrill Lynch that are considered cash equivalents due to terms of maturity, and $330,000 in operating checking accounts. At December 31, 2004, the Company had invested in four $100,000 certificates of deposit, of which three were considered cash equivalents. In 2005, all certificates of deposit matured and were rolled into a money market account. F-8 MEDIFAST, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2005, 2004, AND 2003 NOTE B - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) [3] ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBFUL ACCOUNTS Accounts receivable are recorded net of reserves for sales returns and allowances, and net of provisions for doubtful accounts. Allowances for sales returns and discounts are based on an analysis of historical trends, and allowances for doubtful accounts are based primarily on an analysis of aging accounts receivable balances and on the creditworthiness of the customer as determined by credit checks and analysis, as well as the customer's payment history. [4] INVENTORY: Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market, utilizing the first-in, first-out method. The cost of finished goods includes the cost of raw materials, packaging supplies, direct and indirect labor and other indirect manufacturing costs. [5] ADVERTISING: Advertising costs such as preparation, layout, design and production of advertising are deferred. They are expensed when the advertisement is first used, except for the costs of executory contracts, which are amortized as performance under the contract is received. Advertising costs deferred at December 31, 2005 and 2004, were $585,000 and $478,000 respectively. Advertising expense for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 amounted to $3,784,000 and $1,055,000, respectively. [6] PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT: Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. The Company computes depreciation and amortization using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets acquired as follows: Building and building improvements 39 years Equipment and fixtures 3 - 15 years Vehicles 5 years The carrying amount of all long-lived assets is evaluated periodically to determine whether adjustment to the useful life or to the unamortized balance is warranted. Such evaluation is based principally on the expected utilization of the long-lived assets and the projected undiscounted cash flows of the operations in which the long-lived assets are used. F-9 MEDIFAST, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2005, 2004, AND 2003 NOTE B - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) [7] INCOME TAXES: The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes and liabilities are computed annually for differences between the financial statement and the tax basis of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. [8] EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE: Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net profit attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the year. Basic earnings per share exclude any dilutive effects of options, warrants and other stock-based compensation, which are included in diluted earnings per share. [9] REVENUE: Revenue is recognized for product sales upon shipment and passing of risk to the customer and when estimates of discounts, rebates, promotional adjustments, price adjustments, returns, and other potential adjustments are reasonably determinable, collection is reasonably assured and the Company has no further performance obligations. These estimates are presented in the financial statements as reductions to net revenues and accounts receivable. Estimated sales returns, allowances and discounts are provided for. Outbound shipping charges to customers and outbound shipping-related costs are netted and included in "cost of sales." Returns - Consistent with industry practice, the Company maintains a return policy that allows its customers to return product within a specified period (30 days). Because the period of payment generally approximates the period revenue was originally recognized, refunds are recorded as a reduction of revenue when paid. The Company's estimate for returns is based upon its historical experience with actual returns. While such experience has allowed for reasonable estimation in the past, history may not always be an accurate indicator of future returns. The Company continually monitors its estimates for returns and makes adjustments when it believes that actual product returns may differ from the established accruals. F-10 MEDIFAST, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2005, 2004, AND 2003 NOTE B - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) [10] ESTIMATES: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires 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 could differ from those estimates. [11] FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS: The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash, certificates of deposit, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of the financial instruments. The Company believes that its indebtedness approximates fair value based on current yields for debt instruments with similar terms. [12] CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK: Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist of cash, certificates of deposit, investment securities and trade receivables. Cash, money markets and investments exceed the federal insurance coverage by $2,248,000 and $3,525,000, respectively. The Company securities at December 31, 2005 and 2004, include amounts deposited with multiple financial institutions markets its products primarily to medical professionals, clinics, and Internet medical sales and has no substantial concentrations of credit risk in its trade receivables. As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company had two customers that individually represented over 10% of the accounts receivable and in the aggregate, approximately 36% and 49% of the accounts receivable, respectively. [13] STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION: The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123"). The provisions of SFAS 123 allow companies to either expense the estimated value of stock options or to continue to follow the intrinsic value method set forth in Accounting Principles Bulletin Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25"), but disclose the pro forma effects on net income (loss) had the fair value of the options been expensed. The Company has elected to continue to apply APB 25 in accounting for its employee stock option incentive plans. Under APB 25, where the exercise price of the Company's employee stock options equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation is recognized. F-11 MEDIFAST, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2005, 2004, AND 2003 NOTE B - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) STOCK OPTION PLAN On October 9, 1993 and as amended in May 1995, the Company adopted a stock option plan ("Plan") authorizing the grant of incentive and nonincentive options for an aggregate of 500,000 shares of the Company's common stock to officers, employees, directors and consultants. Incentive options are to be granted at fair market value. Options are to be exercisable as determined by the stock option committee. In November 1997, June 2002 and July 2004, the Company amended the Plan by increasing the number of shares of the Company's common stock subject to the Plan by an aggregate of 200,000 shares, 300,000 shares and 250,000 shares respectively. The Company has elected to continue to account for stock option grants in accordance with APB 25 and related interpretations. Under APB 25, where the exercise price of the Company's employee stock options equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation is recognized. If compensation expense for the Company's stock-based compensation plans had been determined consistent with SFAS 123, the Company's net income and net income per share including pro forma results would have been the amounts indicated below:

For the purpose of the above table, the fair value of each option granted is estimated as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: 2005 2004 2003 ---- ---- ---- Dividend yield ............. 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% Expected volatility ........ 0.70 0.40 0.40 Risk-free interest rate..... 4.50% 4.50% 3% - 5% Expected life in years...... 1-5 1-5 1-5 The weighted average fair value at date of grant for options granted during the years 2005, 2004, and 2003 were $2.64, $8.60, and 5.32, respectively, using the above assumptions.

F-14 MEDIFAST, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2005, 2004, AND 2003 NOTE B - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) [15] RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In December 2004, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004) (FAS 123R), "Share-Based Payment, " FAS 123R replaces FAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." FAS 123R requires compensation expense, measured as the fair value at the grant date, related to share-based payment transactions to be recognized in the financial statements over the period that an employee provides service in exchange for the award. The Company intends to adopt FAS 123R using the "modified prospective" transition method as defined in FAS 123R. Under the modified prospective method, companies are required to record compensation cost prospectively for the unvested portion, as of the date of adoption, of previously issued and outstanding awards over the remaining vesting period of such awards. FAS 123R is effective January 1, 2006. The Company is evaluating the impact of FAS 123R on the Company's results and financial position. In November 2004, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standards No. 151 (FAS 151), "Inventory Costs - an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4". FAS 151 clarifies the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and spoilage. In addition, FAS 151 requires companies to base the allocation of fixed production overhead to the costs of conversion on the normal capacity of production facilities. FAS 151 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. FAS 151 did not have a material impact on its results or financial statements. [16] INVESTMENTS In accordance with FAS No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities", securities are classified into three categories: held-to-maturity, available-for-sale and trading. The Company's investments consist of debt and equity securities classified as available-for-sale securities. Accordingly, they are carried at fair value in accordance with FAS No. 115. Further, according to FAS No. 115 the unrealized holding gains and losses for available-for-sales securities are excluded from earnings and reported, net of deferred income taxes, as a separate component of stockholders' equity, unless the loss is classified as other than a temporary decline in market value. [17] GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". This statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for acquired goodwill and other intangible assets and supersedes APB Opinion No. 17, "Intangible Assets". It addresses how intangible assets that are acquired individually or with a group of other assets (but not those acquired in a business combination) should be accounted for in financial statements upon their acquisition. This Statement also addresses how goodwill and other intangible assets should be accounted F-15 MEDIFAST, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2005, 2004, AND 2003 NOTE B - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) for after they have been initially recognized in the financial statements. The Company, in its acquisitions, recognized $893,850 of goodwill. The Company performs its annual impairment test for goodwill at year-end. As of December 31, 2005, the Company has determined that there is no impairment of its goodwill. In addition, the Company has acquired other intangible assets, which include: customer lists, non-compete agreements, trademarks and patents. The non-compete agreements are being amortized over the legal life of the agreements ranging between 3 to 7 years. The customer lists are being amortized over a period ranging between 5 to 10 years based on management's best estimate of the expected benefits to be consumed or otherwise used up. Trademarks and patents are regularly reviewed to determine whether the facts and circumstances exist to indicate that the useful life is shorter than originally estimated or the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. The Company assesses the recoverability of its trademarks and patents by comparing the projected discounted net cash flows associated with the related asset, over their remaining lives, in comparison to their respective carrying amounts. Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of those assets. [18] COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS) Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources, including unrealized gains and losses on marketable securities. The Company presents comprehensive income in its consolidated statements of stockholders equity. [19] RECLASSIFICATIONS Certain amounts for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 have been reclassified to conform to the presentation of the December 31, 2005 amounts. The reclassifications have no effect on net income for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003.

AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2005, 2004, AND 2003 NOTE K - EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS The CEO of Medifast, Inc., Bradley T. MacDonald, has a two-year employment agreement for an aggregate annual base salary of $225,000 with a bonus potential of 50% of base salary provided the Company makes its profit plan per the Board approved forecast. This contract has been extended to December 31, 2007. Due to the inequities of funding a retirement plan in the 401K, and in recognition of the performance responsible for the turnaround of the Company, the Board of Directors approved a Selective Executive Retirement Compensation Plan funded by the form of deferred compensation. The Deferred Compensation Plan will be funded up to $350,000 by a dollar for dollar match program, having Mr. MacDonald defer $175,000, followed by a Company match of $175,000. In June 2004, the Board of Directors authorized an additional $50,000 to be deferred by Mr. MacDonald followed by a Company match of $50,000. In 2005, the Board of Directors approved the funding of $100,000 into Mr. MacDonald's Selective Executive Retirement Compensation Plan. This brought the Selective Executive Retirement Compensation Plan total funded value to $550,000. Beginning January 1, 2006 the agreement was modified whereby the deferred compensation will be earned over a 5-year vesting period due January 1, 2011. Mr. MacDonald exercised 13,333 options at $2.67 in July of 2005 and executed 2,000 warrants at $.35 in March 2005. NOTE L - REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK In August 1996, the Company sold 432,500 shares of Series "A" nonvoting preferred stock that generated gross proceeds of $865,000, or $2.00 per share. Each share was entitled to a dividend of 8% ($.16) per share. The shares were convertible into the Company's common stock on the basis of one share of common stock for each share of convertible preferred stock.

F-27 PART I ITEM 1. BUSINESS. SUMMARY Medifast, Inc. (the "Company", or "Medifast") is a Delaware corporation, incorporated in 1980. The Company's operations are primarily conducted through five of its wholly owned subsidiaries, Jason Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Jason"), Take Shape for Life, Inc. ("TSFL"), Jason Enterprises, Inc., Jason Properties, LLC and Seven Crondall, LLC. The Company is engaged in the production, distribution, and sale of weight management and disease management products and other consumable health and diet products. Medifast, Inc.'s product lines include weight and disease management, meal replacement and sports nutrition products manufactured in a modern, FDA approved facility in Owings Mills, Maryland. MARKETS Over the past 20 years the obesity rates in the United States have increased dramatically. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) estimate that 64% of the U.S. adult population is overweight, and 30% of these individuals (60 million) are obese which is defined as having a Body Mass Index >30. The amount of overweight adolescents and children ages 6-19 years have more than tripled since 1980. Currently, the CDC estimates that over 30% of adolescents and children are overweight. The CDC estimates that in the U.S. the associated costs with overweight and obesity reached $117 billion in 2000. The most common health problems associated with obesity are type II diabetes, coronary heart disease, hypertension and stroke, depression and certain forms of cancer. It's also estimated that poor nutrition and physical inactivity account for more than 300,000 premature deaths per year in the U.S. A 2003 market research study concluded consumers spend about $39 billion per year trying to lose weight or prevent weight gain. This includes consumer spending on diet foods, medically supervised and commercial weight loss programs, diet books, appetite suppressants, fitness clubs, diet sodas, and videos and cassettes. DISTRIBUTION CHANNELS THE MEDIFAST LIFESTYLES PROGRAM- The Medifast Lifestyles Program is a medically supported network of health care professionals who support patients on the Medifast program. Patients order products directly from Medifast's website or toll-free number. The Lifestyles medical practitioner ensures that each patient receives personalized attention throughout the weight loss program. Management estimates that more than 15,000 physicians nationwide have prescribed Medifast as a treatment for their overweight patients since 1980, and over an estimated 1 million patients have used its' products to lose and maintain their weight. Direct-to-consumer sales represent approximately 45% of Medifast, Inc.'s total sales. The Company maintains an in-house Lifestyles support program for customers who have a Medifast physician who does not have the time to provide counseling support. The Company also offers an additional in-house support program to assist customers that are consulting their primary care physician. Customers have access to qualified nutritional counselors for program support and advice via a toll free telephone help line or by e-mail. 3 TAKE SHAPE FOR LIFE(TM) - Take Shape for Life is a physician led network of independent health coaches who are specifically trained to provide emotional support and are conduits to give clients the strategies and skills to successfully reach a healthy weight and then provide a road map to empower the individual to take control of their health. Take Shape for Life is a support program that moves beyond the scope of weight loss to show customers how to achieve optimal health through the balance of body, mind, and finances. Take Shape for Life uses the high quality, medically validated products of Medifast as the platform to launch an integrity based lifelong health optimization program. Program entrants are encouraged to consult with their primary care physician and a Take Shape for Life Health Advisor to determine the Medifast program that is right for them. Physician directed Health Advisors are supported, educated and qualified by The Health Institute, a training group staffed by Medifast professionals. Health Advisors obtain Medifast qualification based upon testing of their knowledge on Medifast products and programs. Take Shape for Life accounts for approximately 35% of Medifast, Inc.'s total sales. MEDIFAST PHYSICIANS AND CLINICS - Many Medifast physicians have chosen to implement the Medifast program within their practice. These physicians carry an inventory of Medifast products and resell them to patients. They also provide appropriate testing, medical support and evaluations for patients on the program. Physicians can also direct their patients to order directly from Medifast, if they do not have space to stock inventory. Physician sales account for approximately 10% of Medifast, Inc.'s total sales. HI-ENERGY WEIGHT CONTROL CENTERS - In 2003, the Company acquired Hi-Energy Weight Control Centers, a national company specializing in weight management programs, with weight loss centers in over 50 locations. Hi-Energy Weight Control Centers offer a competitive marketing edge through a regional advertising program, exclusive territories and marketing support. The Company continues to seek out qualified licensees to add to its growing number of weight control clinics nationwide. Additionally, the Company is operating 11 corporately owned clinics that serve as models to attract qualified licensees. Hi-Energy clinics account for approximately 7% of Medifast, Inc.'s total sales. THE MEDIFAST(R) BRAND Medifast is a medically supervised weight management program, which specializes in multidisciplinary patient education programs using the highest quality meal replacement supplements. In recent years Medifast's core products and programs have continued to expand over a wellness spectrum to include health management products. Medifast offers products specially formulated for diabetics as well as products for women's health, joint health and coronary health. In 2003, Medifast began a two-year study with The Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health to evaluate the efficacy of its Medifast Plus for Diabetics compared to basic nutrition recommendations by the American Diabetes Association (ADA). Final results showed that participants using Medifast Plus for Diabetics lost twice as much weight and were twice as able to stay on the program as those following the ADA's guidelines. Additionally, two-thirds of those on the Medifast program lost at least 5% of their weight, which is a standard measure of the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) threshold to indicate clinically significant weight loss, versus one-quarter of those on the ADA diet. In addition to weight loss, the initial study results indicate that Medifast participants sustained an average 9% decrease in blood fasting glucose and an average 19% decrease in insulin levels. 4 Many Medifast Plus for Diabetics products have earned the coveted Seal of Approval from the Glycemic Research Institute. The line, designated as Low Glycemic, does not overly stimulate blood glucose and insulin and does not stimulate fat-storing enzymes. Products included in the Medifast Plus for Diabetics line consist of three delicious patented shakes, home style chili, apple cinnamon, French vanilla berry oatmeal, maple and brown sugar oatmeal, creamy chicken soup, creamy broccoli soup, chicken noodle soup, minestrone soup and two snack bars. Most Medifast products qualify to make the FDA's heart healthy claim, "May Reduce the Risk of Heart Disease." In order to make this claim, a product must contain at least 6.25 grams of soy protein per serving and be low in fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol. Unlike popular fad diets and herbal supplements, Medifast products are a safe, nutritionally balanced choice, offering gender specific formulas containing high protein and low carbohydrates, a soy protein source rather than animal protein source, and vitamin and mineral fortification. It is very difficult to meet the minimum recommended nutritional requirements on a low-calorie diet, but a dieter can easily meet these requirements using the nutrient dense Medifast brand of meal replacement food supplements. Medically supervised, low calorie diets are continuing to gain popularity, as consumers search for a safe and effective solution that provides balanced nutrition, quick weight loss and valuable behavior modification education. In addition, consumers are becoming more aware of chronic diseases such as diabetes and coronary health. COMPETITION There are many different kinds of diet products and programs within the weight loss industry. These include a wide variety of commercial weight loss programs, pharmaceutical products, weight loss books, self-help diets, dietary supplements, appetite suppressants and meal replacement shakes and bars. The Company has proven it can compete in this competitive market because its products have been clinically tested and proven at Johns Hopkins University and have been safely and effectively used by customers for over 20 years. Medifast has been on the cutting edge of product development with soy based nutritional and weight management products since 1989. These products are formulated with high-quality, low-calorie, low-fat ingredients that provide alternatives to fad diets or medicinal weight loss remedies. The Medifast program has been recommended by physicians for more than 25 years and some Medifast practitioners choose to prescribe appetite suppression diet drugs to patients in conjunction with a Medifast based diet. Diet drug therapies such as those that suppress appetite usually require a restricted calorie diet in order to obtain desired results. Medifast is a dosage/portion controlled weight management solution that is effective in conjunction with drug therapy as prescribed by physicians working within the individual needs of their patients. The Medifast program alone is a mild ketogenic diet that naturally suppresses appetite and eliminates hunger without other therapies for most people. PRODUCTS The Company offers a variety of weight and disease management products under the Medifast(R) brand and for select private label customers. The Medifast line includes Medifast(R) 55, Medifast(R) 70, Medifast(R) Plus for Appetite Suppression, Medifast(R) Plus for Diabetics, Medifast(R) Plus for Joint Health, Medifast(R) Plus for Women's Health, Medifast(R) Plus for Coronary Health, Medifast(R) Fit!, Medifast(R) Take ShapeTM, Medifast(R) Supplement Bars, Medifast(R) Creamy Soups, Medifast(R) Minestrone Soup, Medifast(R) Hot Cocoa, Medifast(R) Oatmeals, Medifast(R) Pro Teas, Medifast(R) Chicken Noodle Soup, Medifast(R) Fast Soups, Medifast(R) Homestyle Chili and Medifast(R) Multigrain Crackers. 5 Medifast nutritional products are formulated with high-quality, low-calorie, low-fat ingredients. Many Medifast products are soy based and contain 24 vitamins and minerals, as well as other nutrients essential for good health. The Company uses DuPont Protein Technologies' Supro(R) brand soy protein, which is a high-quality complete protein derived from soybeans. Medifast brand awareness continues to expand through the Company's marketing campaigns, product development, line extensions, and the Company's emphasis on quality customer service, technical support and publications developed by the Company's marketing staff. Medifast products have been proven to be effective for weight and disease management in clinical studies conducted by the U.S. government and Johns Hopkins University. The Company has continued to develop its sales and marketing operations with qualified management and innovative programs. The Company's facility in Owings Mills, MD manufactures powders and a portion of its supplement bars and subcontracts the production of its Ready-to-Drink products and additional bars. NEW PRODUCTS The Company expanded the Medifast product line in 2005 by introducing Medifast(R) Banana Creme Shake, Medifast(R) Peach Oatmeal, Medifast(R) Beef Vegetable Stew, Medifast(R) Red Bell Pepper Italian dressing, and Medifast(R) Ranch dressing. Medifast also introduced a line of diabetic products that includes shakes and bars under the Medifast(R) Maintain line. MARKETING The Company continued to build and leverage its core Medifast brand through multiple marketing strategies to its target audiences. Print advertising, television, and radio were all used to target new customers by stressing Medifast's quick, easy and safe approach to weight management. Also, direct mail has been utilized to encourage and support existing customers. Online advertising began to be used in 2004 and it included keyword search, banner ads, affiliate programs, and targeted direct email campaigns. The online advertising has been supported by Medifast's well designed, user-friendly website, which provides a wealth of information and customer support for easy ordering functionality. SALES The Company's Sales division handles three primary areas: Physician and Clinic Sales-- The sales team is responsible for prospecting larger medical accounts, clinics, hospitals, and HMOs. During 2005, the sales team attended a number of medical professional trade shows, which expanded Medifast's penetration of the clinical business segment. Hi-Energy Weight Control Centers-- During 2005 Hi-Energy provided ongoing support to its licensees as well as to the Company's 11 corporately owned centers which opened at the end of 2004. This support included marketing materials, ads, on-site trainings, fitness programs, nutritional programs and clinical operation materials and forms. Employees attended professional trade shows, prospected new licensees, and partnered with area physicians to provide Hi-Energy programs and services to local hospitals and private practices. 6 Take Shape for Life-- Provides a sales force of independent Health Advisors who support patients and their primary care physicians with a defined support program. Take Shape for Life is a support program that moves beyond the scope of weight loss to show customers how to achieve optimal health through the balance of body, mind, and finances.. MANUFACTURING Jason Pharmaceuticals, Inc., the Company's wholly owned manufacturing subsidiary, produces over 80% of the Medifast products in a state-of-the-art food and pharmaceutical-grade facility in Owings Mills, Maryland. Management purchased the plant in July 2002 for $3.4 million. The manufacturing facility has the capacity for significant increases to its production output with minimal capital expenditures. Adding additional shifts, along with minor capital expenditures for machinery would enable the Company to produce enough products to generate over $200 million in sales. Manufacturing processes, product labeling, quality control and equipment are subject to regulations and inspections mandated by the Food & Drug Administration (FDA), the Maryland State Department of Health and Hygiene, and the Baltimore County Department of Health. The plant strictly adheres to all GMP practices and has maintained its status as an "OU" (Orthodox Union) kosher-approved facility since 1982. GOVERNMENTAL REGULATION HISTORY The formulation, processing, packaging, labeling and advertising of the Company's products are subject to regulation by several federal agencies, but principally by the Food and Drug Administration (the "FDA"). The Company must comply with the standards, labeling and packaging requirements imposed by the FDA for the marketing and sale of medical foods, vitamins, and nutritional products. Applicable regulations prevent the Company from representing in its literature and labeling that its products produce or create medicinal effects or possess drug-related characteristics. The FDA could, in certain circumstances, require the reformulation of certain products to meet new standards, require the recall or discontinuation of certain products not capable of reformulation, or require additional record keeping, expanded documentation of the properties of certain products, expanded or different labeling, and scientific substantiation. If the FDA believes the products are unapproved drugs or food additives, the FDA may initiate similar enforcement proceedings. Any or all such requirements could adversely affect the Company's operations and its financial condition. The FDA also requires "medical food" labeling to list the name and quantity of each ingredient and identify the product as a "weight management/modified fasting or fasting supplement" in the labeling. To the extent that sales of vitamins, diet, or nutritional supplements may constitute improper trade practices or endanger the safety of consumers, the operations of the Company may also be subject to the regulations and enforcement powers of the Federal Trade Commission ("FTC"), and the Consumer Product Safety Commission. The Company's activities are also regulated by various agencies of the states and localities in which the Company's products are sold. The Company's products are manufactured and packaged in accordance with customers' specifications and sold under their private labels both domestically and in foreign countries through independent distribution channels. 7 PRODUCT LIABILITY AND INSURANCE The Company, like other producers and distributors of ingested products, faces an inherent risk of exposure to product liability claims in the event that, among other things, the use of its products results in injury. The Company maintains insurance against product liability claims with respect to the products it manufactures. With respect to the retail and direct marketing distribution of products produced by others, the Company's principal form of insurance consists of arrangements with each of its suppliers of those products to name the Company as beneficiary on each of such vendor's product liability insurance policies. The Company does not buy products from suppliers who do not maintain such coverage. EMPLOYEES As of December 31, 2005, the Company employed 164 full-time and contracted employees, of whom 62 were engaged in manufacturing, warehouse management, and shipping, and 102 in marketing, administrative, call center and corporate support functions. None of the employees are subject to a collective bargaining agreement with the Company. ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY The Company owns a 49,000 square-foot facility in Owings Mills, Maryland, which contains its Corporate Headquarters and manufacturing plant. In 2003, the Company purchased a state-of-the-art 119,000 square-foot distribution facility in Ridgely, Maryland. The facility gives the Company the ability to distribute over $200 million of Medifast product sales per year. In 2004, the Company purchased a 3,000 square foot conference and training facility in Ocean City, Maryland. The facility will be used to conduct corporate training meetings, Board of Director Meetings and employee morale and wellness programs. The Company has 11 leases for its corporately owned Hi-Energy Weight Control clinics throughout Florida, Arkansas, Mississippi and Texas. The leases range in terms from one to five years. ITEM 3.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS This document contains forward-looking statements which may involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause Medifast, Inc. actual results and performance in future periods to be materially different from any future results or performance suggested by these statements. Medifast, Inc. cautions investors not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only to management's expectations on this date. 2005 COMPARISON WITH 2004 OPERATING Consolidated net sales for 2005 were $40,129,000 as compared to 2004 sales of $27,340,000, an increase of $12,789,000, or 47%. A major reason for the revenue increase for the Company is attributed to the continued success of direct sales to consumers as well as the expansion of the Take Shape for Life division. The increase in direct sales was attributed to an expanded direct marketing campaign via print, mail, web and television to drive customers to the call center and website. Through the effectiveness of our online ads and improved web branding a higher percentage of customers ordered on the Company's website in 2005. In addition, the company expanded it remarketing campaign to drive new customers to the call center and website. The Take Shape for Life division added a Take Shape for Life replicating website option for Health Advisors, an Internet distribution program for their customers, and provided health advisors with additional sponsoring tools to make training and recruiting easier. These have proven to be effective at generating revenues and recruiting Health Advisors into the Take Shape for Life Network. The increased training and recruitment initiatives in 2005 have resulted in the expansion of the sales network into additional locations as well as growth in current locations. 12 Cost of sales increased from 6,746,000 in 2004 to $10,161,000 in 2005, an increase of $3,415,000. As a percentage of sales, cost of goods sold increased slightly due to increased fuel charges charged by the major shipping companies. Gross margin was 75% at December 31, 2005 and 2004. Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses of $25,894,000 for 2005 were $8,304,000 more than the $17,590,000 in 2004, due to increased costs associated with the increased scale of the business. The company increased its advertising expense to include additional print and web advertising as well as strategic testing of television advertising. In 2005, Company experienced income from operations of $4,074,000. This compares with income from operations of $3,004,000 in 2004, an increase of 36%. The increase in income is primarily due to higher gross profit from increased revenue offset by higher general and administrative expenses. In 2005, the Company realized a tax expense of $1,203,000, as compared to a tax expense of $1,159,000 in 2004. The slight increase in tax expense despite the increase in sales is due to timing differences between book and tax purposes for intangible assets, and other temporary and permanent differences. Interest expense increased to $317,000 in 2005, as compared to $245,000 in 2004. This increase was due to a full year of interest expense paid on a new loan acquired in 2004. The Company reported net income of $2,436,000, or $0.20 per basic share ($0.19 per diluted share), versus $1,729,000 or $0.16 per basic share ($0.14 per diluted share), with a dilution increase of 368,000 shares. Earnings per share were effected by the interest associated with the conversion of the Series "B" preferred stock. This conversion included a $260,000 stock dividend on Series "B" preferred stock and a $19,000 stock dividend on Series "C" preferred stock. As of December 31, 2005 all Series "B" and Series "C" preferred stock have been converted to common stock and included in the weighed average diluted shares. There will be no additional stock dividend payments. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES At December 31, 2005, the Company had net working capital of $9,996,000, an increase of $2,531,000 from the $7,465,000 net working capital balance at December 31, 2004. Cash and investment securities at December 31, 2005 were $4,184,000. In November 2005, Medifast, Inc.'s wholly owned subsidiary Jason Pharmaceuticals, Inc. renewed its $5,000,000 Secured Line of Credit from Mercantile Safe-Deposit and Trust of Baltimore, Maryland. The line of credit is at LIBOR plus 1.3 percent. The increased line may be used to finance equipment, inventory, and receivables of Medifast, Inc. The Company currently has no off-balance sheet arrangements. In the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company generated cash flow of $3,213,000 from operations, primarily attributable to higher operating income. This was offset by net changes in operating assets and liabilities that decreased cash flow by $2,065,000. The largest uses of cash were for the purchase of inventory and prepaid expenses, which primarily consisted of prepaid taxes, insurance, and advertising. In the year ended December 31, 2005, net cash used in investing activities was $2,032,000, which primarily consisted of the purchase of intangible assets and purchases of property and equipment. In the year ended December 31, 2005, net cash used in financing activities was $309,000, representing the principal repayments of long-term debt and purchase of treasury stock offset by an increase in the line of credit. Medifast, Inc. purchased 110,000 shares of its common stock from October 6, through October 17, 2005 at an average price of $4.03 per share, aggregating $452,000. 13 In pursuing its business strategy, the Company may require additional cash for operating and investing activities. The Company expects future cash requirements, if any, to be funded from operating cash flow and cash flow from financing activities. There are no current plans or discussions in process relating to any material acquisition that is probable in the foreseeable future. 2004 COMPARISON WITH 2003 OPERATING Consolidated net sales for 2004 were $27,340,000 as compared to 2003 sales of $25,379,000, an increase of $1,961,000, or 8%. A major reason for the revenue increase for the Company is attributed to the continued success from the Take Shape for Life division, national advertising, the Hi-Energy acquisition and the redesigned website. The Take Shape for Life division added a Take Shape for Life replicating website option for Health Advisors, an Internet distribution program for their customers, as well as the new Tasting Party Program. These have proven to be effective at generating revenues and recruiting Health Advisors into the Take Shape for Life Network. The national advertising campaign included print, TV, radio, direct mail and web marketing. The Company increased its Internet sales in 2004 as compared to 2003, by redesigning its website and increasing its web marketing. The redesigned website created an easy to use shopping cart and a more user-friendly interface. The acquisition of Hi-Energy Weight Control Centers contributed to revenues throughout 2004. Cost of sales decreased from $6,825,000 in 2003 compared to $6,746,000 in 2004, a decrease of $79,000. The decrease is attributed to decreases in costs through economies of scale. Gross margins increased to 75% in 2004 from 73% in 2003. This was largely due to greater economies of scale as a result of the acquisition of the Company's 119,000 square foot distribution facility thereby creating higher margins of the Medifast products through purchasing capabilities. The increase is also attributed to the increased margin of Medifast direct and Internet sales directly to patients via the Lifestyles and Take Shape for Life programs. Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses of $17,590,000 for 2004 were $2,634,000 more than the $14,956,000 in 2003, due to increased advertising expenses to include television advertising, celebrity endorsements, expenses involved with starting and operating new corporately owned Hi-Energy Weight Control Clinic locations, the expansion of the Take Shape for Life commissioned sales organization, and overall corporate infrastructure improvements. The Company experienced income from operations for the year 2004 of $3,004,000. This compares with income from operations of $3,598,000 in 2003, a decrease of 17%. In 2004, the Company realized a tax expense of $1,159,000, as compared to a tax expense of $1,148,000 in 2003 as a result of the elimination of the deferred tax asset and the net operating loss for income tax purposes. Interest expense increased to $245,000 in 2004, as compared to $154,000 in 2003. This increase was due to a complete year of additional debt, which was acquired in 2003. A preferred stock dividend in the amount of $18,000 was expensed to shareholders in 2004. 14 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES As of December 31, 2004, the Company had net working capital of $7,465,000, a decrease of $1,933,000 from the $9,398,000 net working capital balance at December 31, 2003. Cash and investment securities at December 31, 2004 were $3,238,000. On November 7, 2003 Medifast, Inc.'s wholly owned subsidiary Jason Pharmaceuticals, Inc. increased its Secured Line of Credit from $1,000,000 to $5,000,000 from Mercantile Safe-Deposit and Trust of Baltimore, Maryland. The line of credit is at LIBOR plus two percent. The increased line may be used to finance equipment, inventory, and receivables of Medifast, Inc. The Company currently has no off-balance sheet arrangements. In the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company generated cash flow of $1,902,000 from operations, primarily attributable to higher operating income, non-cash expenditures for depreciation and amortization and purchases of inventory and the pay down of accounts payable and accrued expenses. In the year ended December 31, 2004, net cash used in investing activities was $3,510,000, which primarily consisted of the purchase of intangible assets, purchase of property and equipment, and the purchase of a building. In the year ended December 31, 2004, net cash used in financing activities was $304,000, representing the principal repayments of long-term debt. In pursuing its business strategy, the Company may require additional cash for operating and investing activities. The Company expects future cash requirements, if any, to be funded from operating cash flow and cash flow from financing activities. There are no current plans or discussions in process relating to any material acquisition that is probable in the foreseeable future On June 11, 2003 Jason Enterprises, Inc. acquired the assets of Consumers Choice Systems, Inc., a Delaware Corporation. The Company obtained all the assets of the business that support their retail and international business including the distribution rights in 18,000 retail food and drug stores. Jason Enterprises, Inc. acquired the assets for 76,120 shares of Medifast, Inc. restricted common stock and 50,000 five-year warrants at a purchase price of $10.00 per share. The transaction will be accounted for as an asset purchase transaction. The Company is expecting to record limited and selected liabilities that amount to approximately $1.35 million. On July 25, 2003, the Company announced that it had sold an aggregate of 550,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 82,500 shares of common stock (the "PIPE Shares") to Mainfield Enterprises, Inc. and Portside Growth & Opportunity Fund. The shares of common stock were sold for a cash consideration of $12.40 per share, or a total of $6,820,000, and the warrants, exercisable for a period of five years from the date of issuance, at an exercise price equal to one hundred fifteen percent (115%) of the five-day volume weighted average price (the "PIPE Transaction"), all pursuant to the terms of that certain Securities Purchase Agreement by and between the Company and Mainfield Enterprises, Inc. and Portside Growth & Opportunity Fund dated as of July 24, 2003 (the "Securities Purchase Agreement"). On September 12, 2003 Medifast, Inc.'s wholly owned subsidiary Seven Crondall, LLC purchased a 119,825 sq. foot distribution facility located at 601 Sunrise Ave., Ridgely, Maryland 21660 from New Roads, Inc. for $2,200,000. The Company financed $1,760,000 through Merrill Lynch Capital at the 30 day LIBOR interest rate plus 220 basis points over seven years. 15 On November 7, 2003 Medifast, Inc.'s wholly owned subsidiary Jason Properties, LLC purchased the assets of Hi-Energy Weight Control Centers, located in Gulf Breeze, Florida. The acquisition includes equipment, inventory, trademarks, and licenses for fifty Hi-Energy clinics. The clinics are located primarily in the southeastern region of the United States. The assets were purchased for $1,500,000 in cash, which included selected liabilities, capital expenditures, costs of assets and miscellaneous fees. SEASONALITY The Company's weight management products and programs have historically been subject to seasonality. Traditionally the holiday season in November/December of each year is considered poor for diet control products and services. January and February generally show increases in sales, as these months are considered the commencement of the "diet season." The Company did not experience the same degree of seasonality in 2005. This is largely due to the increase in the consumer's awareness of the overall health and nutritional benefits accompanied with the use of the Company's product line. As consumers continue to increase their association of nutritional weight loss programs with overall health, seasonality will continue to decrease. INFLATION To date, inflation has not had a material effect on the Company's business. INFORMATION SYSTEMS INFRASTRUCTURE In November of 2005, the Company began an IT project to implement an Enterprise Resource Planning solution to upgrade our technology infrastructure and improve manufacturing and business processes. The new IT infrastructure will enable the Company to handle additional business growth and improve the efficiencies across the business platform. In addition, the Company is implementing new software for the Take Shape for Life direct selling network. The software will transform and empower Take Shape for Life's direct sales model by implementing the infrastructure, tools, and support critical to increasing competitive advantage, improving expansion and proliferation of the direct selling channel, facilitating support, success, and growth of the independent Health Advisor network, and meeting the evolving needs of Take Shape for Life's customers.
