We currently email our newsletter four times a week to a community of over 6.1 million consumers who have completed our questionnaire, received a personal profile and have provided us with an email address. We are a Delaware corporation with our executive offices located at 3467 W. Hillsboro Boulevard, Deerfield Beach, Florida 33442.

We only commenced our current business in early 1997, when we began to market our weight-loss programs on the Internet. As a result of our limited operating history, it is difficult to evaluate our prospects. An investor should also consider the uncertainties and difficulties frequently encountered by companies, such as ours, in their early stages of development, particularly companies doing business in the rapidly evolving Internet market. WE DEPEND ON SEVERAL MAJOR INTERNET PORTALS TO ATTRACT USERS TO OUR WEB SITE AND OUR BUSINESS COULD SUFFER IF THERE IS A DISCONTINUANCE OF OUR ADVERTISING ON THESE PORTALS. A significant portion of our online traffic has come, and we believe will continue to come from, our advertising arrangements with America Online, iVillage, and other major Internet portals, including Women.com, Lifeminders and Yahoo. Our agreement with iVillage ends on June 30, 2002, our agreement with America Online ends on January 22, 2003, and our agreement with Lifeminders ends on October 1, 2001. We recently entered into a new agreement with Yahoo which ends in April 2002. Our other current advertising agreements are of a short term (less than three months) basis. Our advertisers have no obligation to renew our agreements when they expire. Our agreements with these advertisers also do not prohibit them from carrying online sites or developing and providing content that compete with our site. If there is a discontinuance of our advertising for any reason on America Online, iVillage, or the other major portals on which we currently advertise, our business could suffer. WE DEPEND ON DAVID R. HUMBLE, OUR FOUNDER AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, AND OUR OTHER KEY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL AND THE LOSS OF THEIR SERVICES COULD HARM OUR BUSINESS. AS OUR MAJORITY STOCKHOLDER, MR. HUMBLE ALSO CONTROLS OUR BUSINESS AND THIS WEAKENS THE EFFECT OF OTHER STOCKHOLDERS' VOTES. Our business is dependent on David R. Humble, our founder and Chief Executive Officer, and other key management personnel. Although we have an employment agreement with Mr. Humble, our business would suffer if we were to lose his services. Under our employment agreement, Mr. Humble receives a base salary of $250,000 per year and a bonus to be determined by our compensation committee based on income before taxes. The employment agreement contains a non-compete provision for the term of employment and two years after it is over, as well as a non-disclosure provision. We have "key-man" life insurance in the amount of $2 million covering Mr. Humble. The success of our business will also depend on our ability to hire and retain additional qualified key executive management personnel particularly in the marketing, administrative and financial areas. Competition for qualified personnel in the Internet industry is intense. If we are unable to attract and retain additional qualified personnel, our business could suffer. 4 Mr. Humble owns approximately 57.8% of our common stock. Therefore, he is able to determine the outcome of all matters requiring approval by our stockholders, including the election of directors and the approval of mergers or other business combination transactions. Accordingly, our other stockholders will have little say in the outcome of these matters. WE CAN'T BE CERTAIN THAT ADDITIONAL FINANCING WILL BE AVAILABLE TO US ON ACCEPTABLE TERMS IF WE NEED IT. We believe that the proceeds from our 1999 private placement, together with our cash flows from operations, will be sufficient to meet our anticipated capital needs through at least the next 12 months. However, due to unforeseen circumstances, unanticipated changes in our plans or other factors beyond our control, we may require financing sooner. Our business could suffer if financing is not available when we may require it. FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS This prospectus contains forward-looking statements based on our current expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections about our business and our industry. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors described in this prospectus. You should not place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements in this prospectus, which speak only as of the date the statement is made. USE OF PROCEEDS We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares of common stock or warrants by the selling security holders. If all of the warrants included in this registration statement are exercised, we will receive estimated gross proceeds of $5,935,875. We intend to use the proceeds primarily to for working capital and general corporate purposes. We offer no assurance that any of the warrants will be exercised. MARKET FOR COMMON STOCK AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS Our common stock is traded over-the-counter and quoted on the OTC Electronic Bulletin Board under the symbol "EDET."

Our original business was the design, manufacture and marketing of top-weight fabrics for use in the production of sportswear, swimwear and activewear. In 1995, we sold substantially all of our operating assets and until 1999 we did not have an operating business. In November 1999, we acquired eDiets.com, Inc., a Delaware corporation through the merger of a newly created subsidiary into eDiets.com, Inc. Upon the merger, eDiets.com, Inc. 7 became our wholly-owned subsidiary and we changed our name to eDiets.com, Inc. We changed our subsidiary's name to eDiets, Inc. eDiets, Inc. was incorporated in March 1996. By the end of 1997, we had: . completed development of our original personalized diet program software; . conducted a proof-of-concept test; . established price points; . created an Internet direct marketing campaign; and . begun to generate revenues. In January 1998, we became the first company to market customized fee-based diet programs exclusively on the Internet. Thus far, we have derived more than 90% of our revenues from the sale of our customized diet programs. Beginning in the third quarter of 1999, we began to generate some revenues from the sale of email addresses of visitors to our web site who have authorized us to allow third party solicitations. During 1999, we also began to generate advertising revenues in addition to commission revenue from the sale of third-party vendor products advertised on our web site. During 2000, there was a significant increase in our business. At the end of the year, we had over 150,000 paying subscribers to our personalized diet program. Our total online community grew to over 3.4 million consumers who have completed our questionnaire, received a personal profile and have provided us with an email address. At March 31, 2001, we had approximately 185,000 paying subscribers and our total online community exceeded 4.8 million consumers. We recognize revenues from customer subscriptions to our program on a straight-line basis over the term of the subscription. Our present subscription term is either three or twelve months. We currently offer, and have in the past offered, subscribers various payment options, including periodic payments over the term of the subscription. Because revenues from customer subscription are recognized over the term of the subscription, we may incur the related marketing expenses in a quarterly term prior to the recognition of the corresponding revenue. 8 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Comparison of years ended December 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999 The following table shows our results of operations expressed as a percentage of total revenues: YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000 1999 ------------ ----------- Revenue 100 % 100 % Cost of revenue 5 18 Product development 2 4 Sales and marketing 111 48 General and administrative 28 45 Depreciation and amortization 3 5 Other income, net 1 1 Net loss (48) % (19) % Our revenue for the year ended December 31, 2000 was $11,434,000 as compared to $2,385,000 for the year ended December 31, 1999. The increase in revenue was mainly due to the increase in the number of subscribers to our diet program. Paying members at December 31, 2000 were approximately 151,000 compared to 33,000 in the prior year. The principal reason for increase in the number of our members was the expansion of our advertising efforts in 2000, and to a lesser extent the fact that we had a lower priced membership compared to the prior year. Approximately 9.3% of our revenues in 2000 came from two additional sources of revenue: . advertising and commission revenue of $688,000 derived from the sale of third-party vendor products and the sale of advertising on our web site; and . opt-in email revenue of $371,000, which we derive from the sale of email addresses of visitors to our web site who have authorized us to allow third-party solicitations; As of December 31, 2000, we had deferred revenue of $1,352,000 relating to membership payments for which services had not yet been provided. Our cost of revenue includes: . Internet access and service charges; . revenue sharing costs; and . salary payments to our nutritional staff; Cost of revenue increased to $544,000 or 5% of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2000 from $427,000 or 18% of revenues for the year ended December 31, 1999. We attribute the dollar increase primarily to increased Internet access and service charges and revenue sharing costs incurred in connection with the expansion of our operations, and increased compensation payments to our nutritional staff. 9 Product development costs consist primarily of salary payments to our development staff and related expenditures for technology and software development. These expenses increased to $238,000 or 2% of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2000 from $92,000 or 4% of revenues for the year ended December 31, 1999. The dollar increase for the year ended December 31, 2000 as compared to the prior year was primarily due to additional personnel costs related to creating and testing new design concepts and tools to be used throughout our web site. Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of Internet advertising expenses which we generally incur prior to the recognition of revenues from sales generated from those efforts. These expenses increased to $12,747,000 or 111% of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2000 from $1,145,000 or 48% of revenues for the year ended December 31, 1999. The dollar and percentage increases in sales and marketing expenses were primarily due to our more aggressive advertising placements with several major Internet portals, including several of the America Online websites, Yahoo, iVillage and Women.com. Included in sales and marketing expenses is a $3.0 million expense related to the offline advertising campaign that began in the second quarter of 2000. This campaign, which was the first offline advertising campaign for the Company, consisted of radio commercials and print advertisements in magazines targeted to potential members. New members from the campaign were less than expected and as a result the Company terminated its agreement with its advertising agency in June 2000 and halted any future offline advertising spending not already committed. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, overhead and related costs for general corporate functions, including professional fees. General and administrative expenses increased to $3,202,000 or 28% of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2000 from $1,096,000 or 45% of revenues for the year ended December 31, 1999. The dollar increase was primarily due to the increases in salaries due to additional personnel, general overhead and increases in professional fees. General and administrative expenses, as a percentage of revenues, decreased primarily due to a significantly higher customer base and related revenue compared to the prior year. Depreciation and amortization expenses increased to $314,000 or 3% of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2000 from $120,000 or 5% of revenues for the year ended December 31, 1999. The dollar increase was primarily attributable to the larger asset base subject to depreciation and amortization. We had interest income of $161,000 in the current year because we invested the proceeds of our private placement financing which we completed in the fourth quarter of 1999. 10 Comparison of the three months ended March 31, 2001 to the three months ended March 31, 2000 The following table sets forth the results of operations for the Company expressed as a percentage of total revenue: THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2001 2000 ----------- ----------- Revenue 100 % 100 % Cost of revenue 7 11 Product development 2 4 Sales and marketing 71 140 General and administrative 17 57 Depreciation and amortization 2 5 Other income, net * 7 Net loss 1 % (110) % * less than 1% Revenue increased 285% to $4,370,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared to $1,134,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2000. The increase in revenue was mainly due to the increase in the number of subscribers to our diet program and to a lesser extent an increase in membership prices in the current period. Paying members at March 31, 2001 were approximately 185,000 compared to 66,000 in the comparable period a year ago. The principal reason for the increase in the number of our members was the expansion of our advertising efforts and the continued success in the Company's internal marketing efforts via its newsletters. Approximately 6% of our revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2001 came from two additional sources of revenue: opt-in email revenue and advertising and affiliate revenue. Opt-in email revenue increased 14% to $126,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared to $111,000 for the same period in the prior year. Such revenue is from the sale of email addresses of visitors to our web site who have authorized us to allow third party solicitations and is included in total revenues. Advertising and affiliate revenue increased 163% to $137,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared to $52,000 for the same period in the prior year. Such revenue is from the sale of advertising on our web site and is included in total revenues. As of March 31, 2001, we had deferred revenue of $2,477,000 relating to membership payments for which services had not yet been provided. Cost of revenue consists primarily of Internet access and service charges, revenue sharing costs, consulting costs for professionals that provide online meetings, and salary payments to our nutritional staff. Cost of revenues increased to $295,000 or 7% of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2001 from $128,000 or 11% of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2000. The dollar increase was primarily attributable to increased revenue sharing costs and additional personnel costs incurred for our nutritional staff. Product development costs consist primarily of salary payments to our development staff and related expenditures for technology, and software development. Product development expenses increased to $81,000 or 2% of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2001 from $43,000 or 4% of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2000. The dollar increase was primarily due to additional personnel costs related to creating and testing new design concepts and tools to be used throughout our web site. 11 Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of Internet advertising expenses and are generally incurred prior to the recognition of revenues from sales generated from those efforts. Sales and marketing expenses increased to $3,114,000 or 71% of revenues, for the three months ended March 31, 2001 from $1,581,000 or 140% of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2000. The dollar increase in sales and marketing expenses was primarily due to more extensive advertising with several major Internet portals, including several of the American Online websites, Women.com, and eUniverse. At March 31, 2001, the Company had approximately $1,288,000 of prepaid advertising primarily representing future communication costs. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, overhead and related costs for general corporate functions, including professional fees. General and administrative expenses increased to $760,000 or 17% of revenues, for the three months ended March 31, 2001, from $642,000 or 57% of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2000. The dollar increase was primarily due to the increases in personnel costs and general overhead. Depreciation and amortization expenses increased to $98,000 or 2% of revenues, for the three months ended March 31, 2001, from $58,000 or 5% of revenues, for the three months ended March 31, 2000. The dollar increase was primarily attributable to a greater amount of property and equipment subject to depreciation and amortization as compared to the same period in the prior year. Other income, net, which consists primarily of interest income, decreased to $4,000 in the current quarter from $74,000 in the prior year's comparable quarter. The decrease was primarily due to a lower average invested cash balance for the current period as compared to the same period in the prior year. As a result of the factors discussed above, we recorded net income of $26,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared to a net loss of $1,244,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2000. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES As of March 31, 2001, we had cash and cash equivalents of $2,122,000. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, net cash provided by operating activities was $1,167,000 and was primarily due to an increase in deferred revenue and a decrease in accounts receivable. Net cash used in investing activities was $113,000 and related to purchases of computer equipment. Net cash used in financing activities was $19,000 for the period. We have online advertising commitments with major Internet portals totaling approximately $9.1 million over the next two years, of which approximately $6.0 million is payable over the next twelve months. In December 2000, we obtained an irrevocable standby letter of credit from a bank in the amount of $75,000 that expires in January 2002. In March 2001, we increased the letter of credit to $200,000. The letter of credit is collaterized by our cash equivalents and is being used to 12 guarantee the obligations under capital leases for computer servers. As of March 31, 2001 we had approximately $18,000 in leased equipment against the letter of credit. Management believes that cash on hand and cash flows from operations will be sufficient to fund its working capital and capital expenditures for at least the next twelve months. To the extent the Company requires additional funds to support its operations or the expansion of its business, the Company may seek to undertake additional equity financing. There can be no assurance that additional financing, if required, will be available to the Company in amounts or on terms acceptable to the Company. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS As of January 1, 2001, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133") which was issued in June 1998, and its amendments, Statements 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities -Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133" and 138, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities" issued in June 1999 and June 2000, respectively (collectively referred to as SFAS 133). The Statement will require the Company to recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives that are not hedges must be adjusted to fair value through income. If the derivative is a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in fair value of derivatives will either be offset against the change in fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities, or firm commitments through earnings or recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of a derivative's change in fair value will be immediately recognized in earnings. The impact of adopting SFAS 133 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. BUSINESS We are the leading subscription-based online diet and fitness center, with a current base of over 200,000 paying customers and a total online community of over 6.1 million consumers. We were named a Forbes Best of the Web Fitness and Nutrition Website by Forbes Magazine for the Year 2000. We are one of the original marketers of customized fee-based diet programs exclusively online. We have developed a proprietary software engine that enables us to create a diet program, which we call our eDiets program, that is unique to each consumer and then deliver it directly to the consumer's home or office via the Internet. We believe our personalization features, low cost and centralized Internet distribution create a unique competitive advantage in a market where the market leader, Weight Watchers International, operates a decentralized network of brick and mortar storefronts. We were formed in 1992 to acquire a predecessor company that was formed in 1970. Our original business was the design, manufacture and marketing of top- weight fabrics for use in the production of sportswear, swimwear and activewear. In 1995, we sold substantially all of our operating assets and until November 1999 had not had an operating business. 13 In November 1999, we acquired eDiets.com, Inc., a Delaware corporation through the merger of a newly created subsidiary into eDiets.com, Inc. Upon the merger, eDiets.com, Inc. became our wholly owned subsidiary and we changed our name to eDiets.com, Inc. We changed our subsidiary's name to eDiets, Inc. At our Online Diet Center, we offer programs for both women and men. Women currently represent approximately 90% of our customers. To enroll in a program, a consumer completes a questionnaire and their personal profile is automatically generated. We use this profile to create a private Internet diet site for the consumer to access for meal plans and other professional advice and information. We also publish eDiets News, an online diet information resource. We currently email our newsletter four times a week to a community of over 6.1 million consumers who have completed our questionnaire, received a personal profile and have provided us with an email address. In January 2001, we launched a personalized exercise and fitness program to supplement our basic diet program. Our fitness module contains personalized workout schedules, complete with animated exercise instruction. During 2000, our web site had 13.7 million visitors and over 250,000 consumers from over 33 countries purchased subscriptions to our personalized diet program. Based on our internally developed numbers, we believe that our members spend on the average 105 minutes per month on our site and have approximately 114 page-views a month. In November 2000, we entered into a joint venture with Unislim Ireland, Limited, the leading weight loss center business in Ireland, to market our online weight loss programs in Europe, Australia and New Zealand. Under the terms of our joint venture agreement, we received a 60% interest in the joint venture primarily in return for the license of our international technology rights to the joint venture. The initial international launch occurred in the United Kingdom in March 2001. Our revenues in 2000 were $11,434,000. The majority, or 90.7%, of our revenues came from the sale of our programs. The remaining revenue came from our sale of email addresses of visitors to our web site who have authorized us to allow third party solicitations and from commissions from the sale of third-party vendor products and advertising on our web site. INDUSTRY OVERVIEW According to federal clinical guidelines on obesity issued by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, in cooperation with the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, approximately 60% of adults in the United States are overweight or obese. Recent studies reported in the Journal of American Medical Association indicate that in excess of $33 billion per year is spent on weight-control products and services. The weight-management industry consists of commercial weight-loss centers and physician-directed programs. Programs that are provided by physicians using prescription medication serve a relatively small segment of the market and are relatively expensive. 14 Magazines, books, periodicals and public services offer unsupervised programs. The cost of these unsupervised programs range from free to the cost of a book or tape. Supervised programs offered by weight-loss clinics provide personal guidance and supervision, and cost substantially more than the eDiets program. Typically, the cost to the consumers for a program that provides personal guidance similar to the eDiets program ranges from $10-$14 per week, excluding the cost of food. Specialty foods offered by some weight-loss clinics cost approximately $60 per week. EVOLUTION OF OUR BUSINESS eDiets was formed in March of 1996. In 1997: . we completed development of our proprietary software; . conducted a proof-of-concept test; . established price points; . created an Internet direct marketing campaign; and . began to generate revenue. In January 1998, we became the first company to market a customized fee-based diet program exclusively on the Internet. We tested new site formats, marketing messages and pricing options designed to increase the number of site visitors and improve the ratio of subscribers to site visitors. During this period, we also increased our Internet server and communications network capacity to support a higher level of operations. In mid-1998, we created eDiets News, our online diet, fitness and nutrition newsletter. During the second half of 1998, we began placing advertisements with several major Internet portals, including several of the America Online web sites, Yahoo and iVillage, to determine the most productive media buys. In February 1999, we completed development of proprietary software to measure consumer response in real time to marketing, pricing and other elements of a direct marketing campaign. This software uses certain elements of an in-store marketing system. David Humble, our founder and Chief Executive Officer, has filed a patent application covering this system and licensed the rights to the invention covered by the patent application to us for use in the scope of our current business. Our system has allowed us to significantly improve the yield on advertising expenditures. In November and December 1999, we completed a private placement financing raising approximately $6 million of net proceeds. Primarily utilizing proceeds from the financing, we significantly increased our advertising placements with several major Internet portals in 2000. With the significant growth in our paying members and our total online community, we have become the leading subscription-based online diet and fitness center. OUR MARKET OPPORTUNITY We believe consumers are becoming more interested in their general health and appearance today. We see a growing trend towards natural solutions for nutritional well-being 15 and, accordingly, the potential to increase sales of our current and future nutritional programs, products and services. We also believe that many consumers find the conventional diet center experience to be inconvenient and costly because of factors such as: . lack of privacy; . travel time to the diet center; . special food requirements; and . scheduling demands. We created our online nutrition management center and personalized diet programs to provide consumers with a convenient and productive experience in a private and accessible online environment. The Internet provides a unique opportunity for us to deliver our programs and services faster, more conveniently and at less cost than Weight Watchers International, Jenny Craig, Inc. and our other offline competitors. The key components of our solution include: . PERSONALIZATION. Consumers benefit from a diet program that is personalized. Our system generates a custom diet for individuals based on their individual characteristics, needs, likes and goals. Our program allows the individual to make modifications and provides a way for the individual to communicate their progress so that their program can be updated periodically. . CONVENIENCE. Our Online Diet Center and customer service is available to consumers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, from their home or office. It provides a range of services that is comparable to conventional offline centers that have limited hours of operation and require travel to and from their centers. . PRIVACY. Diet and weight-loss can be a sensitive subject that often requires frank discussions regarding solutions. Our online meetings and bulletin boards allow members to choose the option of being anonymous. This leads to more open and productive discussions between members and our staff, and within the eDiets community. OUR STRATEGY We believe there is an established need for conventional weight management services internationally. Our primary positioning objective is to establish personalization as a new and essential component of this service in the mind of the consumer, and to identify eDiets as the originator of the concept. In addition, we intend to establish nutrition management as a new online category that includes not only consumers interested in weight management, but also those interested in fitness, healthy living and the aging process. We also intend to establish eDiets as a vertical Internet portal for diets and the leading online provider of personalized nutrition management services. The key elements of our strategy to reach these objectives include: . FOCUS ON ONLINE MARKETING AND DISTRIBUTION. Our primary advantage in the market is the economics of the Internet, including the relative low cost of customer acquisition, program distribution and customer communications compared to offline weight management programs. We plan to accelerate the online marketing of our current offerings and add additional programs, services and products to become the primary online destination for personalized diet-related advice, information and products. 16 . REACH MORE CONSUMERS. We believe the growth of the Internet will provide us with opportunities to expand our marketing and reach consumers in markets, such as: - medical offices; - fitness centers; - company intranets; - nutrition stores; and - related outlets at the retail level. . PROMOTE REPEAT PURCHASES. We recognize the value of an acquired customer. Therefore we plan to implement long-term nutritional management programs to encourage the continued participation of eDiets members. . EMPLOY NEW TECHNOLOGIES. As Internet streaming audio and video become mainstream, we will seek to utilize these technologies to feature recognized personalities to broadcast their advice, information and motivational messages to our customer base. . EXPAND OUR BUSINESS INTERNATIONALLY. Through our joint venture with Unislim Ireland, Limited we plan to expand our business internationally, first in Ireland and the United Kingdom and then throughout Europe, Australia and New Zealand. THE EDIETS PROGRAM Our eDiets program is a customized diet program based on a profile provided by the user utilizing our proprietary software. To create an eDiets program for the user, the software system analyzes personal goals, food preferences and lifestyle, with nutrition content. It then creates a program that varies by individual and by changes in the individual's needs. The personalization feature eases the transition from the individual's current diet to the eDiets diet, because it includes familiar food groups and is in a format that fits the individual's lifestyle. The program includes a list of the "100 Best Supermarket Products", a personalized supermarket shopping list and weekly email tips, advice and information. To begin the program, consumers answer a series of profile questions and select a food plan. The program offers three different food plans: . A convenience food plan, comprised of pre-packaged food products; . A recipe plan, which primarily contains food recommendations requiring preparation; or . A combination convenience and recipe food preparation format. This information forms the individual's personal profile. Most customers use a credit card on our secure server to subscribe, while a limited number choose to subscribe by phone or fax and pay by check. Their first week's program is delivered immediately after their credit card submission or check payment has been received. 17 Each new member has a personal homepage we call "My eDiets". With their My eDiets custom page, members can visit their site at any time to receive progress reports, access meal plans, shopping lists and hundreds of diet resources. The current subscription term for the eDiets program is three months, and the cost of the subscription is approximately $35 - $45. After the three months, members may continue their subscription on a monthly basis at a cost of $10 per month. Members have unlimited access to services during this period. We continually evaluate the cost of our program and expect price changes in the future. Members are encouraged to attend regular online motivation meetings and have access to chat rooms where they can receive community support 24 hours a day, seven days a week. They receive guidance, have the opportunity to ask questions and learn from others with the same goals. We believe that the online meetings provide a more convenient and private means of sharing ideas and experiences than traveling to conventional weight management storefronts, and attending open meetings with strangers. The eDiets program consists exclusively of professional advice and information and uses nutrition standards established by the federal government. The program is designed around caloric intake. In our program we only specify foods that can be purchased at the supermarket. We do not recommend or market diet pills or other controversial products. In January 2001, we launched our new fitness program which we offer to paying subscribers of our weight loss program at an additional fee ranging from $5 - $10 per month. The fitness program contains personalized workout schedules with animated exercise instruction. We believe that with the addition of the fitness module, we will be able to attract more male subscribers who are generally interested in exercise and fitness in addition to dieting programs. MARKETING AND PROMOTION Our marketing plan to generate traffic to our web site and attract customers consists of: . INTERNET ADVERTISING. A majority of our sales are generated from direct response advertising on the Internet. We place advertising banners on several major Internet online portals and sites that target female audiences with health and nutrition interests. We estimate that from 1% to 15% of the consumers who visit the sites on which we advertise on a regular basis, and viewed our advertising banners, responded by "clicking through" to the eDiets site. We have an advertising agreement with America Online, which runs through January 2003. Our agreement with America Online consists of traditional banner advertising as well as the integration of our proprietary co-branded content throughout the America Online network and its affiliated properties. We have entered into an advertising agreement with iVillage which runs through June 2002 and have entered into an advertising agreement with Yahoo which runs through April 2002. We also advertise on other web sites including Women.com, Lifeminders and On- Health. . eDIETS NEWS. Our newsletter eDiets News, an online diet, fitness and nutrition resource is offered free to consumers. Currently, eDiets News generates over 15 million 18 page views per month and is mailed to a community of over 6.1 million consumers who have completed our questionnaire, received a personal profile and provided us with an email address. The newsletter is delivered four times a week to each subscriber. We obtain information for the newsletter from other Internet medical and health information providers and we write and edit all material. The newsletter also contains reference to certain health and nutrition related web sites of other companies with which we have revenue sharing arrangements. . REVENUE SHARING. In December 1998, we signed an agreement with Microsoft's Link-Share, an Internet company that arranges affiliate programs. These affiliate programs allow other Internet sites to offer the eDiets program on their sites in exchange for a specified commission. We also pay an annual fee and a commission for each sale to Link-Share. As of December 31, 2000, we had 16,957 affiliates under the Link-share program. In addition to this affiliate program, we have arrangements with other web sites for the display of the eDiets banner in exchange for a share of the revenue from sale of subscriptions. Among the sites that we currently have revenue sharing arrangements with are Cybergold and ClickTrade. . OFFLINE MARKETING CAMPAIGN. In the second quarter of 2000, we commenced an offline marketing campaign. This campaign, which was our first offline advertising campaign, consisted of radio commercials and print advertisements in magazines targeted to potential members. The results of the offline campaign did not meet our sales expectations and as a result we terminated our agreement with the advertising agency and halted any remaining uncommitted offline advertising spending. However, we believe we will utilize some level of offline advertising in 2001. COMPETITION We currently compete with several non-Internet weight-loss companies. Our major offline competitors are Weight Watchers International and Jenny Craig, Inc. We were one of the original marketers of customized fee-based diet programs exclusively online. We believe we can successfully capture market share from the established offline competitors for the following reasons: . CENTRAL POINT OF OPERATIONS. We market and distribute our programs from a single facility via the Internet. This is a more efficient system than operating a network of storefronts with fixed costs and staffing. . GEOGRAPHIC REACH. Conventional diet centers are typically located in areas where the population is concentrated and their use is limited by many convenience factors. As use of the Internet expands, eDiets will be able to reach more consumers. . FRANCHISEES. Most conventional diet center companies have sold territorial rights to their products and services to franchisees, and may face difficulties adopting a direct-to-consumer sales strategy. 19 We believe that for our major offline competitors the challenge of an Internet entry is their current investment in hard assets, lease commitments and, more importantly, their franchised outlets. An Internet offer could cannibalize sales from existing storefronts, including those of franchisees. At this time, the non-Internet leaders have web sites, but they are limited to providing information, or driving traffic to their conventional storefronts. We also compete with a number of Internet sites, such as iVillage, Thrive and America Online Health Channel, which provide free health and nutrition information, including diet information. However, these major sites utilize an advertising model and do not currently offer a fee-based program or provide any personalization features. We know of four other online competitors aggressively marketing an online program with similarities to our program. Cyberdiet.com, has had an Internet presence for approximately three years offering free programs. It had introduced a subscription fee-based diet program comparable to ours, but has recently returned to a free program. In addition, we compete with Nutrisystem.com, an online weight-loss program by NutriSystem, Inc. The NutriSystem program requires the purchase of the NutriSystem pre-packaged product line, which is only available through the Nutrisystem.com web site. There are also two newer companies that have developed personalized, fee-based diet programs, Asimba and Diet Smart. Asimba's program is primarily a personalized fitness program that provides a daily meal plan as well as nutritional information. Asimba recently switched to a subscription-based model diet program. Diet Smart provides a choice of meal plans and is also fee-based. We believe that there are also several additional websites under construction that will offer weight-loss programs that are very similar in design to our program. Due to the success of our program and the development of other competitive online weight loss programs, we anticipate that the industry leaders can be expected to mount a meaningful form of Internet response. In addition, given the rapid expansion of the Internet, other companies may develop similar programs or health-related sites that compete vigorously with our programs and services. Accordingly, we could experience increasingly intense competition in our marketplace and our business and operations could suffer. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, PROPRIETARY RIGHTS AND DOMAIN NAMES Our success depends on the protection of our original interactive proprietary software and systems and the goodwill associated with our trademarks and other proprietary intellectual property rights. Our interactive personalized diet programs are based on proprietary software that we have developed. David R. Humble, our founder and Chief Executive Officer, has filed a patent application covering the means of using the Internet to provide an interactive link in a store for the purpose of providing retailers and manufacturers with information to measure the response of the consumers to sales and marketing information. He has granted us a royalty-free exclusive perpetual license to use the aspects of the invention under the patent, if a patent is issued, that relate to our Internet marketing program. We have incorporated limited aspects of this software into our software to measure consumer response in real time to marketing, pricing and other elements of our program. For example, we can measure consumer response to changes in our 20 page format or the attractiveness of various payment options. We can receive real time responses to these modifications and options. We attempt to protect our intellectual property and proprietary rights through a combination of trademark and copyright law, trade secret protection, and confidentiality agreements with our employees, and marketing and advertising partners. We pursue the registration of our domain names, trademarks and service marks in the United States. A substantial amount of uncertainty exists concerning the application of copyright and trademark laws to the Internet and there can be no assurance that existing laws provide adequate protection of our proprietary intellectual property or our domain names. The steps we take to protect our proprietary rights may not be adequate and third parties may infringe or misappropriate our copyrights, trademarks, service marks and similar proprietary rights. INFRASTRUCTURE OPERATIONS AND TECHNOLOGY We have designed our infrastructure to provide reliability and scalability as it supports our operations. Our architecture currently consists of an array of Dell Power Edge Servers running the Microsoft Windows NT Server Operating System and Web Server Software from Microsoft and Allaire. The servers are located in a secure third-party web hosting facility in Herndon, Virginia. This facility provides us with: . ready access to increased network bandwidth; . improved redundancy and disaster recovery; . 24-hour onsite management and support; and . the security and protection of a reliable data center. Although this facility provides us with increased security and reliability, we can't assure you that there will be no interruption in service. To the extent that service is interrupted or delayed, we could experience a decrease in traffic, loss of customers, and harm to our reputation. GOVERNMENT REGULATION There are an increasing number of laws and regulations pertaining to the Internet. In addition, a number of legislative and regulatory proposals are under consideration by federal, state, local and foreign governments and agencies. Laws or regulations may be adopted with respect to the Internet relating to: . liability for information retrieved from or transmitted over the Internet; . online content regulation; . visitor privacy; and . taxation and quality of products and services. Moreover, the applicability to the Internet of existing laws governing issues such as: . intellectual property ownership and infringement; 21 . copyright; . trademark; . trade secret; . obscenity; . libel; . employment; and . personal privacy is uncertain and developing. Any new legislation or regulation, or the application or interpretation of existing laws may have an adverse effect on our business. LIABILITY FOR INFORMATION RETRIEVED FROM OUR WEB SITE AND FROM THE INTERNET Content may be accessed on our web site and this content may be downloaded by visitors and subsequently transmitted to others over the Internet. This could result in claims against us based on a variety of theories, including negligence, copyright or trademark infringement. We could also be exposed to liability with respect to third-party content that may be posted by visitors in our chat rooms or bulletin boards. It is also possible that if any information contains errors or false or misleading information, third parties could make claims against us for losses incurred in reliance on such information. In addition, we may be subject to claims alleging that, by directly or indirectly providing links to other web sites, we are liable for copyright or trademark infringement or the wrongful actions of third parties through their respective web sites. The Communications Decency Act of 1996 provides that, under certain circumstances, a provider of Internet services shall not be treated as a publisher or speaker of any information provided by a third-party content provider. This safe harbor has been interpreted to exempt certain activities of providers of Internet services. Our activities may prevent us from being able to take advantage of this safe harbor provision. Any claims brought against us in this respect may have a material and adverse effect on our business. PRIVACY CONCERNS The Federal Trade Commission has adopted regulations and guidelines regarding the collection and use of personal identifying information obtained from individuals when accessing web sites, with particular emphasis on access by minors. Such regulations include requirements that companies establish certain procedures to, among other things: . give adequate notice to consumers regarding information collection and disclosure practices; . provide consumers with the ability to have personally identifiable information deleted from a company's database; . provide consumers with access to their personal information and with the ability to rectify inaccurate information; 22 . clearly identify affiliations with third parties that may collect information or sponsor activities on a company's web site; and . obtain express parental consent prior to collecting and using personal identifying information obtained from children under 13 years of age. These regulations also include enforcement and redress provisions. We have implemented and intend to continue to implement programs designed to enhance the protection of the privacy of our visitors and comply with these regulations. However, the FTC's regulatory and enforcement efforts may adversely affect our ability to collect personal information from visitors and customers and therefore limit our marketing efforts. TRADE PRACTICES REGULATIONS The FTC and certain states regulate advertising and consumer matters such as unfair and deceptive trade practices. The State of Florida, where our corporate offices and operations center are located, regulates certain marketing and disclosure requirements for weight loss providers. In addition, the nature of our interactive Internet activities may subject us to similar legislation in a number of other states. Although we intend to conduct our operations in compliance with applicable regulatory requirements and continually review our operations to verify compliance, we can't assure you that aspects of our operations will not be reviewed and challenged by the regulatory authorities and that if challenged that we would prevail. Furthermore, we can't give any assurance that new laws or regulations governing weight loss and nutrition services providers will not be enacted, or existing laws or regulations interpreted or implied in the future in such way as to cause harm to our business. 23 REGULATIONS OF OTHER JURISDICTIONS Due to the global nature of the Internet, it is possible that, although transmissions by us over the Internet originate primarily in the United States, the governments of other foreign countries might attempt to regulate our transmissions or prosecute us for violations of their laws. These laws may be modified, or new laws enacted, in the future. Any of these developments could cause our business to suffer. In addition, as our service is available over the Internet in multiple states and foreign countries, these jurisdictions may claim that we are required to qualify to do business as a foreign corporation in each state or foreign country. We have not qualified to do business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction, except Florida. This failure by us to qualify as a foreign corporation in a jurisdiction where we are required to do so could subject us to taxes and penalties and could result in our inability to enforce contracts in such jurisdictions. EMPLOYEES As of June 26, 2001, we had 62 employees. We have an arrangement with a third-party professional employer service which provides services, including payroll, human resources benefits and workers compensation administration, for all of our employees. We believe our relationship with our employees is good. PROPERTIES We currently lease approximately 2,600 square feet of office space in Deerfield Beach, Florida, under a lease expiring on September 30, 2004. The current monthly rental, including lessor leasehold improvements repayment obligation and pro-rated share of common area facilities expenses, is $3,782.

In August 2000, we entered into a three-year employment agreement with David J. Schofield, to serve as our Chief Executive Officer, with an annual base salary of $250,000.

Limitation of liability and indemnification matters Our certificate of incorporation contains provisions eliminating the personal liability of our directors for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability . for any breach of such director's duty of loyalty to our company or its stockholders; or . for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or knowing violation of law; or . under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law regarding unlawful dividends and stock purchases; or . for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. These provisions offer our directors protection against awards of monetary damages resulting from breaches of their duty of care, except as indicated above, including grossly negligent business decisions made in connection with takeover proposals. As a result of these provisions, our stockholders' ability to successfully sue a director for a breach of his duty of care 30 has been limited. The Securities and Exchange Commission has taken the position that the provisions will have no effect on claims arising under the federal securities laws. Section 145 of the Delaware Corporation Law permits indemnification of directors, officers and employees of corporations under certain conditions subject to certain limitations. Our certificate of incorporation provides that we shall indemnify and shall advance expenses on behalf of our officers, directors, employees and agents to the fullest extent permitted by law. In addition, we are also a party to indemnification agreements with each of our directors and officers. To the extent we have the power to indemnify our directors, officers and controlling persons under the provisions described above, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy and is, therefore, unenforceable.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION The selling security holders have advised us that they may offer the shares of common stock and warrants registered under this prospectus to purchasers from time to time: . in transactions on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market System or in any other market on which the common stock and warrants may be quoted, in negotiated transactions, or by a combination of these methods; . at fixed prices that may be changed; . at market prices prevailing at the time of the resale; . at prices related to such market prices; or 38 . at negotiated prices. At the date of this prospectus, the selling security holders have not entered into any underwriting arrangements. The selling security holders may sell the shares and warrants registered under this prospectus to or through: . ordinary brokers' transactions; . transactions involving cross or block trades; . purchases by brokers, dealers or underwriters as principal and resale by such purchasers for their own accounts pursuant to this prospectus; . "at the market" to or through market makers or into an existing market for our common stock and warrants; . in other ways not involving market makers or established trading markets, including direct sales to purchasers; . through transactions in options, swaps or other derivatives (whether exchange-listed or otherwise); . privately negotiated transactions; . to cover short sales; or . combination of the foregoing. From time to time, one or more of the selling security holders may pledge, hypothecate or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock registered under this prospectus owned by them, and the pledgees, secured parties or persons to whom such shares have been hypothecated shall, upon foreclosure in the event of default, be deemed to be selling security holders under this prospectus. The number of shares of common stock registered under this prospectus and beneficially owned by those selling security holders who so transfer, pledge, donate or assign those shares will decrease as and when they take such actions. The plan of distribution for shares sold under this prospectus will otherwise remain unchanged, except that the transferees, pledgees, donees or other successors will be selling security holders under this prospectus. In addition, a selling security holder may, from time to time, sell short shares of common stock. In such instances, this prospectus may be delivered in connection with such short sales and the shares of common stock offered hereby may be used to cover such short sales. A selling security holder may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers and the broker-dealers may engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume with that selling security holder, including, without limitation, in connection with distributions of the common stock by the broker-dealers. A selling security holder also may enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers that involve the delivery of the shares of common stock registered under this prospectus to the broker-dealers, who then may resell or otherwise transfer these shares. A selling security holder also may loan or pledge the shares of common stock registered under this prospectus to a broker-dealer and the 39 broker-dealer may sell the shares so loaned or upon a default may sell or otherwise transfer the pledged shares. Selling security holders may also resell all or a portion of the shares in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act, rather than pursuant to this prospectus. Brokers, dealers, underwriters or agents participating in the distribution of the shares of common stock or warrants registered under this prospectus as agents may receive compensation in the form of commissions, discounts or concessions from the selling security holders or purchasers of the common stock or warrants for whom the broker-dealers may act as agent, or to whom they may sell as principal, or both. The compensation a particular broker-dealer may receive may be less than or more than the customary commissions. The selling security holders and any broker-dealers who act in connection with the sale of the shares of common stock or warrants under this prospectus may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act. In such event, any commissions they receive and proceeds of any sale of the shares of common stock or warrants may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Neither we nor any of the selling security holders can presently estimate the amount of this compensation. We know of no existing arrangements between any of the selling security holders and any other shareholder, broker, dealer, underwriter or agent relating to the sale or distribution of the shares of common stock or warrants registered under this prospectus. We will pay substantially all of the expenses relating to the registration, offer and sale of the shares of common stock or warrants registered under this prospectus to the public other than commissions or discounts of underwriters, broker-dealers or agents. We also have agreed to indemnify the selling security holders and certain related persons against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities under the Securities Act that arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission in stating a material fact under this registration statement or prospectus. To the extent that indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons, we have been advised that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, this indemnification is against the public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore, unenforceable. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES We are authorized to issue 21,000,000 shares of capital stock, comprised of 20,000,000 shares of common stock, with a par value of $.001 per share, and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, with a par value of $ 0.01 per share. As of June 4, 2001, there were 13,578,104 shares of common stock outstanding and no shares of preferred stock outstanding. 40 Common Stock Each holder of our common stock is entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters we presented for a vote of stockholders, including the election of directors. Holders of common stock have no cumulative voting rights or preemptive rights to purchase or subscribe for any stock or other securities, and there are no conversion rights or redemption or sinking fund provisions with respect to the stock. All shares of common stock are entitled to share equally in dividends from sources legally available when, as and if declared by the board of directors. In addition, in the event of our liquidation or dissolution, all shares of our common stock are entitled to share equally in our assets available for distribution to stockholders. Preferred Stock Our board of directors, without further approval of our stockholders, is authorized to provide for the issuance of shares of preferred stock in one or more series. In exercising its powers to provide for preferred stock, the board has the power to fix: . the dividend rights and terms, . conversion rights, . voting rights, . redemption rights, . liquidation rights, and . other rights and restrictions relating to any series. The issuances of shares of preferred stock, while providing us with flexibility in connection with possible financings, acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could, adversely affect the voting power of the holders of our other securities. Also, issuance of preferred stock could and may, under certain circumstances, have the effect of deterring hostile takeovers or delaying changes in control of our management. Warrants In connection with our private placement, we issued 1,815,625 warrants to investors in the offering. The warrants may be exercised at any time during a period of three years ending on November 17, 2002. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at a price of $2.50 per share, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. We may redeem the warrants on 30 days' prior written notice if certain conditions have occurred. The first condition is that the closing sale price of our common stock on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market on all 20 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which we gave notice of redemption has been at least 200% of the then-effective exercise price of the warrants. The second condition is that the warrant shares are publicly tradable under a registration statement filed with and declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Under our placement agent agreement and warrant agreement with Whale Securities Co., L.P., we issued a total of 640,625 warrants to the placement agent. These warrants were exercisable at any time until November 17, 2004 at a price of $2.50 per share, subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. In March 2001 we agreed with the placement agent to amend the warrant agreement and increase the number of warrants to 950,000 and reduce the 41 exercise price to $1.375 as a result of anti-dilution adjustments. In our amendment, the placement agent and its assignees agreed that the warrants may be redeemable by us if the conditions enabling us to redeem our investors' warrants are met. We have agreed with the placement agent that immediately prior to the listing of the warrants on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, a securities exchange or the OTC Bulletin Board, we shall offer the holders of the placement agent warrants the option to exchange these warrants for an equal number of warrants which will be listed with the warrants. Delaware Anti-Takeover Law Provisions of Delaware law could make our acquisition by a third-party and the removal of our officers and directors more difficult. We are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which regulates corporate acquisitions. In general, Section 203 prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a business combination with an interested stockholder for a period of three years following the date the person became an interested stockholder, unless: . the board of directors approved the transaction in which such stockholder became an interested stockholder prior to the date the interested stockholder attained such status; . upon consummation of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder's becoming an interested stockholder, he or she owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding shares owned by persons who are directors and also officers; or . on or subsequent to such date the business combination is approved by the board of directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders. Transfer Agent The transfer agent is American Stock Transfer and Trust Company, 40 Wall Street, New York, New York 10005.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of eDiets.com, Inc. as of December 31, 2000, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2000. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of eDiets.com, Inc. at December 31, 2000 and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2000, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. /s/ ERNST & YOUNG LLP West Palm Beach, Florida January 30, 2001, except for the fourth paragraph of Note 7, as to which the date is March 28, 2001 F-2 EDIETS.COM, INC.

F-6 EDIETS.COM, INC NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2000 1. ORGANIZATION eDiets.com, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated in the State of Delaware on March 18, 1996 for the purpose of developing and marketing an Internet-based diet and nutrition program. In addition to a personalized and regularly updated plan, subscribers to the Company's program can also purchase related items and attend online motivational meetings. The Company markets its program primarily through advertising and other promotional arrangements on the World Wide Web. On February 23, 1999, the Company's name was changed from Self/Help Technologies, Inc. to eDiets.com, Inc. (Original eDiets). On November 17, 1999, Original eDiets merged with a wholly-owned subsidiary of Olas, Inc. (Olas), a public "shell". In connection with the merger, Original eDiets changed its name to eDiets, Inc. and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Olas, whose name was changed to eDiets.com, Inc. The transaction was executed as a reverse merger whereby all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock and stock options of Original eDiets were exchanged for shares of common stock and options representing 88% of the fully-diluted common stock of the shell. For accounting purposes, the reorganization of Original eDiets and Olas is regarded as an acquisition by Olas of all of the outstanding stock of Original eDiets and was accounted for as a recapitalization of the Company with Original eDiets as the acquirer (a reverse acquisition). See Note 7. As a result, the historical financial statements presented for periods prior to the date of the transaction are those of Original eDiets. The capital structure has been retroactively restated to reflect the equivalent number of shares received by Original eDiets in the acquisition. In November 2000, the Company entered into a joint venture with Unislim Ireland, Limited, the leading weight loss center business in Ireland, to market the Company's online weight loss programs in Europe, Australia and New Zealand. Under the terms of the joint venture agreement, the Company received a 60% interest in the joint venture primarily in return for the license of its international technology rights to the joint venture. It is anticipated that the initial international launch will occur in the United Kingdom in March 2001. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents at December 31, 2000 include U.S. treasury note securities with a fair value of approximately $500,000 and a maturity date of January 17, 2001. The Company has classified these investments as held-to-maturity securities and considers the interest rate risk to be low due to the short-term nature of the investments. RESTRICTED CASH Restricted cash on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet consists of funds held by financial institutions as collateral for chargebacks related to credit card transactions and as collateral for a letter of credit established pursuant to certain capital lease agreements. F-7 EDIETS.COM, INC NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which is approximately three years for equipment and computer hardware and software, including internal use software, and approximately seven years for furniture and fixtures. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred, while major renewals and betterments are capitalized. The assets and related depreciation are adjusted for asset retirements and disposals with the resulting gain or loss included in operations. Capitalized leases are initially recorded at the present value of the minimum payments at the inception of the lease. AICPA Statement of Position (SOP) 98-1, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed for or Obtained for Internal Use, requires capitalization of certain costs incurred in connection with developing or obtaining internal use software. Costs capitalized pursuant to SOP 98-1 are included in property and equipment in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. In March 2000, the Emerging Issues Task Force issued its consensus on Issue No. 00-2, "Accounting for Web Site Development Costs." ("EITF 00-2"). The Company accounts for the development and maintenance of its website in accordance with EITF 00-2. EQUITY INVESTMENTS The Company has an investment in a foreign joint venture that is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method of accounting, the Company's share of the investee's earnings or loss is included in consolidated operating results. To date, the Company's basis and current commitment in its investment accounted for under the equity method of accounting have not been significant. As a result, this investment has not significantly impacted the Company's results of operations or its financial position. REVENUE RECOGNITION The Company offers memberships to the proprietary content contained in its web site. Revenues from customer subscriptions to the Company's program and paid in advance are deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the period of the subscription. Registration fees paid in advance are deferred and recognized over the expected term of service. Commission revenue is derived from third party vendors on sales of products and services advertised on the Company's web site, while advertising revenue is derived from the sale of advertising on the Company's web site. Advertising revenue is recognized in the period the advertisement is displayed, provided that no significant Company obligation remains and collection is probable. Company obligations typically include guarantees of a minimum number of "impressions" or times that visitors to the Company's web site view an advertisement. Amounts received or billed for which impressions have not yet been delivered are reflected as deferred revenue. Opt-in email revenue is derived from the sale of email addresses of visitors to the Company's web site who have authorized the Company to allow third party solicitations. Revenues from the sale of email addresses are recognized when no significant Company obligation remains and collection is probable. F-8 EDIETS.COM, INC NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) Revenue by type for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999 is as follows (in thousands): 2000 1999 ------------ ------------ Membership $ 10,375 $ 2,189 Advertising and commissions 688 41 Sale of opt-in email addresses 371 155 ------------ ------------ $ 11,434 $ 2,385 ============ ============ COST OF REVENUE Cost of revenue consists primarily of internet access and service charges, revenue sharing costs, and compensation expenses related to the Company's nutritional staff. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, defines a fair value method of accounting or issuance of stock options and other equity investments. Under the fair value method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. Pursuant to SFAS No. 123, companies are encouraged, but not required, to adopt the fair value method of accounting for employee stock-based transactions. Companies are also permitted to continue to account for such transactions under Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, but are required to disclose in a note to the financial statements pro forma net income amounts as if the Company had applied the fair value method of accounting. The Company accounts for employee stock-based compensation under APB No. 25 and has complied with the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123. In March 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 44, "Accounting for Certain Transactions involving Stock Compensation" ("FIN 44"), which contains rules designed to clarify the application of APB 25 and was effective on July 1, 2000. Adoption of FIN 44 had no material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. LONG-LIVED ASSETS The Company accounts for long-lived assets pursuant to SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Asets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of, which requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Management reviews long-lived assets and the related intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the assets may be impaired. An impairment loss is recorded when the net book value of the assets exceeds their fair value, as determined by projected undiscounted future cash flows. INCOME TAXES The Company accounts for income taxes under SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. F-9 EDIETS.COM, INC NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) ADVERTISING EXPENSE The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expenses incurred for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999 totaled approximately $11,689,000 and $816,000, respectively. At December 31, 2000, the Company had approximately $1,062,000 of prepaid advertising costs representing future communication costs. Such costs are reflected as prepaid advertising expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. BARTER TRANSACTIONS Advertising barter transactions are recorded at the estimated fair value of the advertising services received or given. Revenue from barter transactions is recognized when advertising is provided, and services received are charged to expense when used. The Company did not recognize any barter transactions for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999. In 2000, the Company entered into barter transactions that did not result in revenue recognition, because the fair value was not determinable under the criteria established by the EITF, for approximately 110 million impressions on its website. LOSS PER COMMON SHARE Loss per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon exercise of stock options and warrants (using the treasury stock method). Potential common shares outstanding have not been included in the computation of diluted loss per share for all periods presented, as their effect is anti-dilutive. CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, including investments, accounts receivable from credit card transaction processing companies, and receivables from third parties related to advertising and opt-in email revenue. The Company has policies that limit its investments as to maturity, liquidity, credit quality, concentration and diversification of issuers and types of investments. The credit risk associated with cash and cash equivalents and credit card receivables is considered low due to the credit quality of the financial institution and issuers. The Company performs credit evaluations of the third parties from which advertising and opt-in email revenue is earned and generally does not require collateral. The Company maintains allowances for potential credit losses for such event. COMPREHENSIVE LOSS There was no difference between the Company's net loss and its total comprehensive loss for the periods presented. USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. RECLASSIFICATIONS Certain reclassifications of the prior year's consolidated financial statements have been made to conform to the current year's presentation. F-10 sss EDIETS.COM, INC NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) 3. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE Accounts receivable are shown in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $32,000 at December 31, 2000. 4.

Included in property and equipment is equipment under capital leases of approximately $206,000 as of December 31, 2000, less accumulated amortization of $63,000. Depreciation expense includes amortization of equipment under capital leases. 5. ACCRUED LIABILITIES Accrued liabilities consist of the following (in thousands): Advertising $ 533 Accrued compensation and employee benefits 254 Professional fees 118 Other 81 ---------- $ 986 ========== 6. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN The Company maintains a defined contribution benefit plan (401(k) salary deferral program) covering substantially all employees. Employees may elect to contribute to the plan amounts not to exceed a specified percentage of annual compensation, subject to the current limit imposed by Internal Revenue Service guidelines. The Company, at its discretion, may match the participant's contributions at a specified percentage, limited by a stated maximum amount. An unrelated investment company administers the assets of the plan. The total employer contributions charged to expense were approximately $20,000 and $0 in 2000 and 1999, respectively. 7. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY COMMON STOCK The Company was initially capitalized through the issuance of 100 shares of common stock, no par value, to its founder. In July 1999, the Company's Articles of Incorporation were amended, increasing the number of authorized shares of the Company's common stock from 1,500 shares to 10,000,000 shares with a par value of $.001 per share. In connection with the change in capital structure, a 62,157.33-for-1 stock split was declared, pursuant to which the founder's shares were converted to an aggregate of 6,215,733 shares of the Company's new common stock, which continued to represent 100% ownership of the Company at such time. F-11 EDIETS.COM, INC NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) In connection with the reverse merger transaction discussed in Note 1, a total of 7,814,065 shares of the Company's common stock were issued in exchange for all of the outstanding common stock of Original eDiets. All share and per share amounts in the consolidated financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the new capital structure. After the merger, the Company's capital structure consisted of 20,000,000 authorized shares of common stock, with a par value of $0.001 per share, and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, with a par value of $0.01 per share. In connection with the reverse merger a total of 1,050,000 shares of common stock were issued to the stockholders of Olas. The shares were recorded at a value of approximately $385,000, representing the fair value of the net assets of Olas at the date of the merger, net of cash transaction costs of $35,000. In connection with the merger, options to purchase 32,500 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.425 per share and with a fair value of approximately $32,000 were granted to a stockholder of Olas and current Director of the Company. In addition, a total of 150,000 shares of common stock, with a fair value of $300,000, were issued to the placement agent in connection with the transaction. The total transaction costs of $367,000 associated with the merger have been charged directly to equity to the extent of cash received from Olas in the merger. Concurrent with the merger transaction discussed above, the initial closing of an equity private placement by the Company was completed, and, in December 1999, the final closing of the private placement took place. The private placement totaled approximately $7.3 million and consisted of 145.25 units of 25,000 shares of common stock and 12,500 warrants, each to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $2.50 per share, subject to adjustment in certain events. The warrants are exercisable through November 2002 and are redeemable at the option of the Company upon the occurrence of certain events. Net proceeds to the Company after placement commissions and other issuance costs totaled approximately $6.0 million. In connection with the transaction, a total of 640,625 warrants, each to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $2.50 per share and with an aggregate fair value of approximately $122,000, were issued to the placement agent. The quantity and price of such warrants were subject to adjustment in certain events. On March 28, 2001 an adjustment was made to the quantity and price of the placement agent warrants. Under the terms of the modified warrant agreement, the placement agent and its designees now hold 950,000 warrants, each to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $1.38 per share. Such warrants remain exercisable through November 2004 and under the modified agreement are now redeemable at the option of the Company upon the occurrence of certain events. The excess of the fair value of the new warrant over the value of the original warrants at the date of modification will be charged to equity in the first quarter of 2001. The issuance costs related to the private placement, including the fair value of the placement agent warrants, and related registration costs, have been treated as a reduction of the proceeds from the transaction and charged directly to equity. In November 1999, the Company issued 82,500 warrants to an advertising agency with an exercise price of $2.00 per share in exchange for services. The warrants are fully vested and are exercisable through November 2002. In connection with this transaction, approximately $76,000 and $3,000 has been recognized as sales and marketing expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. In connection with the private placement financing discussed above, the Company agreed to issue to investors in the private placement an aggregate of 907,813 shares of common stock in the event that the Company's Registration Statement on Form SB-2 had not become effective and its common stock listed for trading on the Nasdaq Small Cap Market by May 17, 2000. The Company issued those shares in June 2000 since the common stock was not yet listed on the Nasdaq Small Cap Market. No proceeds were received in connection with the issuance of the shares. F-12 EDIETS.COM, INC NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) At December 31, 2000, common shares reserved for future issuance are as follows: Stock Options 3,748,436 Warrants 2,538,750 --------- Total 6,287,186 ========= The common shares reserved for future issuance exclude the common shares underlying the additional warrants issued pursuant the modification of the placement agent warrant agreement as described above. STOCK OPTIONS In May 1996, the Company adopted the "Startup Equity Program" (the Startup Program), pursuant to which the Company granted non-qualified stock options to certain employees and consultants during the company's start-up phase. Options granted under the Start-up Program are exercisable over a five or ten-year period from the date of grant at an exercise price of $0.01 per share and vested in equal monthly installments over a period of 12 months from the date of grant. In addition, through the first half of 1999, the Company granted additional stock options to certain employees and non-employees, which were issuable at the discretion of the Company's Board of Directors. All such additional options are exercisable over a five-year period from the date of grant at an exercise price of $0.01 per share and vested in equal monthly installments over a period of 12 months from the date of grant. A total of 917,714 options were granted under these programs, of which 825,943 options remained outstanding as of December 31, 2000. In July 1999, the Company granted an aggregate of 159,993 options to a key employee exercisable over a period of ten years at an exercise price of $2.00 per share. The options vest in equal monthly installments over a period of two years from the date of grant. In connection with the merger transaction in 1999, the eDiets.com, Inc. 1999 Stock Option Plan (the Plan) was adopted. The Plan, as amended, provides for the grant of incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options to purchase up to 2,730,000 shares of the Company's common stock to employees, directors and consultants to the Company. Options granted to employees under the Plan generally vest ratably over a two-year period and expire five years from the date of grant. The Plan also provides for the automatic issuance of options to non-employee directors of the Company on an annual basis. Such options have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the underlying common stock at the grant date and are fully exercisable on the date of grant for a period of up to ten years. Through December 31, 2000, 2,209,798 options have been granted under the Plan. Certain options granted to employees were at an exercise price lower than the estimated fair market value of the underlying common stock at the grant date. Compensation expense has been recognized pro-rata on a straight-line basis for the excess of the estimated fair market value over the exercise price and totaled approximately $24,000 and $161,000 for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. F-13 EDIETS.COM, INC NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) A summary of the activity relating to the Company's stock options for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999 is presented below (shares in thousands): 2000 1999 -------------------------------- ------------------------------ WEIGHTED WEIGHTED AVERAGE AVERAGE SHARES EXERCISE PRICE SHARES EXERCISE PRICE ------------------------------------------------------------------ Outstanding at beginning of year 1,770 $ 1.06 662 $ 0.01 Granted 1,458 1.74 1,108 1.69 Exercised - - - - Forfeited (506) 1.88 - - ----------- ---------- Outstanding at end of year 2,722 1.27 1,770 1.06 =========== ========== Options exercisable at end of year 1,996 $ 1.12 1,370 $ 0.79 ============================== =============================== Weighted average exercise price of options granted during the year: Issued at market price $ 1.72 $ 2.00 ============= =============== Issued below market price $ 2.00 $ 0.24 ============= =============== Weighted average fair value of options granted during the year: Issued at market price $ 0.83 $ 0.55 ============= ================ Issued below market price $ 1.45 $ 0.78 ============= ================ The following table summarizes information about stock options outstanding at December 31, 2000 (shares in thousands): OPTIONS OUTSTANDING OPTIONS EXERCISABLE ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ WEIGHTED AVERAGE WEIGHTED WEIGHTED OUTSTANDING AT REMAINING AVERAGE EXERCISABLE AT AVERAGE EXERCISE DECEMBER 31, 2000 CONTRACTUAL LIFE EXERCISE DECEMBER 31, EXERCISE PRICE PRICE ($) (IN YEARS) PRICE 2000 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ $0.01 826 4.3 0.01 826 $ 0.01 0.77 to 1.50 372 4.9 1.08 132 1.16 1.51 to 2.50 1,524 4.1 2.00 1,038 1.99 ----------- ---------- 2,722 4.2 1.27 1,996 1.12 =========== ========== F-14 EDIETS.COM, INC NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) Pro forma information is required by SFAS No. 123 and has been determined as if the Company had accounted for its stock-based compensation plans under the fair value method. The fair value of each option grant was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model for 2000 grants and the minimum value method for 1999 grants with the following weighted average assumptions: expected volatility factor of 60% for 2000, risk free interest rates of 6.2% for 2000 and 6.4% for 1999; dividend yield of 0%; and expected life of 4.0 years for 2000 and 5.0 years for 1999. For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options is amortized to expense over the options' vesting period. Because the determination of the fair value of the Company's options is based on the assumptions described above, and because additional option grants are expected to be made in future periods, this pro forma information is not likely to be representative of the pro forma effects on reported net income or loss for future years. The Company's pro forma information for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999 is as follows (in thousands, except per share data): 2000 1999 ------------ ------------- Net loss-as reported $ (5,450) $ (462) ============ ============= Pro forma net loss $ (5,947) $ (896) ============ ============= Loss per share-as reported $ (0.41) $ (0.06) ============ ============= Pro forma loss per share $ (0.45) $ (0.11) ============ ============= 8. COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS The Company leases its office space under a non-cancelable operating lease, which expires in September 2004. The Company also leases certain office and computer equipment under non-cancelable capital leases expiring through 2004. Commitments for minimum rentals under non-cancelable leases at the end of 2000 are as follows (in thousands): CAPITAL OPERATING YEAR LEASES LEASES ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2001 $ 76 $ 47 2002 76 49 2003 15 49 2004 9 37 ------------- ------------- Total minimum lease payments 176 $ 182 ============= Less amount representing interest (18) ------------- Present value of minimum lease payments $ 158 ============= Rental expense under operating leases was approximately $46,000 and $28,000 for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. F-15 EDIETS.COM, INC NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) The Company has an online advertising commitment with America Online totaling approximately $10.8 million over the next two years, of which approximately $5.2 million is payable over the next twelve months. From time to time, the Company may be subject to legal proceedings and other claims in the ordinary course of its business. The Company is not currently party to any litigation, the outcome of which would have a material adverse effect on its business or operations. The Company has a $75,000 letter of credit established for the benefit of a computer equipment manufacturer, which expires in January 2002. At December 31, 2000, no amounts had been drawn against the letter of credit. During 2000, the Company entered into an agreement with an investment advisor which provides for a monthly retainer of $8,000 per month. In addition, the agreement provides for a cash fee totaling 8% of the gross proceeds of any financing, subject to a minimum of $500,000, with up to 25% of the total financing fee being payable in warrants at the option of the advisor. Through the end of 1997, the Company financed its cash requirements primarily through advances from its Chief Executive Officer (the Original eDiets stockholder). The obligation represented by the advances was non-interest bearing and did not have a fixed or determinable due date. During 1999, net repayments to the stockholder totaled approximately $53,000. In connection with the merger transaction discussed in Note 1, the remaining outstanding obligation to the stockholder, totaling approximately $110,000, was converted to equity. During the second half of 1999, the Company advanced approximately $88,000 to the Original eDiets stockholder. These advances were represented by a note receivable entered into on February 22, 2000, which bore interest at 7% per annum and was due on March 1, 2001. During the third quarter of 2000, the Company forgave the note receivable and accrued interest totaling approximately $93,000. The forgiveness of the note has been charged to equity. Since the Company's inception through the date of the reverse merger, the Original eDiets stockholder did not receive compensation for his services as the Company's Chief Executive Officer. The Company has recorded compensation expense for the estimated fair market value of the in-kind services received and reflected such amounts as a contribution to capital for the respective periods. Compensation expense totaling $119,000 related to the value of the in-kind services received has been included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 1999. During 2000, a member of the Company's Board of Directors provided consulting services to the Company beyond his duties as a Board member. As compensation for these services, in September 2000 the Company granted the Board member vested options to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.87 per share. Compensation expense of approximately $54,000 has been recognized for the fair value of the options and is reflected in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2000. F-16 EDIETS.COM, INC NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) 9. INCOME TAXES The significant components of the Company's net deferred income taxes as of December 31, 2000 are as follows (in thousands): Deferred tax assets: Net operating loss carryforwards $ 2,316 Deferred compensation 128 Allowance for doubtful accounts and sales returns 18 Start-up and organizational costs 2 --------- 2,464 Valuation allowance (2,453) --------- Total deferred tax assets 11 Deferred tax liabilities: Fixed assets and software (11) --------- Net deferred income taxes $ - ========= Realization of the Company's deferred tax assets is not reasonably assured; therefore, they are fully reserved with a valuation allowance. The change in the valuation allowance for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999 was an increase of approximately $2,094,000 and $121,000, respectively, resulting primarily from the net operating losses generated during the periods. The Company has incurred net losses since inception. At December 31, 2000, the Company had approximately $6,153,000 in net operating loss carryforwards for U.S. federal income tax purposes that expire in various amounts through 2020. The reconciliation of income tax computed at the U.S federal statutory rate to income tax expense for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999 is as follows: 2000 1999 ----------------------- Tax at U.S. statutory rate (34.00)% (34.00)% State taxes, net of federal benefit (3.61) (2.44) Non-deductible items 0.22 11.19 Changes in valuation allowance 37.39 25.25 ---------------------- - % - % ====================== F-17 EDIETS.COM, INC NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) 10. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission released Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" ("SAB 101"). This bulletin summarizes certain views of the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission on applying generally accepted accounting principles to revenue recognition in financial statements. The staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission believes that revenue is realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; the seller's price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and collectibility is reasonably assured. In June 2000, the Staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101B, "Second Amendment: Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements," ("SAB 101B"). SAB 101B delayed the implementation of SAB 101 until the fourth quarter of the Company's fiscal year 2000. The adoption of SAB 101, as amended, did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. As of January 1, 2001, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133") which was issued in June, 1998 and its amendments Statements 137, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133 and 138, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities issued in June 1999 and June 2000, respectively (collectively referred to as Statement 133). The Statement will require the Company to recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives that are not hedges must be adjusted to fair value through income. If the derivative is a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in fair value of derivatives will either be offset against the change in fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities, or firm commitments through earnings or recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of a derivative's change in fair value will be immediately recognized in earnings. The Company expects the adoption of SFAS 133 in fiscal 2001, as well as the effect on subsequent periods, to be immaterial. 11. FOURTH QUARTER ADJUSTMENTS - UNAUDITED During the fourth quarter of 2000, the Company recorded certain adjustments, including an adjustment to decrease its allowance for doubtful accounts due to the subsequent collection of an account receivable that was previously reserved and an adjustment to decrease accrued year-end bonuses. These adjustments increased net income for the fourth quarter of 2000 by approximately $250,000. F-18 EDIETS.COM, INC.

The Company markets its program primarily through advertising and other promotional arrangements on the World Wide Web. 2. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. The Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. All the adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the periods shown are of a normal recurring nature and have been reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2001. The information included in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in this report and the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. While the Company believes that such estimates are fair when considered in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial position and results of operations taken as a whole, the actual amount of such estimates, when known, may vary from these estimates. Certain reclassifications have been made for consistent presentation. 3. Stockholders' Equity In connection with the Company's 1999 Private Placement, the Company had issued 640,625 warrants, each to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $2.50 per share, to the placement agent. The quantity and price of such warrants were subject to adjustment in certain events. On March 28, 2001 an adjustment was made to the quantity and price of the placement agent warrants. Under the terms of the modified warrant agreement, the placement agent and its designees now hold 950,000 warrants, each to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $1.38 per share. Such warrants remain exercisable through November 2004 and under the modified agreement are now redeemable at the option of the Company upon the occurrence of certain events. The excess of the fair value of the new warrants over the value of the original warrants at the date of modification has been charged to equity during the quarter ended March 31, 2001. In January 2001, the Company entered into a consulting agreement whereby a consultant was to work with management to strategize and coordinate all public, media and investor relations efforts of the Company for a one-year period. As compensation to the consultant, the Company issued 400,000 warrants with an exercise price of $0.75 per share. The warrants had immediate vesting and are exercisable through January 2004. The fair value of the warrants totaled approximately $160,000, of which approximately $40,000 has been recognized as compensation expense in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2001. From the outset of the agreement, the services it would cover have been in dispute. The Company is assessing what course to take with respect to the matter. F-22 EDIETS.COM, INC NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 4. Equity Investment The Company has an investment in a foreign joint venture that is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method of accounting, the Company's share of the investee's earnings or loss is included in consolidated operating results. To date, the Company's basis and current commitment in its investment accounted for under the equity method of accounting have not been significant. As a result, this investment has not significantly impacted the Company's results of operations or its financial position. 5. Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share Basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive potential common shares consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon exercise of stock options and warrants (using the treasury stock method). The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share (in thousands, except per share information): Three Months Ended March 31, ----------------------------------------- 2001 2000 ------------------ ----------------- Basic earnings (loss) per common share: Net income (loss) $ 26 $ (1,244) Weighted average common shares outstanding 13,553 12,645 Basic earnings (loss) per common share $ 0.00 $ (0.10) ================== ================= Diluted earnings (loss) per common share: Net income (loss) $ 26 $ (1,244) Weighted average common shares outstanding 13,553 12,645 Effect of dilutive potential common shares: Stock options and warrants 1,106 - ------------------ ----------------- Adjusted weighted average shares and assumed conversions 14,659 12,645 ================== ================= Diluted earnings (loss) per common share $ 0.00 $ (0.10) ================== ================== 6. Income Taxes No provision for income taxes has been recorded for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 as the Company expects to be able to offset substantially all taxable income for the period with available net operating loss carryforwards from prior years.

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 Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act; (ii) Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information 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 the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective Registration Statement; and (iii) Include any additional or changed material information on the plan of distribution. 2. For determining liability under the Securities Act, treat each post- effective amendment as a new registration statement of the securities offered, and the offering of the securities at that time to be the initial bona fide offering. 3. File a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering. 4.
