NATURE OF OPERATIONS 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. 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. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 1999 included in the Company's Registration Statement on Form SB-2. 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, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2000. Advertising production costs which benefit periods within the fiscal year beyond the interim period in which the expenditure is incurred are deferred and amortized over the interim periods benefited. 3. LOSS PER SHARE AMOUNTS Loss per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Common equivalent shares consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon exercise of stock options and warrants (using the treasury stock method). These options and warrants have not been included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because such instruments would have been antidilutive for all periods presented. 4. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS In connection with the Company's 1999 Private Placement, the Company agreed to issue to investors in the Private Placement an aggregate of 904,688 shares of common stock in the event that the 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. 6 ITEM 2.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following table sets forth the results of operations for the Company expressed as a percentage of total revenue: THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2000 1999 ---------------------------- Revenue 100% 100% Cost of revenue 25 15 Product development 4 12 Sales and marketing 128 94 General and administrative 55 77 Depreciation and amortization 5 14 Other income, net 7 - Net loss (110) (112) 7 COMPARISON OF THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2000 TO MARCH 31, 1999 Revenue increased 473% to $1,134,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 compared to $198,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1999. The increase in revenue was primarily due to increased member subscriptions, which increased 430%, and was primarily the result of the Company's expansion of its online advertising combined with a lower priced membership compared to that of the prior year. Opt-in email revenue of $111,000, or 10% of total revenue, was recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2000 from the sale of email addresses of visitors to our web site who have authorized us to allow third party solicitations. No opt-in email was recorded in the comparable period in 1999. Advertising revenue of $46,000, or 4% of total revenue, was recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2000 from the sale of advertising on the Company's web site and is included in total revenues. No advertising revenue was recorded in the comparable period for 1999. As of March 31, 2000, the Company had deferred revenue of $825,000 relating to membership payments for which services had not yet been provided. Cost of revenues consist primarily of Internet access and service charges, revenue sharing costs, and salary payments to the Company's nutritional staff. Cost of revenues increased to $283,000 or 25% of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2000 from $30,000 or 15% of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1999. The dollar increase was primarily attributable to increased revenue sharing costs and additional personnel costs incurred for the Company's nutritional staff. Product development costs consist primarily of salary payments to the Company's development staff and related expenditures for technology, and software development. Product development expenses increased to $43,000 or 4% of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2000 from $23,000 or 12% of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1999. The dollar increase was primarily due to additional personnel costs related to creating and testing new design concepts and tools to be used throughout the Company's web site. 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 $1,450,000 or 128% of revenues, for the three months ended March 31, 2000 from $188,000 or 94% of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1999. The increase in sales and marketing expenses was primarily due to the Company's more aggressive advertising placements with major Internet portals, including American Online, Yahoo and iVillage. At March 31, 2000, the Company had approximately $1,841,000 of prepaid advertising primarily representing future radio and print 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 $618,000 or 55% of revenues, for the three months ended March 31, 2000, from $153,000 or 77% of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1999. The dollar increase was primarily due to the increases in personnel costs and general overhead. Depreciation and amortization expenses increased to $58,000 or 5% of revenues, for the three months ended March 31, 2000, from $27,000 or 14% of revenues, for the three months ended March 31, 1999. 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. 8 Other income, net, which consist primarily of interest income, increased to $74,000 in the current quarter from $0 in the prior year's comparable quarter. The increase was primarily due to the investment of proceeds raised in the fourth quarter of 1999 in connection with the Company's private placement financing. As a result of the factors discussed above, the Company's net loss increased to $1,244,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 compared to $223,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1999. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES As of March 31, 2000, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $3,950,000. For the three months ended March 31, 2000, cash used in operating activities was $1,894,000 and was primarily due to an increase in prepaid advertising costs. Net cash used in investing activities was $260,000 and was used for purchases of computer equipment. Net cash used in financing activities was $179,000 and consisted primarily of costs incurred in connection with the Company's private placement offering. Issuance costs have been treated as a reduction of proceeds from the transaction and charged directly to equity. As of March 31, 2000, the Company had no commitments for capital expenditures. Management believes that cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund its working capital for at least the next twelve months. However, the Company expects to continue to incur significant operating losses for at least the next 12 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 In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133"). SFAS 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that every derivative instrument (including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) be recorded on the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value. SFAS 133 requires that changes in the derivative's fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. SFAS 133 cannot be applied retroactively and was amended by SFAS 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of SFAS 133." The Company will adopt SFAS 133 beginning January 1, 2001. Adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations. 9 PART II.
