<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:0pt; text-indent:0.5in;text-align:justify;'><font size=2>We outsource all manufacturing to outside suppliers. Each supplier manufactures a portion of our product line to our detailed specifications using raw materials specified by CNS. All suppliers have entered into confidentiality agreements with CNS to protect our intellectual property rights. Our quality control and operations personnel regularly inspect these manufacturers to observe processes and procedures to ensure compliance with FDA Good Manufacturing Practice Standards. Finished goods are also inspected to ensure that they meet quality requirements. We work closely with raw material vendors and our manufacturers to reduce scrap and waste, improve efficiency and improve yields to reduce the manufacturing costs of the product. We have received certification that CNS has established and maintains a quality system which meets the requirements of ISO 9001:2000/EN 46001.</font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:0pt; text-indent:0.5in;text-align:justify;'><font size=2>To ensure consistent quality and
supply, we have multi-year contracts with the suppliers that provide most of the major components for nasal strips. During fiscal
2005, we entered into a multi-year contract with 3M that provides for consistent supply, adherence to specifications and pricing
for raw materials used in the manufacturing of nasal strips. Although similar materials are currently available from other
suppliers, we have historically utilized 3M components for manufacturing nasal strips. Although we believe that this relationship
will not be disrupted, the inability to obtain sufficient quantities of these components or the need to develop alternative
sources in a timely and cost-effective manner could adversely affect our operations until new sources of these components become
available.

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:0pt; text-indent:0.5in;text-align:justify;'><font size=2>As a manufacturer and marketer of medical devices, we are subject to regulation by governmental entities including the FDA and the corresponding agencies of the states and foreign countries in which we sell our products. We must comply with a variety of regulations, including the FDA’s Good Manufacturing Practice regulations, and we are subject to periodic inspections by the FDA and applicable state and foreign agencies. If the FDA believes that its regulations have not been fulfilled, it may implement extensive enforcement powers, including the ability to ban products from the market, prohibit the operation of manufacturing facilities and effect recalls of products from customer locations. We believe that CNS is currently in compliance with applicable FDA regulations.</font></p>
<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:0pt;text-align:justify;'><font size=2> </font></p>
<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:0pt; text-indent:0.5in;text-align:justify;'><font size=2>FDA regulations classify medical devices into three categories that determine the degree of regulatory control to which the manufacturer of the device is subject. In general, Class I devices involve compliance with labeling and record keeping requirements and are subject to other general controls. Class II devices are subject to performance standards in addition to general controls. Class III devices are those devices, usually invasive, for which pre-market approval (as distinct from pre-market notification) is required before commercial marketing to assure product safety and effectiveness. Nasal dilators, such as our Breathe Right nasal strips, have been classified by the FDA as Class I devices.</font></p>
<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:0pt;text-align:justify;'><font size=2> </font></p>
<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:0pt; text-indent:0.5in;text-align:justify;'><font size=2>Before a new medical device can
be introduced into the market, the manufacturer generally must obtain FDA clearance through either a 510(k) pre-market
notification or a pre-market approval application (“PMA”). A 510(k) clearance will be granted if the submitted data
establish that the proposed device is “substantially equivalent” to a legally marketed Class I or II medical device, or
to a Class III medical device for which the FDA has not called for PMAs. The PMA process can be expensive, uncertain and lengthy,
frequently requiring from one to several years from the date the PMA is accepted. In addition to requiring clearance for new
products, FDA rules may require a filing and waiting period prior to marketing modifications of existing products. We have
received 510(k) pre-market notification approvals to market the Breathe Right nasal strip as a device that can (i) temporarily
relieve the symptoms of nasal congestion and stuffy nose, (ii) eliminate or reduce snoring, (iii) improve nasal breathing by
reducing nasal airflow resistance, and (iv) temporarily relieve breathing difficulties due to a deviated nasal septum.

no requirement that a company obtain a license or approval from FDA before marketing dietary supplements in the United States. The
FDA is currently developing regulations for certain provisions of the DSHEA that may affect the regulation of our FiberChoice
product line. However, at this time, the impact of any proposed regulation on our product lines is not certain.</font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:0pt; text-indent:0.5in;text-align:justify;'><font size=2>We have engaged in litigation to enforce our patent rights relating to the Breathe Right nasal strip. In 1999, CNS brought a suit in federal district court to enforce one of the licensed nasal strip patents containing the broadest claims and providing the most comprehensive protection. In the course of this suit, the defendant requested reexamination in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (the “Patent Office”) of our primary licensed patent. On September 29, 2000, the Patent Office issued an Office Action in Reexamination and rejected certain of the claims. Other claims that were not subject to reexamination remain in effect. We have joined the licensor, Creative Integration & Design, Inc., in the exercise of our rights to contest the action of the Patent Office and have provided reasons that we believe establish that the claims should not have been rejected. CNS and its
licensor are also seeking to amend certain claims to provide us with additional protection under the patent. The final outcome of the reexamination by the Patent Office is therefore uncertain. Although an adverse ruling from the Patent Office would narrow the protection available for nasal dilators and limit the breadth of the our patent protection, we believe that our current portfolio of both pending patent applications and newly issued patents will enable CNS to maintain significant patent protection for our nasal strip products. </font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:0pt;text-align:left;'><b><font size=2>We depend upon sales of our Breathe Right nasal strip for the majority of our revenues. </font></b></p>

As a result, our success is substantially dependent upon the success of our Breathe Right nasal strip products. If we are unable to successfully create sustained demand for our Breathe Right nasal strip products and introduce new Breathe Right nasal strip products to generate additional sales, our business, financial condition and results of operations will be materially and adversely affected. Effective marketing and </font></p>
<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:0pt;text-align:left;'><font size=2>advertising drive sales of Breathe Right nasal strips and therefore, our success will also depend significantly on our ability to effectively market our Breathe Right nasal strips to consumers. Further, higher than expected manufacturing, marketing and distribution costs, mild cold and flu seasons, lower than expected customer acceptance of new products and competitive forces may require us to alter our pricing or marketing structure in a manner that could have a material and adverse effect on us or otherwise adversely affect our sales of Breathe Right nasal strip products.</font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:0pt; text-indent:0.5in;text-align:left;'><font size=2>Sales of our Breathe Right products are seasonal in nature with consumer demand generally higher during the cold and flu season and dependent upon the severity of the cold/flu season. The cold and flu season corresponds with the third and four quarters of each of our fiscal years. Therefore, we will typically experience periods of increased revenues during the third and fourth quarter. Additionally, because consumer demand for our Breathe Right nasal strip is tied to the severity of the cold/flu season, our revenues from sales of our Breathe Right products will be adversely affected by a mild cold/flu season. However, because the length and severity of the season is difficult to anticipate, we cannot estimate the fluctuation of our sales from quarter to quarter in a fiscal year or the impact of the cold/flu season year to year. If our operating results are below financial analysts’ or
investors’ expectations due to seasonality factors, the market price of our common stock may decline.</font></p>

this area will depend upon cost effective development of new products. Revenues,

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:0pt; text-indent:0.5in;text-align:left;'><font size=2>We believe that protecting our proprietary technology is important to our success and competitive positioning. In addition to common law intellectual property rights, we rely on patents, trade secrets, trademarks, copyrights, know-how, license agreements and contractual provisions to establish and protect our intellectual property rights. However, these legal means afford us only limited protection and may not adequately protect our rights to keep any advantages we may have over our competitors. </font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:0pt; text-indent:0.5in;text-align:left;'><font size=2>Others may independently develop the same or similar technologies incorporated into our products, including technologies relating to external nasal dilator products, even if these technologies are the subject of our patents, patent applications or licenses. We have a license to the exclusive worldwide rights to manufacture and sell nasal strips in its various versions. We own the patents and pending patents relating to the chewable fiber tablet. Although we believe that our owned and licensed patents will limit the ability of others to introduce competitive products in the United States, there can be no assurance that the patents on the nasal strip or the chewable fiber tablet, or any additional patents on these or other products that may be issued in the future, if any, will effectively prevent the development or sale of competitive products or that we will have sufficient resources to
pursue enforcement of any patents issued. </font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:0pt; text-indent:0.5in;text-align:left;'><font size=2>Additionally, we have engaged in litigation to enforce our patent rights relating to our nasal strip technologies. In 1999, we brought suit in federal district court to enforce our rights under U.S. Patent No. 5,533,499 (the “ ‘499 Patent”), one of the licensed nasal strip patents containing the broadest claims relating to the nasal strip. In the course of this suit, the defendant requested reexamination in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (the “Patent Office”) of the claims of the ‘499 Patent and on January 21, 2005, we received a determination from the Patent Office that the ‘499 Patent has significant allowable claims. We are seeking, with the licensor of the ‘499 Patent, to amend certain claims of the ‘499 Patent to provide us with additional protection under the ‘499 Patent. We believe that the allowable claims of the ‘499
Patent, if and when reissued, will enable us to maintain significant patent protection for our nasal strip products.</font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:0pt; text-indent:0.5in;text-align:left;'><font size=2>In February 2004, we, together with Creative Integration & Design, Inc., sued Silver Eagle Labs, Inc.

The two patents at issue are U.S. Patent No. 6,318,362 (the “ ‘362 Patent”) and U.S. Patent No. 3,533,503 (the “ ‘503 Patent”). The suit seeks injunctive relief, damages, enhanced damages for willful infringement, attorneys’ fees and costs. Silver Eagle has counterclaimed for a declaration that the ‘362 Patent and ‘503 Patent are invalid and not infringed and asks for its attorneys’ fees and costs. In the course of this suit, Silver Eagle requested reexamination of the ‘362 Patent and the ‘503 Patent. In response
to the reexamination by the Patent Office, on November 29, 2004, the Court issued an order staying our suit against Silver Eagle pending the reexamination. While the Patent Office has indicated that it has completed its reexamination process with respect to the ‘362 Patent, with the claims of this Patent not being altered or amended in any way, the Patent Office has not formally reissued the ‘362 Patent. An adverse ruling from the Patent Office would narrow the protection available for nasal dilators, limit the breadth of our patent protection and may increase the likelihood that competitors will introduce competitive external nasal dilator products.</font></p>

Additionally, we compete with prescription nasal decongestants. We compete with these other products on the basis of numerous factors including brand recognition, product quality, efficacy, price and product availability at the retail store.

The termination or interruption of any of these relationships, or the failure of these manufacturers or suppliers to supply products or materials consistent with our requirements as to quality, quantity and timeliness, likely would cause shortages of our products, delays in fulfilling orders for our products and harm our reputation and our business by causing delays, loss of sales, increases in costs and lower gross profit margin. </font></p>

For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, Wal-Mart Corporation accounted for approximately 31%, 31% and 32% of our sales, respectively. The loss of this customer or any other large retailer would have a negative impact on our operating results. While we would attempt to replace the lost sales through other retail outlets, we cannot be certain that we would be able to replace any lost sales. Because we typically do not enter into long-term contracts with our customers but rather fulfill demand for our products upon individual sales orders, our customers could cease buying our products from us at any time and for any reason. The loss of any major retailer would disrupt distribution of our products and result
in a loss of revenue. If a significant number of our customers cease purchasing products from us, our business would be materially and adversely harmed. Further, any significant reduction or delay in the historical level of orders from our customers, cancellation of orders from any significant retailer or any significant decrease in our retail display space in any of these customers’ stores would have a negative impact on our operating results.</font></p>

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United Sates of America. In
connection with the preparation of the consolidated financial statements, we are
required to make assumptions and estimates about future events, and apply
judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue,
expenses and related disclosures. We base our assumptions, estimates and
judgments on historical experience, current trends and other factors that
management believes to be relevant at the time the consolidated financial
statements are prepared. On a quarterly basis, management reviews the accounting
policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments to ensure our financial
statements are presented fairly and in accordance with GAAP. However, because
future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual
results could differ from our assumptions and estimates, and such differences
could be material. </font></p>

2005 gross margin rate was 70.3%. The continued improvement in gross margin rates in 2006 and 2005 resulted primarily from lower

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:0pt; text-indent:0.53in;text-align:justify;'><font size=2>CNS has experienced in the past, and expects that it will continue to experience in the future, quarterly fluctuations in both domestic and international sales and earnings. These fluctuations are due in part to the timing of advertising and promotion campaigns and seasonality of sales, as well as increases and decreases in purchases by distributors and retailers in anticipation of future demand by consumers. Significant portions of the Breathe Right product line are used for the temporary relief of nasal congestion and congestion-related snoring. Sales of these items are higher during the fall and winter seasons, corresponding with our third and fourth quarters.</font></p>

In addition, we have generated strong and improving cash from operations during the past three fiscal years, and barring an unforeseen decline in our revenues or operating margins, we expect future cash flows from operations to continue to be strong and growing. The existing cash and marketable securities balances may be used to acquire complementary consumer healthcare businesses, pay dividends to our shareholders and/or buy back additional shares of CNS common stock. In summary, we believe that our existing funds will be sufficient to support our planned operations for the foreseeable future.</font></p>

We generated cash from operating activities of $15.8 million during fiscal 2006 compared to $14.7 million and $8.6 million during fiscal 2005 and 2004, respectively. The improved net cash provided by operations is primarily due to the increases in operating income described above partially offset by increases in accounts receivable and inventories required to support our sales growth.</font></p>

During fiscal 2006, we continued to invest excess cash in short term marketable securities in order to improve our investment return. Sales and maturities of marketable securities exceeded purchases by $7.6 million for fiscal 2006. The proceeds from the investment portfolio along with cash provided by operations were used to purchase product rights, repurchase CNS common stock and pay cash dividends. For 2006, marketable securities purchased consisted of tax exempt municipal securities which provide a higher after tax yield.</font></p>

Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company’s estimates and assumptions primarily arise from risks and uncertainties associated with potential future product returns, settlement of trade and consumer promotion liabilities, the uncollectibility of accounts receivable, inventory obsolescence and realization of deferred tax assets.</font></p>

The Company reviews its product rights for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a product right may not be recoverable. If such product rights are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the product right exceeds the fair value of that product right. </font></p>
