Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

As used herein, unless we otherwise specify, the terms the “Company,” "we," "us," and "our" means PacificHealth Laboratories, Inc.

This Report contains forward-looking statements concerning our financial condition, results of operations and business, including, without limitation, statements pertaining to:

	●	The development, testing, and commercialization of new products and the expansion of markets for our current products;
	●	The receipt of royalty payments from our agreements with business partners;
	●	Implementing aspects of our business plan;
	●	Financing goals and plans;
	●	Our existing cash and whether and how long these funds will be sufficient to fund our operations; and
	●	Our raising of additional capital through future equity financings.

These and other forward-looking statements are primarily in the section entitled "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations". Generally, you can identify these statements because they include phrases such as "anticipates," "believes," "expects," "future," "intends," "plans," and similar terms. These statements are only predictions. Although we do not make forward-looking statements unless we believe we have a reasonable basis for doing so, we cannot guarantee their accuracy, and actual results may differ materially from those we anticipated due to a number of uncertainties, many of which are unforeseen. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this Report on Form 10-Q. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements for many reasons, including those stated in this Report. We undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. We cannot be sure when or if we will be permitted by regulatory agencies to undertake clinical trials or to commence any particular phase of clinical trials. Because of this, statements regarding the expected timing of clinical trials cannot be regarded as actual predictions of when we will obtain regulatory approval for any “phase” of clinical trials.

We believe it is important to communicate our expectations to our investors. There may be events in the future, however, that we are unable to predict accurately or over which we have no control. Cautionary language in this Report provides examples of risks, uncertainties and events that may cause our actual results to differ materially from the expectations we describe in our forward-looking statements.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2008 AND 2007

(UNAUDITED)

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2008. The unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make certain 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The significant estimates and assumptions made by the Company are in the area of revenue recognition as it relates to customer returns, inventory obsolescence, allowance for doubtful accounts, valuation allowances for deferred tax assets, and valuation of share-based payments issued under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123R, "Share-Based Payment" ("SFAS 123R").

2. Revenue Recognition

Sales are recognized when all of the following criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; (3) the seller’s price to the buyer is fixed and determinable; and, (4) collectibility is reasonably assured. Sales are recorded net of incentives paid to customers.

The Company has a sales agreement with a significant customer for all products sold to this customer whereby all unsold product is subject to return provisions. The Company recognizes revenue when this major customer sells through its products to its consumers. At June 30, 2008, the Company has deferred $429,826 in revenues related to this customer. At December 31, 2007, the Company had deferred $559,876 in revenues related to this customer.

3. Other Short-Term Investments

Excess cash is invested in auction rate securities with long-term maturities, the interest rates of which are reset periodically (typically between 7 and 35 days) through a competitive bidding process often referred to as a "Dutch auction". Despite the underlying long-term maturity of these securities, such securities were typically priced and accounted for as cash equivalents because of the Dutch auction process which has historically provided a liquid market for auction rate securities, as this mechanism generally allows existing investors to rollover their holdings and continue to own their respective securities at the then existing market interest rate or to liquidate their holdings by selling their securities at par value. Recently, however, primarily due to liquidity issues experienced in global credit and capital markets, many auctions for auction rate securities have failed and the sellers of such securities have been unable to liquidate their securities. A seller must then wait until the next successful auction to attempt to sell its auction rate securities, unless there is a secondary market for the particular securities. As a result of a failed auction, however, the auction rate securities will generally pay interest to the holder at a maximum or default rate defined by the securities' governing documents.

Accordingly, as of June 30, 2008, the Company has reclassified such investments from cash and cash equivalents to other short-term investments. During the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company redeemed $625,000 of these investments with no gain or loss.

4. Inventories

As of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, inventories consisted of the following:

	June 30, 2008		December 31,
	(Unaudited)		2007
Raw materials	$	321,242	$	266,624
Work-in-process		-		67,920
Packaging supplies		60,746		56,480
Finished goods		1,093,078		1,358,378
Finished goods on consignment		192,904		261,044

Included above are reserves against finished goods of $37,258 and $176,363, respectively, at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007.

5. Stock Based Compensation

The Company accounts for equity instrument issuances in accordance with SFAS 123R, "Share-Based Payment". Such equity issuances encompass transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services including such transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions and issuances of stock options to employees. The Company recorded charges of $92,410 and $64,023, respectively, in the three-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, representing the effect on loss from continuing operations, loss before income taxes, and net loss. The Company recorded charges of $201,672 and $124,867, respectively, in the six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, representing the effect on loss from continuing operations, loss before income taxes, and net loss.

The Company granted no stock options to employees and directors during the three months ended June 30, 2008. The Company granted 207,500 stock options to employees and directors during the six months ended June 30, 2008 with exercise prices ranging from $0.45 to $0.55 per share.

The Company granted 6,000 stock options to employees and directors during the three months ended June 30, 2007 with an exercise price of $2.05 per share. These options vest ratably through the second quarter of 2009. These options were determined to have a total fair value of $10,254. Compensation expense recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 amounted to $214. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was $0 and $0, respectively.

The Company granted no stock options to consultants during the three months ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007. The Company granted no stock options to consultants during the six months ended June 30, 2008. The Company granted 1,000 stock options to a consultant during the six months ended June 30, 2007 that vested upon grant with an exercise price of $2.10 per share. These options were determined to have a fair value of $1,510 that was charged to operations in the six-month period ended June 30, 2007.

In summary, compensation charges to operations for the periods presented are as follows:

	Three Months				Six Months
	Ended June 30,				Ended June 30,
	2008		2007		2008		2007

As of June 30, 2008, the total fair value of non-vested awards amounted to $591,653. The weighted average remaining period over which such options are expected to be recognized is 2.62 years.

The fair value of each option award during the six months ended June 30, 2008 is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model that uses the assumptions noted in the following table:

	June 30, 2008
Expected volatility	103% - 104%
Weighted-average volatility	104%
Expected dividends	0.0%
Expected term (in years)	5
Risk-free rate	2.78% - 3.49%

6. Income Taxes

The Company has approximately $13,401,000 in federal and $4,051,000 in state net operating loss carryovers generated through December 31, 2007 that can be used to offset future taxable income in calendar years 2008 through 2027. The net operating loss carryovers will expire in the year 2015 through the year 2027. As of June 30, 2008, the Company has fully reserved for these net operating loss carryovers.

In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“FIN 48”), which clarifies the accounting and disclosure for uncertain tax positions, as defined. FIN 48 seeks to reduce the diversity in practice associated with certain aspects of the recognition and measurement related to accounting for income taxes. The Company adopted the provision of FIN 48 effective January 1, 2007. The adoption of FIN 48 had no material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

7. Concentrations

The Company’s two largest customers accounted for approximately 21% and 14%, respectively, of net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and the Company’s two largest customers accounted for approximately 17% and 17%, respectively, of net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2007.

Item 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

In this Report on Form 10-Q, the terms the “Company,” “we”, “us,” and “our” refer to PacificHealth Laboratories, Inc.

(a) Introduction

PacificHealth Laboratories is a nutrition technology company that was incorporated in the State of Delaware in April 1995. Our mission is to conceive, develop and commercialize specific and scientifically validated nutrition tools in the areas of fitness development and weight regulation to improve our consumer’s performance in life. Our products are substantiated by clinical trials conducted at leading university research centers. Our principal areas of focus include sports performance, weight loss, and management of Type II diabetes. Our products can be marketed without prior Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approval under current regulatory guidelines. We employ multiple strategies for the commercialization of our technologies: 1) launch a brand via highly targeted consumer channels, 2) license the technology to a major food or drug company, or 3) a combination of both 1 and 2.

We are focused on developing patented protein-based nutrition products using two core technology platforms. One platform involves the activation of biochemical pathways by specific nutritional compositions to enhance muscle growth, energy, and transport pathways. Using this nutritional technology platform, our research efforts have been directed to product development for 1) improving exercise performance, 2) post-surgical muscle recovery, and 3) oral rehydration. The second technology platform involves stimulation of specific satiety peptides that are released in the stomach. Using this nutritional technology platform, our research efforts have been directed in product development for 1) appetite suppression and weight loss, and 2) management of Type II diabetes.

ACTIVATION OF MUSCLE GROWTH, ENERGY AND TRANSPORT PATHWAYS

Exercise Performance

Our research into factors influencing exercise performance and muscle growth and recovery has led to the development and commercialization of a new generation of sports and recovery drinks. The key to our technology is the specific ratio in which protein is combined with carbohydrates. We received two patents on this technology and over 18 studies have been published demonstrating that products based on this technology can extend endurance, reduce muscle damage, improve rehydration, and accelerate muscle recovery. Our research in exercise performance has led to the introduction and commercialization of a number of products for the aerobic athlete. These include:

· ENDUROX® EXCEL® – Introduced in March 1997

· ENDUROX R4® Recovery Drink – Introduced in February 1999

· ACCELERADETM Sports Drink – Introduced in May 2001

· ACCEL GEL® – Introduced in February 2004

· ENDUROX RESTORETM Recovery Drink for exercise lasting less than one hour – Introduced in April 2008

· ENDUROX® EXCEL® Natural Workout Supplement to build endurance – Introduced in June 2008

· ENDUROX® EXCEL® Electrolyte Replenisher to promote rehydration – Introduced in June 2008

· ENDUROX® EXCEL® Antioxidant Regenerator to prevent muscle fatigue – Introduced in June 2008

· ACCELERADETM HYDROTM Sports Drink with 30% less calories and 55% less sugar – Introduced in June 2008

On February 22, 2006, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement of the same date, we sold to Mott’s LLP, a division of Cadbury Schweppes Americas Beverages (“CSAB”), the patents, trademarks, web sites, and other intellectual property related to our ACCELERADE and ENDUROX sports nutrition product lines for $4,000,000 in cash and potential future royalty payments. Simultaneously, we entered into a License Agreement with CSAB giving us the exclusive, royalty free right to continue to sell our sports nutrition products in powder, gel and pill form. Consequently, we will continue to sell our current sports nutrition products in the same manner as prior to the sale of the intellectual property assets.

We are eligible to receive royalty payments from Mott’s for a finite period, subject to an annual limitation on the amount of the royalty. There are no annual minimum royalties. Mott’s launched ACCELERADE Ready To Drink (“RTD”) in the second quarter of 2007. Going forward, we believe Mott’s intends to focus ACCELERADE RTD exclusively on targeted channels and classes of trade where they expect the product to be financially viable.

Oral Rehydration

Another scientific byproduct of our research on the effects of protein has been the identification of nutritional formulas that can enhance sodium transport. Such products would have widespread medical application in treating dehydration commonly associated with vomiting and diarrhea. We will continue our studies and may file patents for this indication in 2008.

Post-Surgical Muscle Recovery

Scientific insights emanating from our discoveries in sports nutrition have led to a potentially new and exciting medical application. Individuals undergoing orthopedic surgery, particularly involving the shoulder, hip or knee, experience muscle atrophy that occurs as a normal consequence of muscle immobilization in the post-surgery period. The degree of muscle atrophy a patient experiences significantly impacts health care costs and quality of life. We are currently evaluating a novel nutritional formulation that has the potential of slowing muscle atrophy following a period of forced immobilization. Such a product could have enormous benefit for the 1.6 million patients who undergo arthroscopy and muscle and knee replacement operations each year, and the 5 million patients who suffer a sports related injury. A clinical study to examine the effectiveness of this formulation is underway. We have filed one patent on this technology and plan to file additional patents in the future.

ACTIVATION OF SATIETY PEPTIDES

Weight Loss

Satiety peptides have been shown to reduce food intake and suppress appetite in humans. Our research has specifically focused on developing nutritional formulations that can stimulate cholecystokin (CCK), one of the body’s primary satiety peptides. CCK is normally released after a meal, particularly one high in fat and protein. CCK is often called the “feel full” protein because when it is released it gives a feeling of fullness and signals the brain to terminate the meal. The objective of our research is to develop a nutritional composition that stimulates and extends the duration of action of CCK in a calorically efficient way, i.e. to cause a release of CCK with 45-50 calories of specific nutrients rather than 1,000 calories.

The first product we commercialized using this technology was SATIETROL® that was released in April 2000. This was followed by the introduction of a meal replacement product called SATIETROL COMPLETE® in January 2001. Clinical studies showed that both of these products could reduce hunger and reduce caloric intake. In June 2001, we signed an exclusive worldwide licensing agreement with GlaxoSmithKline (“GSK”) for our weight loss technology. Under the agreement, we received an initial payment of $1,000,000 and received a subsequent milestone payment of $250,000. GSK subsequently terminated the agreement in September 2002 with all rights reverting back to us.

We have continued research in this area in order to develop a more effective composition that could be incorporated into different forms (ready-to-drink beverage and chewable tablet) and also has the potential to be added to food and increase the satiation property of the food to which it was added. Starting in the third quarter of 2003, the Company funded a number of clinical studies on an improved formulation. The new formulation was shown to be significantly better than the previous product in reducing caloric intake, slowing gastric emptying, and extending a feeling of satiation following a meal. We have seven patents on our appetite suppressant technology with additional patents pending. We test launched a ready-to-drink beverage using this improved technology under the trade name SATIATRIM® in January 2007 and officially launched the product in June 2007. To date, we have not generated significant sales from this product line and do not expect to do so in the near term.

Type II Diabetes

Our appetite suppression technology may also have potential for the treatment of Type II diabetes, the fastest growing chronic condition in the U.S., affecting an estimated 46 million people. We have instituted clinical trials to measure the effectiveness of our formulation in controlling blood glucose.

(b) Results of Operations – Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2008 and 2007

We recorded a net loss of ($146,608), or ($0.01) per share (basic and diluted), for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 compared to a net loss of ($127,276), or ($0.01) per share (basic and diluted), for the quarter ended June 30, 2007. For the three-month period ended June 30, 2008, non-cash equity instrument-based (options) expense was $92,410 compared to $64,023 for the same period in 2007. Taking these non-cash items out results in net losses of ($54,198) and ($63,253) (non-GAAP measure), respectively, for the three months ending June 30, 2008 and 2007. We recorded a net loss of ($418,013), or ($0.03) per share (basic and diluted), for the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to a net loss of ($351,692), or ($0.03) per share (basic and diluted), for the six months ended June 30, 2007. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2008, non-cash equity instrument-based (options) expense was $201,672 compared to $124,867 for the same period in 2007. Taking these non-cash items out results in net losses of ($216,341) and ($226,825) (non-GAAP measure), respectively, for the six months ending June 30, 2008 and 2007.

Revenues for the three-month period ended June 30, 2008 increased 15% to $2,370,429 compared to $2,069,889 for the same period in 2007. Revenues for the six-month period ended June 30, 2008 increased 5% to $4,089,804 compared to $3,888,783 for the same period in 2007. Revenues increased in the three- and six- month periods ending June 30, 2008 as compared to the same periods in 2007 due to the introduction of new products as discussed in Item 2(a) above, the launch of an advertising campaign for both old and new products, and the continuation of our aggressive new retailer program that involves freestanding racks. We expect to continue to expand the retailer program involving freestanding racks throughout 2008 and we also plan to launch additional new products in 2008 that can be introduced as part of this rack program.

For the three months ended June 30, 2008, gross profit margin was 44.5% compared to 37.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2007. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, gross profit margin was 45.0% compared to 37.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The three- and six- month periods ending June 30, 2008 include the continuing impact of our first ever price increase that was effective July 1, 2007 as well as an additional 5% price increase on all of our products that was effective April 1, 2008. In the first six months of 2007, in order to fully take advantage of the CSAB advertising spend, we redesigned all ACCELERADE and ACCEL GEL packaging to conform to the new CSAB ACCELERADE RTD packaging. To flush out old inventory, we aggressively discounted these products, leading to lower gross profit margins. The successful 5% price increase mentioned above should cover the increase in costs of raw materials or manufacturing in 2008, if any.

Selling, general, and administrative (“S, G, & A”) expenses increased $271,027 to $1,101,690 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2008 from $830,663 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2007. Selling, general, and administrative (“S, G, & A”) expenses increased $432,305 to $2,112,134 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2008 from $1,679,829 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2007. For the three-month period ended June 30, 2008, non-cash options expense was $92,410 compared to $64,023 for the same period in 2007. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2008, non-cash options expense was $201,672 compared to $124,867 for the same period in 2007. For the three- and six- month periods, S, G, & A expenses and non-cash options expense increased from the same periods in 2007 primarily due to the hiring of a President/Chief Operating Officer and a Vice President of Product Development. S, G, & A expenses also increased due to $116,000 in advertising and promotional expenses incurred in 2008 for our exercise performance product lines that were not incurred in 2007.

Research and development expenses were $77,597 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to $51,793 for the three months ended June 30, 2007. Research and development expenses were $109,508 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to $127,163 for the six months ended June 30, 2007. We anticipate research and development expenses will increase as we conduct additional clinical trials on all of our products.

At June 30, 2008, our current assets exceeded our current liabilities by approximately $3,239,000 with a ratio of current assets to current liabilities of approximately 3.4 to 1. At June 30, 2008, cash on hand was $535,687, a decrease of $1,177,026 from December 31, 2007, primarily as the result of an increase of $875,000 in other short-term investments, an increase of $669,518 in accounts receivable, a decrease in inventory of $342,476, an increase in prepaid expenses of $42,534, an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $422,960, repayments of notes payable of $26,650, issuances of notes payable of $58,537 and a decrease in deferred revenue of $130,050 from December 31, 2007. Accounts receivable increased at June 30, 2008 from December 31, 2007 due to higher revenues in the second quarter as compared to the fourth quarter of the previous year. Inventory decreased due to higher sales volumes and better inventory management. Accounts payable and accrued expenses increased due to better cash management. Deferred revenue decreased as a major customer increased its sell-through to the end-user consumers in the first six months of 2008.

As of June 30, 2008, we have approximately $875,000 invested in auction rate securities that are presented as short-term investments on the balance sheet. During the first six months of 2008, we were able to redeem $625,000 of these investments with no gain or loss. Redemptions of these securities are currently difficult to complete due to difficult credit market conditions. We have obtained a revolving line of credit with a financial institution that will accept these securities as collateral. We have evaluated our cash flow needs for the next 12 months and have determined that we will have sufficient funds to meet our current obligations as they come due and that if funds are needed, we have a viable alternative to accessing liquidity from the source noted above.

We have no material commitments for capital expenditures.

(d) Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

There are no off-balance sheet arrangements between the Company and any other entity that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources that is material to investors.
