PART III — NARRATIVE

Nautilus, Inc. (the “Company”) engages a third party administrator to perform administrative functions with respect to the Nautilus, Inc. 401(k) Savings Plan (the “Plan”). During 2006, the Company and its third party administrator attempted to put in place an “auto-enrollment” feature for the Plan. The administrator failed to properly execute the auto-enrollment plans and auto-enrollment did not occur as designed. As a result, a number of employees of the Company were not properly enrolled in the plan when they should have been.

In addition, the Company match included one additional pay period (when calculating eligible wages) in the match calculation for all employees. This created a situation in which employees deferring more than 6% of their pay would have received more employer match than allowed by the plan.

The Company and third party administrator are currently working to correct the problems with the auto-enrollment feature and employer match and to make the appropriate contributions to the Plan. Prior to the completion of this process, the Company is unable to prepare and submit its Form 11-K with respect to the Plan for the period ending December 31, 2006. The Company expects to complete the correction process and to file its Form 11-K within 15 calendar days of its prescribed due date.
