Item 1.01.    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
 
On February 1, 2007, Nautilus, Inc. entered into purchase option agreements to acquire substantially all of the assets of its manufacturing partner, Land America Health and Fitness Co., LTD, an enterprise organized under the laws of the Peoples Republic of China, and a related trading company, Treuriver Investments Limited, an enterprise organized under the laws of the British Virgin Islands. Nautilus is paying a non-refundable six million dollar option fee that will be applied to the purchase price if the option is exercised and the asset purchase is completed. The purchase options are exercisable through June 30, 2007 to allow Nautilus time to complete necessary due diligence. The purchase option agreements also provide for rebates on products purchased from the sellers for the period of January 1, 2006 to June, 30, 2007, which will continue through December 31, 2007 upon exercise of the purchase option. The total purchase price for the assets is approximately $72 million in cash and stock, adjusted for the amounts of fixed assets and inventory held on the closing date, with an anticipated closing date of December 31, 2007.
