(3)        LOSS PER SHARE

           In accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share, the computation
           of diluted EPS shall not assume conversion, exercise, or contingent
           issuance of securities that would have an antidilutive effect on
           earnings per share. SFAS No. 128 also states that although including
           those potential common shares in the other diluted per-share
           computations may be dilutive to their comparable basic per-share
           amounts, no potential common shares shall be included in the
           computation of any diluted per-share amount when a loss from
           continuing operations exists, even if the entity reports net income.

           Due to the net loss position of the Company, only the net loss per
           common share is presented on the face of the unaudited consolidated
           statements of operations for the three and nine month periods ended
           December 31, 1997 and 1998.


(4)        OTHER

           The Company sells its products to various customers located primarily
           in the U.S. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its
           customer's financial condition and generally requires no collateral
           as security against accounts receivable. The Company maintains cash
           equivalents with various financial institutions located in the U.S.
           and Canada. The Company's policy has been and continues to be to
           invest solely in highly liquid investments that are readily
           convertible to cash. In November 1998, the Company was advised by one
           of its depositories that it had blocked withdrawal pending a review
           of documentation of an unauthorized pledge of Company funds to secure
           a personal guarantee. The deposit balances held at this institution
           at December 31, 1998 were US $364,053 and CDN $77,767.

           During the period ending December 31, 1998, 519,750 stock options
           were forfeited associated with the termination for cause, or
           resignation, in the normal course of business, of certain former
           employees.


(5)        REVERSE STOCK SPLITS

           In October 1997, the Company completed a reverse one for four stock
           split of its issued and outstanding common stock.


(6)        POST PERIOD EVENTS

           On February 1, 1999, the Company's Board of Directors approved the
           1999 Restricted Stock Plan which provides for the issuance of up to
           275,000 shares of the Company's common stock under certain conditions
           to the Company's management. Under the plan, the Company issued
           220,000 


<PAGE>

           restricted shares including 90,000 to an officer and director
           of the Company.

           On February 9, 1999, the Company settled its litigation with one of
           its depositories for the release of its funds which had been held
           pending a review of documentation related to an unauthorized pledge
           of the Company's assets. [See Management's Discussion and Analysis]


ITEM 2.        MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

THE FOLLOWING ANALYSIS OF THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION OF
THE COMPANY SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS, INCLUDING THE NOTES THERETO, OF THE COMPANY CONTAINED ELSEWHERE IN
THIS FORM 10-QSB.

OVERVIEW

Caring Products International, Inc. (the "Company") has designed and markets a
line of proprietary urinary incontinence products that are sold under the
Rejoice brand name. Historically, the Company's customer base has consisted
primarily of drug store chains, retail stores, hospital supply companies and
other distributor relationships. The Company has also designed, utilizing
similar technology to its adult incontinence products, a complete line of
children's toilet training products.

Quarter to quarter, the Company's sales can fluctuate with the introduction of a
large retail or drugstore chain, which requires higher initial product
requirements to stock store shelves. Additionally, gross margins can fluctuate
based on the mix of sales to healthcare and retail customers, as well as the
type of products sold. Gross profit margins are also affected by the type of
product sold as the Company sells down higher costed inventory that had been
produced in Canada. All of the Company's pants are now being produced in Mexico
at significant savings compared to pants which had been produced in Canada.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


<PAGE>


Total gross revenues, less certain allowances, were $277,462 for the three-month
period ended December 31, 1998 (the "1998 Period") and $245,946 for the
three-month period ended December 31, 1997 (the "1997 Period"), an increase of
13%. During the 1997 and 1998 Periods, the Company shipped primarily reorders.
Total net revenues for the ninemonth periods ended December 31, 1998 and 1997,
respectively, were $1,442,929 and $1,222,004, a 15% decrease. The decrease in
nine month results reflected the timing and inclusion of certain first chain
orders which affect the consistency of quarter to quarter sales results.

Cost of sales increased from $804,083 for the nine months ended December 31,
1997 to $930,756 for the nine months ended December 31, 1998, an increase of
16%. Cost of sales increased from $151,921 for the 1997 Period to $365,292 for
the 1998 Period. Cost of sales was adversely affected by a one time provision
for chain allowances of $150,000. Other factors affecting the Company's reported
gross profit margins include year-end promotional pricing and the mix of product
sold during the period under review.

Selling expenses decreased 26% from $434,680 for the 1997 Period to $323,079 for
the 1998 Period. Selling costs decreased from $1,546,564 for the nine months
ended December 31, 1997 to $1,535,371 for the nine months ended December 31,
1998, a decrease of 1%. Reduction in selling costs reflect the timing of
certain in-store advertising programs, product sampling, trade shows and other
promotional programs.

General and administrative expenses increased 1% from $369,045 for the 1997
Period to $375,542 for the 1998 Period, and 17% from $868,416 for the nine month
period ended December 31, 1997 to $1,016,173 for the nine month period ended
December 31, 1998. Despite a general reduction in office expenses during the
1998 Period, overall general and administrative expenses included unbudgeted
legal expenses associated with the investigation of certain activities of the
Company's former CEO. In addition, the Company incurred research and development
costs of approximately $94,000, primarily as part of vendor sourcing and testing
of certain new children's products in preparation for commercialization.
Amortization and depreciation expense for the 1998 period was $17,170 as
compared to $15,814 for the prior period. Amortization and depreciation expense
for the nine month period ending 1998 was $50,303 as compared to $47,556 for the
prior nine month period.

The Company generated $10,595 in interest income during the 1998 Period as
compared to $7,921 during the 1997 Period. The Company generated $64,472 in
interest income during the nine months ended December 31, 1998 compared to
$54,569 during the nine months ended December 31, 1997. The increase in interest
income is attributable to higher average deposit balances. Interest expense
decreased from $164,834 during the 1997 Period to $1,747 during the 1998 Period,
and from $386,210 for the nine month period ended December 31, 1997 to $1,894
during the nine month period ended December 31, 1998. The decrease in interest
expense related to the decrease in short-term and long-term borrowing. Other
income (expense) during the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 1998
was also impacted by the continued deterioration of the Canadian dollar against
the U.S. dollar, resulting in unrealized exchange losses associated with the
translation of the Company's Canadian assets to U.S. dollars for financial
statement presentation purposes.


<PAGE>


As a result of the foregoing, the Company reported a loss per share of $.85 for
the nine month period ending December 31, 1998 as compared to $1.49 per share
for the nine month period ending December 31, 1997. The total net loss for the
1998 nine month period was $2.3 million as compared to $1.9 million during the
comparable prior period. The Company reported a loss per share of $.30 for the
1998 Period as compared to $.49 per share for the 1997 Period. The Company
generated a net loss for the 1998 Period of $846,690 as compared to $649,179 for
the prior period.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company has historically financed its operations through private placements
of its equity securities as well as various debt financing transactions. On
December 15, 1997, the Company completed a public offering ("the Offering") of
1,750,000 units at $5.00 per unit, each unit consisting of one share of the
Company's common stock and a five-year warrant to purchase one additional share
at a price equivalent to 150% of the unit price. Proceeds from the Offering were
$6,819,542, net of offering costs, of which $3,118,698 was used to pay
outstanding debt and accrued interest in December 1997.

The Company maintains cash equivalents with various financial institutions
located in the U.S. and Canada. The Company's policy has been and continues to
be to limit the exposure at any one financial institution and to invest solely
in highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to cash.

As of December 31, 1998, the Company's principal sources of liquidity included
cash of $809,728, net accounts receivable of $1,077,107, and inventories of
$1,636,926. The Company's operating activities used cash of $2,558,433 during
the nine-month period ended December 31, 1998. The Company anticipates that the
levels of inventories and accounts receivable will vary commensurate with the
Company's sales.

On December 14, 1997, US $350,160.05 was deposited into an account at the
direction of the Company's former Chief Executive Officer, Mr. William H.W.
Atkinson to secure an undisclosed personal commitment between the CEO and his
brother. On January 12, 1998, the former CEO signed a personal guarantee form
and designated Company funds as security for the personal guarantee. The
existence of the pledge was brought to the Company's attention by the depository
in late September. The Board of Directors immediately initiated an investigation
with respect to the pledge and related matters. On November 8, 1998, the Board
took action to prevent the application of the Company's funds to support the
personal guarantee, removed Mr. Atkinson as Chairman, and terminated his
employment contract with the Company, pursuant to its terms. Susan Schreter, the
Company's President, subsequently assumed the responsibilities of CEO. On
November 13, 1998 the depository notified the Company that it had placed a hold
on the Company's accounts pending an investigation of documentation. The Company
responded and filed a lawsuit against the depository demanding the release of
the Company's funds. On February 9, 1999, the Company settled its litigation
with the depository. A total of US $360,913.65, representing both US and
Canadian dollar accounts, was returned to the Company and the Company was
released by the depository from further potential liability under the
unauthorized guarantee signed by Mr. Atkinson. Both accounts at the depository
were subsequently closed. The loss,

before legal expenses associated with the investigation of the pledge and 
litigation with the depository and other matters of approximately $100,000, 
was approximately US $57,000.

YEAR 2000 COMPUTER SOFTWARE CONVERSION

The Company regularly updates its information systems capabilities, and has
evaluated all significant computer software applications for compatibility with
the year 2000. With the system changes implemented to date and other planned
changes, the Company anticipates that its computer software applications will be
compatible with the year 2000. Expenditures specifically related to software
modifications for year 2000 compatibility are not expected to have a material
effect on the Company's operations or financial position. However, the Company
is dependent on numerous vendors and customers which may incur disruptions as a
result of year 2000 software issues. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that
this will not impact the Company's results of operations.
