NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
------------------------------
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements of Health & Nutrition
Systems International, Inc. (the "Company") have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information
and Regulation S-B. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required for complete financial statements.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring
accruals considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the

These results have been determined on the basis of generally accepted accounting
principles and practices applied consistently with those used in the preparation
of the Company's Annual Financial Statements for the year ended December 31,

necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending
December 31, 2000.
It is recommended that the accompanying condensed financial statements be read

-------------
Current income taxes provision $ 121,423
Deferred income taxes (benefit) (31,327)
Decrease in valuation allowance (40,857)
---------
Total Provision $ 49,239
=========
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences
between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities. They
are measured by applying the enacted tax rates and laws in effect for the years
in which such differences are expected to reverse. The significant components of
the Company's deferred tax asset and liability is as follows:
September 30,
2000
-------------
Deferred tax asset:
Accounts receivable reserves $ 18,863
Stock for services 53,321
-------
Total deferred tax asset 72,184
-------
Valuation allowance -
-------
Deferred tax liability -
Total net deferred tax asset $ 72,184
--------
The deferred tax assets were calculated for the period using United States
federal tax rate of an average of 37% and a Florida state tax rate of 5.5% for
an effective tax rate of 42.50%. There were non-deductible permanent differences
for meals and entertainment and penalties of $20,330 during the period ending
September 30, 2000.
NOTE 5 - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
-----------------------------
On August 30, 2000, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to effect
a one-for-two reverse stock split of the Company's outstanding common stock. As
of August 30, 2000, there were 6,905,621 shares of common stock outstanding,
resulting in a total of 3,452,811 shares of common stock outstanding after the
reverse split. Pursuant to the reverse split, par value of the Company's common
stock remained at $0.001 per share. This resulted in a reduction in the stated
capital. Further, the number of shares included in the Company's 1998 Incentive
Stock Option Plan were reduced due to the reverse stock split. All earnings per
share calculations reflect this reverse stock split.
During the three months ended September 30, 2000, the Company issued 25,000
shares of common stock to consultants. The Company recorded compensation for
professional services of $12,500.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB contains forward-looking
statements. Any statements that are not statements of historical fact should be
regarded as forward-looking statements. For example, the words "intends,"
"believes," "anticipates," "plans," and "expects" are intended to identify
forward-looking statements. There are a number of important factors that could
cause our actual results to differ materially from those indicated by such
forward-looking statements. These factors include without limitation those
factors contained in our Form 10-SB filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. We do not undertake any obligation to update any such factors or to
publicly announce the result of any revision to any of the forward looking
statements contained herein to reflect future events or developments.
The following discussion of our results of operations and financial
condition should be read together with our unaudited Financial Statements
contained in Part I, Item 1 and the related Notes in this Form 10-QSB, and our
audited Financial Statements and the related Notes contained in our Form 10-SB
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
NET SALES:
Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2000 were
$1,193,056, an increase of $575,982 or 93%, compared to net sales of $617,074
for the three months ended September 30, 1999. The increase was due to growth in
our in-house telemarketing accounts and new orders for "Carbcutter" from chain
store accounts CVS, Eckerd Drugs, Rite-Aid, Phar-Mor and GNC. Our in-house
telemarketing program, which targets the independent health food store and
independent pharmacy market, generated $213,908 or 18% of sales during the
quarter. Chain store sales accounted for $919,234 or 77% of our sales during the
quarter. Distributors accounted for $59,914 or 5% of sales. GNC, our single
largest account, accounted for 54% of sales or $642,765 during the quarter. No
other account represented more than 10% of sales during the quarter.
Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 were $4,019,490,
an increase of $2,709,327 or 207%, compared to net sales of $1,310,163 for the
nine months ended September 30, 1999. The increase was due to growth in our
in-house telemarketing accounts and new orders for "Carbcutter" from chain store
accounts CVS, Eckerd Drugs, Rite-aid and GNC. Our in-house telemarketing
program, which targets the independent health food store and independent
pharmacy market, generated $861,820 or 21% of sales during the first three
quarters. Chain store sales accounted for $2,893,110 or 72% of sales during the
first three quarters. Distributors accounted for $264,560 or 7% of sales. GNC,
our single largest account accounted for 50% of sales or $2,006,312 during the
first three quarters. No other account represented more than 10% of sales during
the first three quarters.
COST OF SALES:
Cost of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2000 was
$270,740 or 23% of net sales, compared to $231,054 or 37% of net sales for the
three months ended September 30, 1999. The decrease in cost of sales was
primarily attributable to higher sales of our "Carbcutter" product, which has a
higher gross profit margin than our other products. We may not be able to
maintain the higher margin on "Carbcutter" as our competitors introduce and
promote similar products.
Cost of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 was
$1,002,576 or 25% of net sales, compared to $556,143 or 42% of net sales for the
nine months ended September 30, 1999. The decrease in cost of sales is primarily
attributable to higher sales of our "Carbcutter" product which has a higher
gross profit margin than our other products. We may not be able to maintain the
higher margin on "Carbcutter" as our competitors introduce and promote similar
products.
GROSS PROFIT:
Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2000 was $922,316
an increase of $536,296 or 139%, compared to gross profit of $386,020 for the
three months ended September 30, 1999. As a percent of net sales, gross profit
was 77% for the three months ended September 30, 2000, compared to 63% for the
three months ended September 30, 1999. These increases are primarily
attributable to the higher sales and higher profit margins of our product
"Carbcutter."

<PAGE>
Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 was
$3,016,914 an increase of $2,262,894 or 300%, compared to gross profit of
$754,020 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. As a percent of net
sales, gross profit was 75% for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, as
compared to 58% for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. These increases
are primarily attributable to higher sales and profit margins of our product
"Carbcutter."
OPERATING EXPENSES:
Operating expenses were $1,040,237 for the three months ended September
30, 2000, representing an increase of $742,098, compared to $298,139 for the
three months ended September 30, 1999. As a percent of net sales, operating
expenses were 87% for the three months ended September 30, 2000, compared to 48%
for the three months ended September 30, 1999. The increase in operating
expenses was primarily attributable to higher general administrative and
personnel costs associated with our increased sales, and higher in-store
promotional expenses of $338,577 during the quarter associated with our new
chain store accounts for "Carbcutter." We expect these in-store promotional
expenses to significantly decline as a percentage of sales in the fourth quarter
and in 2001. The increase in operating expenses was also attributable to
television advertising production costs during the quarter of $42,983 related to
planned future advertisements introducing consumers to our new "Carbcutter"
product. We estimate test marketing of the television advertisements during the
fourth quarter will cost approximately $160,000.
Operating expenses were $2,671,707 for the nine months ended September
30, 2000, compared to $694,131 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999,
representing an increase of $1,977,576. As a percent of net sales, operating
expenses were 66% for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, compared to 53%
for the nine months ended September 30,1999. The increase in operating expenses
was primarily attributable to higher general administrative and personnel costs
associated with our increased sales, and higher in-store promotional expenses of
$338,577 during the third quarter associated with our new chain store accounts
for "Carbcutter." We expect these in-store promotional expenses to significantly
decline as a percentage of sales in the fourth quarter and in 2001. The increase
in operating expenses was also attributable to television advertising production
costs during the third quarter of $42,983 related to planned future
advertisements introducing consumers to our new "Carbcutter" product. We
estimate test marketing of the television advertisements during the fourth
quarter will cost approximately $160,000.
NET PROFIT FROM OPERATIONS:
Net loss from operations was $(117,921) and net after tax loss was
$(141,599) or $(.04) per share for the three months ended September 30, 2000,
compared to net profit from operations of $87,881, and net after tax profit of
$92,206 or $.03 per share for the three months ended September 30, 1999. The
decrease in income from operations for the quarter was primarily due to higher
general administrative and personnel costs associated with our increased sales,
and higher in-store promotional expenses of $338,577 and television advertising
production costs of $42,983 during the quarter. See the discussion above on
operating expenses.
Net profit from operations was $345,207, and net after tax profit was
$284,861 or $.08 per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2000,
compared to net profit from operations of $59,889 and net profit after tax of
$63,559 or $.02 per share for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. The
increase in income from operations was primarily due to the higher sales and
higher gross profit margins of our new product "Carbcutter."
All earnings per share calculations in this Quarterly Report on Form
10-QSB reflect the one-for-two reverse stock split of our common stock that was
effective August 30, 2000.
LIQUIDITY & CAPITAL RESOURCES:
At September 30, 2000, we had a working capital surplus of $538,027.
Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September
30, 2000 was $157,309 and resulted primarily from the net income for the nine
months and payment of trade accounts and accrued expenses. Net cash used in
investing activities was $19,285 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000.
Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30,
2000 was $20,934.

<PAGE>
We sell the majority of our accounts receivables to "factors" at a
discount because we do not have sufficient working capital to be able to wait
thirty to ninety days to collect these accounts ourselves. We expect to continue
to factor our large pharmacy chain accounts and large health food store accounts
in order to support our working capital requirements. We are dependent on
factoring our receivables in order to support our working capital needs. There
is no assurance that we will be able to factor our accounts receivable in the
future at commercially reasonable discount rates that will provide us sufficient
working capital or allow us to make a profit. Inability to factor our
receivables on commercially reasonable terms could have a material adverse
effect on our results of operations.
We may need to raise additional capital in order to expand our
inventory levels, product lines and sales in the future, to the extent internal
cash flow, supplier credit lines and factoring arrangements are not sufficient.
We may attempt to raise additional equity or capital, either through private
placements or public offerings. Additional capital would be directed to
expansion of inventory, improved recognition of the Company name and its brands,
development of our e-commerce site, participation in additional trade shows and
additional advertising for our new products. We have no current arrangements
with respect to sources of additional equity financing and there can be no
assurance that additional equity or debt financing will be available to us on
commercially reasonable terms, or at all.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
The Company was named as a defendant in SAM ACQUAVIVA vs. HNS
INTERNATIONAL MARKETING, INC. et al., Case No. 99 CVS 7343 filed in Mecklenburg
County, North Carolina Superior Court on May 13, 1999. The complaint alleges
that the Company breached the North Carolina Business Opportunity Sales and
Unfair Trade Practices Acts in connection with the plaintiff's purchase of a
distributorship business, and that the Company's subsequent decision to
terminate its contract with co-defendant HNS Marketing tortiously interfered
with plaintiff's relationship with HNS Marketing. Trial is set for March 12,
2001. The plaintiff has stated no exact amount of damages, although he alleges
to have paid approximately $22,500 for the services at issue in the lawsuit.
North Carolina's Business Opportunity Sales and Unfair Trade Practices Acts
provide for treble damages and attorneys' fees, in addition to compensatory
damages. We believe there is a reasonably good chance that the Company will
prevail, but there is no assurance that the Company will prevail.
From time to time, the Company is a party to routine litigation incidental
to its business. Management does not believe that any of these pending legal
proceedings and those listed above, individually or in the aggregate, will
materially impact the Company's financial condition or results of operations.
Item 2. Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds.
On September 6, 2000, the Company issued 25,000 shares of the Company's
common stock to consultants in exchange for services. The exemption relied upon
by the Company for these transactions is Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of
1933.
Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.
None.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to Vote of Security Holders.
On August 25, 2000 the Board of Directors of the Company approved a
one-for-two reverse split of the Company's issued and outstanding common stock.
On August 25, 2000, a majority of the shareholders holding 3,825,993 shares of
the Company's common stock, representing 55% of the 6,905,621 issued and
outstanding shares of the Company, approved an Amendment to the Company's
Articles of Incorporation, by written consent, providing for the one-for-two
reverse stock split. The reverse stock split became effective on August 30,
2000, when the Company filed the Amendment with the Secretary of State of
Florida.
