                         Report of Independent Auditors

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Jones Medical Industries, Inc.

We have  audited the  accompanying  combined  balance  sheet of The  Nutritional
Business (a business unit of Jones Medical Industries,  Inc.) as of December 31,
1997, and the related combined statements of income and business unit equity and
cash flows for the year ended December 31, 1997. These financial  statements are
the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards  require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance   about  whether  the  financial   statements  are  free  of  material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion,  based on our audit, the combined financial  statements referred
to above  present  fairly,  in all material  respects,  the  combined  financial
position  of  The  Nutritional  Business  (a  business  unit  of  Jones  Medical
Industries,  Inc.)  at  December  31,  1997,  and the  combined  results  of its
operations  and its cash  flows  for the year then  ended,  in  conformity  with
generally accepted accounting principles.

                            The Nutritional Business
               (a business unit of Jones Medical Industries, Inc.)

                     Notes to Combined Financial Statements
                          (Dollar amounts in thousands)

                                December 31, 1997

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying combined financial statements include the assets,  liabilities,
revenues, and expenses of the following business units (collectively referred to
as The Nutritional  Business or the Company) of Jones Medical  Industries,  Inc.
(JMED):

         JMI-Phoenix, Inc.
         Bronson Pharmaceutical mail order division
         MD Pharmaceutical division

All   significant   interdivisional   transactions   have  been   eliminated  in
combination.   The  Nutritional   Business  is  engaged  in  the  manufacturing,
marketing, and sale of vitamins and nutritional  supplements,  and its principal
customers  include  consumers,  vitamin  and health food  distributors,  and the
United  States  government.  Sales  to  the  United  States  government  totaled
approximately   $1,991  in  1997.  In  addition,   one  customer  accounted  for
approximately 14 percent of The Nutritional Business's sales in 1997.

The Nutritional  Business is allocated amounts from JMED for corporate  overhead
charges  and  income  taxes.  Corporate  charges,  which  are  allocated  to The
Nutritional Business on specific identification,  headcount,  square footage, or
other formulas,  totaled $683 in 1997. Corporate charges are included in general
and administrative expenses in the accompanying financial statements.

In the opinion of  management,  these  allocations  of  expenses  were made on a
reasonable basis. However,  these allocations are not necessarily  indicative of
the level of expenses which may have been incurred had The Nutritional  Business
operated as a separate entity.

Business unit equity includes JMED's investment in The Nutritional Business, net
cash  transfers  between  The  Nutritional  Business  and  JMED  or  other  JMED
affiliates  for cash  generated  from  operations,  cash  transfers  for working
capital and asset purchases,  corporate charges,  and cumulative earnings of The
Nutritional  Business.   Additionally,   current  or  deferred  tax  assets  and
liabilities are included in business unit equity.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

CASH

JMED utilizes a centralized cash management  system to provide  financing to its
operations,  including those of The Nutritional  Business.  Cash requirements of
The  Nutritional  Business  are  satisfied  by  transactions  with  JMED.  These
transactions are included in business unit equity in the accompanying  financial
statements.  JMED does not charge The  Nutritional  Business  interest  on these
transactions.  At December 31, 1997,  there were no cash  balances  specifically
attributable to The Nutritional Business.

INVENTORIES

Inventories  are valued at the lower of cost or market with cost  determined  on
the first-in, first-out basis.

PROPERTY, PLANT, AND EQUIPMENT

Property, plant, and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed by
the straight-line method over the useful lives of the assets as follows:

              ASSET CATEGORY                       ESTIMATED USEFUL LIFE
- ------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------
Buildings and improvements                            15-40 years
Equipment and furniture                               5-15 years
Automobiles                                           5 years

INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The cost of  product  line or  business  acquisitions  accounted  for  using the
purchase method of accounting is allocated first to the identifiable  assets and
liabilities  based on the  estimated  fair  values.  The excess of cost over the
identifiable  assets and  liabilities is recorded as goodwill.  Amortization  is
provided by the  straight-line  method over the estimated useful lives of assets
as follows:

                     ASSET CATEGORY                       ESTIMATED USEFUL LIFE
- ------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------
Customer lists                                                   20 years
Distribution systems, trademarks, and trade names              10-20 years
Restrictive covenants and other intangibles                     5-10 years
Goodwill                                                         40 years

The Company  continually  reevaluates  the  propriety of the carrying  amount of
goodwill and other  intangibles  as well as the related  amortization  period to
determine  whether current events and circumstances  warrant  adjustments to the
carrying  values and/or revised  estimates of useful lives.  This  evaluation is
based on the Company's  projection of the  undiscounted  operating income before
depreciation, amortization, and interest over the remaining amortization periods

<PAGE>


INTANGIBLE ASSETS (CONTINUED)

of related  goodwill and intangible  assets.  The  projections  are based on the
historical  trend line of actual  results since the date of  acquisition  of the
respective assets and adjusted for expected changes in operating results.

To the extent such projections  indicate that the undiscounted  operating income
(as defined  above) is not  expected  to be  adequate  to recover  the  carrying
amounts of related  intangibles,  such  carrying  amounts  are  written  down by
charges  to expense in  amounts  equal to the excess of the  carrying  amount of
intangible  assets over the  respective  fair values.  At this time, the Company
believes that no reduction of the estimated useful lives is warranted.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Sales are  reported,  net of returns,  during the period in which the product is
shipped to the customer.  Product  returns are  permitted  pursuant to a limited
money-back refund policy applicable to mail order and other sales of nutritional
products.  At December  31,  1997,  the Company  maintained a reserve of $30 for
product returns.

DIRECT-RESPONSE ADVERTISING

Costs associated with the production of the Company's direct-response mail order
catalog are capitalized  and amortized over the period of future benefit,  which
typically does not extend beyond six months. At December 31, 1997, approximately
$212 of  capitalized  catalog  costs are  included in the  accompanying  balance
sheet. Total expenses associated with the catalog in 1997 totaled $1,155.

INCOME TAXES

The results of  operations  of The  Nutritional  Business are included in JMED's
consolidated U.S. federal and applicable state income tax returns.  Income taxes
recorded  in  the  accompanying   financial  statements  represent  management's
estimate of the taxes The Nutritional  Business would have incurred had it filed
on a separate return basis.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

Since  there  is no  separate  capitalization,  nor  are  any  shares  of  stock
specifically  attributable  to The  Nutritional  Business upon which a per share
calculation  can be  based,  earnings  per  share  data is not  provided  in the
accompanying financial statements.

USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The preparation of financial  statements in conformity  with generally  accepted
accounting principles requires management to make 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  amounts of revenues  and expenses  during the  reporting  period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

                            The Nutritional Business
               (a business unit of Jones Medical Industries, Inc.)

                     Notes to Combined Financial Statements
                          (Dollar amounts in thousands)

                                 March 31, 1998
                                   (Unaudited)

1. GENERAL

The unaudited interim financial information reflects all adjustments (consisting
only of normal recurring  accruals) which management  considers  necessary for a
fair  presentation  of the results of operations for such periods and is subject
to year-end  adjustments.  Certain  footnote  disclosures  normally  included in
financial  statements  prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted from the unaudited  interim  financial
information as permitted by rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission.  Management  believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make
the information presented not misleading. The results for the interim period are
not  necessarily  indicative of results for the full year. It is suggested  that
these financial  statements be read in conjunction with The Nutritional Business
audited  financial  statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31,
1997.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying combined financial statements include the assets,  liabilities,
revenues, and expenses of the following business units (collectively referred to
as The Nutritional  Business or the Company) of Jones Medical  Industries,  Inc.
(JMED):

                JMI-Phoenix, Inc.
                Bronson Pharmaceutical mail order division
                MD Pharmaceutical division

All   significant   interdivisional   transactions   have  been   eliminated  in
combination.   The  Nutritional   Business  is  engaged  in  the  manufacturing,
marketing, and sale of vitamins and nutritional  supplements,  and its principal
customers  include  consumers,  vitamin  and health food  distributors,  and the
United  States  government.  Sales  to  the  United  States  government  totaled
approximately  $456 for the three months ended March 31, 1998. In addition,  one
customer  accounted for  approximately 11 percent of The Nutritional  Business's
sales during the three months ended March 31, 1998.

The Nutritional  Business is allocated amounts from JMED for corporate  overhead
charges  and  income  taxes.  Corporate  charges,  which  are  allocated  to The
Nutritional Business on specific identification,  headcount,  square footage, or
other  formulas,  totaled  $184 for the  three  months  ended  March  31,  1998.


<PAGE>

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION (CONTINUED)

Corporate  charges are  included in general and  administrative  expenses in the
accompanying financial statements.

In the opinion of  management,  these  allocations  of  expenses  were made on a
reasonable basis. However,  these allocations are not necessarily  indicative of
the level of expenses which may have been incurred had The Nutritional  Business
operated as a separate entity.

Business unit equity includes JMED's investment in The Nutritional Business, net
cash  transfers  between  The  Nutritional  Business  and  JMED  or  other  JMED
affiliates  for cash  generated  from  operations,  cash  transfers  for working
capital and asset purchases,  corporate charges,  and cumulative earnings of The
Nutritional  Business.   Additionally,   current  or  deferred  tax  assets  and
liabilities are included in business unit equity.

3.   INVENTORIES

Inventories  are valued at the lower of cost or market with cost  determined  on
the first-in, first-out basis.

     Inventories at March 31, 1998, are comprised of the following:

                Raw materials                                $    4,040
                Work-in-process                                     676
                Finished goods                                    2,218
                                                             ----------
                                                             $    6,934
                                                             ==========

4.   INCOME TAXES

The results of  operations  of The  Nutritional  Business are included in JMED's
consolidated U.S. federal and applicable state income tax returns.  Income taxes
recorded  in  the  accompanying   financial  statements  represent  management's
estimate of the taxes The Nutritional  Business would have incurred had it filed
on a separate return basis.

5.   EARNINGS PER SHARE

Since  there  is no  separate  capitalization,  nor  are  any  shares  of  stock
specifically  attributable  to The  Nutritional  Business upon which a per share
calculation  can be  based,  earnings  per  share  data is not  provided  in the
accompanying financial statements.

6.   RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The  Nutritional  Business had purchases and sales of various  products  to/from
other JMED affiliates during the three months ended March 31, 1998 as follows:

                Sales to JMED affiliates                         $   67
                Purchases from JMED affiliates                   $   17


<PAGE>


6.   RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (CONTINUED)

Sales and purchases  among JMED affiliates are transacted at the cost to produce
the product.

During the three months ended March 31, 1998, The Nutritional Business had sales
totaling $284 to Jones Products  International,  Inc.(JPI).  JPI is owned by the
son of JMED's significant  shareholders.  At March 31, 1998,  approximately $178
was  receivable  from JPI, for which the payment terms were  one-third due in 30
days, one-third due in 60 days, and the balance due in 90 days.

7.   CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS

The  Nutritional  Business is included in JMED's product  liability  coverage of
$20,000 per occurrence,  $20,000 in the aggregate, plus a $5,000 umbrella policy
on a "claims-made"  basis.  There is no assurance that this insurance will cover
any  potential  claims  that may be asserted in the  future.  In  addition,  The
Nutritional  Business is subject to legal  claims  which  arise in the  ordinary
course of its business.

The Nutritional Business leases warehouse space under a noncancelable  operating
lease agreement expiring August 31, 1999. Future minimum lease payments at March
31, 1998, are $20 in 1998 and $9 in 1999.

8.   SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On April 30, 1998, JMED sold to Twin Laboratories, Inc. the Nutritional Business
for $55,000, subject to post-closing working capital adjustments.

          UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information gives
pro forma effect to: (i) the completion of the acquisition of substantially  all
of the assets and  assumption  of certain  liabilities  of the Bronson  division
(consisting  of  the  following  business  units:  JMI-Phoenix,   Inc.,  Bronson
Pharmaceutical mail order division and MD Pharmaceutical  division)  ("Bronson")
of Jones Medical Industries,  Inc. (the "Acquisition");  and (ii) the completion
of a public  offering of 9,200,000  shares of common stock,  of which  4,971,251
were sold by certain of the  Company's  stockholders  (the  "Offering")  and the
application  of  estimated  net proceeds  therefrom,  as if they had occurred at
January  1, 1997 with  respect to the  unaudited  pro forma  condensed  combined
statements of operations and as if they had occurred March 31, 1998 with respect
to the unaudited pro forma  condensed  combined  balance  sheet.  This pro forma
information  should  be  read  in  conjunction  with  the  historical  financial
statements of Twinlab  Corporation  ("Twinlab" or the "Company") included in its
Annual  Report  on Form 10-K for the year  ended  December  31,  1997 and in its
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 1998, and the
historical financial statements of Bronson appearing elsewhere herein.

The pro forma adjustments  reflecting the consummation of the Acquisition on the
purchase method of accounting are based on available  financial  information and
certain  estimates and  assumptions  set forth in the notes to the Unaudited Pro
Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.

The following  unaudited pro forma condensed  combined  information is presented
for illustration  purposes only and is not necessarily  indicative of the future
financial  position or results of operations  of the combined  businesses or the
financial  position or results of operations of the combined  businesses had the
Acquisition  and  the  Offering  occurred  on the  dates  discussed  above.  The
Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial  Information reflects Twinlab's
best estimates of the  allocation of the purchase price to Bronson's  assets and
liabilities;  however,  the actual financial  position and results of operations
may differ from the pro forma amounts.
