INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REVIEW REPORT
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
of Hand Brand Distribution, Inc.
Miami, Florida
We have reviewed the accompanying balance sheet of Hand Brand Distribution, Inc.
(a Florida corporation) as of March 31, 2000, and the related statements of
operations, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the three months
then ended, in accordance with Statements on Standards for Accounting and Review
Services issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. All
information included in these financial statements is the representation of the
management of Hand Brand Distribution, Inc.
A review consists principally of inquiries of company personnel and analytical
procedures applied to financial data. It is substantially less in scope than an
audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of
which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken
as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to the accompanying March 31, 2000 financial statements in order for
them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
The financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1999 were audited by
us, and we expressed an unqualified opinion on our report dated February 7,
2000, but we have not performed any auditing procedures since that date.

NOTE 1 UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting

instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 310(b) of Regulation SB.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnote disclosures normally included in complete financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. For further information, such as
significant accounting policies followed by the Company, refer

In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial

normal, recurring accruals) for a fair presentation of the

necessarily indicative of operating results to be expected for
a full year.

POLICIES - CONTINUED
USE OF ESTIMATES IN PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The preparation of the accompanying financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions
that directly affect the results of reported assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities as of the balance sheet date, and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses for the period presented.
Actual results could differ from these estimates.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company considers all cash and cash equivalents highly
liquid investments with an original maturity of three months
or less to be cash equivalents.
INVENTORY
The inventory of the Company is recorded at average cost and
includes nutritional supplements, cleaning and hygiene
products and raw materials from the acquisition of The
Rockland Corporation, doing business as Lifetime Water.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company's products are manufactured to specific customer
orders, and revenues are recognized when the products are
shipped. Revenue is reduced for estimated customer returns and
allowances.
The Company publishes a catalog of its products for mail order
marketing, which includes articles on the health benefits of
its products. Subscriptions are for two-year periods, and
revenue is recognized when the subscription order is received.
Unearned subscription revenue is amortized using the
straight-line method over the term of the subscription. The
amount of the subscription revenue was not material in any
year.
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
The Company considers accounts receivable to be fully
collectible. Accordingly, no allowance for doubtful accounts
is required. If amounts become uncollectible, they will be
charged to operations when that determination is made.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT AND DEPRECIATION
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is
computed by using the straight-line method based over the
assets estimated useful lives as follows:
Furniture and fixtures 5 - 10 years
INTANGIBLE ASSETS
The Company continually evaluates the carrying value of
goodwill and other intangible assets to determine whether
there are any impairment losses. If indicators of impairment
are present in intangible assets used in operations, and
future cash flows are not expected to be sufficient to recover
the assets' carrying amount, an impairment loss would be
charged to expense in the period identified.
No reduction for impairment of intangible assets was necessary
at March 31, 2000.
AMORTIZATION
Amortization of trademarks and goodwill is determined
utilizing the straight-line method based generally on the
estimated useful lives of the intangibles as follows:
Trademarks 15 years
Goodwill 15 years
CREDIT RISK
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to
credit risk include cash on deposit with two financial
institutions amounting to $10,369 at March 31, 2000, which was
insured for up to $200,000 by the U.S. Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation (FDIC).

ITEM 2
Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction
with the financial statements and notes thereto that appear elsewhere herein.
We generate revenues from two sources: Subscription revenue from the
publication Family Health News comprises 1.4% of our revenue and the sale of
products comprise 98.6% of our revenue. All products other than our water filter
line are purchased from other manufacturers. We seek distributor pricing from
our vendors that is typically 42% of the manufacturers suggested retail price.
This enables us to have sufficient margin after selling costs still make a
profit.
Sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 were $78,947 a 16.5%
increase over sales for the quarter ender March 31, 1999. Decrease was due to a
reduced level of sales activity. This increase is attributed to sales generated
over the internet and an increase in wholesale purchases. This trend is expected
to increase as Hand Brand develops its direct sales organization during 2000.
Cost of goods sold as a percentage of sales was 35.6% for the quarter
ended March 31, 2000 as compared to 44.2% for the quarter ended March 31, 1999
reflecting a greater proportion of sales being from private label products.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $97,269 for the
quarter ended March 31, 2000. This was 123% of sales compared to 131% of sales
for the quarter ended March 31, 1999. This decrease was due primarily to
decreased marketing expenses during the quarter.
