MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

      To date, management's efforts have been primarily directed toward
conducting research and development, applying for patent approvals, recruiting
employees, developing manufacturing and distribution arrangements for its
dietary supplement product and obtaining initial capital and financing, to fund
these activities. Management plans to transition the Company from the
development stage to the operating stage in the second and third quarters of
calendar 1997. The Company does not anticipate a significant change in the
number of employees.

      The research and development relating to the product and production
technology began in 1990 in a predecessor to LipoGenics, Inc., a Delaware
corporation ("LipoGenics") which was formed in July 1992. LipoGenics formed
NutraGenics, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("NutraGenics (Delaware)") in April
1994 pursuant to a rights offering to all LipoGenics shareholders. The purpose
of NutraGenics (Delaware) was to provide a vehicle to engage in manufacturing
and marketing of the technology developed by LipoGenics pursuant to a licensing
arrangement. NutraGenics (Delaware) merged in December 1994 into Nutrition
Technology Corporation, a Nevada corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of ERBA
Corporation ("ERBA"), a publicly traded Nevada corporation incorporated in 1983.
Although Nutrition Technology Corporation survived the merger, the merger was
accounted for as a reverse acquisition and the financials of NutraGenics
(Delaware) became the financials for the surviving corporation. ERBA had minimal
historical operations and as such the merger of its subsidiary with NutraGenics
(Delaware) had no impact on operations and operating results. ERBA changed its
name to NutraGenics, Inc. at the time of the merger. NutraGenics, Inc.
subsequently changed its name to Bionutrics on December 26, 1996.

      Bionutrics completed a merger with LipoGenics on October 31, 1996 and
LipoGenics became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The merger with
LipoGenics was accounted for as a pooling and as such Bionutrics accounts
reflect the historic operations of LipoGenics. Pursuant to the merger,
Bionutrics obtained ownership of the proprietary rights previously licensed to
it by LipoGenics.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three months ended January 31, 1997 and January 31, 1996

      There were no revenues recorded in the first quarter as the Company is
presently transitioning from research and development to sales and distribution.
The sale of its first product is targeted for April 1997.

      Consulting services were $288,441 for the quarter ended January 31, 1997
compared to $33,782 for the same period in 1996. This increase is primarily
attributable to expenditures relating to preparation for product introduction.

      Research and development expenses were $62,474 for the quarter ended
January 31, 1997 compared to $92,295 for the same period in 1996. This decrease
is due to lower levels of research and development as the Company is moving from
a research to a production mode.

      Other operating expenses were $956,323 for the quarter ended January 31,
1997 compared to $457,757 for the same period in 1996. This increase in other
operating expenses of $498,566 is due 


   
                                       4
    

<PAGE>   5
primarily to higher levels of salaries and travel expenses of $92,522, increased
advertising of $143,250 and legal expenses of $198,003. These additional costs
pertain to preparation for product introduction in the second quarter of 1997.

      Interest income was $55,992 for the quarter ended January 31, 1997
compared to $819 for the same period in 1996 due to increased levels of cash.

      Net loss increased to $(1,251,483) or $(.08) per share for the quarter
ended January 31, 1997 from $(598,940), or $(.06) per share, for the quarter
ended January 31, 1996 due to increased levels of expenses as outlined above.

Year ended December 31, 1994, 10 months ended October 31, 1995 and year ended
October 31, 1996

      Net losses for the Company were $294,194 for the 12 months ended December
31, 1994, $331,485 for the 10 months ended October 31, 1995 and $3,007,547 for
the 12 months ended October 31, 1996. Since inception the Company recorded net
losses of $5,139,991. Although minor revenues unrelated to product sales were
recorded during these periods, operating expenses increased in preparation for
the launch of the Company's product resulting in increasing losses being
recognized.

      Historic revenues represent amounts derived from a short-term agreement
licensing certain proprietary technology to an independent party and do not
pertain to the sale of any type of consumer product. There were no revenues
recorded for the 12 months ended December 31, 1994, $50,000 for the 10 months
ended October 31, 1995 and $20,000 for the 12 months ended October 31, 1996.
Since inception revenues were $72,448.

      As the timing for the product launch for evolvE approaches, management's
efforts, as outlined above, have accelerated resulting in additional
expenditures and investment in infrastructure. Expenses were $249,351 for the 12
months ended December 31, 1994, $341,900 for the 10 months ended October 31,
1995 and $2,996,880 for the 12 months ended October 31, 1996. Total expenses
since inception were $4,965,674. The largest components included in these
expenditures are research and development, salaries, consulting fees and
advertising. As a start up company, management recognizes the critical
importance of controlling and managing expenses and to that end has implemented
budget guidelines, integrated general ledger system and has employed a corporate
controller.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Three months ended January 31, 1997 and January 31, 1996

      Net cash used in operating activities during the quarter ended January 31,
1997 was $1,672,381 as compared to $317,804 during the same period in 1996. The
increase in cash used is primarily due to increased expenses incurred in
preparation for the launch of the Company's product in the second quarter.

      Net cash used in investing activities during the quarter ended January 31,
1997 was $849,271 as compared to $48,109 during the same period in 1996. This
increase is attributable to a $400,000 investment in a joint venture and capital
expenditures for manufacturing operations.

      The Company received proceeds from issuance of its Common Stock in the
quarter ended

January 31, 1997 of $1,366,304 versus $0 for the same period in 1996.

Year ended December 31, 1994, 10 months ended October 31, 1995 and year ended
October 31, 1996

      Net cash used in operating activities was $166,861 for the 12 months ended
December 31, 1994, $244,861 for the 10 months ended October 31, 1995 and
$2,185,267 for the 12 months ended October 31, 1996. Total net cash used in
operating activities since inception was $3,571,589. Cash used in operating
activities primarily related to the need to pay fees to professionals in the
course of research and development of the proprietary product, to develop
manufacturing capability, and to build the organization for the purpose of
selling the proprietary product.

      With regard to investing activities, the Company has had minimal
investments in property, a total of $91,900 since inception, and has incurred
notes receivable, most of which have been collected. Net cash used in investing
activities was $151,900 for the 12 months ended December 31, 1994, $61,800 for
the 10 months ended October 31, 1995 and cash provided for the 12 months ended
October 31, 1995 was $103,802. Total net cash used in investing activities since
inception was $109,898.

      Net cash provided by financing activities was $333,159 for the 12 months
ended December 31, 1994, $719,000 for the 10 months ended October 31, 1995 and
$7,330,625 for the 12 months ended October 31, 1996. Total net cash provided by
financing activities was $9,357,847 since inception. The Company has funded its
development stage costs primarily through the proceeds of private placements of
debt which was subsequently converted to Common Stock and the issuance of Common
Stock. The Company has liquidity to meet its business needs for the next year
based upon projections in its Business Plan. The primary business need is the
investment in infrastructure, manufacturing equipment and personnel.

      On October 31, 1996, the Company completed a Regulation S offering of
Common Stock in the amount of $5,000,000 to one overseas investor. The Company
has commitments for $6,000,000 of Common Stock from various overseas investors
pursuant to a second Regulation S offering. Of that amount, $4,200,000 has been
received.

      In addition to the projected recurring operating expenses in fiscal 1997
capital expenditures for production are estimated at $750,000. This capital
expenditure is a one-time cost of investment to prepare for production
requirements.

   
      Subsequent to October 31, 1996, the Company invested $400,000 in a joint
venture with InCon Technologies. On July 31, 1996, the Company entered into an
agreement with In Con Technologies, L.L.C. to form a limited liability company
("Joint Venture") to undertake the further research and development of certain
non-proprietary dietary supplements and other non-proprietary nutritional and
health promoting products and to manufacture, market and sell existing, as well
as newly developed supplements and products. The two companies will share
equally in the capital contribution, profits and losses derived, and management
of the Joint Venture. The investment is accounted for under the equity method.
The Company believes that the investment will be recovered through the sale of
products which the venture will produce. 
    

      The Company had no long-term debt as of October 31, 1996.

      As discussed in Note 1, the Company's continuation as a going concern is
dependent upon its ability to evolve from a development stage to an operating
stage company. To achieve the operating stage, management has developed a plan
which, if successful, will allow for the Company to generate sufficient cash
flow to meet its obligations on a timely basis, secure agreements regarding the
manufacturing and distribution of the dietary supplement product, obtain
additional equity financing as may be required, and ultimately, attain
profitable operations. The Company's marketing activities through an independent
broker network of five organizations has resulted in 34 orders for delivery in
April and May. The Company expects to invest $750,000 in the Louisiana
processing facility to reduce its reliance on outside processors and to contain
costs. The Company expects to hire 15 persons to operating the processing
facility. Management's projections for the next 12

months indicate that the cash generated from investors and sales of product are
more than sufficient to meet the requirements of operating expenses and capital
expenditures.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


Board of Directors
Bionutrics, Inc.
Phoenix, Arizona

We have audited the consolidated  balance sheets of Bionutrics,  Inc.  (formerly
NutraGenics,  Inc.) and subsidiaries (a development stage company) (collectively
referred to as the  "Company") as of October 31, 1995 and 1996,  and the related
consolidated  statements of operations,  stockholders' equity and cash flows for
the year ended  December 31, 1994,  the ten month period ended October 31, 1995,
the year ended  October 31, 1996 and for the period from February 22, 1990 (date
of inception) to October 31, 1996. These consolidated  financial  statements are
the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these consolidated  financial  statements based on our audits. The
consolidated  financial  statements  give  retroactive  effect to the  merger of
Bionutrics, Inc. and LipoGenics,  Inc., which has been accounted for in a manner
similar to a pooling of interests  as  described  in Note 1 to the  consolidated
financial  statements.  We did not audit the balance sheet of NutraGenics,  Inc.
("NutraGenics") as of October 31, 1995, or the related statements of operations,
stockholders'  equity and cash  flows of  NutraGenics  for the ten month  period
ended  October 31, 1995 and the period from April 5, 1994 (date of  NutraGenics'
inception)  to October  31,  1995,  which  statements  reflect  total  assets of
$1,093,000  as of October 31,  1995,  and no  revenues.  Those  statements  were
audited by other  auditors whose report,  dated December 22, 1995,  expressed an
unqualified  opinion on those  statements and included an explanatory  paragraph
that  described  the  substantial  doubt  surrounding  NutraGenics'  ability  to
continue as a going concern.  The other  auditors'  report has been furnished to
us,  and  our  opinion,  insofar  as it  relates  to the  amounts  included  for
NutraGenics  for such prior period,  is based solely on the report of such other
auditors.

We  conducted  our  audits  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 audits and the report of other auditors provide a reasonable
basis for our opinion.

In our  opinion,  based on our  audits  and the  report of other  auditors,  the
consolidated  financial  statements  referred to above  present  fairly,  in all
material respects, the financial position of the Company at October 31, 1995 and
1996,  and the  results  of their  operations  and their cash flows for the year
ended  December 31, 1994,  the ten month period ended October 31, 1995, the year
ended October 31, 1996 and the period from February 22, 1990 (date of inception)
to  October  31,  1996,  in  conformity  with  generally   accepted   accounting
principles.

The accompanying  consolidated  financial statements have been prepared assuming
that the Company will continue as a going concern.  The Company is a development
stage enterprise  engaged in developing and marketing dietary  supplements using
proprietary  technology.  As discussed in Note 1 to the  consolidated  financial
statements,  the Company's  operating  losses since inception raise  substantial
doubt  about its  ability to continue  as a going  concern.  Management's  plans
concerning  these  matters  are  also  described  in  Note 1.  The  consolidated
financial  statements do not include any adjustments  that might result from the
outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994, TEN MONTH PERIOD ENDED
OCTOBER 31, 1995, YEAR ENDED OCTOBER 31, 1996 AND
PERIOD FROM FEBRUARY 22, 1990 (DATE OF INCEPTION) TO OCTOBER 31, 1996


1.    ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

      BIONUTRICS,   INC.  ("BIONUTRICS")  -  Subsequent  to  October  31,  1996,
      NutraGenics,   Inc.   ("NutraGenics")  changed  its  name  to  Bionutrics.
      Bionutrics   and   its   wholly-owned   subsidiaries,   LipoGenics,   Inc.
      ("LipoGenics"),  Bionutrics Health Products, Inc. (formed in November 1996
      to market the Company's product), and Nutrition  Technologies  Corporation
      ("Nutrition Technologies")  (collectively referred to as the "Company") is
      considered  a  development  stage  company  under  Statement  of Financial
      Accounting  Standards  ("SFAS")  No. 7 since no revenues  have been earned
      from the Company's planned principle operations.

      Revenues to date  represent  amounts  derived from a short-term  agreement
      licensing  certain  proprietary  technology,  which  expired in 1996.  The
      planned principal operations are the development, manufacturing, marketing
      and  selling of dietary  supplements  using  proprietary  technology  (the
      "Technology").  The dietary  supplement that the Company will be producing
      and  marketing  is known as  Clearesterol.  The  product is expected to be
      marketed beginning in the second or third quarters of fiscal 1997.

      Effective  with the December 31, 1994 year-end,  the Company  changed to a
      fiscal year-end of October 31.

      The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a
      going concern basis,  which contemplates the realization of assets and the
      satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.  As shown in
      the consolidated financial statements,  during the year ended December 31,
      1994,  the ten month period ended October 31, 1995, the year ended October
      31, 1996 and the period from  February  22,  1990 (date of  inception)  to
      October  31,  1996,  the  Company  incurred  net  losses of  approximately
      $294,000, $331,000, $3,008,000 and $5,140,000,  respectively,  however, as
      of October 31, 1995 and 1996, the Company's  current  assets  exceeded its
      current   liabilities   by   approximately    $185,000   and   $4,740,000,
      respectively,  and its total  assets  exceeded  its total  liabilities  by
      approximately  $555,000 and $5,281,000,  respectively.  Losses incurred to
      date, the Company's development stage status and the uncertainty regarding
      the  potential  market for the  Company's  product may  indicate  that the
      Company  will be unable to  continue as a going  concern for a  reasonable
      period of time.

      The  consolidated  financial  statements  do not include  any  adjustments
      relating  to the  recoverability  and  classification  of  recorded  asset
      amounts or the amounts and  classification  of  liabilities  that might be
      necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The
      Company's continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to
      generate  sufficient  cash flow to meet its obligations on a timely basis,
      maintaining  adequate  financing,  and  ultimately  to  attain  successful
      operations.


                                      -9-
<PAGE>   19
      Management is continuing  its efforts to obtain  additional  funds so that
      the Company can meet its  obligations and sustain  operations  through the
      issuance of common stock in private nonregistered transactions. Subsequent
      to October 31, 1996, the Company obtained  $4,200,000  through an overseas
      common  stock  offering  and is in  process  of  obtaining  an  additional
      $1,800,000. In addition, management intends to further the Company through
      execution of various distribution and manufacturing agreements and through
      the development of nonsupplemental technology products.

      To  date,  management's  efforts  have  been  primarily  directed  towards
      obtaining  initial  capital and financing,  developing  manufacturing  and
      distribution  arrangements for its dietary supplement product,  conducting
      research and  development,  applying for patent  approvals and  recruiting
      employees.

      On July 13, 1992, LipoGenics, Inc. ("LipoGenics"),  a Delaware corporation
      incorporated on July 13, 1992,  acquired all of the outstanding  shares of
      the  common  stock of Pentad  Foods  International,  Ltd.  ("Pentad"),  an
      Arizona  corporation  incorporated  on February 22, 1990,  in exchange for
      64,400 shares of LipoGenics' common stock.

      On October 31, 1996, NutraGenics acquired LipoGenics, a company controlled
      by the controlling  stockholders  of NutraGenics,  through the exchange of
      2,092,743 shares of its common stock for all 211,111 shares of outstanding
      common  stock of  LipoGenics.  LipoGenics  had  previously  developed  the
      technology  and  was the  owner  of  patent  applications  underlying  the
      technology.  The business  combination  has been accounted for in a manner
      similar to a  pooling-of-interests,  and,  accordingly,  the  consolidated
      financial  statements  for  periods  prior to the  combination  have  been
      restated  to  include  the  results  of   LipoGenics.   In  October  1994,
      NutraGenics  issued  1,202,886 shares of its common stock to LipoGenics in
      consideration  for a license  agreement under which  NutraGenics was given
      the right to produce and market products.  As a result of the pooling, the
      common  stock of  NutraGenics  owned  by  LipoGenics,  now a  wholly-owned
      subsidiary, has been classified as treasury stock.

      LipoGenics and its predecessors  effectively  commenced operations in 1990
      and NutraGenics effectively commenced operations in 1994. Accordingly, the
      financial  statements  reflect the accumulated  losses of both NutraGenics
      and LipoGenics.

2.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

      PRINCIPLES  OF  CONSOLIDATION  -  The  consolidated  financial  statements
      include  the  amounts of  Bionutrics  and its  wholly-owned  subsidiaries,
      LipoGenics,  and  Nutrition  Technologies.  All  significant  intercompany
      balances and transactions have been eliminated.

      USE OF ESTIMATES - 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  disclosures 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.

      CASH AND CASH  EQUIVALENTS - The Company  considers all highly liquid debt
      instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to
      be cash and cash equivalents.

      PROPERTY AND  DEPRECIATION - Property is stated at cost.  Depreciation  is
      computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of
      the individual assets, which range from three to five years.  Expenditures
      for additions are  capitalized.  Expenditures  of a repair and maintenance
      nature are expensed when incurred.


                                      -10-
<PAGE>   20

      LICENSING  FEES - The Company  recognizes  licensing  fees as revenue over
      the license term.


      PATENTS  - Legal and  other  costs  related  to  patent  applications  are
      capitalized as incurred and amortized using a straight-line  basis over 17
      years  commencing  at  the  date  patent  approval  is  obtained.  Patents
      currently  capitalized  and  unamortized  relate to both the processes and
      products associated with the Company's business.

      INCOME TAXES are  accounted  for under the asset and  liability  approach,
      which can  result in  recording  tax  provisions  or  benefits  in periods
      different  from the  periods  in which  such  taxes  are paid or  benefits
      realized.  Deferred  federal income taxes result  principally from certain
      tax carryforwards that are recognized for financial  reporting purposes in
      different years than for income tax reporting purposes.

      RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT - The cost of research and development is charged
      to expense as incurred.

      FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - The fair values of notes receivable,
      accounts  payable,  accrued  compensation  and other  accrued  liabilities
      approximate  the  carrying  value  due to the  short-term  nature of these
      instruments.

      STOCK  OPTIONS  have been  accounted  for in  accordance  with  Accounting
      Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.
      Options granted to consultants or independent  contractors are recorded as
      expense,  based on the fair  market  value  of the  stock,  at the date of
      grant.

      NEWLY ISSUED  ACCOUNTING  PRONOUNCEMENT  - In October 1995,  SFAS No. 123,
      Accounting  for  Stock  Based  Compensation,  was  issued.  SFAS  No.  123
      establishes  a fair  value  based  method of  accounting  for  stock-based
      compensation plans and the related disclosures. The Company is required to
      adopt the  disclosure  requirements  of SFAS No.  123 for the year  ending
      October 31,  1997,  as they relate to  employee  stock based  compensation
      plans.  The Company has not completed the process of evaluating the impact
      that will result from SFAS No. 123, but no material  impact on the results
      of operations or the financial condition of the Company is expected.  SFAS
      No. 123 is effective for non-employee  stock based  compensation plans for
      all transactions entered into after December 15, 1995.

3.    NOTES RECEIVABLE

      At October 31, 1996, a stockholder  and employee owes the Company  $16,665
      on a note receivable.  Principal plus interest  calculated at 8% per annum
      are due on or before April 30, 1998.

      Notes  receivable of $147,000 and the related accrued  interest at October
      31,  1995,  were  converted to  compensation  during the fiscal year ended
      October 31, 1996 and recorded as  compensation  expense.  Remaining  notes
      receivable of $50,000 at October 31, 1995, from a stockholder, were repaid
      during 1996.

4.    NOTE PAYABLE

      At October  31,  1995,  the  Company  had a note  payable of $250,000 to a
      stockholder of the Company and during 1996, the same stockholder  advanced
      an  additional  $350,000 to the Company.  Prior to October 31,  1996,  the
      stockholder  exercised  the right and option under the note  agreements to
      accept as repayment  400,000  shares of  unregistered  common stock of the
      Company at a price of $1.50 per share.

5.    STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

      On December 29, 1994, Erba Corporation ("Erba"), a Nevada corporation with
      no  operations,  acquired  all  143,204  shares  of the  common  stock  of
      NutraGenics,  Inc., a Delaware  corporation  incorporated on April 5, 1994
      ("NutraGenics  - Delaware"),  in exchange for  7,134,066  shares of Erba's
      common  stock.  Erba  then  changed  its  name to  NutraGenics,  Inc.  For
      accounting   purposes,   the   acquisition   has   been   treated   as   a
      reverse-acquisition  of Erba by NutraGenics - Delaware with  NutraGenics -
      Delaware  being  treated  as  the  acquiror  ("reverse-acquisition").  The
      historical  financial  statements prior to December 29, 1994, are those of
      NutraGenics - Delaware.  The pro forma effects of the  acquisition for the
      period prior to the acquisition are not significant.

      EMPLOYEE  STOCK-BASED  COMPENSATION  - At October  31,  1995,  the Company
      granted  180,000  options to a  stockholder  and board  member to purchase
      shares of the Company's  unregistered common stock at an exercise price of
      $1.50 per share for a period of three years  commencing  October 31, 1995.
      No options under this agreement have been exercised at October 31, 1996.


      At October 31, 1996,  the Company  authorized  1,900,000  shares of common
      stock for  issuance  under its 1996 Stock Option Plan (the "1996 Plan") to
      key personnel,  consultants and independent  contractors.  The incentive
      stock options are granted to purchase  common  stock at 100% (110% for an
      optionee  who is a 10%  stockholder)  of the fair  market  value of the
      stock on the date of grant.  Non-qualified stock options are granted to
      purchase common stock at a price determined by the plan administrator.
      Options granted under this plan can be exercisable for a period of up to
      ten years from the date of grant (five  years for an option  granted to a
      10%  stockholder).  All  participants  are eligible to receive  stock
      awards and stock appreciation rights, as to be determined by the Company's
      board of  directors.  At October 31, 1996,  1,223,000  options with a five
      year  exercise  period and an option  price of $5 were  granted  under the
      plan. These options vest equally over a three year period from the date of
      grant.  No stock  awards or stock  appreciation  rights have been  granted
      under the plan.  No  options  under the 1996 Plan have been  exercised  at
      October 31, 1996.


      NONEMPLOYEE  STOCK-BASED  COMPENSATION  - At July 21,  1992,  the  Company
      granted  110,144  options  to a  stockholder  to  purchase  shares  of the
      Company's  unregistered common stock at a total exercise price of $150,000
      expiring  on the  earlier of July 21,  2002,  or a public  offering of the
      Company's  shares of common  stock,  none of which have been  exercised at
      October 31, 1996. Options to another stockholder under a similar agreement
      were fully exercised at October 31, 1996.

      In May 1996, the Company  granted  600,000  warrants to a stockholder  and
      board member to purchase  shares of common  stock at an exercise  price of
      $2.50  per share for the  first  300,000  shares  and $4 per share for the
      remaining 300,000 shares in exchange for consulting services rendered,  or
      to be rendered,  to the Company. Of the 600,000 warrants granted,  200,000
      became  exercisable at the date of grant and the remaining warrants become
      exercisable at a rate of 50,000 per quarter commencing August 1996 through
      May 1998. All warrants have ten year exercise  periods.  The fair value of
      each  warrant is  estimated  on the date of grant using the  Black-Scholes
      pricing model with the following  weighted  average  assumptions  used for
      grants in 1996: risk free interest rate of 6%; expected  dividend yield of
      0%;  expected  life  of  five  years;  and,  expected  volatility  of 60%.
      Compensation  related to warrants  granted at fair market  value  totaling
      $87,500 was expensed during 1996. None of the warrants  granted under this
      agreement have been exercised at October 31, 1996.

6.    INCOME TAXES

      The Company had no income tax liability at December 31, 1994,  October 31,
      1995 or 1996, as it has generated operating losses to date. At October 31,
      1996,  the  Company had  available  for federal  income tax  purposes  the
      following tax carryforwards:

JOINT VENTURE

   

On July 31, 1996, the Company entered into an agreement with InCon Technologies,
L.L.C. to form a limited liability company ("joint venture") to undertake the
further research and development of certain non-proprietary dietary supplements
and other non-proprietary nutritional and health promoting products and to
manufacture, market and sell existing, as well as newly developed supplements
and products. The two companies will share equally in the capital contributions,
profits and losses derived, and management of the joint venture. No costs were
incurred prior to October 31, 1996, however, approximately $400,000 was incurred
subsequent to year-end. The investment is accounted for under the equity method.
The Company believes that the investment will be recovered through the sale of
products which the joint venture will produce.

                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A-     The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have
            been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
            principles for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do
            not included all the information and footnotes required by
            generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
            statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which
            include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present
            fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash
            flows for all periods presented have been made. The results of
            operations for the three month period ended January 31, 1997 are
            not necessarily indicative of the operating results that may be
            expected for the entire year ending October 31, 1997. These
            financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
            Company's October 31, 1996 financial statements and accompanying
            notes thereto.

NOTE B-     Net Loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted
            average number of common shares assumed outstanding during the
            three-month periods. Options and warrants are excluded from the net
            loss per share calculation as they are anti-dilutive.

            stock during the quarter ended January 31, 1997. This capital stock

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three months ended January 31, 1997 and January 31, 1996

         There were no revenues recorded in the first quarter as the Company is
presently transitioning from research and development to sales and distribution.
The sale of its first product is targeted for April 1997.

         Consulting services were $288,441 for the quarter ended January 31,
1997 compared to $33,782 for the same period in 1996. This increase is primarily
attributable to expenditures relating to preparation for product introduction.

         Research and development expenses were $62,474 for the quarter ended
January 31, 1997 compared to $92,295 for the same period in 1996. This decrease
is due to lower levels of research and development as the Company is moving from
a research to a production mode.

         Other operating expenses were $956,323 for the quarter ended January
31, 1997 compared to $457,757 for the same period in 1996. This increase in
operating expenses is due primarily to higher levels of salaries and related
costs for anticipated product sales and distribution in the second quarter of
1997.

         Interest income was $55,992 for the quarter ended January 31, 1997
compared to $819 for the same period in 1996 due to increased levels of cash.

         Net loss increased to $(1,251,483) or $(.08) per share for the quarter
ended January 31, 1997 from $(598,940), or $(.06) per share, for the quarter
ended January 31, 1996 due to increased levels of expenses as outlined above.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Three months ended January 31, 1997 and January 31, 1996

         Net cash used in operating activities during the quarter ended January
31, 1997 was $1,672,381 as compared to $317,804 during the same period in 1996.
The increase in cash used is primarily due to increased expenses incurred in
preparation for the launch of the Company's product in the second quarter.

         Net cash used in investing activities during the quarter ended January
31, 1997 was $849,271 as compared to $48,109 during the same period in 1996.
This increase is attributable to a $400,000 investment in a joint venture and
capital expenditures for manufacturing operations.

         The Company received proceeds from issuance of its Common Stock in the
quarter ended January 31, 1997 of $1,366,304 versus $0 for the same period in
1996.
