             NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 (Unaudited)

Note A -    The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial
            Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting
            principles generally accepted in the United States of America for
            interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q.
            Accordingly, they do not include all the information and
            footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in
            the United States of America 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 nine-month period ended July 31, 2000 are not necessarily
            indicative of the operating results that may be expected for the
            entire year ending October 31, 2000.  These financial statements
            should be read in conjunction with the Company's financial
            statements and accompanying notes thereto as of and for the year
            ended October 31, 1999.  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.  The Company has
            incurred operating losses since inception through July 31, 2000
            of $34,461,688 which have been funded through the issuance of
            stock and debt.  The losses incurred to date, the uncertainty
            regarding the ability to raise additional capital and the
            Company's inability to generate positive cash flows from
            operations may indicate that the Company will be unable to
            continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

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

NOTE C -    In December 1999 and June 2000, the Company borrowed $500,000 and
            $250,000, respectively, on a short-term basis from a director.
            The loans are demand loans and bear interest at the rate of 9.5%
            annually.  In April 2000, the Company borrowed $150,000 from an
            unrelated third party.  The loan bears no interest but is subject
            to a $50,000 fee payable at the time of the loan repayment.
            Repayment of both the loan and fee are contingent upon the
            receipt of future funding by the Company.

NOTE D -    In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, Accounting for
            Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS No. 133
            requires that an enterprise recognize all derivatives as either
            assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and
            measure those instruments at fair value.




                                       6
<PAGE>   7
            Subsequent to the issuance of SFAS 133, the FASB has received many
            requests to clarify certain issues causing difficulties in
            implementation. In June 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 138 which
            responds to those requests by amending certain provisions of SFAS
            133. The statements are effective for the Company's fiscal year
            beginning November 1, 2000. SFAS 133, as amended by SFAS 138, is not
            expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated
            financial statements.

Note E -    In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission released
            Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in
            Financial Statements", that summarizes the SEC's views in
            applying generally accepted accounting principles to revenue
            recognition in financial statements.  Adoption of SAB 101 is not
            expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial
            position, results of operations or cash flows.

Note F -    Subsequent to the period ended July 31, 2000, the Company and a
            private investor entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement
            dated September 7, 2000, for the future issuance and purchase of
            shares of the Company's common stock and warrants.  The Agreement
            permits the Company, in its sole discretion, and subject to
            certain restrictions, to sell up to an aggregate of 4,000,000
            shares, with a maximum amount for each sale not to exceed
            $1,000,000 each month, based on a formula of weighted average
            price and total trading volume for a given period.  Pricing is
            based on current market prices at the time of draw downs
            discounted 7-10% based on the Company's market capitalization.
            The period during which the Company can make such sales is for a
            two-year period beginning upon the effective date of a
            registration statement for the resale of the shares.

            In connection with the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company
            has issued warrants for the purchase of 200,000 shares of common
            stock exercisable at $1.535 per share and has issued 25,000 shares
            of its common stock in payment of fees and expenses of the investor.

            The Company intends to use the proceeds of the offering for general
            corporate and working capital purposes.

THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION OF THE COMPANY'S FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS INCLUDES CERTAIN FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS. WHEN USED IN THIS
REPORT, THE WORDS "EXPECTS," "INTENDS," "PLANS" AND "ANTICIPATES" AND SIMILAR
TERMS ARE INTENDED TO IDENTIFY FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS THAT RELATE TO THE

TO, THOSE DISCUSSED UNDER "BUSINESS-SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS" IN THE COMPANY'S
FORM 10-K.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three months ended July 31, 2000 compared with three months ended July 31, 1999.

Consolidated gross revenues for the quarter ended July 31, 2000 were $68,000
versus $837,000 for the same quarter in 1999, summarized by subsidiary as
follows:

                                                      ========          ========
</TABLE>


InCon Technologies (InCon) decrease in revenues is attributable to the new 50/50
venture entered into during the third quarter of fiscal 1999 with AC HUMKO
CORP., wherein InCon transferred substantially all of its assets to a newly
formed limited liability company, InCon Processing, LLC ("InCon Processing").
InCon Processing took over substantially all of the business previously engaged
in by InCon related to toll processing, molecular separation, and the design and
sale of molecular separation facilities. Consequently, revenues for the 3 months
ended July 31, 2000 are zero as compared to the same three months in 1999 of
$701,000. However, as a result of its investment in InCon Processing, InCon will
be entitled to 50% of the future profits or losses. These profits and losses are
reflected in "Other Income(Expense)" on the Statement of Operations. It




                                       8
<PAGE>   9
is anticipated that InCon Processing will retain the cash generated from
operations for at least the next 12 months to expand and develop its business.

Bionutrics Health Products continues to experience a significant decline in
sales due to curtailment of advertising and support for the brand evolvE(R) as a
result of financial constraints. The Company recognizes that a substantial
advertising program is necessary to maintain significant sales of the evolvE(R)
product line, and that failure to show positive sales results will have a
negative impact on the maintenance of its accounts. In addition, some accounts
have returned the product due to low volume activity.

The Company is repositioning itself as a product development company and as such
is engaged in discussions with several potential marketing partners involving
evolvE(R) and future branded products including dietary supplements and
functional food products. New products will be based on new technology extending
beyond a tocotrienol platform.

LipoGenics revenues for the three months ended July 31, 2000 are attributable to
a Phase I Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant from the National
Heart, Blood and Lung Institute. As this is the first such grant received by
LipoGenics, there are no revenues shown for the same period in 1999.

Cost of revenues for the three months ended July 31, 2000 was $120,000 versus
$534,000 for the same quarter in 1999. This reduction is primarily due to the
new 50/50 venture entered into with AC HUMKO, which substantially took over all
of the business engaged in by InCon. Cost of revenues for the third quarter of
2000 was negatively impacted by the one-time adjustment to inventory of $108,000
to reflect market value.

Operating expenses for the three months ended July 31, 2000 of $560,000 were
$1,095,000 less than that recognized for the same quarter in 1999 of $1,655,000.
This reduction is due to significantly reduced salaries, cost curtailment
programs, as well as the 50/50 venture entered into during the third quarter of
1999 with AC HUMKO.

Other income for the three months ended July 31, 2000 was $15,000 versus a net
expense of $3,000 for the same quarter in 1999. This $18,000 increase is
primarily due to the Company's recognition of its share of InCon Processing's
net income for the 3 months ended July 31, 2000. The Company uses the equity
method to account for its investment in InCon Processing. Consequently, the
Company records its share of InCon Processing's income for the quarter as an
increase in its investment.

InCon's decrease in revenues is attributable to the new 50/50 venture entered
into with AC HUMKO, InCon Processing. InCon Processing took over substantially
all of the business previously engaged in by InCon related to toll processing,
molecular separation, and the design and sale of molecular separation
facilities. As a result of its investment in InCon Processing, Incon will be
entitled to 50% of the future profits and losses.

Bionutrics Health Products Inc. continues to experience a significant decline
in sales due to curtailment of advertising and support for the brand
evolvE(R) as a result of financial constraints.

The Company is repositioning itself as a product development company and has
recognized revenues of $100,000 during the nine months ended July 31, 2000 for
services related to its development activities.

Nutrition Technology discontinued production in its West Monroe, Louisiana
facility in late 1997. Therefore, no sales are reflected for the nine months
ended July 31, 2000. Sales for the nine months ended July 31, 1999 reflect the
sale of remaining by-products on hand from production and testing. The Company's
lease on the West Monroe, Louisiana facility terminated on February 28, 1999 and
no activity was conducted after that time. After the sale of assets to AC HUMKO
in fiscal 1998, Nutrition Technology Corporation is substantially inactive.

Cost of revenues for the nine months ended July 31, 2000 was $158,000 versus
$2,319,000 for the same period in 1999. This reduction is primarily due to the
new 50/50 venture entered into with AC HUMKO, which substantially took over all
of the business engaged in by InCon, as well as lower sales volume.

Operating expenses for the nine months ended July 31, 2000 of $2,170,000 were
$3,146,000 less than that recognized for the same period in 1999 of $5,316,000.
This reduction is due to significantly reduced salaries, cost curtailment
programs, as well as the 50/50 venture entered into with AC HUMKO.

Other expense for the nine months ended July 31, 2000 was $400 versus $67,000
for the same period in 1999. This decrease is primarily due to a reduction in
interest expense incurred on debt proceeds. The interest expense that was
recognized on debt proceeds during the nine months ended July 31, 2000 was
essentially off-set by the earnings recognized on its investment in InCon
Processing, LLC.

Net loss decreased to $2,114,000 or $.10 per share for the nine months ended
July 31, 2000 from $4,598,000 or $.22 per share for the same period in 1999 due
primarily to lower operating expenses.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Net cash used in operating activities during the nine-month period ended July
31, 2000 was $1,441,000 as compared to $2,753,000 during the same period in
1999. This decrease is due primarily to lower cost of revenues and operating
expenses.

Long-term receivables represent trade receivables acquired from InCon in
connection with the acquisition of InCon by the Company. As they have not been
fully collected, management has elected to reclassify them to long term and
continues to consider them fully collectible.

Net cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended July 31, 2000
was $3,000 as compared to net cash provided of $2,598,000 during the same period
in 1999. The net cash provided during the nine months ended July 31, 1999 was
largely due to the new 50/50 joint venture with AC HUMKO CORP. wherein InCon
Technologies, Inc. transferred substantially all of its assets to a newly formed
Limited Liability Company (InCon Processing, L.L.C.).

Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $894,000 for the nine-month
period ended July 31, 2000 versus net cash used of $280,000 for the same period
in 1999. This cash was provided by loans for both years as well as the sale of
common stock for fiscal 1999. The net cash used during the nine months ended
July 31, 1999 reflects the repayment of notes payable to directors.

Since the Company's current cash resources and expected cash flow from
operations will not be sufficient to fund its operational needs for the next 12
months, it continues to seek additional capital through private equity and bank
lines of credit. There can be no assurance that such additional financing will
be attainable, or attainable on terms acceptable to the Company. Access by the
Company to additional capital will depend substantially upon prevailing market
conditions, and the financial condition of and prospects for the Company at the
time. Management is continuing its efforts to obtain additional funds and is
also continuing its efforts to reposition the Company as a product development
company and, as such, is engaged in discussions with several potential marketing
partners involving evolvE(R) and future branded products, including dietary
supplements and functional food ingredients.

The Company's ability to access funds under the equity line entered into
subsequent to the quarter ended July 31, 2000 is subject to satisfaction of
certain conditions, including the effectiveness of a registration statement, and
the failure to satisfy such conditions may limit or preclude the Company's
ability to access such funds, which would adversely affect the Company's
business, immediate liquidity, financial position and results of operations
unless additional financing sources are available.

                         PART II - OTHER INFORMATION


ITEM 5            Other Events

                  On September 7, 2000, the Company and a private investor
                  entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement for the future
                  issuance and purchase of shares of the Company's common stock.
                  The Agreement establishes what is sometimes termed an equity
                  line of credit or an equity draw down facility. The Agreement
                  permits the Company, in its sole discretion, and subject to
                  certain restrictions, to sell up to an aggregate of 4,000,000
                  shares, with the maximum amount for each sale not to exceed
                  $1,000,000 each month, based on a formula of weighted average
                  price and total trading volume for a given period. The period
                  during which the Company can make such sales is for a two-year
                  period beginning upon the effective date of a registration
                  statement for the resale of the shares. The price is based on
                  the volume weighted average daily price of the Company's
                  common stock for the 22 trading days following a draw down
                  notice. The Company can establish a threshold price below
                  which it will not sell shares. The price is discounted by 10%,
                  decreasing by .25% to 7% for each $12,500,000 that the
                  Company's market capitalization exceeds $60,000,000. In lieu
                  of a minimum draw down commitment, the Company has issued a
                  three-year warrant for the purchase of 200,000 share of common
                  stock at an exercise price of $1.535 per share, equal to 120%
                  of the average volume weighted average daily price for the 15
                  trading days before the date of issuance of the warrant. In
                  addition, 35 day warrants will be issued in connection with
                  each draw down for the purchase of a number of shares equal to
                  17.5% of the investment amount divided by the weighted average
                  of the purchase prices during the applicable period. In
                  payment of fees and expenses of the investor, the Company has
                  issued 25,000 shares of its common stock to the investor.

                  The Company is not permitted to draw down funds if the
                  issuance of shares to the investor pursuant to the draw down
                  facility would result in the investor owning more than 9.9% of
                  the Company's common stock or would require stockholder
                  approval under applicable Nasdaq rules.

                  The Company intends to use the proceeds of the offering for
                  general corporate and working capital purposes.
