            NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)


NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         On April 23, 1998, D&F Industries ("D&F," the predecessor), Raven d/b/a
         Omni-Pak Industries ("Omni-Pak"), Dynamic Products Inc. ("Dynamic") and
         West Coast Sales ("West Coast") entered into a reorganization agreement
         pursuant to which (a) D&F changed its name to Global Health Sciences,
         Inc., (b) Global Health Sciences, Inc. formed a new subsidiary, Global
         Health Sub, Inc. ("Global Sub"), (c) Global Sub formed four new
         subsidiaries named D&F Industries, Inc. ("D&F Sub"), Raven Sub, Inc.
         ("Omni-Pak Merger Sub"), New West Coast Sales, Inc. ("West Coast Merger
         Sub") and Dynamic Sub, Inc. ("Dynamic Merger Sub"), (d) Global Health
         Sciences, Inc. transferred to D&F Sub all of its assets and liabilities
         except for its obligation under the 11% Senior Notes due 2008 (the
         "Notes") and the common stock of Global Sub, (e) Global Health
         Sciences, Inc. through Global Sub acquired Omni-Pak, Dynamic and West
         Coast (together referred to as Omni-Pak and Affiliates) from their
         respective shareholders for approximately $137.9 million in cash and
         expenses (the "Acquisition"), in transactions accounted for under the
         purchase method of accounting pursuant to the mergers of Omni-Pak
         Merger Sub and Omni-Pak (with Omni-Pak as the surviving corporation),
         Dynamic Merger Sub and Dynamic (with Dynamic as the surviving
         corporation), and West Coast Sub and West Coast (with West Coast as the
         surviving corporation) and (f) the shareholders of Global Health
         Sciences, Inc. received approximately $58.7 million in cash to
         repurchase approximately 543,000 outstanding shares from its
         stockholders (the "Recapitalization"). The transactions above are
         referred to as the "Reorganization".

         The Acquisition of Omni-Pak and Affiliates was accounted for under the
         purchase method of accounting. The purchase price consisted of $136.9
         million of cash and $1 million of estimated transaction costs and has
         been allocated to Omni-Pak and Affiliates assets and liabilities based
         on their respective values as of the closing date.

         On December 11, 1998, Global Health Sciences, Inc. acquired the stock
         of American Ingredients, Inc. for $36 million in a transaction
         accounted for under the purchase method of accounting.

         The statement of operations and cash flow for the 1998 period are those
         of D&F. The financial statements presented for the 1999 period are
         those of Global Health Sciences, Inc. (which include the operations of
         D&F, Omni-Pak and Affiliates and American Ingredients.) The following
         is summarized pro forma operating results assuming that the
         Reorganization and the acquisition of American Ingredients occurred as
         of January 1, 1998:


                   THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998:

                   Sales (net)                     $ 53,376
                   Operating income                   2,805
                   Interest expense and other         7,155
                   Net income (loss)                 (4,523)

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION (CONTINUED)

         ACQUISITION FACILITY - The Company maintains a credit facility (the
         "Acquisition Facility"), which provides for borrowings of up to $75
         million under a line of credit through April 2003, of which no more
         than $10 million is available for working capital and general corporate
         purposes.

         The terms of the acquisition facility were modified in April, 1999 to
         increase the maximum allowable leverage and reduce the minimum
         allowable cash interest coverage. The Company is in compliance with the
         terms of the amended facility. The facility has been classified as long
         term debt at March 31, 1999.

         GLOBAL HEALTH SCIENCES, INC. is a holding Company with no independent
         operations other than its investments in its subsidiaries, principally
         D&F, Omni-Pak and Affiliates and American Ingredients. Pursuant to the
         indenture governing the Notes, Global Health Sciences, Inc.'s
         subsidiaries (the "Subsidiary Guarantors") have jointly and severally
         guaranteed the Notes on a full and unconditional basis. Separate
         financial statements related to the Subsidiary Guarantors are not
         included herein, as the management of Global Health Sciences, Inc. has
         determined that the separate financial statements of the Subsidiary
         Guarantors are not material to investors. All significant intercompany
         balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

         INTERIM PERIOD PRESENTATION - The accompanying unaudited condensed
         consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
         generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
         information and with the instructions to Article 10 of Regulation S-X.
         In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of only
         normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation
         have been included. Operating results for the interim period ended
         March 31, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may
         be expected for the year ending December 31, 1999.

         NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS In September 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No.
         133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities".
         This statement will be effective January 1, 2000. The Company has not
         yet analyzed the impact of adopting the statement.

         In September 1997, The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
         issued SFAS No.130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income." Statement of
         Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No.130 establishes new
         standards for reporting and displaying comprehensive income, its
         components and accumulated balances. The statement, which the Company
         adopted in the first quarter of 1998, establishes standards for
         reporting and displaying comprehensive income and its components in a
         full set of general purpose financial statements. There are no 
         adjustments between net income and comprehensive income for the 
         periods presented.

         RECLASSIFICATIONS--Certain amounts from the December 31, 1998 balance
         sheet have been reclassified to conform to the current classifications.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements included elsewhere herein.

Prior to its Reorganization, the operations of Global Health Sciences Inc. (the
"Company") were conducted by four subchapter S corporations: D&F (D&F),
Omni-Pak, Dynamic and West Coast (Omni-Pak and Affiliates). Together these
companies are one of the world's leading developers and custom manufacturers of
dietary and nutritional supplements. These companies develop specialty products
for branded distribution companies, branded retailers, television marketing
companies and network marketing organizations who then distribute such products
throughout the world. These companies were reorganized in the Reorganization to
consolidate related and complementary business activities under one holding
company, Global Health Sciences, Inc. (see Note 1 to the financial statements).
These companies (together the "Combined Companies") historically operated under
common management and had a high degree of common ownership, customers and
systems, including similar accounting and financial reporting systems. As
subchapter S corporations, all federal and state income taxes (other than a
minimum state income tax of 1.5%) for each of such corporations are paid
directly by its shareholder. The Company makes quarterly distributions to its
shareholder to allow the shareholder to pay his state and federal income taxes.
The Company has historically distributed, and intends to continue to distribute,
as a dividend to its shareholder amounts sufficient for the shareholder to pay
their required income taxes.

The Company's historical growth in sales and EBITDA has been primarily
attributable to increased sales to Herbalife, the Company's largest customer.
Sales by the Combined Companies to Herbalife have increased from approximately
$70.5 million in fiscal year 1995, representing approximately 83% of the
Company's sales in that year, to approximately $108.1 million in fiscal year
1998, representing approximately 61% of the Company's sales in that year. Due to
the significant percentage of the Company's sales attributable to Herbalife,
fluctuations in Herbalife's sales and inventory levels have had adverse effects
on Company sales in the past and could have adverse effects in the future. The
Company and Herbalife have a supply agreement, which extends through January
2001. The Company's sales to Herbalife for the three months ended March 31, 1999
were approximately $31.2 million or 60% of net sales.

Results of Operations
The following summarizes historical operating results for Global Health
Sciences, Inc. for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and supplemental pro
forma operating results for the three months ended March 31,1998, assuming that

QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 1999 COMPARED TO QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 1998

         The following discussion of results of operations is based on a
comparison of historical 1999 operating results to the 1998 supplemental pro
forma operating data because management believes that such comparison provides
the most meaningful analysis of comparative results.

         SALES. In the first quarter of 1999, sales decreased by $1.3 million or
2.4%, to $52.1 million compared to $53.4 million in the first quarter of 1998.
Sales to Herbalife were $31.2 million in the first quarter of 1999 as compared
to $32.6 million in the first quarter of 1998. Sales to the Company's second
largest customer, EAS, continue to grow with EAS' continued growth.

         COST OF SALES AND GROSS PROFIT. Cost of sales was unchanged at $36.8
million in the first quarter of 1999 as compared to $36.8 million in the first
quarter of 1998. Cost of sales as a percentage of sales increased to 70.6% in
the first quarter of 1999 compared to 68.9% in the first quarter of 1998,
thereby decreasing the gross margin in the first quarter of 1999 to 29.4% from
31.1% in the first quarter of 1998. The reduction in gross margin was primarily
due to the effect of lower sales on fixed manufacturing costs.

         SELLING, GENERAL, AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Company selling, general
and administrative decreased by $0.4 million to $5.1 million in the first
quarter of 1999 compared to $5.5 million in the first quarter of 1998. As a
percentage of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses (excluding
amortization of goodwill and other intangibles) decreased by 0.5% to 9.8% in the
first quarter of 1999 as compared to 10.3% in the first quarter of 1998. The
decreased expenses were primarily the net effect of lower bonus accruals at
American Ingredients and increased expenses related to capacity expansion.

         NET LOSS. Company net loss increased by $0.8 million to a net loss of
$5.3 million in the first quarter of 1999 compared to a $4.5 million net loss in
the first quarter of 1998. This decrease resulted primarily from the effect of
lower sales on fixed manufacturing costs and changes in the Company's sales mix,
which resulted in a lower gross margin percent.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's primary cash needs are for working capital, prospective
acquisitions and capital expenditures. The Company expects to meet its liquidity
requirements through cash flow from operations and the Acquisition Facility.

Cash and cash equivalents were $13.7 million at March 31, 1999 compared to $8.0
million at December 31, 1998. The Company's is required to make semi annual
interest payments on the Notes of $12.4 million on May 1 and November 1.

Cash provided by operating activities for the period ended March 31, 1999 was
$12.2 million. This amount primarily represents depreciation and amortization of
$8.6 million, increases in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $7.2
million and accrued interest of $6.7


                                      -12-
<PAGE>

million, net of the loss of $5.3 million and increases in accounts receivable
and inventory of $5.4 million.

Capital expenditures of $6.4 million for the period ended March 31, 1999 were
primarily for leasehold improvements on the Company's new manufacturing facility
and payments on management information systems. The Company estimates the
remaining capital expenditures related to the new manufacturing facility and the
management information system will not exceed $4 million.

Cash used by financing activities for the period ended March 31, 1999 was $0.1
million. The Company has elected S Corporation status for federal and state tax
purpose, and other than the 1.5% state tax, income tax is paid by its
shareholders. The Company distributes cash dividends to its shareholder to pay
federal and state taxes.

The Company maintains the Acquisition Facility which provides for borrowings of
up to $75 million under a line of credit which expires in April 2003, of which
no more than $10 million is available for working capital and general corporate
purposes. Borrowings under the facility were $31 million at March 31, 1999.
There were no borrowings under the working capital portion of the facility at
March 31, 1999.

                              YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

The Company is in the process of replacing its computer software applications
and systems. The new systems will accommodate the "year 2000" dating changes
necessary to permit correct recording of year dates for 2000 and later years.
The cost of the new systems is expected to approximate $2 million. The Company
believes that it will be able to achieve compliance by the end of 1999, and does
not currently anticipate any material disruption of its operations as the result
of any failure by the Company to be in compliance. The Company does not
currently have any information concerning the compliance status of its
suppliers. Failure by the Company's suppliers to be in compliance could have a
material adverse effect to the Company.

                           FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

Statements other than the actual reported financial results and other historical
information, including without limitation, certain statements under
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations", and located elsewhere herein regarding Year 2000 compliance and its
effects, if any, if the Company is unable to achieve such compliance, and the
Company's operations and financial position, may constitute forward-looking
statements and are intended to qualify for the safe harbor from liability
established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In
addition, forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of
forward-looking terminology such as "may," "will," "expect," "intend,"
"estimate," "anticipate," "believe," or "continue," or the negative thereof or
variations thereon or similar terminology. All such forward-looking statements
are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results
to differ materially from those contemplated by the relevant forward-looking
statement. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such
forward-looking statements are reasonable at this time, it can give no assurance
that such expectations will prove to have been correct.

ITEM 3.  MARKET RISK

The Company currently uses no material derivative financial instruments which
expose the Company to significant market risk. However, the Company's cash flow,
earnings and the fair value of its debt, may be adversely effected due to
changes in interest rates with respect to its long-term debt. Other than the
amendments to the acquisition facility, as described in the Liquidity and
Capital Resources, there have been no significant changes in the Company's
market risk in the quarter ended March 31, 1999.


PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company is a defendant in certain litigation in the normal course of
business. The Company believes, after consultation with legal counsel, that
liability incurred in connection with pending or threatened litigation, if any,
will not be material to the Company's results of operations or financial
condition.
