Ives Health Company, Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements
Three Months and Six Months Ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, and December 31, 1999
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This summary of significant accounting policies of Ives Health Company,
Inc. (the "Company") is presented to assist in understanding the Company's
financial Statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of
the Company's management which is responsible for the integrity and objectivity
thereof. These accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting
principles and have been consistently applied in the presentation of the
financial statements.
ORGANIZATION
The Company was incorporated on February 12,1998 pursuant to an agreement
between Maxxon, Inc. and M. Keith Ives, entered into and made effective December
31, 1997. SEVI, (a wholly owned subsidiary of Maxxon, Inc.) and Maxxon agreed to
separate. The separation was accomplished by, a non-pro-rata split-off of
non-monetary assets in accordance with Issue 96-4 of the Emerging Issues Task
Force, a recapitalization and the issuance of 7,000,000 shares of The Company
common stock to M. Keith Ives, and 1,700,000 shares of The Company common shares
to Maxxon, Inc. The Company began operations January 1, 1998 and was
incorporated in Oklahoma on February 12, 1998.
The Company is engaged in developing and marketing innovative, safe, high
quality natural non-prescription medicines and nutritional supplements. The
Company's products, which are guaranteed for potency and purity, include natural
medicines, herbal formulas, vitamins, minerals and homeopathic medicines. The
Company wholesales their products to national, regional and local pharmacies.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company considers all highly liquid assets with maturities of three
months or less to be cash equivalents.
INVENTORY
Inventory consists primarily of bulk product that will be packaged into
capsules, bottled, and packaged for distribution to customers. Inventory is
stated at the lower of cost or market value using the first-in, first-out
method. Obsolete products are written off in the year they are determined to be
obsolete.
FISCAL YEAR END
The Company's fiscal year ends on December 31.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment is recorded at cost. All material property and
equipment additions are capitalized and depreciated on a straight-line basis
over the estimated useful life of the asset.
<PAGE>
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
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.
INCOME TAXES
Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," which requires the
measurement of deferred tax assets for deductible temporary differences and
operating loss carry-forwards, and of deferred tax liabilities for taxable
temporary differences. Measurement of current and deferred tax liabilities and
assets is based on provisions of enacted tax law. The effects of future changes
in tax laws or rates are not included in the measurement. Valuation allowances
are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount
expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable for the period
and the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
EARNINGS PER SHARE
Earnings (Loss) per Share
-------------------------
The Company computes net income per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128,
"Earnings per Share" and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 98 ("SAB 98"). Under
provision of SFAS No. 128 and SAB 98 basic net income (loss) per share is
calculated by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders for
the period by the weighted average shares of common stock of the Company
outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is computed by
dividing the net income for the period by the weighted average number of common
and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. The calculation of
fully diluted income (loss) per share of common stock assumes the dilutive
effect of stock options outstanding.
Segment Information
-------------------
Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No.
131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." The
Company identifies its operating segments based on business activities,
management responsibility and geographical location. During the years ended
December 31, 1999 and 1998, and in the first quarter of 2000, the Company
operated in the single business segment engaged in developing and marketing
selected healthcare products.
New Accounting Standards
------------------------
During 1998 the Company adopted SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive
Income" and SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and
Related Information." Therefore, net loss equals comprehensive income. The
Company had no comprehensive income items during 1999 and 1998. The Company
operates in only one business segment. The Company adopted SFAS No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Investments and Hedging Activities" during 1999. As
of June 30, 2000, the Company did not engage in hedging activities or other
transactions involving derivatives.
<PAGE>
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenue is recognized monthly based upon the terms of the sale. The Company
issues credit to customers on a discount basis of 2% if paid within ten days of
the invoice or the full balance due within thirty days of the invoice.
Management uses the allowance method of recognizing bad debts. A provision for
doubtful accounts was required at December 31, 1999, for a doubtful account of
$10,000.

NOTE 3 - OTHER ASSETS
GOODWILL
Effective December 31, 1997 M. Keith Ives exchanged 275,360 shares of
Maxxon Inc. common shares valued at $1.01 per share (using the average of the
last five trading days in 1997) for 7,000,000 common shares of the Company's
stock. Maxxon retained 1,700,000 shares of the newly formed Ives Health Company,
Inc. After the issuance of the 8,700,000 common shares, M. Keith Ives owned
80.5% of the outstanding shares and Maxxon owned 19.5% of the outstanding
shares. The exchange was accounted for as a purchase using the fair market value
of the Maxxon common stock as consideration for 80.5% of the newly formed
company. The transaction was a non-pro-rata split-off of certain non-monetary
assets, whereby Maxxon exchanged assets for a non-controlling interest in a new
entity. The transaction was recorded in accordance with the Emerging Issues Task
Force Issues # 96-4 and #89-7. Goodwill in the amount of $328,500 was recorded
with a resulting credit to Paid-in Capital. The Goodwill is being amortized over
its estimated useful life of fifteen years.
The Company owns certain assets presently located in San Diego, California,
which are part of the April 30,2000, acquisition of assets of a formulation
company which are now operated under the name of Ives Formulation Company, Inc.,
a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. These assets have a net value in
excess of $502,000.

NOTE 3 (CONTINUED)
INVESTMENT IN LICENSING AND OPTION TO PURCHASE AND PURCHASE AGREEMENTS
----------------------------------------------------------------------
On August 24, 1998, the Company entered into a License Agreement with Dr.
Robert Bedeen for the rights to certain technology known as (1) the T-Factor
Immune System Optimizer and (2) the Burn Treatment Therapy. The rights to the
technology were acquired for future development of the technology for the
consumer market. These products achieved technological feasibility as of the
licensing date and have future uses in research and development and other
aspects of Ives' business. Dr. Bedeen conducted an 18 month study in Jakarta,
Indonesia, in which 186 AIDS patients were given the T-Factor medicine and their
T-cell count increased favorably from 3 to 22 points with an average increase in
T-cell count of 11 points per month. Studies performed on the burn creme showed
it to be very effective in clinical trials. The products have already been
developed for the consumer market by Dr. Bedeen and are expected to become two
of Ives' primary products as soon as funds are available for inventory build up
and marketing. The rights to the license, which included a royalty provision to
Dr. Bedeen extends through August 24, 2049, were acquired for approximately
$25,000. The cost related to the license and rights were capitalized and is
being amortized over five years.
On July 30, 1999, the Company purchased for $10,000 and expensed the cost
of the royalty provision that was required under the License Agreement. The
purchase eliminated any future royalty obligations to the previous owner of the
technology.
In January 1998, Ives Health Company paid $10,000 for the option to
purchase VEGI-Snack Foods, Inc., in which Ives had the exclusive right to sell
VEGI BEARS and related products and retained the right to purchase VEGI-Snack
Foods, Inc. until the end of 1999. The option to purchase VEGI-Snack Foods
expired at the end of 1999 and the $10,000 investment made to secure this
purchase option was written off during 1999..
In April 2000, Ives Formulation Company, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of
Ives Health Company Inc., acquired the assets of International Formulation and
Manufacturing Inc., of San Diego, CA., a pharmaceutical formulation facility and
the primary vendor of the company. The acquired assets were as follows:
manufacturing equipment, office and lab equipment, inventory and intellectual
property. As of June 30, 2000, a total of $235,283 was booked as investment in
that transaction. A more detailed discussion of this acquisition is included in
part 4 of this report.

$154,068 for the three months ending June 30, 1999. For the six months ending
June 30, 2000, the Company posted significantly higher sales compared to the
same period in 1999. The net sales of the six months ending June 30, 2000, was
$447,918 compared to $226,490 for the six months ending June 30, 1999. These
increases were primarily due to continued business with large chain pharmacies
and other national accounts plus revenues from Ives Formulation Company.
Earnings for the quarter ending June 30, 2000 were ($562,936) as compared to
$45,187 for the same period in 1999. This decrease was primarily due to the
asset purchase of a pharmaceutical formulation company and the creation of a
direct marketing subsidiary, both of which required a significant amount of
startup expenses. Much of the second quarter increase in expenses will not be
occurring again in the future and/or is expected to be offset by significant
increases in revenue. For the quarter ending June 30, 2000 gross profit was
$99,176 increasing from $95,386 for the same quarter in 1999 a 4% increase.
Cost of sales rose during the quarter ending June 30, 2000 to 46.6% of sales as
compared to the same period for 1999 which was 38.1% of sales. Cost of sales
ratios are expected to approach the 30-33% range as revenues increase. Operating
expense ratios as compared to sales were significantly higher for the quarter
ending June 30, 2000 as compared to the same period in 1999 due to the
acquisition of the assets of a pharmaceutical formulation company and associated
startup costs and the creation of a direct sales subsidiary. Operating expense
ratios are expected to decrease sharply as the new subsidiaries create more
revenue and require less expense contribution from the parent company.
The company has refocused sales efforts to large chain pharmacies by hiring
several brokers in strategic areas. These efforts have proven successful and
will result in less sales overhead. In addition, the company has also created a
direct sales subsidiary, NutraRight International, Inc., an Oklahoma Corporation
and wholly owned subsidiary of Ives Health Company, Inc. NutraRight is expected
to launch in September 2000 and will sell private label products directly to
consumers via the internet and through direct marketing distributors. The
company is expecting significant sales and profits from NutraRight.
The Company is presently looking for $1.5 million in short and long-term
financing which is required to fund NutraRight, Ives Formulation Company and
secure regional television advertising that will help boost sales to large chain
pharmacies.
