             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)


Note 1:       Interim Financial Reporting:

              The consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 1995 has been
              derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet and is
              presented for comparative purposes.

              The accompanying financial statements presume that users have
              read the audited financial statements for the preceding fiscal
              year. Accordingly, footnotes which would substantially duplicate
              such disclosure have been omitted.

              The interim financial statements reflect all adjustments which
              are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement
              of the results for the interim periods presented. Such
              adjustments consist solely of normal recurring accruals.

              Certain amounts appearing in the March 31, 1995 and June 30, 1995
              financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the
              March 31, 1996 presentation. There was no effect on net income
              due to the reclassification.

              The results of operations for the nine and three months ended
              March 31, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results to
              be expected for a full year.

Note 2:       Contingencies:

              Other than described below, no material proceedings to which the
              Company is a party, or to which any of its properties are
              subject, are pending or are known to be contemplated, and the
              Company knows of no material legal proceedings, pending or
              threatened, or judgments entered against any director or officer
              of the Company in his capacity as such.

              In or about October 1991, an action was instituted in the
              Superior Court of New Jersey, County of Middlesex, against the
              Company by an individual seeking monies claimed to be due under
              an alleged employment agreement. The Company believes that the
              amount sought, $3,500,000 has been frivolously asserted to harass
              the Company and that the allegations are completely baseless. The
              Company has interposed counterclaims against plaintiff for fraud
              and related claims and seeks damages in the amount of $5,000,000.
              As a result of plaintiff's poor physical condition, in April
              1994, he moved to transfer the matter to the "inactive" trial
              list which motion has been granted. Accordingly, no further
              action will be taken by either party with respect to the matter
              unless and until plaintiff seeks to restore the matter to the
              active trial calendar.

              In or about November 1992, an action was instituted against the
              Company in the Supreme Court of New York, County of New York by
              Univest Technologies, alleging that the Company breached its
              agreement by refusing to furnish Soluble Aspirin to such entity.
              Plaintiff seeks "consequential damages" of $1,500,000. The
              Company denies that any such agreement existed and vigorously
              denies that any monies are owed to plaintiff. The Company moved
              to dismiss the complaint, which motion was granted with leave to
              replead. Plaintiff served an amended complaint thereafter and the
              Company again moved to dismiss the complaint. The Company is
              awaiting a decision from the court with respect to the Company's
              second motion. If the complaint is not dismissed, the Company
              intends to assert counterclaims against plaintiff for amounts in
              excess of the amount sought, on the basis of, among other things,
              plaintiff's fraud and misrepresentation.

              In or about July 1994, Puritan Quartz, Inc. ("Puritan") brought
              suit against the Company, in the U.S. District Court for the
              Southern District of New York, alleging breach of (i) the
              Company's purported contractual obligations to supply Puritan
              with acetaminophen and ibuprofen for resale to an unaffiliated
              party; and (ii) related confidentiality obligations. The
              complaint seeks damages in the aggregate amount of $3,600,000,
              plus $300,000 for each additional month of continuing breach. The
              Company believes that the clear meaning of the language of the
              agreement between the parties was that the agreement had a one
              year term, ending October 26, 1993, prior to the events of the
              alleged breach, and that such agreement was never extended.
              Accordingly, in the Company's view, it had no obligation
              whatsoever to Puritan at the time of the alleged breach. The
              Company further believes that Puritan's claims as to the
              aggregate amount of its alleged lost profits are overstated. The
              Company has answered the complaint and served preliminary
              discovery demands upon Puritan.

</TABLE>

Note 4:       Dividends:

              No dividends were declared during any period presented.

Note 5:       Earnings per Share:

              Earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of
              common and common equivalent shares outstanding for the period.
              Common equivalent shares consist of the dilutive effect of
              unissued shares under options, warrants, and in the case of
              fully-diluted earnings per share, convertible debentures,
              computed using the treasury stock method with the average stock
              prices for primary basis and the higher of average or period end
              stock prices for fully-diluted basis. Fully-diluted earnings per
              share are not presented since the amounts are substantially the
              same as primary earnings per share.

              No effect has been given to shares issuable for common stock
              equivalents for the nine and three months ended March 31, 1996 as
              the effect would be anti-dilutive.

Note 6:       Related Party Transactions:

              The following transactions with ICC Industries Inc. ("ICC"), an
              affiliated company, are reflected in the consolidated financial
              statements as of or for the nine months ended March 31, 1996 and
              1995:

Note 7:       Special Compensation Expense:

              In December 1995, the Company replaced its former President and
              Chief Executive Officer. The Company accrued the estimated
              remaining obligation due to this individual under his employment
              contract. In addition, as part of a continuing effort to improve
              operations, the Company has embarked on a resizing plan. The
              Company has accrued the estimated severance and other fees to be
              provided as part of this plan.

Note 8:       Subsequent Events:

              On April 8, 1996, the Company sold 2,500,000 shares of Series A
              Preferred Stock to ICC for an aggregate of $2,500,000. The
              preferred stock is redeemable at the option of PFI and
              convertible into common stock of the Company by ICC at any time
              after 36 months at the lower of market price of the common stock
              of the Company or $2.00 per share. The preferred stock sold to
              ICC pays dividends at the rate of $.08 per share, payable
              semiannually on January 1st and July 1st each year and are
              cumulative and non-participating. Due to the significance of this
              transaction, the pro-forma affect has been shown on the balance
              sheet as if it occurred on March 31, 1996.

ITEM 2:       Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
                     Condition and Results of Operations

                             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 1996 were $43,218,000 compared to
$48,214,000 in the comparable period in the prior fiscal year. The decrease in
revenues of $4,996,000 or 108 is the result of reductions in both the private
label (store brand) and contract manufacturing sector of the business. The
majority of the reduction in private label (store brand) is the result of a
reduction in Revco D.S., Inc. ("Revco") for which the prior year period
included increased sales to fill start-up requirements for a new acquisition by
Revco. In addition, a major contract manufacturing project from the prior year
did not continue at the same rate in the current year. Three customers
represent approximately 53% of the Company's sales for the nine months ended
March 31, 1996. These three customers are Revco, Price-Costco, Inc.
("Price-Costco") and Walgreen Company ("Walgreen"). Sales to Revco amounted to
$9,403,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 1996 or 228 of total sales
compared to $12,338,000 or 26% of total sales in the comparable period in the
prior fiscal year. Sales to Walgreen amounted to $6,457,000 or 156 of total
sales for the nine months ended March 31, 1996 compared to $6,703,000 or 14% of
total sales in the comparable period in the prior fiscal year. Sales to
Price-Costco were $6,944,000 or 16% of total sales compared to $5,550,000 or
12% of total sales in the comparable period in the prior fiscal year.

Sales for the three months ended March 31, 1996 were $14,051,000 compared to
$14,650,000 in the comparable period in the prior fiscal year. The decrease of
$599,000 or 4% resulted from lower sales in the bulk and contract manufacturing
sectors of the business.

Cost of sales as a percentage of sales was 77% for the nine months ended March
31, 1996 compared to 71% in the comparable period in the prior fiscal year. The
increase in cost of sales as a percentage of sales is due to the lower sales
volume especially in the contract manufacturing sector which traditionally has
the lower cost of sales as a percent of sales. In addition, there was an
increase in certain operating costs such as raw materials and labor rates. Cost
of sales as a percentage of sales was 78% in the three months ended March 31,
1996 as compared to 71% in the comparable period in the prior fiscal year, due
to the reduced sales especially in the bulk and contract manufacturing sectors
which traditionally have a lower cost of sales as a percent of sales. In
addition, there was an increase in certain operating costs such as raw
materials and labor rates.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $9,026,000 for the nine
months ended March 31, 1996 compared to $8,258,000 in the comparable period in
the prior fiscal year. The increase of $768,000 is due to increased selling and
distribution costs as a result of efforts to continually expand the customer
and product base. The Company has a new warehouse and distribution center to
facilitate the movement of finished goods.

Research and development costs were $703,000 for the nine months ended March
31, 1996 compared to $1,095,000 in the comparable period in the prior fiscal
year. The decrease of $392,000 is due to research projects which are not being
performed at the same rate as the prior year.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $108,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 1996 due partly to the resizing program
initiated in January 1996 to reduce costs. Research and development costs
decreased by $70,000 due to the reasons stated above.

Interest and other expenses were $2,726,000 for the nine months ended March 31,
1996 compared to $2,775,000 in the comparable period in the prior fiscal year.
Interest and other expenses were $855,000 in the three months ended March
31, 1996 vs. $911,000 in the prior three month period.

As stated above, revenues decreased by $4,996,000 in the nine months ended
March 31, 1996 as compared to the comparable period in the prior fiscal year.
If the Company's bulk and contract manufacturing business continues to decline
and if the Company's private label (store brand) business does not grow above
the prior year's levels, there will be a negative effect on the Company's
future operating results. The Company has embarked on an aggressive marketing
and selling program to reverse this sales trend in both the private label
(store brand), bulk and contract manufacturing sectors. In addition, a resizing
program is being implemented to reduce costs and improve productivity aimed at
positive operating results in the future. As part of the resizing, a provision
for the estimated cost of special compensation and other expenses has been
reflected in the financial statements for the nine months ended March 31, 1996
(see Note 7).

                        LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


Accounts receivable increased by $854,000 due to the higher sales in the three
months ended March 31, 1996 as compared to the quarter ending June 30, 1995.
Inventories decreased by $5,246,000 as the Company reduced its inventory
requirements due to the lower sales in the nine months ended March 31, 1996 as
compared to the prior year.

The Company incurred $3,149,000 of capital expenditures in the nine months
ended March 31, 1996 most of which related to the upgrade of the manufacturing
facility. This was partially financed through capital leases entered into with
ICC for a total of $1,205,000. ICC also refinanced certain equipment lease
obligations of the Company which provided an additional $968,000 to finance the
plant upgrade. In addition, the Company borrowed $443,000 from its
institutional lender. Principal payments on capital leases and long-term debt
were $895,000 and $454,000, respectively.

In the nine months ended March 31, 1996, certain of the 8.25% Debentures were
converted into common stock of the Company. The conversion reduced debt and
increased stockholders' equity (deficiency) by approximately $28,000. In
addition, ICC exercised its' preemptive rights with respect to such conversions
and purchased shares of common stock, which increased stockholders equity
(deficiency) by $19,000.

The Company continues to take steps to reduce costs to improve operating
results to meet its working capital needs. Significant capital expenditures,
however, will require additional financing. While the Company has in the past
had no difficulty obtaining such financing, there can be no assurance the
Company will obtain the additional financing necessary for the capital
expenditures.

The receipt of the funds for the 2,500,000 shares of Series Preferred Stock
sold in April 1996 increased the Company's working capital and stockholders'
equity as shown in the pro-forma balance sheet.

2.   Confidential Information:

     You agree that you will not, without specific written authorization by the

Employment, use any confidential information of the Company for your own
benefit, and you will not, directly or indirectly, reveal, divulge, disclose or
communicate such information to any person, firm, corporation or other entity
not authorized by the Board of Directors of the Company to know same, except as

obtain a protective order shall be given by the Executive to the Company.

3.   Non-Compete and Solicitation of Employment of Other Company
