                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)

Note 1:       Interim Financial Reporting:

              The consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 1996 has been
              derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet for the fiscal
              year then ended 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 September 30, 1995 financial
              statements have been reclassified to conform to the September 30,
              1996 presentation. There was no effect on net income due to the
              reclassification.

              The results of operations for the three months ended September 30,
              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, Marvin Rosenblum, 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 unrelated 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 denies any
              liability to Puritan. 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 on October 16, 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.
              Discovery is ongoing and the Company intends to move for summary
              judgment at the close of discovery.

              In March 1996, the Company was named as a defendant in a lawsuit
              filed in the United States District Court for the District of New
              Jersey by Gary Sherman Investments, Inc., formerly known as
              Polystar Corporation ("GSI"). GSI filed this action against the
              Company based on a $400,000 promissory note allegedly executed in
              GSI's favor in or about March 1991, seeking to recover the full
              face amount of the note plus accrued interest. The Company is
              contesting the allegations of this complaint, and has filed a
              counterclaim alleging, inter alia, breaches of fiduciary duty and
              fraud by GSI. The Company intends vigorously to defend against
              GSI's claims and to pursue its counterclaims against GSI.

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.

              In 1996, undeclared dividends on preferred stock totaling $50,000
              were deducted from net income to determine net income for common
              stockholders.

              No effect has been given to shares issuable for common stock
              equivalents for the three months ended September 30, 1995 as the
              effect would be anti-dilutive.

              The following transactions with ICC Industries Inc. ("ICC"), an
              affiliated Company, are reflected in the consolidated financial

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

                              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Sales for the three months ended September 30, 1996 were $15,825,000 as compared
to $13,395,000 in the comparable period in the prior fiscal year. The increase
of $2,430,000 or 18% is a result of new customers and increased sales to
existing customers, especially in the private label (store brand) sector of the
business. There was a slight increase in the contract manufacturing sector while
the bulk sector was down as compared to the comparable period in the prior
fiscal year. Four customers presently represent approximately 52% of sales for
the three months ended September 30, 1996. These four customers are Revco D.S.
("Revco"), Walgreen Company ("Walgreen"), Price-Costco, Inc. ("Price-Costco")
and Leiner Health Products ("Leiner"). Sales to these four customers were
$8,265,000 or 52% of sales as, compared to $7,084,000 or 53% of sales in the
comparable period in the prior fiscal year.

Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales was 75% as compared to 80% in the
comparable period in the prior year. The reduction in cost of sales as a
percentage of net sales is a result of the increased sales, manufacturing
efficiencies, lower raw material costs and overall cost containment.

Selling, general and administrative costs were $2,302,000 or 15% of net sales
for the three months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to $2,187,000 or 17%
of net sales in the comparable period in the prior fiscal year. The increase of
$115,000 is a result of increased personnel in both sales and marketing to
increase the Company's customer and product base and increased freight costs due
to the increased sales.

Interest and other expenses were $837,000 for the three months ended September
30, 1996 as compared to $972,000 in the comparable period in the prior fiscal
year. The decrease of $135,000 is a result of lower average borrowing amounts in
the three months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the comparable period
in the prior fiscal year.

The Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $110,000 as compared to a
tax benefit of $300,000 in the comparable period in the prior fiscal year.

Net income for the three months ended September 30, 1996 was $211,000 or $.01
per share as compared to a loss of $606,000 or $.02 per share in the comparable
period in the prior fiscal year.

The Company continues to take steps aimed at increasing sales and reducing costs
to reverse the losses incurred in fiscal year ended June 30, 1996. These steps
include: (a) working to add customers and products to the current business to
increase sales volume, (b) efforts to continue to reduce material costs and (c)
other cost-saving measures as well as other actions to improve profitability.
There can be no assurance that such actions will be successful in enabling the
Company to continue to realize profitable results and return the Company to
profitability for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1997.

                         LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At September 30, 1996, the Company had working capital of $10,018,000 as
compared to $7,928,000 at June 30, 1996. The increase of $2,090,000 is due to
the net income for the three months ended September 30, 1996 and an increase in
borrowing from the Company's institutional lender to finance the growth in
accounts receivable and inventory. The increase in working capital includes
increases in accounts receivable of $1,830,000 due to the increased sales,
especially in the later part of the quarter. In addition, inventories increased
$3,766,000 to support the sales growth, including expected increases in sales in
the second quarter and the balance of the fiscal year. The increases in accounts
receivable and inventory were offset somewhat by an increase in accounts payable
and accrued expenses of $2,569,000.

Capital expenditures of $670,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1996
were related to the continued efforts to upgrade the manufacturing equipment and
plant facilities. Capital expenditures for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997
are currently estimated to be approximately $2,500,000.

The Company has a $15,000,000 asset-based line of credit with an institutional
lender. At September 30, 1996, the Company had $1,056,000 of unused availability
under this agreement. The line of credit expires February 4, 1999 and bears
interest at 1 3/4% above the prime lending rate (currently 8 1/4%).

The Company has outstanding 2,500,000 shares of series A cumulative preferred
stock sold to ICC Industries Inc. ("ICC"). Dividends from April 8, 1996 through
September 30, 1996 (approximately $100,000) have accumulated and are in arrears.
There is no intention to pay dividends currently on the preferred stock.
Dividends will continue to accrue at the rate of $50,000 per quarter.

The Company continues to take steps to increase sales and reduce costs to
improve operating results and meet working capital needs. As stated above, the
Company intends to add an estimated $2,500,000 of capital equipment in the
fiscal year ending June 30, 1997 to increase capacity and reduce costs. The
Company intends for these capital expenditures to be financed through capital
leases with either ICC or other parties. While the Company has in the past had
no difficulty in obtaining capital lease financing or meeting working capital
needs, there can be no assurance the Company will obtain the capital lease
financing or meet working capital needs in the future.
