   NOTES TO FINANCIAL INFORMATION

1. Basis of presentation:

   The accompanying balance sheet as of March 31, 1995, and the statements of
   operations and cash flows for the periods ended March 31, 1995, and 1994,
   have not been audited by independent accountants but reflect all
   adjustments, consisting of any normal recurring adjustments, which are, in
   the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of the results
   for such periods. The results of operations for the three months and six
   months ended March 31, 1995, are not necessarily indicative of results to be
   expected for the year ending September 30, 1995. This is as a result of
   a number of factors including the seasonal nature of the market for a
   number of the Company's products.

   Certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in financial
   statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
   principles have been omitted pursuant to the requirements of the
   Securities and Exchange Commission, although the Company believes that the
   disclosures included in these financial statements are adequate to make
   the information not misleading.

   The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial
   statements and notes thereto included in the Company's annual report on
   Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1994.

   The Company is involved in various matters involving environmental cleanup
   issues. SEE "Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of
   Operations" and Note 10 of Notes to Financial Statements included in the
   Company's Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1994. The
   ultimate outcome of these matters cannot presently be determined.
   Accordingly, no provision for any loss that may result from the resolution
   of these matters has been made in the accompanying financial statements.

2. Net income (loss) per share:

   Net income (loss) per share is based on the weighted average number of
   shares of common stock outstanding during the periods presented. Common
   stock equivalents are included in these calculations where their effect on
   net income per share is dilutive. The weighted average number of shares was
   4,135,162 for all periods presented.

3. Acquisition:

   In October, 1994, the Company finalized the agreement reached on August 31,
   1994, to purchase certain assets of the "WATE-ON-Registered Trademark-" and
   "SUPER WATE-ON-Registered Trademark-" line of nutritional products from The
   Fleetwood Company for approximately $67,000 in cash. In addition, the
   Company remitted $100,000 to the seller which was due upon closing. A
   royalty agreement was entered into whereby the Company is required to
   remit approximately $6,900 per month for thirty-six months. The royalty
   amount is to be expensed over the length of the agreement which expires on
   August 31, 1999.

   In October, 1994, the Company finalized the agreement reached on August 31,
   1994, to purchase certain assets of the Aloe E and Aloe 99 line of
   aloe vera products from Alivio Products, Inc. for approximately $50,000 in
   cash. A royalty agreement was entered into whereby the Company is required
   to remit $120,000 payable over twelve (12) months commencing on
   September 30, 1994.

ITEM 2.

   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS

   MATERIAL CHANGES IN RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
   THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1995, AND MARCH 31, 1994

   Gross revenues decreased by 16% from $3,434,000 in the quarter ended
   March 31, 1994, to $2,885,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 1995. The
   decline in gross revenues was attributed to lower sales of the Company's
   nail products. The reduced sales volume was due to contracting inventory
   levels by the retailers and an overall decline in the nail extender market.
   The reduction in gross revenues was partially offset by sales of the newly
   acquired over-the-counter brand WATE-ON-Registered Trademark- and SUPER
   WATE-ON-Registered Trademark- plus increased sales volume in one of our
   previously acquired personal care brands.

   Also, the Company's sales returns for the quarter increased $350,000 or
   142% in the quarter ended March 31, 1995, when compared to the quarter
   ended March 31, 1994. The increased returns were partially due to the
   shrinking of the shelf space, by our major retail customers, allocated to
   our major product category--Lee nail care products. Also, the continued
   consolidation of our retail customers via the route of mergers has had a
   definite impact on the level of returns.

   Cost of sales was a constant 40% of gross revenues when comparing the
   quarters ended March 31, 1995, and March 31, 1994. The Company is
   consolidating its manufacturing area within fewer facilities. This should
   allow the Company to operate more efficiently while utilizing reduced
   facilities.

   Selling and advertising expenses were lower by $201,000 when comparing the
   three months ended March 31, 1995, with the three months ended March 31,
   1994. The reduction of expenses were primarily the result of overall
   payroll and related fringe benefit costs reductions due to a cutback of
   staff personnel. In addition, the advertising and promotion expenditures
   declined in the current quarter ending March 31, 1995, versus the
   comparative quarter ending March 31, 1994.

   General and administrative expenses remained relatively constant,
   $412,000 compared to $441,000, for the quarters ended March 31, 1995,
   versus March 31, 1994, respectively.

   MATERIAL CHANGES IN RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
   SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1995, AND MARCH 31, 1994

   Gross revenues for the six months ended March 31, 1995, were $5,386,000, a
   decrease of approximately $847,000 or 14% from the comparable six month
   period ended March 31, 1994. The decline in gross revenues was due to
   lower sales of the Company's nail extender products. The reduced sales
   volume was due to contracting inventory levels by the retailers and an
   overall decline in the marketplace for nail extender items. Net revenues
   for the six months ended March 31, 1995, were $4,663,000, a decrease of
   $893,000 or 16%, from the comparable six month period ended March 31, 1994.

   Cost of sales as a percentage of gross revenues for the six months ended
   March 31, 1995, as compared to the six month period ended March 31, 1994,
   was relatively constant, 39% versus 40%, respectively.

   Selling and advertising expenses decreased $419,000 or 16% when comparing
   the six months ended March 31, 1995, with the six months ended March 31,
   1994. The reduction of costs occurred in several major expense
   classifications, namely; payroll and related fringe benefits, cutback of
   staff personnel, and advertising/promotion costs.

   General and administrative expenses decreased $67,000 (8%) to $792,000 for
   the six month period ended March 31, 1995, as compared to $859,000 for the
   six month period ended March 31, 1994. A reduction in staff personnel
   explains the reduction in expenditures.

<PAGE>

   LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

   During the six months ended March 31, 1995, working capital decreased to
   $2,796,000 from $3,042,000 at September 30, 1994. The Company's current
   ratio at March 31, 1995, was 1.9 to 1 compared to 2.3 to 1 at September 30,
   1994.

   Management believes that the current level of sales and working capital
   will allow it to meet its short term obligations on a current basis.

   ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

   The Company owns a manufacturing facility located in South El Monte,
   California. The California Regional Water Quality Control Board (The
   "RWQCB"), has alleged that the soil and shallow ground water at the site
   are contaminated. On August 12, 1991, the Board issued a "Cleanup and
   Abatement Order" directing the Company to conduct further testing and
   cleanup the site. The Company did not complete the testing, and in June,
   1992, the RWQCB requested that the EPA evaluate the contamination and take
   appropriate action. At the EPA's request, Ecology & Environment, Inc.
   conducted an investigation of soil and ground water on the Company's
   property. Ecology & Environment Inc.'s Final Site Assessment Report, which
   was submitted to the EPA in June, 1994, did not rule out the possibility
   that some of the contamination originated on-site, and resulted from
   either past or current operations on the property. While the Company may be
   liable for all or part of the costs of remediating the contamination on its
   property, the remediation cost is not known at this time. The EPA has not
   taken any further action in this matter, but may do so in the future.

   The tenants of nearby properties upgradient have sued the Company alleging
   that hazardous material from the Company's property caused contamination
   on the properties leased by the tenants. The Company does not believe
   there is any basis for the allegations and is vigorously defending the
   lawsuit.

   The Company's South El Monte manufacturing facility is also located over a
   large area of possibly contaminated regional groundwater which is part of
   the San Gabriel Valley Superfund site. The Company has not been notified
   that it is a potentially responsible party ("PRP") for the contamination,
   but may be in the future. The cost of any cleanup of the groundwater is not
   known at this time. In September, 1992, EPA announced that the levels of
   contamination in the Whittier Narrows area of the superfund site were
   sufficiently low and that it was not planning a cleanup at this time, but
   rather would continue to monitor the ground water for an indefinite
   period. The Company's property is adjacent to the Whittier Narrows area.
   Except as described above, it is not clear what action the EPA will take
   with respect to the Company's property.

   The City of South El Monte, the city in which the Company has its
   manufacturing facility, is located in the San Gabriel Valley. The San
   Gabriel Valley has been declared a Superfund site, chiefly because of
   chlorinated solvents released onto and into the vadose soil and ground water
   by various manufacturing companies during World War II and in subsequent
   decades, until the presence and persistence of these solvents was
   recognized and they were declared to be environmentally hazardous and
   subject to cleanup work.

   The Company believes that the City of South El Monte does not appear to be
   located over any of the major plumes. However, the EPA recently announced
   it is studying the possibility that, although the vadose soil and ground
   water, while presenting cleanup problems, there may be a contamination by
   DNAPs (dense non-aqueous phase liquids), i.e., "sinkers", usually
   chlorinated organic cleaning solvents. The EPA has proposed to drill six
   "deep wells" throughout the City of South El Monte at an estimated cost of
   $1,400,000. The EPA is conferring with SEMPOA (South El Monte Property
   Owners Association) as to cost sharing on this project. SEMPOA has
   obtained much lower preliminary cost estimates. The outcome cost and
   exact scope of this are unclear at this time.

   The Securities and Exchange Commission has issued a formal order of
   investigation concerning certain matters, including the Company's
   environmental liabilities. The Company is cooperating with the
   investigation.

<PAGE>

   At this time, the company does not have any reliable information on the
   likely cleanup costs of either its property or the properties that are the
   subject of the lawsuit described above. Thus, it cannot determine the
   extent, if any, of its share of liability for any such costs. The Company
   has been seeking reimbursement of costs from its insurance carriers who
   have denied reimbursement of costs, based on their review and analysis of
   the insurance policies, the history of the site, the nature of the claims
   and current court decisions in such cases.
