               Consolidated Notes to Financial Statements
                             (Unaudited)

     
1.  Financial Statements
    --------------------
These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 
Company's financial statements as of June 30, 1997, included in the Annual 
Report on Form 10-K.  In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying 
consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of 
normal recurring items) necessary to present fairly the consolidated 
financial position and results of operations for the periods presented.  
The results of operations for the six-month period ended December 31, 1997,
are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full 
year.  The Company's consolidated financial statements include the accounts 
of its wholly-owned subsidiary Bear Laboritories, Inc.

2.  Commitments
    -----------
Office Lease:
- -------------
The Company is obligated under an office lease commencing April 1, 1997 and 
ending on March 31, 2000, to pay $6,826.54 in monthly installments for its 
general office and research facility, which contains 8,623 sq. ft. of space.
A portion of this space is subleased to others.

3.  Net Income Per Common Share
    ---------------------------
Income (loss) per common share for the six-month periods ended December 31, 
1997 and December 31, 1996 has been computed on the basis of the weighted 
number of common shares outstanding of 2,327,359 and 2,319,799 at December 
31, 1997 and 1996 respectively.


Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
         Condition and Results of Operations
         -------------------------------------------------
Operations
- ---------- 
The first six months of fiscal year 1998 ending December 31, 1997 resulted 
in revenue of $201,138 from operations as compared to $380 for the 
corresponding fiscal 1997 period.  The revenues are from licensing Company 
drug formulations and from product sales and contract research projects.  
General and administrative expense and research and development expense are 
substantially less than in 1997 due to general belt tightening.  Interest 
expense has been eliminated as a result of the cancellation of the Birklea
loan.

Financial Position
- ------------------
     The Company went from a deficit shareholders' equity of $282,034 to a 
negative shareholders' equity of $557,207 as a result of losses for the six 
months of $275,110, which is down by $353,000 compared to the corresponding 
six month period for last fiscal year. 
<PAGE>
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
It is estimated that an additional $24,000 during the next three months 
will be required to fund completion or the Phase III Aztec clinical trials.
Other than facilities rent and salaries, there are no other commitments.  
The Company is currently seeking additional licensing and contract formulation 
arrangements; however there is no assurance such will be obtained.  During 
the past several months the Company has undertaken a licensing arrangement 
on a nutritional supplement and contracts for formulation services for 
certain botanical products.  These contracts have provided monthly revenue 
of approximately $40,000.

     Except as indicated above, there are no planned expenditures outside the 
normal operating costs of the Company which will cause the Company to make 
any extraordinary plans for handling any cash requirements within the 
foreseeable future.

     The Company currently has very limited cash resources and is not now 
seeking funding through securities sales.  It is seeking a licensing 
agreement for Aztec(r), as well as license and supply agreements which are 
pending regulatory approval in three countries.  The Company is also trying 
to obtain funding through a variety of other sources, including industry 
partners and possibly other means. The Company is currently deferring 
salaries of some of its employees.
