                 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                 (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
 have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
 principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form
 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of
 the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
 principles for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management,
 all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary
 for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for the
 nine month period ended August 31, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the
 results that may be expected for the year ended November 30, 1995.  For
 further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and foot
 notes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the
 year ended November 30, 1994.

NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 Principles of Consolidation:

 The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
 and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.  All significant inter-company accounts and
 transactions have been eliminated.

 Advertising and Related Costs:

 In accordance with APB 28 Interim Financial Reporting the Company ex
 penses its advertising and related costs proportionately over the interim
 periods based on its total expected costs per its various advertising programs.
 Any necessary accrual or deferral is accordingly reflected in the balance
 sheet for the interim period.  However, for annual reporting purposes, no
 advertising or related costs are capitalized and all are expensed in the fiscal
 year in which they are incurred.

 Cash Equivalents:

 For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all
 highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of less than
 three months to be cash equivalents.

 Inventories:

 Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market.

 Product returns are recorded in inventory when they are received at the lower
 of their original cost or market, as appropriate.  Obsolete inventory is
 written off and its value is removed from inventory at the time its
 obsolescence is determined.

NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 Property and Equipment and Depreciation and Amortization:

 Property and equipment are stated at cost. The Company charges to expense
 repairs and maintenance items, while major improvements and betterments
 are capitalized.  When the Company sells or otherwise disposes of property
 and equipment items, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are
 removed from the respective accounts and any gain or loss is included in
 earnings.

 Depreciation and amortization are provided on the straight-line method over
 the following estimated useful lives or lease terms of the assets:

 Machinery and equipment             7-10 years
 Furniture and fixtures              5-7  years
 Tools, dies and masters             2-7  years
 Transportation equipment            7    years
 Leasehold improvements              7-10 years or life of lease whichever
                                     is shorter

 Intangible Assets:

 Intangible assets are stated at cost.  Patents and trademarks are amortized
 on the straight-line method over a period of 17 years; organization expenses
 are amortized on the straight-line method over five (5) years.

 Tax Credits:

 Tax credits, when present, are accounted for using the flow-through method
 as a reduction of income taxes in the years utilized.

 Earnings Per Share:

 Earnings per share have been computed based on the weighted average of
 outstanding common shares and common stock equivalents during the
 periods, based on the treasury stock method using average market price.

 Since the effect of common stock equivalents is anti-dilutive only the
 weighted average of outstanding common shares has been used.

NOTE 6: SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS AND MARKETABLE SECURITIES

 Short-term investments and marketable securities consist of corporate and
 government bonds and equity securities.  In 1994 the Company adopted the
 accounting principles promulgated by SFAS No. 115 Accounting for Certain
 Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.  The Company has classified its
 investments as Available-for-Sale securities.  Accordingly, such investments
 are reported at fair market value, with the resultant unrealized gains and
 losses reported as a separate component of shareholders' equity.  Prior to
 1994, the Company reported marketable securities at the lower of cost or
 market value; unrealized losses were charged to earnings.

 The market value at August 31, 1995 was $5,085,546 as compared to $5,309,088
 at November 30, 1994.  The cost and market values of the investments
 at August 31, 1995 were as follows:

               MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
                   OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

                                (UNAUDITED)




 For the nine month period ended August 31, 1995, the Company had net sales of
$29,401,865 and net (loss) of ($411,398) after a provision for income taxes of
($225,671) as compared to net sales of $36,351,761 and net income of $2,170,712
after a provision for income taxes of $1,451,367 for the nine month period
ending August 31, 1994.

 The cost of sales percentage for the nine months increased from 36.3% in 1994
to 37% in 1995 primarily due to the higher percentage overhead costs (factored
into the cost of goods) represented in the total cost of goods; as well as
certain product mix fluctuations.  Advertising, cooperative and promotional
allowance expenditures during the quarter increased as a percentage of sales
from 28% in 1994 to 34% in 1995 due to the lower than anticipated sales volume.
As part of the registrant's business it is necessary to enter into co-operative
advertising agreements and other promotional activities with its accounts,
especially upon the introduction of a new product. Both co-op advertising and
promotions have a material effect on the Company's operations. If the
advertising and promotions are successful, revenues will be increased
accordingly. Should the co-op and promotions not be successful, it will have a
negative impact on the Company's promotional cost per sale, and have a negative
effect on income.  The Company attempts to anticipate its advertising and
promotional commitments as a percent of gross sales in order to attempt to
control its effect on its net income. However, sales for the period were lower
then expected and, therefore, the expense as a percentage of sales was higher.
In accordance with APB 28 Interim Financial Reporting the Company expenses its
advertising and related costs proportionately over the interim periods based on
its total expected costs per its various advertising programs.  Consequently a
deferral is accordingly reflected in the balance sheet for the interim period.
Although selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") decreased due to
expenses related to the larger sales volume in the prior year, SG&A as a
percentage of sales increased to 28% from 25% due to the lower volume.

 Income before taxes for the nine months decreased to ($637,069) from
$3,622,079. This was primarily a result of the lower sales as compared to the
prior year.  Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") decreased for
the nine months from $9,003,540 to $8,110,982 primarily due to cost related to
the lower sales volume (i.e. commissions and freight-out).  However, even with
this decrease SG&A still represented 28% of sales for 1995 instead of 25% for
1994 due to the large decrease in sales volume.

               MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
                   OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

                                (UNAUDITED)


 For the three month period ended August 31, 1995, net sales were $9,023,458 as
compared to $11,146,324 for August 31, 1994.  Net income for the quarter before
taxes decreased from $502,874 to ($489,395).  Gross margins of  56% for the
three months ended August 31, 1995 were down from 62% in 1994.  Advertising,
cooperative and promotional allowance expenditures during the quarter increased
from $3,325,575 to $3,646,273.  Selling, general and administrative expenses
were approximately 24% as compared with 23%.

 All of the Company's sales were primarily to drugstore chains, food chains and
mass merchandisers throughout the United States.

 The Company's financial position as at August 31, 1995 consists of current
 assets of $13,923,467 and current liabilities of $6,217,546.  During the nine
 month period ended August 31, 1995, shareholders' equity decreased from
 $11,760,359 at November 30, 1994 to $11,571,107 at August 31, 1995.  This was
 due primarily to the losses sustained for the nine months offset by the
 unrealized gain in certain securities in the Company's investment portfolio of
 $215,686 in addition to the exercise of stock options.

   During the nine months, the Company generated $106,703 from operations and
$774,309 from the sale and liquidation of loans and investments but used
$627,477 to purchase additional property and equipment and marketable
securities.  The Company also used $216,000 to reduce borrowings and generated
$6,460 from stock option exercises.  This resulted in an increase in the
Company's cash of $43,995.

 The Company believes that its current financial condition is sufficient to
 support its proposed operations for the near future.
