                          Notes to Financial Statements

                             June 30, 1997 and 1996
                                   (unaudited)
    

   
(1)    Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
    

   
       Description of Business
    

   
       Nutrition 21, a California limited partnership (the "Partnership"), was
       formed in October 1973 and develops, produces, and markets proprietary
       nutrition products and dietary supplements. The Partnership's primary
       products, chromium picolinate, accounted for 80% and 89% of sales for the
       six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Nutrition products
       and dietary supplements are subject to regulation, including certain
       regulations of the US Food and Drug Administration, the Federal Trade
       Commission, and various state regulatory agencies. The Partnership
       maintains several licenses and agreements with suppliers, manufacturers,
       founding scientists, and patent holders in connection with the
       manufacturing, marketing, and distribution of its products.
    

   
       Cash and Cash Equivalents
    

   
       Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 1997, consist of checking, savings,
       and money market funds with an initial term of less than three months.
       For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Partnership considers
       all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three
       months or less to be cash equivalents.
    

   
       Revenue Recognition
    

   
       The Partnership recognizes revenue when earned, generally when products
       are shipped.
    

   
       Inventories
    

   
       Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined
       using either the first in, first out method or the average cost method
       depending on the product.
    

   
       Property and Equipment
    

   
       Property and equipment are recorded at cost, net of accumulated
       depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method
       over the estimated useful lives of the assets which range from 5 to 7
       years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of their
       estimated useful life or related lease term.
    

   
       Patents, Licenses and Trademarks
    

   
       The Partnership capitalizes certain legal costs and acquisition costs
       related to patents, licenses and trademarks. Accumulated costs are
       amortized over the lesser of the legal lives or the estimated economic
       lives of the proprietary rights, generally five to ten years, using the
       straight-line method and commencing at the time the patents are issued or
       the license is acquired. Capitalized costs are written off to expense at
       the time the underlying proprietary rights are deemed to have no
       continuing value.
    
                                                                             9

                          Notes to Financial Statements

                             June 30, 1997 and 1996
                                   (unaudited)
    

   
       Research and Development, and Advertising
    

   
       Research and development, and advertising costs are expensed as incurred.
       Advertising costs amounted to $1,907,461 and $1,662,606 for the six
       months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
    

   
       Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed 
       Of
    

   
       The Partnership adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial
       Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
       Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of," on
       January 1, 1996. This Statement requires that long-lived assets and
       certain identifiable intangibles be reviewed for impairment whenever
       events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of
       an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and
       used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to
       future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such
       assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is
       measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceed
       the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at
       the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.
       Adoption of this Statement did not have a material impact on the
       Partnership's financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.
    

   
       Income Taxes
    

   
       For federal and state income tax purposes, partnership tax liability is
       that of the individual partners, not the partnership. Since many types of
       transactions are susceptible to varying interpretations under federal and
       state income tax laws and regulations, the amounts reported by the
       Partnership or by the participants in their individual income tax returns
       may be subject to change at a later date upon final determination by the
       respective taxing authorities. The Partnership uses the cash method of
       reporting income and expenses for tax purposes.
    

   
       Use of Estimates
    

   
       Management of the Partnership has made a number of estimates and
       assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the
       disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
       financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses
       during the reporting period to prepare these financial statements in

       conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Actual results
       could differ from those estimates.
    
                                                                             10

(3)    Allocations of Income, Losses and Cash Distributions
    

   
       The partnership agreement requires the allocation of income and losses of
       the Partnership among the General Partner and Limited Partners at 48% and
       52%, respectively. Cash available for distribution is to be distributed
       to the General Partner and Limited Partners at 48% and 52%, respectively.
    

   
(4)    Royalty and Licensing Agreements
    

   
       In 1985, the National Technical Information Service (NTIS), a United
       States governmental agency, granted Nutrition 21 exclusive licenses under
       a US Patent owned by the United States Government (the "Patent") to
       manufacture, market, and sell certain metal picolinate complexes and a
       non-exclusive licenses to manufacture, market, and sell certain other
       picolinate complexes. Under the terms of the licenses, the Partnership is
       required to pay an annual non-refundable maintenance fee of $2,500 to
       NTIS along with a bi-annual royalty fee based on a percentage of net
       sales. The licenses expire on August 8, 2000 in conjunction with the
       expiration of the Patent. The Partnership recognized expenses related to
       these licenses of $282,307 and $237,385 for the six months ended June 30,
       1997 and 1996, respectively.
    

   
       The Partnership has an agreement with an individual pursuant to which the
       Partnership pays a royalty to the individual based on a percentage of net
       sales for all products covered by the Patent licensed to Nutrition 21 by
       the NTIS. This agreement continues through August 8, 2000. The
       Partnership recognized expenses related to this agreement of $387,658 and
       $501,579 for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
    

   
       The Partnership has an agreement with another individual pursuant to
       which the Partnership pays a royalty based on a percentage of net sales
       for certain yeast and picolinate products covered by the Patent. In the
       case of the individual's death, the royalties will be paid directly to
       the estate for a certain period of time. The Partnership recognized
       expenses related to this agreement of $110,652 and $25,270 for the six

       Rent expense for all leased facilities and equipment was $31,133 and
       $28,617 for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
    

   
       Litigation
    

   
       At December 31, 1996, the Company was a defendant in a lawsuit that
       alleged, among other things, a breach of oral and implied contracts
       related to the distribution of chromium picolinate. In January 1997, the
       Partnership settled the lawsuit. Settlement costs of $408,750 were
       accrued during 1996.
    

   
(6)    Infringement Settlement
    

   
       In November 1995, the Partnership was a plaintiff in a lawsuit with a
       competitor that alleged, among other things, patent infringements related
       to chromium picolinate. In April 1996, the Partnership settled the
       lawsuit and recognized income of $449,120 related to the settlement.
    

   
(7)    Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Decision and Order
    

   
       In July 1997, the Partnership and the FTC entered into a Consent Order,
       which, among other things, requires that claims or representations for
       dietary supplements be supported by competent and reliable evidence on
       benefits, performance efficacy and safety. The Consent Order requires
       that the Partnership advise its customers who resell chromium picolinate
       to the public not to make certain claims which the FTC deems not to be
       sufficiently supported.
    
                                                                             12

(8)    Subsequent Event
    

   
       On August 11, 1997, AMBI Inc. ("AMBI") purchased all General and Limited
       partnership interests of the Partnership. The purchase price for the
       acquisition was $10 million, subject to an adjustment based on a target
       net book value, and 500,000 restricted shares of AMBI common stock. The
       purchase also provided for annual contingent future payments for each of

       the next four years of $2.5 million adjusted for the achievement of
       certain sales levels, and royalties of 2.5% to 5% of net sales of
       products recommended for certain patented uses. In addition, if prior to
       August 10, 1998, AMBI terminates for other than cause, the employment of
       certain individuals, AMBI will be required to make termination payments
       to such individuals. Additionally, AMBI entered into a two-year
       consulting agreement with the former Chief Executive Officer and general
       partner who agreed not to compete with Nutrition 21 for a period of two
       years after the termination of the consulting agreement.
    
                                                                             13

ITEM 7(b).    PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The accompanying unaudited pro forma financial information is presented to show
the pro forma effect of the acquisition of the N21 business on AMBI's historical
financial position and results of operations under the purchase method of
accounting.

   
The Pro Forma Combined Statement of Operations for the year ended June 30, 1997
assumes the acquisition was consummated on July 1, 1996. The Pro Forma Combined
Balance Sheet as of June 30, 1997 assumes the acquisition was consummated on
that date. N21's fiscal year ends on December 31. The financial information of
N21 has been conformed with AMBI's June 30, 1997 fiscal year end and is derived
from N21's internal accounting records.
    

The pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of the
financial position or results of operations as they may be in the future or as
they would have been had the transactions been effected on the assumed dates.
AMBI expects to achieve cost savings by reducing administrative overhead costs
and the renegotiation of select royalty agreements. (see footnote 4)

The pro forma financial information should be read in conjunction with AMBI's
historical consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in its
1997 10-K, the enclosed audited historical financial statements for the business
acquired and the description of the transaction under Item 2 in the 8-K filed
August 25, 1997.

                                                                             14
