NOTE 4 - INCOME TAXES

  As of January 1, 1996 the Company had available federal net operating loss and
investment  tax credit  carryforwards  of  approximately  $5,090,000 and $15,600
respectively  to be applied  against future  federal  taxable  income,  of which
$3,339,000 of net operating losses are subject to a limitation under Section 382
of  the  Internal  Revenue  Code  of  $476,950  per  year.  Also  available  are
approximately  $34,000 of alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards to reduce
future federal and California regular income taxes over an indefinite period. In
1992, when the Company adopted FAS 109,  Accounting for Income Taxes, it reduced
the deferred  income tax benefit of these loss  carryforwards  by establishing a
valuation  allowance.  For the quarter and the nine months ended  September  30,
1995, a portion of the valuation  allowance was  eliminated,  resulting in a net
income tax benefit of $760,717 and $882,417  respectively.  Based on anticipated
growth in future years,  the Company  believes it will fully  utilize  available
Federal net operating losses prior to expiration.

  The income tax provision of $235,810 in 1996 is  approximately  40% of pre-tax
earnings.  The Company has  substantial  net operating  loss  carryforwards  and
credits  available to offset  future  income tax  liabilities.  The expected tax
effect of these  losses and credits are  reflected as deferred tax assets on the
accompanying  balance  sheet.  The income tax provision in 1996 will result in a
reduction  of this  asset,  in lieu of  payment  of  taxes.  Accordingly,  as of
September 30, 1996, deferred tax assets have been reduced by $235,810.  Deferred
tax assets consist of the following:


                Net operating loss carryforwards   $ 1,494,590
                AMT carryforwards                       34,000
                Other                                  271,780

                                                     1,800,370

                Deferred income taxes expected
                   to be utilized currently           (740,000)

Item 2. 

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

  Certain statements in this Form 10-QSB,  including information set forth under
this Item 2  "Management's  Discussion  and Analysis of Financial  Condition and
Results  of  Operations"  constitute  "forward-looking  statements"  within  the
meaning of the Private  Securities  Litigation  Reform Act of 1995 (the  "Act").
Healthy Planet Products, Inc. (the "Company") desires to avail itself of certain
"safe harbor" provisions of the Act and is therefore including this special note
to enable the Company to do so. Forward-looking statements included in this Form
10-QSB or hereafter  included in other publicly  available  documents filed with
the Securities and Exchange  Commission,  reports to the Company's  stockholders
and other  publicly  available  statements  issued or  released  by the  Company
involve known and unknown  risks,  uncertainties,  and other factors which could
cause the  Company's  actual  results,  performance  (financial or operating) or
achievements  to differ  from the  future  results,  performance  (financial  or
operating)  achievements expressed or implied by such forward looking statement.
Such  future  results  are based upon  management's  best  estimates  based upon
current  conditions  and the most recent  results of  operations.  These include
management's  forecasts  of increased  sales,  the decrease in net sales for the
nine and three month  period ended  September  30,  1996,  purchasing  plans and
programs of certain  large chain  buyers  relating to holiday  product  recently
experienced  a decline in gross margin as well as marginal  increases in general
and  administrative  expenses,  the recent  adverse trend in the general  retail
environment, general economic conditions, competition generally and specifically
relating to greeting cards having  environmental,  nature or wildlife themes and
the  ability  of the  Company  to  sustain  consumer  demand  for the  Company's
principal  Sierra  Club card line.  In  addition,  the ability of the Company to
enhance and expand its product mix and to  successfully  introduce  new products
which will meet with consumer  acceptance  may also affect future  results.  The
Company to date has been materially  dependent upon the efforts of Messrs. Bruce
Wilson and M. Scott Foster, who constitute the Company's core senior management.
The loss of either Mr. Wilson's or Mr.  Foster's  services may have a materially
adverse effect upon the business or operations of the Company.

Sales

 For the nine months ended  September 30, 1996, the Company's net sales amounted
to $3,730,434 versus the prior year nine month result of $4,627,557 representing
a decrease of $897,123 or 19.4%. Barnes & Noble and The Nature Company accounted
for $621,000 or 69.2% of the revenue  decline due to their decision not to order
holiday  merchandise  this  year.  Barnes & Noble  continues  to carry  everyday
product on a store by store basis.  The balance of the decline can be attributed
to everyday  business which has been adversely  impacted  during 1996 due to the
general economic downturn at retail.

  For the  three  months  ended  September  30,  1996,  net  sales  amounted  to
$1,910,038  which  reflected a decrease of $680,654 or 26.3%  versus last years'
three  month  results  of  $2,590,692.  Barnes & Noble  and The  Nature  Company
accounted for the overall decrease in revenues due to their not ordering holiday
merchandise this year.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

            FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)


Gross Profit

  For the nine  months  ended  September  30,  1996,  gross  profit  amounted to
$2,296,797 or 61.6% of sales.  For the comparable  prior year nine month period,
gross profit  amounted to $2,864,258 or 61.9% of sales.  Lower overall sales and
higher returns of last year's seasonal  merchandise  contributed to the marginal
decline in gross margin.

  For the three  months ended  September  30,  1996,  gross  profit  amounted to
$1,117,208  or 58.5% of sales.  For the  comparable  prior year  quarter,  gross
profit  amounted  to  $1,517,919  or 56.0% of  sales.  Lower  sales of  seasonal
products which have lower gross margins versus everyday sales contributed to the
period to period increase in gross margin.

Operating Expenses

  For the nine months ended September 30, 1996, selling,  shipping and marketing
expenses amounted to $662,885 reflecting a decrease of $148,303 versus the prior
year's level of $811,188.  Lower  commissions,  bonuses and shipping expenses on
lower net sales combined to comprise the decrease.

  For the three months ended September 30, 1996, selling, shipping and marketing
expenses  amounted to $280,074  reflecting  an decrease of $135,834  versus last
year's level of $415,908.  Lower  commissions,  bonuses and shipping expenses on
lower net sales combined to comprise the decrease.

  General and administrative expenses amounted to $1,301,475 for the nine months
ended  September  30,  1996,  reflecting a slight  marginal  increase of $25,252
versus  last  year's  level of  $1,276,223.  Higher  rent on the  Company's  new
facility,  moving expenses and the abandonment of leasehold  improvements in its
former facility accounted for the period to period increase.

  For the three months ended  September  30,, 1996,  general and  administrative
expenses amounted to $569,073 reflecting an increase of $63,608 versus the prior
year level of $505,465.  Higher rent on the Company's new facility accounted for
substantially all of the increase.

Income

  Operating  income amounted to $332,437 for the nine months ended September 30,
1996  reflecting a decrease of $444,410 versus the prior year level of $776,847.
The decline at gross margin offset in part by lower operating expenses accounted
for the period to period  operating  income  decline.  For the nine months ended
September 30, 1996, the Company's  operating income before taxes was $589,526 or
$.29 per share.  For the  comparable  prior year  period,  the  Company  had net
operating income before taxes of $875,790 or $.43 per share. Income before taxes
decreased  by $286,284 on a period to period  basis.  Included in the net income
before taxes was approximately  $90,000 in accrued rent taken into other income.
In accordance with FAS13,

            FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

Income   (continued)

Accounting  For  Leases,  the  Company  was  required  to accrue rent on its old
facility  based on the  straight-line  method versus  accruing rent based on the
annually  increasing  base  rent  schedule.  Excess  of rent  expense  over cash
payments created a deferred credit.  The new lease released the Company from all
liability under its former lease.

  The income tax provision of $235,810 in 1996 is  approximately  40% of pre-tax
earnings.  The Company has  substantial  net operating  loss  carryforwards  and
credits  available to offset  future  income tax  liabilities.  The expected tax
effect of these  losses and credits are  reflected as deferred tax assets on the
accompanying  balance  sheet.  The income tax provision in 1996 will result in a
reduction  of this  asset,  in lieu of  payment  of  taxes.  Accordingly,  as of
September 30, 1996,  deferred tax assets have been reduced by $235,810.  For the
comparable  quarter last year,  net income  finished at  $1,758,207  or $.86 per
share.  Included in last year's nine month net income was a $882,417  tax credit
due to the adoption of FAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. The comparative per
share  data is based  on  weighted  average  shares  outstanding  in each of the
respective periods.

Balance Sheet

  Total  assets  amounted  to  $8,937,569  as of  September  30, 1996 versus the
December 31, 1995 level of $8,418,300,  reflecting an increase of $519,269.  The
period to period  increase  was  caused by  increases  in  receivables,  royalty
advances, inventory, prepaid expenses, capital expenditures and deferred assets,
and other  assets  offset  by a  decrease  in cash.  Total  current  liabilities
amounted to $757,441 at September 30, 1996 versus the December 31, 1995 level of
$707,900.  The  increase  was the  result of  increases  in trade and  royalties
payable  offset by decreases in  commissions,  bonuses,  and the  elimination of
deferred rent accrued on the Company's former facility.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

  At September 30, 1996, the Company's working capital was $6,422,751 reflecting
an increase of $573,551 over working capital at December 31, 1995 of $5,849,200.
Cash of  $747,657  was used during the period to support  operating  activities.
Cash of  $269,098  was used during the period for  capital  expenditures.  Major
capital  expenditures  for the period included a $137,500  contribution  for the
construction of the Company's new facility. Cash of $90,000 was generated by the
exercise of employee stock options.

  The  present  primary  sources  of  the  Company's  liquidity  has  been  cash
internally  generated from operations,  proceeds obtained by the Company through
the public sale of its  securities,  and the  availability  of a secured line of
credit. The Company has a $500,000 secured line of credit from Westamerica Bank.
The Company  draws on this line from time to time on a short term  basis.  As of
September 30, 1996, there was no outstanding amount under this line of credit.

Effects of Inflation

  The Company does not view the effects of inflation as having a material effect
upon its  business.  Increases  in paper and  labor  costs  have been  offset by
increases  in the price of the  Company's  cards and through  higher print runs,
which  have  reduced  the unit cost of the  Company's  card  product.  While the
Company has in the past increased its prices to its customers, it has maintained
its relative  competitive  price  position  within the general range of greeting
cards.
