NOTE 4 - INCOME TAXES

Deferred  income tax assets and  liabilities  are  recognized  using enacted tax
rates and reflect the expected future tax consequences of temporary  differences
between  recorded  amounts of assets and  liabilities  for  financial  reporting
purposes and tax basis of such assets and liabilities.  A valuation allowance is
recognized to offset a deferred tax asset if the eventual  realization of all or
a portion of the asset is uncertain.

The provision  for income taxes is based on pre-tax  earnings as reported in the
financial  statements  and  adjusted  for  requirements  of current tax law, and
changes in deferred taxes.

The  provision  for  income  taxes  at June 30,  1998  consists  of a  valuation
allowance on deferred taxes.

As of January 1, 1998 the Company had available net operating loss carryovers of
approximately  $6,230,500 to be applied  against future federal  taxable income.
Due to a change in  ownership  during  1988,  $2,638,000  of these  amounts  are
subject to a Section 382  limitation  of a maximum of $476,950 per year.  If the
Company  does not  generate  sufficient  income to use the  maximum  limitation,
remaining amounts  accumulate for use in future periods until the operating loss
expires.  The remaining net operating loss  carryovers  generated after 1988 are
available to be used without yearly  limitation.  For federal tax purposes,  net
operating losses expire as follows:

The Company has available  approximately  $25,500 of federal Alternative Minimum
Tax credits which can be carried forward  indefinitely and offset against future
income taxes.

The Company has available  approximately  $326,000 of  California  net operating
losses which can be carried  forward and offset against  future taxable  income.
These loss carryforwards expire in 2002.

NOTE 4.  INCOME TAXES (continued)

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. A valuation allowance has been established since the
realization of tax benefits of net operating loss  carryforwards is not assured.
The amount of the  valuation  allowance  will be reviewed on a quarterly  basis.
Deferred tax assets consist of the following:

         Net operating loss carryforwards                  $ 2,147,200
         AMT carryforwards                                      25,500

                     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 From
10-QSB or hereafter  included in other publicly  available  documents filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission, report 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  statements.  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  for sales,  the  increase in net sales for the six month period ended
June 30,  1998,  purchasing  plans and  programs of certain  large chain  buyers
relating to holiday product recently experienced 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.

Sales

For the six months  ended June 30, 1998,  the  Company's  net sales  amounted to
$1,716,998  which  reflected  a marginal  increase  versus last year's six month
results of $1,713,193 or 0.2%. Revenues from the collectibles line accounted for
$181,000 or 10.5% of revenues to date. Factoring out Collectibles  revenues from
our paper  lines  finished  the six month  period  down 10.3%  below last year's
levels.

For the three months ended June 30, 1998,  the Company's  net sales  amounted to
$739,740  representing  a shortfall  of $145,172  versus last year's three month
results of $884,912 or 16.4%.  Revenues from the Collectibles line accounted for
$97,000 of the quarter's sales or 13.1%. Excluding Collectibles revenues for the
quarter fell by $242,172 or 27.4%.

Gross Profit

For the six months  ended June 30, 1998,  gross  profit  amounted to $354,005 or
20.6% of sales. For the comparable  prior year period,  gross profit amounted to
$933,420  or 54.4% of  sales.  The  decline  at gross  margin  was a result of a
close-out  sale  combined  with a provision  for obsolete  inventory  depressing
current  year's  gross margin by $576,000.  Without the  provision  for obsolete
inventory and close-out

sale, gross profit would have amounted to $930,005 or 54.2% of revenues.

For the three months ended June 30, 1998, a loss at gross profit was incurred in
the  amount  of  $195,200.  Factoring  out the  impact of a  close-out  sale and
obsolete  inventory  provision  made  during the current  three month  period of
$576,000  gross  profit  would have been  $380,800  or 51.5%  versus last year's
quarter of $468,137 or 52.9%.

Operating Expenses

For the six months ended June 30, 1998, selling, shipping and marketing expenses
amounted to $582,987  reflecting an increase of $124,882 versus the prior year's
level of $458,045 or 27.2%. Increased commissions,  advertising and travel costs
associated  with  the new  collectibles  line  accounted  for  the  year to year
increase.

For the three  months  ended June 30,  1998,  selling,  shipping  and  marketing
expenses  amounted to $280,399  reflecting  an increase of $49,771 or 21.5% over
the previous year's level of $230,628.  Increased  commissions,  advertising and
travel costs  associated  with the new product launch  accounted for the year to
year increase.

General and  administrative  expenses  amounted  to $927,333  for the six months
ended June 30,  1998,  reflecting  an increase  of $137,049 or 17.3%  versus the
prior year period of $790,284.  Increased  professional fees and the addition of
personnel for the new collectibles line accounted for the year to year increase.

General and  administrative  expenses  amounted to $478,892 for the three months
ended June 30,  1998,  reflecting  an increase  of $105,736 or 28.3%  versus the
prior year quarter of $373,156.  Increased professional fees and the addition of
personnel for the new collectibles line accounted for the year to year increase.

Income

An  operating  loss of  $1,156,255  or $.51 per share was  incurred  for the six
months  ended June 30, 1998.  Net interest and other income of $119,902  reduced
the operating loss to result in a net loss of $1,036,353 or $.46 per share.  For
the prior year period, the operating loss amounted to $314,909 or $.17 per share
and loss before taxes amounted to $236,833. Increased operating costs associated
with the new  collectibles  line,  the close-out  slow-moving  inventory and the
write down of obsolete  inventory  resulted in the six month loss.  Net loss for
the six months  ended June 30, 1998  amounted to  $1,336,353  or $.59 per share,
compared to the prior year's net loss of $458,833 or $.25 per share.  During the
current  quarter a  $300,000  valuation  allowance  was placed on  deferred  tax
assets.  Under Statement of Financial  Accounting Standard No. 109,  "Accounting
for Income Taxes", a valuation allowance is recognized to

offset a deferred tax asset if the eventual  realization  of all or a portion of
the asset is uncertain.  Due to the loss for the six months ended June 30, 1998,
the realization of tax benefits from net operating loss  carryforwards  expected
to be used in 1998 is not assured. The amount of the valuation allowance will be
reviewed and may be adjusted on a quarterly basis.

Balance Sheet

Total assets at June 30, 1998 amounted to $6,464,416  which reflected a decrease
versus the prior year level of $8,036,000  by $1,571,584 or 19.6%.  A decline in
cash, fixed assets, deferred taxes, receivables,  and inventories were offset in
part by increases in fixed assets,  prepaid  expenses and royalties to result in
the period to period decline.  Total current liabilities amounted to $645,804 as
of June 30, 1998 versus the December  31, 1997 level of  $806,000.  The decrease
was a result of the paydown of accrued  seasonal  commissions and trade payables
during the six month period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 30, 1998,  the Company's  working  capital was  $4,366,580  reflecting a
decrease  of  $1,039,420  versus the  working  capital at  December  31, 1997 of
$5,406,000.  Cash of $867,715  was used  during the period to support  operating
activities.  Cash  of  $75,792  was  used  for  capital  expenditures  -  mainly
separations and publishing  rights for new card images for 1998. Cash of $92,654
was used to pay a note related to the Corlett Collectibles acquisition.

The present primary sources of the Company's  liquidity has been cash internally
generated from operations,  proceeds obtained by the Company through the private
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 June 30, 1998,
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.
