NOTE 4 - INCOME TAXES

At September 30, 1999, the Company had available net operating  loss  carryovers
of approximately $8,765,500 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  $1,776,300 of California net operating
losses which can be carried  forward and offset against  future taxable  income.
These loss carryforwards expire through 2004.

Management of the Company  believes it is more likely than not that a portion of
the  federal  net  operating  loss  carryforwards  will  be  utilized  prior  to
expiration.  A valuation  allowance has been established  against  remaining net
operating loss carryforwards.

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:






            Accounts receivable allowances                      198,600
            Inventory reserve                                   426,300

                     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 decrease in net sales for the nine month period ended
September 30, 1999,  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.  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 nine months ended  September  30,  1999,  the  Company's  net sales
amounted  to  $2,517,262  which  reflected a decrease of $234,390 or 8.5% versus
last year's nine month results of  $2,751,652.  Paper product sales declined 30%
due  primarily  to card and  bookmark  sales down  collectively  by 31.8%.  This
decline was offset in part by increased Collectibles sales of $64,086,  revenues
of $303,206  from the recently  acquired  Evergreen  Group of product  lines and
revenues of $111,000 from the recently introduced Henna kits..

     For the three months ended  September  30, 1999,  the  Company's  net sales
amounted to $1,182,026  which  reflected an increase of $147,372 or 14.2% versus
last  year's  three  month  results of  $1,034,654.  An  increase  of $25,635 in
Collectibles  sales,  revenues of $176,259 from the recently acquired  Evergreen
Group of product  lines and revenues of $111,000  from the  recently  introduced
Henna Kits offset the 19.0% decrease in paper product sales.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

            FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)



Gross Profit

     For the nine months  ended  September  30, 1999,  gross profit  amounted to
$1,151,879 or 45.8% of sales. For the comparable prior year period, gross profit
amounted  to $268,925  or 9.8% of sales.  Included  in last year's  costs were a
close-out  sale and a provision  for  obsolete  inventory  totaling  $1,045,000.
Increased  Collectible,  Evergreen  and Henna sales  offset by  declining  paper
product sales accounted for the adjusted period to period increase.

     For the three months ended  September  30, 1999,  gross profit  amounted to
$595,175 or 58.3% of sales.  For the comparable  prior year period, a gross loss
of $85,080 was incurred. Included in last year's costs were a close-out sale and
a provision  for  obsolete  inventory  totaling  $319,000.  The period to period
increase  was caused by a shortfall  in paper  product  sales  offset in part by
increased Collectible, Evergreen and Henna sales.

Operating Expenses

     For the nine  months  ended  September  30,  1999,  selling,  shipping  and
marketing  expenses  amounted to $761,355  reflecting  a decrease of $188,396 or
19.8% versus the prior year's level of $949,751. Lower commissions,  advertising
and catalog  costs offset in part by increased  sales  salaries  resulted in the
year to year decline.

     For the three  months  ended  September  30,  1999,  selling,  shipping and
marketing  expenses  amounted  to $301,568  reflecting  a decrease of $65,256 or
17.7% versus the prior year's level of $366,824. Lower commissions,  advertising
and catalog  costs offset in part by increased  sales  salaries  resulted in the
year to year decline

     General and  administrative  expenses  amounted to $1,617,992  for the nine
months ended  September  30, 1999,  reflecting  an increase of $166,561 or 11.5%
versus the prior year period of $1,451,341.  Increased professional fees and the
addition of our recent acquisition of the Evergreen Group accounted for the year
to year increase.

     General and  administrative  expenses  amounted  to $627,493  for the three
months ended  September  30, 1999,  reflecting  an increase of $103,935 or 19.7%
versus the prior year period $524,098. The year to year increase was a result of
the acquisition and addition of the Evergreen Group.

Income

     An operating loss of $1,227,468 or $.35 per share was incurred for the nine
months ended September 30, 1999.  Interest and other income of $123,736  reduced
the operating  loss to result in a net loss before income taxes of $1,103,732 or
$.32 per share. For the prior year period, the net loss before income taxes

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

            FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)


Income   (continued)

amounted to  $1,952,102  or $.86 per share.  Net loss for the nine months  ended
September 30, 1999  amounted to  $1,104,532  or $.32 per share,  compared to the
prior year's net loss of  $2,452,102  or $1.08 per share.  All per share amounts
are based on the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period.

Balance Sheet

     Total assets at September 30, 1999 amounted to $5,162,115  which  reflected
an increase  versus the  December  31, 1998 level of  $4,639,800  by $522,315 or
11.3%. An increase in receivables, prepaid expenses, inventories, royalties, and
fixed  assets  were  offset  in  part  by a  decrease  in  cash.  Total  current
liabilities  amounted to $777,530 as of  September  30, 1999 versus the December
31, 1998 level of  $655,700.  The  increase  was a result of  increases in trade
payables,  royalties and accruals  offset in part by the paydown of  commissions
and an existing note payable.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     At  September  30,  1999,  the  Company's  working  capital was  $2,728,466
reflecting  an increase of $157,366  versus the working  capital at December 31,
1998  of  $2,571,100.   Net  cash  used  by  operating  activities  amounted  to
$1,292,132.  Operating  losses  required  $1,317,362  in cash  offset in part by
$25,230 provided by changes in the net receivables,  inventory, other assets and
liabilities.  Cash used by investing  activities amounted to $474,718 consisting
principally of $285,000 used in the recent  acquisition  of the Evergreen  Group
and the balance used to purchase computer equipment and new information systems,
color separations,  and publishing rights. Cash provided by financing activities
consisted of $1,494,094 in cash as net proceeds from a rights offering completed
in  March  of  1999  and  $95,604  used  to  repay a note  associated  with  our
Collectibles acquisition.

      The  Company  believes  and  anticipates  that the  primary  source of its
liquidity and capital  resources  for its coming  fiscal year will  primarily be
from cash on hand and from cash  internally  generated from sales;  all of which
the Company  believes will be adequate and  sufficient  for its  operations  for
1999.  The  Company  believes  that its cash on hand is  sufficient  to  sustain
operations  at  current  sales  levels for at least two  years.  The  Company is
hopeful  that sales of its new  Collectibles  line and the  introduction  of the
newly  acquired  Evergreen  Group  product line will help offset the declines in
sales of  greeting  cards.  The  Company  will  also  continue  to  explore  the
acquisition  of new product lines as a means for augmenting  sales.  There is no
assurance,  however,  that  sales  from  the  Collectibles  product  line or the
Evergreen  Group  product  line,  or any other  new  product  line  which may be
acquired  will  be   sufficient   to  satisfy  the  Company's   long  term  cash
requirements.  If they  do not,  the  Company  would  seek  equity  and/or  debt
financing in order to obtain the additional capital that would be needed.

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.
