NOTE 4 - INCOME TAXES

          At March  31,  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:



                                                Year Ending December 31,

                           2002                              $2,638,600
                           2003                               1,222,000
                           2004                               1,299,100
                           2005                                 383,300
                           2006                                  31,700
                           2012                                 655,800
                                                             ----------
                                                             $6,230,500
                                                             ==========

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.

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 federal
net operating loss carryforwards.

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 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 inrease in net sales for the three month
period ended March 31,  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.  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 three  months  ended March 31, 1998,  the  Company's  net sales
amounted to $977,258 which reflected an increase of $148,977 or 17.9% versus the
prior  year level of  $828,281. An  increase  of $85,000 or 10.3% was due to the
inclusion of the Company's new  Collectible  business  acquired late in 1997. In
addition, an expansion of our bookmark program, reflecting an increase of 17.5%,
was offset by  decreases in the base Sierra Club and Nature Baby  businesses  of
14.1% and 57.7%  respectively,  to result in the overall  increase of 18.0%. The
Sierra  Club  decrease  was due in part to the  loss of  Barnes  and  Noble as a
customer in the fall of 1997.

Gross Profit

        For the three  months ended March 31,  1998,  gross  profit  amounted to
$549,205 or 56.1% of sales.  This level of gross profit percentage was at parity
with the previous year's three month results of $465,282 or 56.1% of sales.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

            FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)


Operating Expenses

         For the three  months  ended  March 31,  1998,  selling,  shipping  and
marketing expenses amounted to $302,528  reflecting an increase versus the prior
year's level of $75,111 or 33%. Costs associated with the new product launch for
advertising, promotion and travel accounted for the quarter to quarter increase.

        General and  administrative  expenses amounted to $448,441 for the three
months  ended March 31, 1998,  reflecting  an increase of $31,313 or 7.5% versus
the prior year quarter of $417,128.  Decreases in legal fees and insurance costs
were offset by increased  manpower costs  associated with the acquisition of the
Collectibles line.

Income

         An  operating loss of $201,764 or ($.09) per share was incurred for the
three months ended March 31, 1998.  Interest and other income of $61,043 reduced
the  operating loss to result in a net loss of $140,721 or ($.06) per share. For
the prior year  quarter, the net loss  amounted to $129,654 or ($.07) per share.
Increased  operating costs associated with the new Collectibles line resulted in
the current year quarter's loss. 

Balance Sheet

         Total assets  amounted to $7,741,930 as of March 31, 1998  reflecting a
decrease  versus the December  31, 1997 level of  $8,036,000  or  $294,070.  The
period  to period  decrease  was a result of  decreased  cash  offset in part by
increased  accounts  receivables,   inventories  royalty  advances  and  prepaid
expenses.  Total current  liabilities  amounted to $671,060 as of March 31, 1998
versus the December 31, 1997 level of $806,000. The decrease was a result of the
paydown of seasonal commissions and trade payable during the quarter.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         At March  31,  1998,  the  Company's  working  capital  was  $5,310,631
reflecting a decrease of $95,369 versus working  capital at December 31, 1997 of
$5,406,000.  Cash of $792,129  was used  during the period to support  operating
activities  primarily  used for  inventory of new product and royalty  advances.
Cash provided by investment activities amounted to $239,762 primarily associated
with the sale of marketable  securities.  Cash of $26,095 was used to pay a note
related to the Corlett Collectibles acquisition. The Company remains liquid with
a current ratio of 8.9:1.

         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
with  interest at the bank's  Index Rate plus .75% or 8.75% as of  3/31/98.  The
Company draws on this line from time to time on a short term basis; however, the
Company did not utilize the line of credit during this  quarter. As of March 31,
1998, there were no borrowings 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.
