     Item 2.       Management's Discussion  and Analysis of  Financial Condition
                   -------------------------------------------------------------
                   and Results of Operations
                   -------------------------

     1.  Financial Condition

     Current assets of the Company at June 30, 1998 increased to $7,754,000 from
$6,745,000 as of December 31, 1997,  primarily due to increases in cash and cash
equivalents and  inventories.  Cash and cash equivalents  increased  $677,000 to
$3,103,000 as a result of 1998 net income of $1,145,000.  Inventories  increased
to $2,968,000 from  $2,643,000 at December 31, 1997,  mainly due to the increase
of $249,000 in raw material inventory to meet higher production  requirements as
compared to year end 1997.

     Net property, plant and equipment increased to $10,030,000 at June 30, 1998
from  $9,221,000  at December 31, 1997 due to completion of the expansion of the
Company's   headquarters   and  related   increases  in  office,   computer  and
manufacturing  equipment.  The Company added approximately 90,000 square feet to
its facility by expanding office, warehouse and manufacturing areas. The Company
began utilizing the additional space in the first quarter 1998.

     Current  liabilities  increased  to  $4,390,000  at  June  30,  1998,  from
$3,653,000 at December 31, 1997. Trade accounts payable  increased to $1,775,000
compared  to  $1,433,000  at  December  31,  1997 as a result  of the  increased
investment in  inventories,  primarily raw  materials.  Distributor  commissions
payable  and  sales  taxes  payable   increased  to  $1,575,000   and  $247,000,
respectively,  at June 30, 1998,  from  $1,327,000  and $192,000 at December 31,
1997,  as a result of  increased  sales  volume in June,  1998,  as  compared to
December, 1997.


     Stockholder's  equity increased by $795,000 to $7,963,000 at June 30, 1998.
The Company's  working capital balance  increased by $273,000 since December 31,
1997,  with a current ratio of 1.77 as compared to 1.85 as of December 31, 1997.





                                        2

<PAGE>



The increase in stockholder's  equity and working capital is due to year to date
net income of the Company. The Company paid cash dividends of $96,000 on January
29, 1998 and $145,000 on June 22, 1998. The Company  anticipates  that its cash,
working  capital  balance  and  existing  credit  will be  adequate  to meet its
operating needs in the future, based on current and projected revenue levels.

     2.  Results of Operations
         ---------------------

     The  Company  had a net  profit of  $513,000,  or $.05 per  share,  for the
quarter ended June 30, 1998,  compared to a net profit of $594,000,  or $.06 per
share,  for the same period of 1997. Net sales for the period improved  slightly
to $11,994,000  from  $11,771,000  in 1997.  During the second quarter 1998, net
sales  from  network   marketing   activities   increased  to  $11,823,000  from
$11,384,000 in the same period 1997, while sales of contract  packaging services
declined to $171,000 from $387,000 in 1997.

     Net sales from network  marketing  activities were comprised of $10,663,000
from  sales  in  the  United  States  and  $1,160,000   from  sales  of  foreign
subsidiaries  in Australia,  Canada,  Mexico,  New Zealand and a licensee in the
United  Kingdom.  This  compares to  $10,042,000  and  $1,342,000  in the second
quarter 1997. The  distributor  sales force in the United States,  the Company's
primary  market,  decreased  5% in new sign-ups and  distributor  renewals  when
compared to the quarter ending June 30, 1997.

     The Company  provides  contract  packaging  services,  including  blending,
processing  and  packaging  food  products  in  accordance  with  specifications
provided by its  customers.  During the expansion of the  Company's  facility in
1997,  efforts to increase  contract  services were decreased until the facility
was  completed.  This resulted in the decline in net sales in the second quarter
1998, as compared to the same period in 1997. The Company has increased  efforts
to develop  new  contract  packaging  services  income  and has begun  providing
services to former  customers.  The Company  anticipates  increases  in contract
services income in the second half of 1998.

     Cost of  network  marketing  products  sold as a  percentage  of net  sales
remained constant at 16.9% for the second quarter of 1998 and the same period in
1997. Cost of goods have remained within the guidelines  established for product
pricing  despite  additional   overhead  realized  with  the  expansion  of  the
manufacturing  facility.  The Company has been able to offset these increases by
lowering raw material costs and improving  manufacturing  controls.  The Company
believes an increase in contract packaging services will improve  utilization of
its facility and therefore lower costs.

     Distributor royalties and commissions declined slightly to 37.4% of network
marketing  sales in the  second  quarter  1998,  compared  to 37.8% for the same
period in 1997.  These expenses are governed by the  distributor  agreements and
are directly  related to the level of sales. The Company pays a percent of sales
up to 18% in  royalties  and as much as 45% in  commissions.  In  addition,  the
Company  paid  royalties  of $219,000 in second  quarter  1998  through  various
incentive  programs that reward  distributors  who have reached,  and personally
assisted other qualified distributors to reach specified levels of compensation.
These programs paid $253,000 in the second quarter 1997.

     Selling, general and administrative expense increased to $4,438,000, in the
second quarter 1998 compared to $4,168,000 in the same period 1997.  Expenses in
the second  quarter 1998 were  affected by new overhead  expenses as a result of
the addition to the office,  manufacturing and warehouse  facility and increased
efforts and investment  made to improve results in  international  subsidiaries.
The  facility was  expanded to provide the  capacity to meet  anticipated  sales
growth from network  marketing  activities and to add capabilities  necessary to
increase sales of contract packaging services.

     Interest  expense  increased  during  the  period  from  $43,000 in 1997 to
$121,000  in 1998 due to bank debt  necessary  to finance the  expansion  of the
Company's facility.

     Forward looking  statements made in this filing involve  material risks and
uncertainties  that could cause actual  results and events to differ  materially
from those set forth, or implied, including the Company's ability to continue to
attract,  maintain  and  motivate its  distributors,  changes in the  regulatory
environment  affecting  network  marketing  sales and sales of food and  dietary
supplements  and  other  risks  and  uncertainties  in the  Company's  other SEC
filings.

Note 3--   Subsequent Events

           In May  1998,  the  former  sales/general  manager  of the  Company's
           Canadian subsidiary filed lawsuit claiming unlawful termination.  The
           individual  had been  terminated  by the Company in March  1998.  The
           Company believes the claim is without merit and intends to vigorously
           defend itself.  At this time, the outcome of this matter is uncertain
           and  a  range  of  loss  cannot  be  reasonably  estimated.  However,
           management  believes  that the final outcome will not have a material
           adverse effect on the financial position of the Company.
