                  CREATIVE TECHNOLOGIES CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)


Note - A Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included. Operating results for the three-month and six-month periods ended
June 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected
for the year ending December 31, 2000. For further information, refer to the
financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual
report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1999.

Creative Technologies Corp. ("CTC") and Subsidiary (collectively the "Company")
are engaged in importing and marketing small household products (principally to
specialty and discount stores, catalogues and other retailers) and medical,
janitorial and dietary products to hospitals and other healthcare facilities.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CTC and its wholly
owned subsidiary, IHW, Inc. ("IHW") and IHW's wholly owned subsidiary, Ace
Surgical Supply Co., Inc. ("Ace") which IHW acquired from CTC on November 15,
1999. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated
in consolidation.

Basic net loss per common share is based on the weighted-average number of
shares outstanding during the period while diluted net loss per common share
considers the dilutive effect of stock options and warrants reflected under the
treasury stock method. Both basic net loss per share and diluted net loss per
share are the same for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30,
1999, since the Company's outstanding stock options and warrants have not been
included in the calculation because their effect would have been antidilutive.


Note - B Notes Payable and Related Party Transactions

At June 30, 2000, the Company had outstanding related party notes payable
totaling $2,774,000 as follows:

                  CREATIVE TECHNOLOGIES CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)


Of this amount, $2,033,000 bears interest at 12% and $741,000 bears interest at
18%. These notes are payable to various individuals who are stockholders,
entities whose principals are stockholders of the Company, and the Company's
retirement plan. Certain of these related party note holders have been granted a
security interest in the assets of CTC subordinated to the rights of the
financial institution described below. Notes payable aggregating $2,724,000 are
personally guaranteed by certain stockholders of the Company.

At June 30, 2000 the Company had outstanding notes to others totaling $1,082,000
which bear interest at 12% and are due on demand. The Company pledged all of the
shares of Ace and IHW to the holders of these notes, subject to the prior
security interest of the financial institution and other noteholders.

At June 30, 2000, the Company owed $2,449,000 pursuant to a loan and security
agreement entered into with a financial institution whereby the Company is
required to maintain an outstanding combined loan balance of not less than
$1,500,000, but no more than $3,000,000, as defined, which expires June 2001.
The loan is collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Company and
is partially guaranteed by an officer of the Company. Under the agreement, the
Company receives revolving credit advances based on accounts receivable and
inventory available, as defined, and is required to pay interest at a rate equal
to the greater of 9% or the prime rate (9.50% at June 30, 2000) plus 2.5% plus
other fees and all of the lender's out-of-pocket costs and expenses. The
agreement, among other matters, restricts the Company with respect to (i)
incurring any lien or encumbrance on its property or assets, (ii) entering into
new indebtedness, (iii) incurring capital expenditures in any fiscal year in an
amount in excess of $100,000, (iv) declaring or paying dividends on common or
preferred stock and (v) requires an officer of the Company to maintain certain
ownership percentages throughout the term of the agreement.

At June 30, 2000, the Company was not in compliance with certain provisions of
the agreement, which have been waived by the financial institution.

At June 30, 2000, the Company had an outstanding note payable (aggregating
$400,000) to an affiliate subordinated to the obligations due the financial
institution discussed above. Interest is payable on the note at the rate of 12%
per annum.

At June 30, 2000 the Company owed a related party $496,000 for the prior rental
of its office and warehousing space. During April 1999, the related party sold
the building occupied by the Company and the Company moved into office and
warehousing space at the same location. In addition, the company also owed this
entity an additional $145,000 for net advances received from them. Interest on
these obligations are payable at the rate of 12% per annum.

Included in prepaid expenses and other current assets at June 30, 2000 is an
amount due from a major shareholder, consisting of interest and principle,
aggregating $139,000. The note is due on demand, is collateralized, and interest
on the loan is at 12% per year.

Pursuant to the merger agreement between the Company and Ace, the Company agreed
to continue an obligation to pay $10,000 per month each in consulting fees to
two related parties, a principal stockholder and the spouse of a principal
stockholder of the Company. During the six-month periods each ended June 30,
2000 and 1999, $60,000 was charged to operations for each of these individuals.

Note - C Preferred Stock

During October 1997, in connection with the acquisition of Ace, the board of
directors designated 4,000 shares of redeemable preferred stock as "1997-A
Preferred Stock" having a stated value of $1,000 per share. The holders of
1997-A Preferred Stock are entitled to:

(i)  receive cumulative dividends at the rate of $120 per annum per $1,000,
     when, as and if declared by the board of directors of the Company;

(ii) redemption of their preferred stock on the later of 20 years from date of
     issuance or October 1, 2017 at a redemption price of $1,000 per share plus
     accrued but unpaid dividends; and

(iii) liquidation preference of $1,000 per share plus accrued but unpaid
     dividends.

The holders of 1997-A Preferred Stock are not entitled to:

(i)  convert the 1997-A Preferred Stock into common stock; or

(ii) vote at any meeting of the stockholders of the Company unless the dividends
     are in arrears longer than one year at which time the holders of the 1997-A
     Preferred Stock shall be entitled to 1,000 votes per share and shall vote
     along with the holders of common stock as one class.

At June 30, 2000, $706,000 of dividends were in arrears longer than one year and
as a result, holders of the 1997-A Preferred Stock are entitled to 3,500,000
votes along with holders of 16,699,000 shares of common stock.

At the effective date of the Ace merger, the estimated fair value of the 1997-A
Preferred Stock amounted to approximately $265,000 pursuant to a valuation by an
independent financial advisory firm.

Cumulative unpaid 1997-A Preferred Stock dividends aggregated approximately
$1,126,000 at June 30, 2000.

In June 1996, the board of directors designated 10,000 shares of preferred stock
as "1996 Preferred Stock" valued at $1,000 per share. The holders of 1996
Preferred Stock are entitled to:

(i)  receive cumulative dividends at the rate of $120 per annum payable
     quarterly in cash or common stock at the option of the Company;

to September 1, 2002, as amended.

During June 2000 the Company and certain holders of the 1996 Preferred Stock
agreed to convert 50 shares of Preferred Stock into 715,000 Shares of Common
Stock.

Management intends to satisfy the balance of the cumulative unpaid 1996

2000 through the issuance of securities of the Company.


On September 30, 1996, the board of directors designated 10,000 shares of
preferred stock as "1996-A Preferred Stock" valued at $1,000 per share. The

      quarterly in cash or common stock at the option of the Company;

(ii)  convert each share of preferred stock into shares of common stock, at the

During June 2000 the Company and certain holders of the 1996-A Preferred Stock
agreed to convert 830 Shares of Preferred Stock into 11,857,000 shares of Common
Stock.

Management intends to satisfy the balance of the cumulative unpaid 1996-A
Preferred Stock dividends, which aggregated approximately $155,000 at June 30,
2000 through the issuance of securities of the Company.

As a result of the conversion of both the 1996 Preferred Stock and the 1996-A
Preferred Stock, cumulative unpaid dividends in the amount of $126,000 were
forfeited by the holders. For the three-month period ended June 30, 2000
undeclared dividends of Preferred Stock have been reduced by $105,000 and for
the six-month period ended June 30, 2000, undeclared dividends of Preferred
Stock have been reduced by $126,000, respectively.

Note - D Product Liability and Litigation

The Company has received notice that several consumers claim to have suffered
finger injuries while using one of the Company's appliance products. The
Company's product liability insurance carrier covers these claims.

Various lawsuits, claims and proceedings have been or may be instituted or
asserted against the Company in the normal course of business. While the amounts
claimed or expected to be claimed may be substantial, the ultimate liability
cannot be determined because of the inherent uncertainties surrounding the
litigation and the considerable uncertainties that exist. Based on facts
currently available, management believes that the disposition of matters that
are pending or asserted will not have a materially adverse effect on the
financial position or results of operations of the Company.


Note - E Business Segments

In accordance with SFAS No. 131, the Company's business segments are organized
around its product lines, small household products and medical, janitorial and
dietary products. The following table is a summary of these segments for the
three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 1999 and 2000.

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Creative Technologies Corp. ("CTC") is a holding company owning the stock of
IHW, Inc. ("IHW") an operating company which in turn owns the stock of Ace
Surgical Supplies Co., Inc. ("Ace") an operating company, collectively (the
"Company"). Ace, in business since 1974, was acquired by CTC in October 1997 and
transferred to IHW in November 1999. It distributes janitorial, dietary and
medical products in the tri-state area, generally to hospitals, nursing homes
and assisted living facilities. Ace is currently expanding its customer base to
include various other facilities including educational, hospitality,
institutional and entertainment. IHW, which was incorporated in 1997, is the
exclusive importer and distributor for various European manufacturers of
moderate to high-end housewares. The companies whose products are currently
being distributed by IHW are Brabantia International BV, Soehnle-Waagen GmBH +
Co., MAWA Metallwarenfabrik Wagner GmbH, Foppa Pedretti S.p.A., and Evoluzione,
SRL. IHW is continually looking to distribute other complementary lines that
meet its various criteria.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2000, cash used in operating activities
was $185,000, cash used in investing activities was $6,000 and cash of $129,000
was provided by financing activities. As a result, at June 30, 2000, cash
decreased by $62,000 from $63,000 at December 31, 1999 to $1,000 at June 30,
2000. The Company had a negative working capital of $6,085,000 at June 30, 2000.

Accounts payable and other liabilities decreased to $4,123,000 at June 30, 2000
from $4,980,000 at December 31, 1999 primarily due to increased borrowings from
the financial institution and a reduction in both inventory and accounts
receivable.

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2000, debt to a financial institution
increased by $183,000 to $2,449,000 and notes payable decreased by $59,000 to
$4,256,000.

At June 30, 2000, the Company had outstanding related party notes payable
totaling $2,774,000 as follows:

         Twelve Months Ended
               June 30                      Amount
         --------------------             ----------
                2001                      $2,359,000
                2002                         179,000
                2003                         236,000
                                          ----------
                                           2,774,000
                Current Portion            2,359,000
                                          ----------
                                          $  415,000
                                          ----------

Of this amount, $2,033,000 bears interest at 12% and $741,000 bears interest at
18%. These notes are payable to various individuals who are stockholders,
entities whose principals are stockholders of the Company, and the Company's
retirement plan. Certain of these related party note holders have been granted a
security interest in the assets of CTC subordinated to the rights of the
financial institution described below. Notes payables aggregating $2,724,000 are
personally guaranteed by certain stockholders of the Company.

At June 30, 2000, the Company owed $2,449,000 pursuant to a loan and security
agreement with a financial institution which expires June 2001. The Company,
under this agreement is required to maintain an outstanding



                                       16
<PAGE>



combined loan balance of not less than $1,500,000, but no more than $3,000,000.
The loan is collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Company and
is partially guaranteed by an officer of the Company. Under the agreement, the
Company receives revolving credit advances based on accounts receivable and
inventory available, as defined, and is required to pay interest at a rate equal
to the greater of 9% or the prime rate (9.50% at June 30, 2000) plus 2.5% plus
other fees and all of the lender's out-of-pocket costs and expenses. The
agreement, among other matters, restricts the Company with respect to (i)
incurring any lien or encumbrance on its property or assets, (ii) entering into
new indebtedness, (iii) incurring capital expenditures in any fiscal year in an
amount in excess of $100,000, (iv) declaring or paying dividends on common or
preferred stock and (v) requires an officer of the Company to maintain certain
ownership percentages throughout the term of the agreement.

At June 30, 2000, the Company had an outstanding note payable (aggregating
$400,000) to an affiliate subordinated to the obligations due the financial
institution discussed above. Interest is payable on the note at the rate of 12%
per annum.

At June 30, 2000 the Company owed a related party $496,000 for the prior rental
of its office and warehousing space. During April 1999, the related party sold
the building occupied by the Company and the Company moved into office and
warehousing space at the same location. In addition, the company also owed this
entity an additional $145,000 for net advances received from them. Interest on
these obligations are payable at the rate of 12% per annum.

During the month of June 2000 the Company and certain holders of the 1996 and
1996-A Preferred Stock agreed to convert 50 shares and 830 shares of the 1996
and 1996-A Preferred, respectively, for a total of 12,572,000 shares of Common
Stock, the cumulative dividends on these preferred shares, in the amount of
$126,000 were forfeited by the holders.

Results of Operations

The Company had net sales of $3,857,000 and $3,169,000, respectively, for the
three-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999 and $7,423,000 and
6,562,000, respectively, for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and June
30, 1999. The increase in sales is primarily due to higher IHW sales which more
then offset lower Ace sales.

Gross profit margins for the second quarter ended June 30, 2000 and June 30,
1999 were 37% and 28%, respectively and for the six month periods ended June
30,2000 and June 30, 1999 were 37% and 33%, respectively. The increase in gross
profit margin is attributable to a strong dollar and higher gross profit margin
on Ace's sales.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $787,000 and $640,000 or 20%
of net sales, respectively, in the three-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and
June 30, 1999, and $1,632,000 and $1,355,000 or 22% and 21% of net sales,
respectively, in the six month periods ended June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased in absolute terms because
of higher sales and increased payroll and professional fees, but remained
constant as a percentage of overall sales for the three-month period.

Warehousing expenses were $213,000 and $222,000 or 6% and 7% of net sales,
respectively, for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999,
and $433,000 and $520,000 or 6% and 8% of net sales respectively for the
six-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999. The decrease is
primarily attributable to lower expenses associated with the Company's move into
smaller warehouse space and utilizing outside warehousing.

Interest expense increased to $264,000 from $223,000 for the three-month period
ended June 30, 2000, compared to the three-month period ended June 30, 1999, and
increased to $494,000 from $458,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2000
compared to the six-month period ended June 30, 1999. The increase of $36,000
for the six-month period ended June 30, 2000 compared to the six-month period
ended June 30. 1999 was primarily due to higher levels of outstanding borrowings
and an increase in the prime rate.

Inventory was $1,549,000 at June 30, 2000 compared to $1,034,000 at June 30,
1999. The increase in inventory is primarily the result of increased sales and
large opportune purchases made from Brabantia at year-end Accounts receivable
net was $2,661,000 at June 30, 2000 compared to $3,046,000 at June 30, 1999. The
decrease in receivables reflects a decrease in average days for collection in
Ace.

Due to the foregoing, the Company reported a net profit of $144,000 compared to
a net loss of $(185,000), respectively, for the three-month periods ended June
30, 2000 and June 30, 1999, and a net profit of $197,000 compared to a net loss
of $(178,000), respectively, for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and
June 30, 1999.
