NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information.
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 a normal recurring
nature considered necessary for a fair presentation, have been included. It is
suggested that these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction
with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's annual
report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 1997. The results of operations
for the periods ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 are not necessarily indicative
of the operating results for the full year.

Certain amounts in prior period financial statements have been reclassified to
conform to the current period financial statements.


NOTE 2 - PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Millennium Health International, Inc. (formerly
Pro-Lean, Inc. and prior to that Sonergy, Inc.), CellLife International, Inc.
and CellLife Pharmaceuticals International, Inc. all of which had been
administered and operated out of the Company's facilities. During fiscal 1997,
the assets and liabilities of each of the subsidiaries were transferred to the
Company and the Company assumed their operations. All significant intercompany
accounts and transactions for the three months and six months ended December 31,
1996 have been eliminated.


NOTE 3 - INVENTORIES

Inventories are comprised of:

NOTE 4 - NET EARNINGS PER SHARE

Pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 ("SFAS No.
128"), financial statements for periods ending after December 15, 1997 must
reflect basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share as defined.
Accordingly, basic earnings per share has been computed based upon the weighted
average number of shares outstanding during the period and diluted earnings per
share has been computed based upon the weighted average number of shares
outstanding during the period plus the dilutive effects of common shares
contingently issuable from stock options. Prior period amounts have been
restated to conform to SFAS No. 128. Common stock options are excluded from the
computation of net earnings per share if their effect is anti-dilutive.

Basic and diluted earnings per share have been calculated as follows:

maximum amount that can be deducted for income tax purposes. For the three
months and six months ended December 31, 1997, the estimated current service
cost (normal cost) and the amortized portion of the unfunded estimated accrued
liability for prior service cost, using a 30-year funding period, amounted to
$117,000 and $234,000, respectively. This amount has been accrued in the current
period.

                         PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                            AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Except for the historical information contained herein, the following discussion
contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. The
Company's actual results could differ materially from those projected in the
forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such
differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in this section and
those discussed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

SECOND QUARTER OF FISCAL 1998 AND 1997

The Company's consolidated net sales for the quarter ended December 31, 1997,
amounted to $16.3 million, an increase of $3.7 million over the $12.6 million
generated during the quarter ended December 31, 1996. The 29% increase in sales
is evenly divided between sales to existing customers and sales to new
customers. International sales for the quarter ended December 31, 1997, amounted
to $4.3 million compared to $.5 million for the quarter ended December 31, 1996.
The increase in international sales is primarily from expansion into foreign
markets by existing customers.

Gross profit margins were 27.3% for the quarter ended December 31, 1997,
compared to 25.5% for the quarter ended December 31, 1996. The increase in
margins was due to manufacturing cost efficiencies.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased as a percentage of net
sales to 13.4% for the quarter ended December 31, 1997 from 14.4% for the
quarter ended December 31, 1996. Selling, general and administrative expenses
increased from $1.8 million in 1996 to $2.2 million in 1997. The increase was
primarily due to expenses associated with the employee pension plan, which was
adopted on January 1, 1997, and higher depreciation and other expenses connected
with the start-up of the new tablet manufacturing facility.

Net earnings for the quarter ended December 31, 1997, amounted to $1.4 million,
a $.6 million increase from the $.8 million in net earnings produced for the
quarter ended December 31, 1996. The increase in net earnings was due primarily
to the growth in gross profit partially offset by the increase in selling,
general and administrative expenses discussed above.

Diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended December 31, 1997, was $.24
compared to $.15 for the quarter ended December 31, 1996. The increase was due
to the reasons discussed above.


SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 AND 1996

The Company's consolidated net sales for the six months ended December 31, 1997,
amounted to $28.3 million, an increase of $4.2 million over the $24.1 million
generated during the six months ended December 31, 1996. The 18% increase in
sales is primarily attributable to sales to new customers. International sales
for the six months ended December 31, 1997, amounted to $8.0 million compared to
$.8 million for the six months ended December 31, 1996. The increase in
international sales is primarily from expansion into foreign markets by existing
customers.

Gross profit margins were 26.8% for the six months ended December 31, 1997,
compared to 26.9% for the six months ended December 31, 1996.

           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                            AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased as a percentage of net
sales to 15.5% for the six months ended December 31, 1997 from 14.8% for the six
months ended December 31, 1996. Selling, general and administrative expenses
increased from $3.6 million in 1996 to $4.4 million in 1997. The increase was
primarily due to expenses associated with the employee pension plan, which was
adopted on January 1, 1997, and higher depreciation and other expenses connected
with the start-up of the new tablet manufacturing facility.

Net earnings for the six months ended December 31, 1997, amounted to $2.0
million, a $.2 million increase from the $1.8 million in net earnings for the
six months ended December 31, 1996. The increase in net earnings was due
primarily to the growth in gross profit margins partially offset by the increase
in selling, general and administrative expenses discussed above.

Diluted earnings per share for the six months ended December 31, 1997, was $.35
compared to $.31 for the six months ended December 31, 1996. The increase was
due to the reasons discussed above.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At December 31, 1997, the Company had working capital of $12,499,000 compared to
$11,439,000 as of June 30, 1997. An increase in inventories was offset by
decreases in cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable and an increase
in accounts payable and income taxes payable. Inventory levels at December 31,
1997, compared to sales, increased moderately relative to historical levels, due
principally to increased stocking for fulfillment of an increased sales order
backlog.

The Company has purchase commitments approximating $650,000 for additional
production equipment that is expected to be placed in service in the third
quarter. These expenditures are expected to be funded from cash flow from
operating activities.

The Company believes it has sufficient sources of funds to finance its ongoing
operations and meet its capital asset purchases, as well as future growth
through a combination of internally generated cash flow, revolving lines of
credit and equipment financing. The Company has revolving line of credit
agreements permitting borrowings up to $3,000,000, which are secured by the
Company's receivables, inventory, equipment, and vehicles and bear interest at
the bank's prime rate. The bank's prime rate at December 31, 1997 was 8.5%. The
lines of credit expire in January 1999. The company had no borrowings
outstanding at December 31, 1997, or at June 30, 1997, under these credit lines.
