Except for the historical information contained herein, the following discussion
contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties 
including the future levels of corporate expenses, effects of management 
changes, ability to obtain facility licenses to manufacture pharmaceutical 
products, trends in financial performance (such as growth in sales and

1998.

These forward-looking statements represent the company's judgment as of the date
of this release. The Company disclaims, however, any intent or obligation to
update these forward-looking statements


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


SECOND QUARTER OF FISCAL 1999 AND 1998

Net sales increased 6.3% or approximately $1.0 million to approximately $17.3
million for the quarter ended December 31, 1998, from approximately $16.3
million for the quarter ended December 31, 1997. The increase was attributed to
increased sales to existing customers.

Sales of products into international markets increased 27.9% to approximately
$5.5 million for the quarter ended December 31, 1998, from approximately $4.3
million for the quarter ended December 31, 1997. The increase is primarily the
result of existing customers expanding into Asian and European markets.

Gross profit margins were 18.9% for the quarter ended December 31, 1998,
compared to 27.3% for the quarter ended December 31, 1997. The decrease in
margins was due primarily to honoring sales obligations with materials that
exceeded original cost parameters, liquidating excess inventories of slow moving
items at or below cost, and inventory write-downs.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased as a percentage of
sales to 15.3% for the quarter ended December 31, 1998 from 13.4% for the
quarter ended December 31, 1997. The increase is due primarily to consulting and
other fees related to changes in the Company's management structure, and costs
associated with upgrading the company's financial and manufacturing information
systems.

Income from operations decreased 72.4% to approximately $0.6 million for the
quarter ended December 31, 1998, from approximately $2.3 million for the quarter
ended December 31, 1997. This was due primarily to an approximate $1.2 million
decrease in gross profit and an approximate $0.5 million increase in selling,
general and administrative expenses.

Net earnings decreased 71.9% or approximately $1.0 million to approximately $0.4
million for the quarter ended December 31, 1998 from approximately $1.4 for the
quarter ended December 31, 1997. The decrease in net earnings was due primarily
to lower gross profit margins and increased operating expenses.

Diluted earnings per share decreased 75% for the quarter ended December 31, 1998
to $.06 from $.24 for the quarter ended December 31, 1997.

         MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                    AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)


SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 AND 1997

Net sales increased 21.1% or approximately $6.0 million to approximately $34.3
million for the six months ended December 31, 1998, from approximately $28.3
million for the six months ended December 31, 1997. The Company added several
new customers subsequent to the first quarter of fiscal 1998 and sales to these
customers, in addition to increased sales to certain existing customers through
their international distribution channels, was the primary reason for the
increase.

Sales of products into international markets increased 34.3% to approximately
$10.7 million for the six months ended December 31, 1998, from approximately
$8.0 million for the six months ended December 31, 1997. The increase is
primarily the result of existing customers expanding into Asian and European
markets.

Gross profit margins were 23.1% for the six months ended December 31, 1998,
compared to 26.8% for the six months ending December 31, 1997. The decrease in
margins was due primarily to honoring sales obligations with materials that
exceeded original cost parameters, liquidating excess inventories of slow moving
items at or below cost, and inventory write-downs.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased as a percentage of
sales to 14.0% for the six months ended December 31, 1998 from 15.5% for the
six months ending December 31, 1997. While selling, general and administrative
expenses increased, in absolute dollars, to approximately $4.8 million, the
dollar increase was at a lower rate relative to the increase in sales noted
above.

Income from operations decreased 3.3% to approximately $3.1 million for the six
months ended December 31, 1998, from approximately $3.2 million for the six
months ended December 31, 1997. This was due primarily to an approximate $0.4
million increase in operating expenses and lower gross profit margins.

Net earnings decreased 3.0% or $0.1 million to approximately $1.9 million for
the six months ended December 31, 1998 from approximately $2.0 for the six
months ended December 31, 1997. The decrease in net earnings was due primarily
to increased operating expenses.

Diluted earnings per share decreased 11.4% for the six months ended December 31,
1998 to $.31 from $.35 for the six months ended December 31, 1997.

YEAR 2000 ISSUES

Most computer databases, as well as embedded microprocessors in computer systems
and industrial equipment, have been programmed to use a two-digit number to
represent the year. Computer programs that recognize a date using "00" as the
year 1900 rather than the year 2000 could result in errors or system failures.
Accordingly, all companies must analyze their systems and make the necessary
changes to ensure that automated processes will correctly distinguish between
years before and after the year 2000.

During the quarter ended December 31, 1998, the Company began the implementation
of a new financial and manufacturing software system which, in management's
judgment, is Year 2000 compliant and will support the Company's continued growth
and expansion. The Company expects to implement its new computer systems during
the fourth quarter of its 1999 fiscal year, and the Company will continue to
assess the potential for Year 2000 problems with embedded microprocessors in its
production equipment. The Company estimates that it will have incurred
approximately $1 million in costs, of which approximately $100,000 will be
charged directly to operating expenses, by the end of its 1999 fiscal year to
replace its financial and manufacturing software systems and to remediate or
replace embedded microprocessors in its production equipment. This amount will
be funded from internally generated cash flows.

                        PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

         MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                    AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)


The Company has received some preliminary information concerning the Year 2000
readiness of some of its vendors of goods and services. It expects to engage in
discussions with its most significant vendors during 1999 in an attempt to
determine the extent to which the Company is vulnerable to those vendors'
possible failure to become Year 2000 ready. Furthermore, a reasonably likely
worse case scenario would be if one or more of the Company's most significant
vendors of goods and services, or the suppliers of the Company's necessary
energy, telecommunications and transportation needs, experienced a material
disruption in business and this caused the Company to experience a material
disruption in business. Such a disruption could have a material adverse effect
on the results of operations, liquidity and financial condition of the Company.
The Company is currently developing contingency plans to address unavoided or
unavoidable Year 2000 risks and expects to create such a plan during the balance
of calendar year 1999.

If some or all of the Company's remediated or replaced internal computer systems
fail to correctly distinguish between years before and after the year 2000, or
if any software applications or embedded microprocessors critical to the
Company's operations are overlooked in the assessment or implementation phases,
there could be a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations,
liquidity and financial condition of a magnitude which the Company has not yet
fully analyzed.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At December 31, 1998, the Company had working capital of approximately $18.5
million and borrowings available under revolving lines of credit of $3.0
million. As of December 31, 1998, there were no borrowings under these lines.

For the six months ended December 31, 1998, net cash provided by operating
activities was approximately $4.9 million compared to net cash provided by
operating activities of approximately $1.6 million for the six months ended
December 31, 1997. This increase of approximately $3.3 million was due primarily
to decreases in accounts receivable and inventories, partially offset by a
decrease in accounts payable. Current maturities of long-term debt and capital
leases at December 31, 1998 amounted to approximately $58,000 which the Company
expects to pay out of working capital.

The Company has revolving line of credit agreements permitting borrowings up to
$3.0 million, which are secured by the Company's receivables, inventory,
equipment, and vehicles and bear interest at the bank's prime rate. The present
loan agreement with the bank contains financial covenants concerning limitations
on maintenance of debt, certain financial ratio's and other matters, for all of
which the Company is in full compliance as of February 12, 1999. The lines of
credit expire on January 19, 2000; management expects such lines to be renewed
in the normal course of business.

Capital expenditures for the six months ended December 31, 1998 amounted to
approximately $3.2 million. These expenditures were made primarily in connection
with the building improvements in progress at the Company's new headquarters
building and its new warehouse and blending facility, and includes the purchase
of encapsulation and other production equipment to expand the Company's output
capacity. The Company anticipates capital expenditures of approximately $6.5
million during fiscal 1999. These expenditures are expected to be paid from a
combination of cash holdings, net cash provided by operating activities in
fiscal 1999, borrowings under the Company's lines of credit with its bank, and
anticipated long term debt or equity financing. If these financing alternatives
become unavailable, the Company may be required to defer or restrict certain
commercial activities or delay or eliminate expenditures for certain of its
potential products and/or markets. The Company is currently assessing the
feasibility of long term use of the headquarter facility and are evaluating
options for an alternative use of the facility.

         MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                    AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)


NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In February 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 132, "Employers' Disclosures
about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits." This Statement standardizes
the disclosure requirements for pensions and other postretirement benefits,
requires additional information on changes in the benefit obligations and fair
values of plan assets and eliminates certain disclosures. Restatement of
disclosures for earlier periods is required. The Company will adopt this
Statement in its financial statements for the year ending June 30, 1999.

In June 1997, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information"
("SFAS 131"). SFAS 131 establishes standards for the manner in which public
business enterprises report information about operating segments and also
establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services,
geographic areas, and major customers. These statements are effective for years
beginning after December 15, 1997. The Company does not expect that the adoption
of SFAS Nos. 131 and 132 will result in disclosures that will be materially
different from those presently included in its financial statements.


QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company is exposed to risks relating to changes in interest rates and stock
market fluctuations.

At December 31, 1998, the Company maintains a portion of its cash and cash
equivalents in financial instruments with original maturities of three months or
less. These financial instruments, principally comprised of government backed
money market funds, are subject to interest rate risk and will decline in value
if interest rates increase. The Company also maintains an investment portfolio
containing common stocks that are subject to market risk. The Company has not
used derivative financial instruments in its investment portfolio.
