          Note 3 - Debt

          The Company  has a secured term note with outstanding balances of
          $3,037,700 and  $1,400,000 at May 31, 1999 and November 30, 1998,
          respectively.   On April  30, 1999,  the Company  funded $220,000
          under this note.   The note has  a maximum  amount  of $3,120,000
          that  may be funded and has a  five-year duration bearing a fixed
          rate of  interest of 7.72%  with a  twelve year amortization.   A
          balloon payment of $1,865,200 is due on November  30, 2003.  This
          note  has two  covenants  related  to  certain  financial  ratios
          calculated  on a quarterly  basis. Certain assets  of the Company
          secure this note.

          On May  5, 1999, the Company  entered into a  three-year note and
          security  agreement  secured  by certain  assets  of  the Company
          bearing interest  at  the  prime  rate plus  .5%.  The  agreement
          provides  for a maximum availability of $7,000,000 dependent upon
          the  value of  the  Company s  inventory.   At  May 31,1999,  the
          maximum available credit was  $5,087,000.   At May  31, 1999, the
          outstanding principal under  the note and security  agreement was
          $4,811,300. This amount includes a  $1,271,000 balance on a fixed
          note with a four year amortization and  a $3,540,300 balance on a
          revolving loan  agreement.   The weighted  average interest  rate
          through May 31, 1999 was 8.25%.

          On  May 24,  1999, the  Company obtained  asset financing  in the
          amount of $5,800,000 secured by certain real estate.  The note is
          a ten-year note amortized over a twenty-two year period bearing a
          fixed interest  rate of 8.33%.  At  May 31, 1999, the outstanding
          balance was $5,800,000.  As part of this arrangement, the Company
          is required to hold a restricted escrow balance of $850,000.

          Effective May 26, 1999, the Company's  existing unsecured line of
          credit was  paid off.   The amount of credit  available under the
          line  of credit through  May 26, 1999  had been $6,000,000.   The
          weighted average  interest rate thru  May 26, 1999 was  6.55% and
          for 1998 was 6.99%.

          Long term debt (thousands) consists of the following:

          Note 6 - Comprehensive Income

          In June  1997, the  Financial Accounting  Standards Board  issued
          Statement  of Financial Accounting  Standards No.  130, Reporting
          Comprehensive Income (SFAS 130).   SFAS 130 established standards
          for  the reporting and  display of  comprehensive income  and its
          components in a full set of general purpose financial statements.
          Under existing  accounting standards, other  comprehensive income
          shall  be  classified  separately  into foreign  currency  items,
          minimum pension liability adjustments,  and unrealized gains  and
          losses  on  certain investments  in  debt and  equity securities.
          Comprehensive income  is defined  as  the  change in  equity (net
          assets)  of   a  business   enterprise  during   a  period   from
          transactions  and other  events and  circumstances from  nonowner
          sources.   It  includes all  changes  in equity  during a  period
          except   those   resulting  from   investments   by   owners  and
          distributions  to owners.    The  Company  adopted  SFAS  130  on
          December 1,  1998.   The components  of comprehensive  income and
          related tax effect (thousands) for  the months ended May 31, 1999

          Note 7 - New Accounting Standards

          In June  1997, the  Financial Accounting  Standards Board  issued
          Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, No. 131, Disclosures
          about Segments  of an  Enterprise and  Related Information  (SFAS
          131).   SFAS 131 established  standards for  the way that  public
          business enterprises report information about operating  segments
          in   annual   financial  statements   and  requires   that  those
          enterprises report selected information about operating  segments
          in interim financial reports.   It also establishes standards for
          related  disclosures  about  products  and  services,  geographic
          areas,  and  major  customers.    The  Company  adopted SFAS  131
          effective December 1,  1998.  Currently, the  Company anticipates
          that  only  the  results  of  its  international  operations  and
          subsidiaries, in the event they  become material, may be required
          to  be separately disclosed  from U.S. base  operations under the

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

          Results of Operation

          During the second quarter, the Company successfully completed the
          opening of two new businesses.  March 1, 1999 marked the official
          opening of the  Hong Kong branch,  the Company's second  business
          unit located in the Asia/Pacific region.  The Hong Kong branch is
          in  a  region  that  is  experiencing  a  weak  economy and  high
          unemployment.  Because of  the current  economic  conditions, the
          Company  believes  that  favorable  opportunities  exist for  the
          direct  selling  industry.    Eventus  International,  Inc.,  the
          Company's new  network marketing  business in the  U.S. held  its
          national roll  out convention  in Dallas,  Texas on April  23-25.
          This  new subsidiary  which  began  minimal  operations  in  late
          January, will enable the Company to diversify  its U.S.  business
          into the network marketing segment of the direct selling industry.
          Eventus  International, Inc.'s product  line offers  high quality
          unique  products that  the  Company  believes  will  improve  the
          quality of life and longevity for the consumer.   This Company is
          still in its initial stages of development, where  recruiting and
          building a  team of  distributors will be  the Company's  primary
          focus.

          Quarters  Ended May 31, 1999 and May 31, 1998.  Net sales for the
          second quarter decreased 19% to $17,473,860 in 1999 compared with
          $21,603,454 in  1998. The majority  of this sales decline  was in
          domestic sales  as a result  of a two-month  recruiting promotion
          that  occurred  during the  second quarter  of 1998.   In  1999 a
          similar  promotion was  held  that is  expected  to impact  third
          quarter sales in 1999.

          Gross profit  margins for the  second quarter of 1999  were 77.9%
          compared  with 69.0%  in 1998.    The positive  change in  profit
          margins  was due to  a 10%  increase in  domestic margins.   1998
          profit margins  were abnormally  low due to  the March  and April
          recruiting  promotion.  The  combined effect of  discounted sales
          and higher  product costs  of demonstration  kits impacted  gross
          margin  results by  3.6% of  sales in  1998.   During the  second
          quarter  of 1999,  there  were  no  significant  sales  discounts
          offered.

          Selling,  general and  administrative expenses  as  a percent  of
          sales  increased  to  89.5% in  1999  from  68.6% in  1998.   The
          increase in  costs as a  percent of sales   was largely due  to a
          decrease in total sales during the second quarter of 1999 compared
          to 1998 as discussed above.  Also, nearly $2,500,000 in costs were
          incurred  during 1999 for continued development and grand opening
          events held for promoting the Company's two new businesses.

          Other income  and expense increased  to $9,274 from  ($32,603) in
          1998 primarily   due to  net gains in favorable  foreign currency
          translations from the Canada and Taiwan subsidiaries.

          Net income decreased to ($1,350,984) in 1999 from $9,029 in 1998.
          This  was caused  from the  decrease in  sales combined  with the
          increase  in selling, general and administrative costs related to
          new business expansion.

          Six months ended  May 31, 1999 and May 31, 1998.  Sales decreased
          10%  for  the  first  six  months of  1999  to  $34,281,995  from
          $38,143,489.  This is  mostly   attributable  to  a  decline   in
          domestic  sales as  a result  of the  March and  April recruiting
          drive, which occurred during the second quarter of 1998.

          Gross profit  margins increased  to 76.8% in  1999 from  72.5% in
          1998.   This  was due  to improved domestic  profit margins.   In
          1998,  the March  and April  recruiting  drive had  an impact  on
          profit margins due to the discounted  cost of entry on low margin
          demonstration kits  and  additional product  discounts that  were
          offered during the promotion.

          Selling, general and administrative costs increased for the first
          six months  of 1999 to 86.2% from 68.3%  in 1998 resulting from a
          decrease in sales  and an increase in expansion  costs related to
          the   opening  of  the  Company's  two  new  businesses,  Eventus
          International, Inc. and BeautiControl Hong Kong.

          Other income  and expense  decreased to  ($66,861)  in 1999  from
          ($29,421) in 1998 due to additional interest expense.

          As a result of the above, net financial results  during the first
          six months of  1999 were ($2,200,505) or ($.30)  per common share
          compared with net  income of $1,002,824 or $.17  per common share
          in 1998.

          Liquidity and Capital Resources

          Working  capital increased $3,523,000  to $13,179,000 at  May 31,
          1999 from  $9,656,000 at November  30, 1998.  This  was partially
          due to increases in inventories resulting from the  Company's two
          new  businesses.  Also,  contributing to the  increase in working
          capital was  a reduction  in short term  borrowings.   During the
          second  quarter  of  1999,  the  Company  repaid  the  $6,000,000
          outstanding under its line of  credit.  This was primarily funded
          through  the  Company's  new  credit   facilities  and  financing
          arrangements.   Offsetting increases  to working capital  was the
          sale of investments.   Proceeds from the  reduction in short-term
          investments were used to fund operating needs and expansion costs
          and to build cash reserves.

          The Company's  cash flows  increased $3,206,000  at May 31,  1999
          compared  with the  same period last  year.   This was due  to an
          increase in the Company's borrowing activity as well as, the sale
          of investments.

          The Company has a secured  term note with outstanding balances of
          $3,037,700 and $1,40l,000 at May  31, 1999 and November 30, 1998,
          respectively.   On April 30,  1999, the  Company funded  $220,000
          under this secured note.  The note has a maximum borrowing amount
          of $3,120,000 and  is a five  year note bearing  a fixed rate  of
          interest of  7.72% with  a twelve year  amortization.   A balloon
          payment of $1,865,200 is due on November 30, 2003.  This note has
          two covenants related to certain financial ratios calculated on a
          quarterly basis.  Certain assets of the Company secure this note.

          On  May 5, 1999,  the Company entered into  a three-year note and
          security  agreement  secured  by certain  assets  of  the Company
          bearing  interest  at the  prime  rate  plus .5%.  The  agreement
          provides  for  a   maximum  credit  availability  of   $7,000,000
          dependent upon the value of the  Company's inventory.  At May 31,
          1999,  the maximum  available credit  was $5,087,000. At  May 31,
          1999,  the  outstanding  principal under  the  note  and security
          agreement  was $4,811,300.  This amount  includes  a   $1,271,000
          balance  on a  fixed note  with a  four  year amortization  and a
          $3,540,300 balance on  a revolving loan agreement.   The weighted
          average  interest  rate through  May  31, 1999  was  8.25%. Total
          initial note  proceeds were  used to pay  down $5,000,000  of the
          Company's unsecured line of credit on May 19, 1999.

          On  May 24,  1999, the  Company obtained  asset financing  in the
          amount of $5,800,000 secured by certain real estate.  The note is
          a ten-year note amortized over a twenty-two year period bearing a
          fixed  interest rate of 8.33%.   At May 31, 1999, the outstanding
          balance   was  $5,800,000.    As   part   of   this  arrangement,
          the Company  is required to  hold a restricted escrow  balance of
          $850,000.  On  May 26, 1999, $1,000,000 of  the proceeds obtained
          from the mortgage financing was used to complete repayment of the
          amount outstanding under the unsecured line of credit.

          Effective May 26, 1999, the  Company's existing unsecured line of
          credit was paid  off.  The amount  of credit available  under the
          line of  credit through May  26, 1999  had been $6,000,000.   The
          weighted average interest rate thru May 26,  1999 on this line of
          credit was 6.55% and for 1998 was 6.99%.

          Year 2000 Issues

          The Company defines the Year 2000 issues as those related  to the
          inability of  some computer hardware  or software to  interpret a
          two-digit year expressed as "00" as the Year 2000.  When the Year
          2000 begins, these computers may  interpret "00" as the Year 1900
          and  either  stop processing  date-related  computations  or will
          process  them incorrectly.    All  software,  computer  hardware,
          building facilities and equipment utilized by the Company require
          assessment  to determine  that  they  will  continue  to  operate
          accurately when they encounter a  Year 2000 date before and after
          January 1, 2000.

          The Company has initiated a  task force committee to address Year
          2000 issues.   The committee's  purpose is to direct  the project
          for  assessment, remediation and  implementation of solutions and
          contingency plans related to Year  2000 issues.  The project plan
          addresses  information technology  systems (IT  systems)  such as
          computer  software  and hardware  and  non-information technology
          systems  (Non-IT   systems)  such  as   manufacturing  equipment,
          utilities and facilities.   In addition, the plan  addresses Year
          2000 issues relating to third  parties with which the Company has
          a material relationship.  The Company has planned readiness prior
          to January  1, 2000 due  to the possibility of  encountering Year
          2000 date processing in 1999.

          The Company   has  completed  the  assessment of  IT systems  and
          software   upgrades   and non  IT  systems  related  to Year 2000
          readiness.  The  overall  project is  estimated   to be about 98%
          complete and on target to be complete by October of 1999.

                                                                Estimated

          The Company prepared  and mailed a Year 2000  readiness survey to
          numerous third party  suppliers and service providers  upon which
          the Company relies for various goods and services.  As of May 31,
          1999, the  Company has  received  written responses  from 49%  of
          those mailed.   Of  those responding,  62% stated  that they  are
          either currently compliant  or anticipate that they  will address
          all  Year  2000 issues  by  December,  1998.   The  committee  is
          currently    evaluating   responses    to   schedule    follow-up
          correspondence  and  to address  contingency plans  for alternate
          sources and suppliers.

          As   a  contingency, the  Company  plans to  continue its current
          operating policy to maintain  60  to  90 days of   finished goods
          on-hand  of  key  products  as   well as  on-hand  quantities  of
          components.  The Company as  a part of its normal  operating plan
          contracts with a third party for backup computer hardware service
          in the event of a failure or serious interruptions of its on-site
          operations.

          Costs for implementing  the Year 2000 project are  expected to be
          in the range  of  $350,000 to  $400,000 over the two  year fiscal
          period of 1998 and 1999 and are not expected to materially affect
          results  of operations or the financial  position of the Company.
          Expenditures relating  to Year 2000  to date are estimated  to be
          $235,000,  due primarily to software remediation, and were funded
          through operating cash flows.   Other IT projects and initiatives
          have  not  been  adversely affected  by  the  Company's resources
          allocation  to  the Year  2000  project.   The  Company currently
          believes that it is addressing Year  2000 issues on a timely  and
          adequate   basis  according   to   suggested  methodologies   and
          procedures.  Although  the Company  is addressing  the Year  2000
          issue and plans to monitor its progress through completion, there
          can be no  assurance that total compliance internally  as well as
          with third party vendors and suppliers will be achieved.

          Item  3.  Quantitative  and Qualitative Disclosures  About Market
          Risk.

          There has not been a material change in the Company's exposure to
          interest  rate  risk  on investments  and  foreign  currency rate
          changes since  November 30, 1998.   Changes to market risk  as it
          relates  to  interest  rate changes  on  the  Company's financing
          activities has been  minimal.  At November 30,  1998, the Company
          had a $7,600,000 outstanding balance under a line of credit.  The
          interest rate  was based  on  a LIBOR  rate  plus a  spread  that
          adjusted with the debt ratio.  During the second quarter of 1999,
          the  Company  repaid  its outstanding  balance  on  this  line of
          credit, therefore  any interest  rate risk  associated with  this
          debt no longer  exists.  The  Company has a  three-year note  and
          security agreement with  an outstanding balance of  $4,811,300 at
          May 31, 1999 that  may be subject to market risk if there were to
          be interest  rate  changes.   The  initial  borrowing  under  the
          facility was at  8.25%. If the rate were to increase to 8.75% and
          the amount  outstanding remained  the same, incremental  interest
          expense would reduce  earnings before taxes by  $24,057 annually.
          At May 31, 1999 the Company also  had a five year term note  with
          a  balance of $3,037,700  and a ten  year note with  a balance of
          $5,800,000;   both have a  fixed interest  rate and are  thus not
          subject to interest rate volatility.

          Financial Instruments

          Due to recent expansion into  foreign markets, the Company may be
          exposed to foreign currency fluctuations and other related market
          risks as  part of its  ongoing business operations.   The Company
          may   periodically  use   foreign   exchange  derivatives,   when
          appropriate, to manage these risks.  At present, net exposure and
          risk due  to  foreign  currency fluctuations  is  judged  to  not
          require any derivative activities at this time.
