 Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

 In the  opinion  of the  Company,  the accompanying  consolidated  financial
 statements contain  all adjustments,  consisting  of only  normal  recurring
 adjustments, necessary  to  present  fairly the  financial  position  as  of
 February 29, 2000 and  November 30, 1999 and  the results of operations  and
 cash flows for  the three months  ended February 29,  2000  and February 28,
 1999.  The  results for the  three months ended  February 29,  2000 are  not
 necessarily indicative of the results for the year.

 While the Company believes  that the disclosures  presented are adequate  to
 make the information not  misleading, it is  suggested that these  financial
 statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements
 and notes included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the  year
 ended November 30, 1999.

 Certain amounts for prior periods may  have been reclassified to conform  to
 current period presentation.

 Note 2 - Earnings Per Share

 Net income per  share is  accounted for  under the  provisions of  Financial
 Accounting Standards  No.  128 which  requires  companies to  present  basic
 earnings per  share  including  weighted average  number  of  common  shares
 outstanding and, if  applicable,  diluted earnings  per share which includes
 common equivalent shares outstanding.   The  following table sets forth  the
 computation of basic and  diluted earnings (loss)  per share (in  thousands,
 except per share data):

 purchase 1,707,000  and  1,229,000 shares  of  the Company's  common  stock,
 respectively, were excluded from  the computation of  earnings per share  as
 their effect would have been antidilutive.

 Note 3 - Debt

 securing a term loan, and used  of portion of the  proceeds to pay  down the

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

 Results of Operations

 Quarters Ended February 29,  2000 and February 28,  1999. Net sales for  the
 first quarter were $15,937,425  in 2000 compared  with $16,808,135 in  1999.
 This decrease included a  decline in the North  America market in line  with
 soft sales  in  the direct  selling  industry.   The  overall  decrease  was
 partially offset by the additional sales  provided by the Hong Kong  branch,
 which opened in the second quarter of 1999.

 Gross profit margins for the first quarter of 2000 were 76.5% compared  with
 75.7% for the first  quarter of 1999.   The increase  in profit  margins was
 primarily  the  result  of  a  shift  in  product  mix  from  lower   margin
 demonstration kits to skin care products.  Skin care sales increased due  to
 the introduction of a  new firming product  line in January  2000 and a  new
 skin treatment product in  August 1999.  Prior  year sales of  demonstration
 kits were higher than normal due to the introduction of a new type of kit in
 February 1999.
<PAGE>
 Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of sales decreased
 to 76.7% in 2000 from  82.8% in 1999 resulting  from an overall decrease  in
 costs.  This is partly due to costs of $1,795,000 for new business expansion
 efforts in  1999.   Reorganization efforts  and  cost reductions  that  were
 implemented at the end of 1999 are also resulting in decreased costs.

 Other income and expense increased to  $2,128,387 in 2000 from ($76,135)  in
 1999 primarily resulting from a capital gain in connection with the  sale of
 an airplane.

 As a result of the above, the net financial result during the first  quarter
 of 2000 was $982,469 or $.14  per common share compared  with a net loss  of
 ($849,521) or ($.12) per common share in 1999.

 Liquidity and Capital Resources

 Working capital increased $3,082,800 to $3,885,500 at February 29, 2000 from
 $802,700 at November 30, 1999.  This was mainly due to a reduction in short-
 term debt.  During the first quarter  of 2000, the Company sold an  airplane
 as discussed above, which was  securing a term loan,  and used a portion  of
 the proceeds  to  pay  down the  balance  of  that loan  in  the  amount  of
 $2,864,200 including principal and accrued interest.  Also affecting working
 capital were  decreases  in  trade  accounts  payable  and  various  accrued
 liabilities, which include severance costs, commissions, and property taxes.
 Deferred income,  composed primarily of orders received but not yet shipped,
 decreased due  to  timing of  the  shipment  of  these  orders.   Offsetting
 increases to  working  capital  was  a  reduction  in  cash  and  short-term
 investments used to fund operating needs.

 The Company has 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 February 29, 2000, the
 maximum  available  credit  was  $4,291,100.    At  February  29,  2000, the
 outstanding principal under the note and security agreement was  $4,291,100.
 This  amount includes a $1,030,300  balance on a fixed note with a four-year
 amortization and a $3,260,800 balance   on a revolving loan agreement.   The
 weighted average interest rate through February 29, 2000 was 9.07%.

 The Company  has 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 period bearing a fixed  interest rate of 8.33%.   At February 29,  2000,
 the outstanding balance was  $5,728,500.  As part  of  this arrangement, the
 Company is required to hold a restricted escrow balance of $850,000.
<PAGE>
 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, 1999.  Changes to market risk as it relates to interest rate changes  on
 the Company's financing activities has been minimal.  The Company  currently
 has a three year note and security agreement with an outstanding balance  of
 $4,291,100 at February 29, 2000 that may be subject to market risk if  there
 were to be interest rate changes.  The current borrowing under the  facility
 is at  9.25%.   If  the rate  were  to increase  to  10.25% and  the  amount
 outstanding remained  the same,  incremental interest  expense would  reduce
 earnings before  taxes by  $42,911  annually.   At  February 29,  2000,  the
 Company also had a ten year note with  a balance of $5,728,500, which  has a
 fixed interest rate and is thus not subject to interest rate volatility.  At
 November 30, 1999,  the Company had  a $2,907,600 outstanding  balance on  a
 five year term loan.  During the first quarter of 2000, the Company paid off
 this term loan.


 Financial Instruments

 Due to 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.
