NSA INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NINE MONTH PERIODS ENDED JANUARY 31, 1997 AND 1996 (UNAUDITED)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.       FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION

         The consolidated balance sheet as of January 31, 1997, the consolidated
         statements of operations for the three month and nine month periods
         ended January 31, 1997 and 1996, and the consolidated statements of
         shareholders' equity and cash flows for the nine month periods ended
         January 31, 1997 and 1996 have been prepared by the Company, without
         audit. It is management's opinion that these statements include all
         adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary
         to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and
         cash flows as of January 31, 1997 and for all periods presented. The
         results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the
         results that may be expected for the full year.

         Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
         financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
         accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested
         that these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction
         with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included
         in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, previously filed with the
         Securities and Exchange Commission.

2.       LOSS PER SHARE

         Amounts shown as loss per share have been computed by dividing net loss
         applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of
         common shares outstanding.

3.       INVENTORIES

         Inventories consisted of the following:

4.       RESTRUCTURING CHARGE AND SALE OF CERTAIN OPERATIONS

         During the second quarter of 1997, the Company sold its operating
         rights and certain fixed assets in Germany, Switzerland, Belgium,
         Holland, and the United Kingdom. Consideration was received in the form
         of notes receivable which provide for annual payments of principal and
         interest over the next six to seven years. As the rates on the notes
         are substantially less than current market rates, these notes were
         discounted to a present value of $1,510,000 using the current U.S.
         Prime rate of 8.25%. The gain on the sale of $630,000 is being
         deferred, as the buyers did not make any payments to the Company as of
         the closing dates; this deferred gain is offset against the related
         notes receivable on the accompanying balance sheet and will be ratably
         recognized by the Company as the notes are collected. Also, these
         dispositions obligate the buyers to assume responsibilities for future
         multi-level direct selling operations in these countries.

         During the first quarter of 1997, the Company announced its decision to
         close its European headquarters. Accordingly, a restructuring charge
         totalling $3,000,000 was reflected during the first quarter of fiscal
         1997. The charge includes estimates of $975,000 to writedown fixed
         assets to net realizable value, $500,000 to recognize termination costs
         of certain employees, $200,000 to accrue costs related to early
         termination of leases, $825,000 to writedown certain inventories which
         will be obsolete as a result of the restructuring, and $500,000 for
         salary and other shutdown expenses after these operations are sold.
         Costs totalling $1,115,000 principally related to inventory write-offs,
         salaries and shutdown expenses, were charged against the reserve in the
         second and third quarter of 1997. Additional employee termination costs
         of $500,000 to $1,000,000 are expected during the implementation of the
         restructuring plan, which is expected to be completed by the end of
         fiscal 1997.

</TABLE>

         The decreases in dealer/distributor commissions and allowances, as a
percentage of net revenues, for the 1997 third quarter and first nine months
reflect the change of the sales mix resulting from the sale of certain direct
selling operations which paid dealer/distributor commissions on most of their
prior sales.

         The 1997 increases in the cost of products sold as a percentage of net
revenues resulted from the continued change in the Company's operations to sales
to third party licensees which have lower sales margins.

         The 1997 third quarter expense was primarily due to foreign currency
transaction and translation losses, which included a small foreign currency
hedging loss. The third quarter foreign currency translation and transaction
losses have reduced the 1997 first nine months' gain to approximately $30,000.
The 1996 nine month loss was primarily due to foreign currency hedging which was
partially offset by current translation and transaction gains.

Future Outlook

         The Company is continuing negotiations to sell its remaining direct
selling operations located in Italy and France. Management anticipates that 
the disposition of these operations will be completed during the 1997 fourth 
quarter or 1998 first quarter.

         In the 1997 fourth quarter the Company anticipates introducing a new
water filter, which has interchangeable replaceable filter cartridges.  This 
filter system has several different types of replaceable filter cartridges
available so that customers may choose a cartridge which will solve their 
specific type of water problem. This product, coupled with the 1997 third
quarter new product introduction of Juice Plus Thins(TM), the Company's latest 
dietary food supplement, and Pet Plus(TM), a food supplement for dogs and cats,
continues to successfully extend the Company's product lines.

         In addition to these new products, the Company is aggressively
expanding into new markets. During the 1997 third quarter, the Company entered
into agreements for the distribution by third parties of its products in Russia,
Turkey, Poland and Pakistan. In the 1998 first quarter, the Company expects its
new Spanish Master Distributor to commence operations in Spain and Portugal. The
Company is currently negotiating with third parties for the introduction of its
product lines into Australia, New Zealand, Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden
as well as certain new Asian markets.

         Management anticipates that the operational changes, new product
introductions, and the opening of new markets will have a positive effect on its
1998 operating results. Although the ultimate effect of these changes cannot be
determined, Management anticipates that the Company's operations will improve to
the extent that the Company will be profitable on or before the fourth quarter 
of 1998.

         The statement above concerning the trend toward future profitability
of the Company is a forward-looking statement within the meaning of Section 23E
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and is intended to qualify for safe
harbor protection as defined therein.  Investors are cautioned that the 
Company's ability to generate future positive operating results are subject to
risks and uncertainties including: (i) the Company's inability to retain
existing and to attract new distributors, (ii) the Company's inability to sell 
its remaining European direct selling operations, and thereby realizing 
significant expense reductions, and (iii) the Company's inability to 
successfully introduce new products or to penetrate new markets.

         The Company has sufficient cash on-hand to finance current operations
and does not anticipate requiring additional funding in excess of the current
cash balances and cash flow generated from operations. If required, management
believes additional funding will be available from financial institutions or
NSA, Inc. at satisfactory terms.

                           PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

                 The Company is party to various claims and matters of
litigation that arise in the normal course of its business. Management of the
Company believes the resolution of these matters will not have a material
adverse effect on the results of operations or the financial condition of the
Company.

         On February 12, 1993, a complaint for injunctive relief and damages was
filed against the Company's affiliate, NSA, and Messrs. A. Jay Martin, L.F.
Swords and George R. Poteet, individually, in the United States District Court
for the Northern District of California. The named plaintiffs are seeking relief
on behalf of themselves and for an alleged class of persons who participated or
attempted to participate in NSA's multi-level marketing plan from February 13,
1989 to the present. The complaint alleges that the NSA multi-level marketing
plan constitutes an unlawful pyramid scheme and the sale of unregistered
securities made through the use of allegedly untrue, inaccurate and misleading
statements of material facts. It further alleges that the NSA marketing plan was
promoted utilizing fraudulent activities, unfair business practices and false
advertising. NSA and the individual defendants answered denying the allegations.
During a hearing on October 1, 1993, motions regarding the certification of the
alleged class were argued before the court. On April 5, 1994, the case was moved
to the Federal District Court for the Western District of Tennessee. The
magistrate judge assigned to the case recommended certification of the class and
NSA filed exceptions to the report. On August 20, 1996, the Court rendered an
Order Granting Plaintiff's Motion for Class Certification as Modified. On March
12, 1996, the Court denied Defendant's Motion for Reconsideration, for
Clarification of Class Certification, Stay or Alternatively for Interlocutory
Appeal.
