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

Results of Operations

Net sales for the third quarter ended September 30, 1997 were $3.5 million,
an increase of $64 thousand, compared to $3.5 million for the third quarter
ended September 30, 1996.  Sales for the third quarter 1997 benefitted from
sales of products under the Company's sales and marketing agreements which
include: Humibid GC, a nonprescription formulation of the Rx drug, Humibid;

                                 6
<PAGE>

Derifil, an internal deodorant, and Capsaicin, a generic version of Zostrix
cream.  Net sales for these brands totaled $519 thousand, an increase of
$183 thousand over the three months ending September 30, 1996.  Net sales of
the Company's remaining brands decreased a net of $119 thousand compared to
the three months ended September 30, 1996, principally as the result of
decreased sales of Benzedrex, which declined $122 thousand.  The sales
decline of these remaining brands is due to continued competition and trade
destocking pressures.  Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 1997
were $10.4 million, compared to $10.2 million for the comparable period of
1996.  Year-to-date sales of products under the sales and marketing
agreements were $1.2 million, an increase of $565 thousand over the same 
nine-month period a year ago.  Net sales for the nine months ended September
30, 1997 for all other brands decreased $370 thousand compared to the nine
months ended September 30, 1996.  This decrease is principally due to the
sales decrease of Benzedrex and Garfield totaling $617 thousand.

Cost of goods sold for the third quarter ending September 30, 1997 was $1.7
million compared to $1.6 million in the respective 1996 period, representing
48% and 45% of net sales in their respective periods.  The increase in the
cost of goods sold, as a percentage of sales for the third quarter is a 
result of the change in mix-of-products sold.  Year-to-date cost of goods
sold was $5.1 million, or 49% of net sales in 1997, compared to $5.1 million,
or 50% of net sales for 1996.  The decrease in the cost of goods sold, as a 
percentage of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, is a result
of a decrease in returns and allowances, along with the change in mix-of-
products sold.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three and nine month 
periods of 1997 were $1.2 million and $4.0 million, an increase of $98 and
$636 thousand compared to the respective 1996 period. The increase for the
nine months ended September 30, 1997 is primarily due to an increase in
marketing costs associated with the products under the Company's sales and
marketing agreements. Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a
percentage of sales, may fluctuate quarter to quarter based upon the timing
of these expenditures and the level of sales within a quarter.

Interest income was $25 thousand for the third quarter of 1997, compared to
interest expense, including finance cost amortization, of $22 thousand for
the prior year period.  There was no bank debt outstanding at September 30,
1997. Bank debt outstanding at September 30, 1996 was $1.3 million.

The Company, at December 31, 1996, had a net operating loss carryforward for
federal income tax purposes of approximately $6.8 million which may be used
to offset future taxable income.  These loss carryforwards expire in the
years 2005 through 2008.  The Company recognized $350 thousand in tax expense
for the third quarter of 1997, and $504 thousand year-to-date.  The effective
tax rate exceeds the statutory federal tax rate primarily as a result of the
amortization of product lines and trade names which is not deductible for tax
purposes.  The Company has net deferred tax assets of $591 thousand in its
condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 1997, which is
primarily made up of two items, net operating loss carryforwards and future 
deductible expenses.

                                7
<PAGE>

For the third quarter ended September 30, 1997, the Company had a net loss
of $79 thousand or $0.01 per share compared to net income of $85 thousand or
$0.01 per share for the third quarter ended September 30, 1996.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At September 30, 1997, the Company had working capital of $8.2 million. 
Working capital was provided by its operations and may also be provided by 
the periodic use of its revolving credit facility. The revolving credit 
facility has a maximum borrowing limit of $3.0 million and terminates on June
30, 1998, unless extended.  At September 30, 1997, the Company had no amount
outstanding under the revolving credit facility.  The amount of borrowing, if
any, and the subsequent repayments under the facility depend on the 
seasonality of the Company's sales, marketing plans and profits.  Also, 
extended payment date terms consistent with standard industry practice, which
are offered to the Company's customers under marketing programs, create
seasonal changes in the Company's cash flow.  These extended payment programs
are directly related to the seasonal promotion of the Company's cough and
cold brands.

All outstanding debt under the term loan was paid on January 23, 1997, and 
the Company has no bank debt outstanding, a reduction of $1.3 million since
September 30, 1996.

As of September 30, 1997, the Company's primary cash requirements are for its
normal operating activities.  The Company's strategic focus in the year
ahead is to grow by building a brand-name health care products business. 
The Company's strategy is to develop a new product or revitalize an existing
brand, which will receive marketing funds from the cash flow generated from
other products, and/or to purchase a new brand or company, preferably in the
Nutraceutical vitamin and herb supplement market.  Management believes that
cash flow from operations and current and future borrowing capacity will be
sufficient to fund the Company's operating and capital requirements for
the foreseeable future.
