              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


General

The information contained herein with respect to the three and nine month
periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 has not been audited but was prepared
in conformity with the accounting principles and policies described in the
Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1996.
Included are the adjustments which in the opinion of management are necessary
for a fair presentation of the financial information for the three and nine
month periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996. The results are not
necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year.

1.   Financing

On June 20, 1997, the Registrant repaid outstanding bank debt of $1,275,000
from the proceeds of sale of the assets of the Vitamin Specialties Division
(see "Disposition of Assets").

On October 15, 1997, Montana Naturals Int'l Inc. ("Montana Naturals") a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant, closed a $4,500,000 bank credit
agreement, comprising a $2,500,000 working capital loan and two fixed asset
loans aggregating $2,000,000. A portion of the proceeds of the working capital
loan, $750,000, was drawn down at closing to repay outstanding debt and to fund
working capital. The loans are collateralized by all the assets of Montana
Naturals and the credit agreement contains covenants restricting working
capital advance rates to percentages of eligible receivables and inventory, and
requires Montana Naturals to meet certain income, liquidity and capitalization
ratios. The maturity date of the working capital loan is June 30, 2005 and on
one of the fixed asset loans is June 30, 2005 and October 1, 2017 on the other.
The loans are repayable in equal monthly installments over their respective
lives commencing July 1998. The interest rate on outstanding loans is initially
prime plus 1.25%, converting on June 30, 1998 to the treasury rate plus 3.5%
corresponding to the loan term. These loans are in addition to the Montana
Naturals loan from the Lake County Community Development Corporation (through
the Montana Department of Commerce) in the principal amount of $450,000 which
has been used to expand the Nautilus product line and to promote existing
products.

During October 1997 the Registrant executed a commitment letter with a
financial group in terms of which that group will provide up to $1,000,000 in
asset-based financing to Jason Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Jason"), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Registrant. The financing, which is expected to close during
November, will be collateralized by all the assets of Jason and will provide
working capital for Jason, primarily to finance its existing product line.

2.   Disposition of Assets

On June 20, 1997, the Registrant sold its Vitamin Specialties line of business
and all tangible and intangible assets associated therewith for approximately
$2,692,000 in cash. The assets included all inventories, furniture, fixtures,
and point of sales/systems in fifteen retail outlets operated by the Vitamin
Specialties Division in the Philadelphia area, including the stores in New
Jersey except the "store within a store" in the WalMart Supercenter in
Lewistown, PA. Also included were the Vitamin Specialties inventories held in
the Owings Mills, Maryland and Arlee, Montana warehouses. The assets sold or
assigned included store cash on the day of closing, certain deposits on leased
property, lease rights in the fifteen stores, goodwill, the name "Vitamin
Specialties", trade secrets, copyrights, customer lists, mailing lists, permits
and licenses in connection with the Vitamin Specialties Division. No
liabilities were assumed by the purchaser.

<PAGE>

Proceeds of $1,275,000 were used to pay outstanding debt by the Registrant and
$105,000 to satisfy liens on the computer hardware and software of the Vitamin
Specialties Division. The balance of the initial proceeds of $1,241,000 will be
used by the Registrant as working capital. A Note Payable to the Registrant
from the purchaser is due December 20, 1997 for $75,000 plus interest.


3.  Sale of Convertible Preferred Stock

In August 1996, the Registrant sold 432,500 shares of 8% Convertible Preferred
Stock due 2001 which generated gross proceeds of $865,000. The shares are
convertible into the Registrant's common stock on the basis of one share of
common for each share of convertible preferred stock. The proceeds were used to
develop the Nautilus(R) brand products and for working capital.

                     Management Discussion and Analysis of
                 Financial Condition and Results of Operations


Results of Operation

      Nine Months Ended September 30, 1997 and September 30, 1996. Revenues
      decreased $647,000 or 5% over the same period in 1996. The decrease was
      attributable primarily to exclusion of the revenues of the Vitamin
      Specialties Division from the date of its divestiture, June 20, 1997 and
      had generated revenues of $1,038,000 in the third quarter of the prior
      year. This was partially offset by increased private label sales and
      sales of Nautilus(R) Brand products.

      Cost of Sales, including warehousing, distribution, and occupancy
      increased by $398,000 or 6%, and as a percentage of revenues increased by
      6% from 56% in 1996 to 62% in 1997. The increase as a percentage of
      revenues was primarily due to an increase of lower margin private label
      revenues and the Nautilus(R) Brand sales.

      Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $502,000 or
      10%, and as a percentage of revenues increased 39% to 45% or 6% between
      1996 and 1997. The increases are attributable to costs associated with
      introducing the Nautilus(R) Brand products line, upgrading the Vitamin
      Specialties line to meet future FDA labeling requirements and costs
      associated with terminating certain employees and reducing the employment
      term of the previous CEOand President, who became a consultant on August
      13, 1997 and which expires December 31, 1997.

      Interest expense was unchanged in 1997.

      A benefit of $50,000 for income taxes has been accrued in 1997 compared
      to the $62,000 net benefit in 1996.

      Arising from the above, a net loss of $1,034,000 was incurred in the
      first nine months of 1997 as compared to net income of $172,000 in the
      same period in 1996.

      The Vitamin Specialties operation recorded cumulative losses of
      approximately $2,000,000 over the past three years. In 1997, Vitamin
      Specialties' losses amounted to $578,000.
