                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                         SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998

                                   (UNAUDITED)


1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The  accompanying  financial  statements  are  unaudited,  but  reflect all
     adjustments  which, in the opinion of management,  are necessary for a fair
     presentation  of financial  position and the results of operations  for the
     interim  periods  presented.  All  such  adjustments  are of a  normal  and
     recurring nature.  The results of operations for any interim period are not
     necessarily indicative of the results attainable for a full fiscal year.

2. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

     Basic per share  information is computed based on the weighted  average 
     number of shares outstanding during the period.

3. GAIN ON FORGIVENESS OF DEBT

     During the six months  ended June 30,  1998,  the  Company  realized a $1.5
     million gain on the work-out of various debt and payables of its subsidiary
     Global Health Alternatives, Inc.

4. PREFERRED STOCK

     In February 1998, the Company sold 300 shares of its  convertible  Series B
     preferred stock for $1,000 a share realizing net proceeds of $261,500.  The
     preferred  stock is convertible  commencing on April 4, 1998 at the rate of
     70% of the  average  closing  bid price of the common  stock over the three
     days preceding the notice of conversion. As of June 30, 1998, 185 shares of
     the Series B  preferred  stock had been  converted  into a total of 408,452
     shares of common stock.

     In April 1998,  the Company sold 4,000 shares of its  convertible  Series C
     preferred  stock for $1,000 a share  realizing net proceeds of  $3,507,000.
     The preferred  stock pays dividends at the rate of 10% per annum payable in
     cash or shares of the  Company?s  common stock valued at 75% of the closing
     bid price.  The preferred stock has a liquidation  preference of $1,000 per
     share. The preferred stock is convertible commencing 41 days after issuance
     at the rate of 75% of the  average  closing  bid price of the common  stock
     over the five days preceding the notice of conversion.  The Company has the
     right to redeem the preferred stock for 240 days after the date of issuance
     at the rate of 133% of the stated  value.  From the  proceeds  raised,  the
     Company  paid  $2,500,000  to  retire  $1,568,407  face  value of  Series A
     preferred stock outstanding.

5. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

     In August 1998, the Company sold its three  vocational  schools and certain
     related  businesses.  Revenues for the vocational  school operations were 
     $2,316,028 for the six months  ended June 30, 1998 and $ 2,459,429  for the
     comparable  period in 1997.  The  Company  expects  the  vocational  school
     operation  to operate at  break-even  between June 30, 1998 and the date of
     the sale, and a profit is anticipated from the sale.  Therefore,  no future
     losses on the discontinued vocational school segment have been reflected as
     of June 30, 1998.

     Following is a calculation of the estimated gain on the disposition of the 
     Company's vocational school operations

         Proceeds from sale of schools                               $1,800,000

            ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT?S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                       CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


The following  discussion  should be read in conjunction  with the  consolidated
financial statements and notes contained in Item 1 hereof.

Forward-Looking Statements

When  used  in Form  10-QSB  and in  future  filings  by the  Company  with  the
Securities and Exchange  Commission,  the words "will likely  result",  and "the
Company expects", "will continue", "is anticipated",  "estimated", "project", or
"outlook"  or similar  expressions  are intended to identify  "forward-  looking
statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Act of 1995.
The  Company  wishes to caution  readers  not to place  undue  reliance  on such
forward-looking  statements,  each of which speak only as of the date made. Such
statements  are  subject to certain  risks and  uncertainties  that could  cause
actual results to differ materially from historical earnings and those presently
anticipated or projected.  The Company has no obligation to publicly release the
result of any revisions which may be made to any  forward-looking  statements to
reflect anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances occurring after the
date of such statements.

Result of Operations

                     SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 AND 1997

Prior to July 1997,  the  Company's  operations  consisted  entirely  of medical
clinics and  vocational  schools. Uoon the  acquisition of Global Health  
Alternatives,  Inc. (GHA) on July 23, 1997,  the Company began to market and 
distribute a line of  natural,  over-the-counter  homeopathic  pharmaceutical  
products.  The Company subsequently discontinued its medical clinic line of 
business during the third quarter of 1997, and sold the vocational  schools 
in August 1998.

For the six months ended June 30, 1997,  the Company?s  current  ongoing line of
business (GHA natural  products) was not in operation,  not having been acquired
until July 1997.  Accordingly,  comparison  of  year-to-date  Revenues,  Cost of
Sales, and Selling,  General & Administrative  Expenses between 1998 and 1997 is
not meaningful.  The discussion below includes comparisons of operations for the
quarter ended June 30, 1998 with the two  immediately  preceding  quarters  the
only previous quarters which include a full three months of GHA operations.

Revenues:

Total revenues for continued operations for the quarter ended June 30, 1998 were
$402,947, as compared to quarterly revenues of $429,884 and $598,524 for the two
preceding  quarters.  If the $142,555 proceeds from a truck theft settlement are
excluded  from revenues in the quarter  ended  December 31, 1997,  the quarterly
trend of revenues  reflects a decrease of approximately 6% quarterly. This  
decrease  is  attributable  to a  reduction  in the  selling  price of the
Company's Natural Relief 1222 product as well as to the closure of operations in
the United Kingdom  (effective  December 31, 1997) and the January  1998  
disposition  of a kiosk retail operation.

Cost of Sales:

Cost of Sales  for the  quarter  ended  June 30,  1998 were  $111,255  (27.6% of
revenues),  as compared to $112,099  (26.1% of revenues) and $249,961  (41.8% of
revenues) for the two preceding quarters. The increase in Cost of Sales as
a  percentage  of  revenues  that  occurred  in  the  most  recent   quarter  is
attributable to the price reduction in Natural Relief 122, which is  partially
offset by a favorable  change in product mix. Cost of Sales in the quarter ended
December  31,  1997  were  significantly  higher  due to higher royalty costs
and year end inventory write-downs.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses:

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 1998
were  $858,325,  as compared to $839,125 and  $1,826,870  for the two  preceding
quarters.  The higher cost  structure in place during the quarter ended December
31, 1997 included  operations in the United Kingdom and a retail  operation that
were  discontinued in December 1997 and January 1998,  respectively,  as well as
significantly higher advertising costs (by approximately $525,000 per quarterly)
and minimum royalty charges of $139,661 that were eliminated  effective December
31, 1997.

Interest Expense:

Interest Expense for the six months ended June 30, 1998 was $269,053 as compared
to $201,728 for the comparable period in 1997.  The increase is due to the 
interest payable on GHA's  notes ($124,192), partially offset by a reduction in
the parent company's interest expense, resulting from the conversion of 
convertible debentures in the fourth quarter of 1997 and January 1998.

Discontinued Operations:

In October 1997,  the Company  closed its medical  clinic located in Boca Raton,
Florida.  In February  1998,  the Company sold its remaining  medical  clinic in
Pompano Beach, Florida. All anticipated losses on these discontinued  operations
were  reflected in the fiscal year ended  December 31, 1997. In August 1998, the
Company  sold its three  vocational  schools  and  certain  related  businesses.
Revenues  for the  vocational  school  operations  were $ 2,316,028  for the six
months ended June 30, 1998 and $ 2,459,429  for the  comparable  period in 1997.
The  Company  expects the  vocational  school  segment to operate at  break-even
between June 30, 1998 and the date of the sale, and a profit is anticipated from
the sale.  Therefore,  no future losses on the  discontinued  vocational  school
segment have been reflected as of June 30, 1998.

Gain on Forgiveness of Debt:

During the six months ended June 30, 1998, the Company realized a gain of
$1,508,092 from the work-out of various debt and payables of GHA.

Net Income (Loss):

For the six months ended June 30, 1998, the net profit was $86,623, as compared 
to a net loss of $1,031,888 for the six months ended June 30, 1997. The increase
in profit is attributable to the Extraordinary Gain on Forgiveness of Debt,
partially offset by GHA's Operating Loss for 1998.

                         Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company has funded its working capital and capital expenditure  requirements
from cash provided through borrowing from institutions and individuals, and from
the sale of the  Company's  securities  in  private  placements.  The  Company's
primary source of cash receipts has been from the payments for tuition, fees and
books from its soon-to-be-discontinued vocational school operations. The Company
also realizes cash receipts from the sale of GHA's products.

In  February  1998,  the  Company  issued  $300,000  face  amount  of  Series  B
convertible preferred stock, net of expenses of $113,658.

In April 1998, the Company issued $4,000,000 face amount of Series C convertible
preferred stock, net of expenses of $492,500. The preferred stock pays a 
dividend of 12% per annum and is convertible into common stock at 75% of the 
market value of the common stock, commencing 41 days after issuance.  From the 
proceeds raised, the Company paid $2,500,000 to retire $1,568,407 face value of
Series A  preferred stock outstanding.

At June 30, 1998 the ratio of current assets to current liabilities was .52 to
1.0.  There was a working capital deficit of $3,199,674.

Cash used in operations for the six months ended June 30, 1998 was $1,092,357, 
attributable primarily to the net reduction in accounts payable and accrued 
expenses of $1,302,635 and $676,443, respectively.  Capital expenditures used 
$46,954 of cash.

In August  1998,  the  Company  sold its three  vocational  schools  and certain
related businesses for $1,800,000.  The proceeds will be used to provide working
capital to redeem preferred stock and to redeem a portion of the Company's  
outstanding  debt. The Company anticipates  that further  additional  financing 
will be required to finance the Company's  continued  operations during the next
twelve months, principally to fund the continued development and growth of GHA's
product sales.  Management is currently seeking at least $3.0 million in 
additional capital to continue GHA's business plan of marketing  development and
support.  There can be no assurance that  the  Company  will  be able  to secure
such  additional  debt or  equity financing.  Failure to obtain  additional  
financing  of at least  $2.5  million within the next six months will require  
reductions in operating  expenses, and may have a material impact on the ability
of the Company to increase GHA's sales and to continue  operations.  If the 
Company obtains additional  financing of at least $2.5 million for the next six 
months,  of which there can be no assurance, the Company  believes  that its net
cash flow may be  sufficient  to finance the Company's operations for the period
of at least 12 months thereafter.
