                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


To the Board of Directors
Hall Laboratories, Inc.
Portland, Oregon

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Hall
Laboratories, Inc. and its subsidiary, as of January 31, 1996 and 1995, and the
related consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders' equity and
cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are
the responsibility of the corporation's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our
audit.

We have conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Hall
Laboratories, Inc., and subsidiary as of January 31, 1996 and 1995, and the
results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                     HALL LABORATORIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
                 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Hall Laboratories, Inc., an Oregon corporation incorporated on February 7, 1953,
is a manufacturer and wholesaler of vitamins and nutritional supplements to drug
stores, supermarkets, and mass merchandising chains as well as health food and
independent drug stores located primarily in the Western United States and
Canada. Company headquarters are located in Portland, Oregon.

SUBSIDIARY - Hall Laboratories, Ltd. was incorporated as a Canadian corporation
under laws of the Province of British Columbia in 1980. The company is subject
to Canadian income tax laws. This subsidiary is subject to federal and
provincial taxes at rates of 29% and 16%, respectively.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION - The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Hall Laboratories, Inc., and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Hall
Laboratories, Ltd. All material intercompany transactions and accounts have been
eliminated.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION - Assets and liabilities of the subsidiary
operating in Canada are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rates in
effect at the balance sheet date. Results of operations are translated using the
average exchange rates prevailing throughout the period. The effects of exchange
rate fluctuations on translating foreign currency assets and liabilities into
U.S. dollars are included in stockholders' equity.

USE OF ESTIMATES - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures.
Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS - For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash
flows, the company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with a maturity
of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

INVENTORIES - Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost has
been determined under the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method with respect to the
majority of items in inventory, which includes finished products,
work-in-process, raw materials and packaging materials. The cost of the
remainder of the inventory, which includes labor, overhead, and labels, has been
determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. The LIFO reserve at
January 31, 1996 and 1995 was $631,185 and $1,185,758, respectively. Inventories
at January 31, 1996 and 1995 consist of:

                                            1996                1995

                     HALL LABORATORIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
                 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued

EQUIPMENT AND LEASEHOLD IMPROVEMENTS - Equipment and leasehold improvements are
stated at cost. Major expenditures and those which substantially increase useful
lives are capitalized. Maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are charged to
expense when incurred. When equipment is sold or otherwise disposed of, the
asset account and related accumulated depreciation account are relieved, and any
gain or loss is included in the consolidated statement of income.

The cost of equipment is depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the
related assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the term
of the related lease or the estimated useful lives of the assets.

Depreciation of equipment and amortization of leasehold improvements are
computed on the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS - Intangible assets consist of goodwill acquired upon the
purchase of Perry Medical Products, Inc. during 1990. Goodwill represents the
excess of cost over the fair value of the net assets acquired in the purchase
and is not amortized.

INCOME TAXES - The company's recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities
is based upon the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in
the company's financial statements or tax returns. In estimating future tax
consequences, the company considers all expected future events other than
enactments of changes in the tax law or rates.

Deferred income taxes reflect the tax effects of temporary differences in the
reporting of certain items of income and expenses. The differences arises from
several sources. The largest sources are: certain expenses deducted for
financial reporting purposes which are not as yet deductible for tax purposes;
alternate methods of depreciation are used for tax purposes than that used for
financial reporting, as described in the Equipment and Leasehold Improvements
section of this note; the installment method of reporting gain from the sale of
land and building was elected for tax purposes, which for financial reporting
purposes, was recognized in total at the time of sale; and general and
administrative costs capitalized for tax purposes under Code Section 263(a) have
not been capitalized for financial reporting.

The company has recorded a deferred tax asset of $448,305. Although realization
is not assured, management believes it is more likely than not that all the
deferred tax asset will be realized. The amount of the deferred tax asset
considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near future if facts
surrounding the estimate of the deferred tax asset changes.

Alternative minimum tax and various credits are included in the provision for
income taxes when applicable. Alternative minimum tax and subsequent credits
result from financial and tax differences between reporting of depreciation and
other miscellaneous items.

NOTE 13 - MERGER

On November 13, 1995 the company executed an agreement and Plan of Merger (the
"Merger"), which was amended and restated as of February 13, 1996, with IVC
Industries, Inc. ("IVC"). IVC is a publicly traded company engaged in
manufacturing, packaging and worldwide sales and distribution of vitamins and
nutritional supplements through drug stores, supermarkets, and mass
merchandising chains as well as health food stores and independent drug stores.
Terms of the agreement call for conversion of all the company's outstanding
equity securities, including stock appreciation rights, into 3,821,363 newly
issued shares of IVC's common stock. The merger will be accounted for as a
pooling of interests.

IVC had net sales of $49 million for the year ended July 31, 1995.

           UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

         The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial
statements give effect to the Merger under the "pooling of interests" method of
accounting. The pro forma financial statements are presented for illustrative
purposes only, and therefore are not necessarily indicative of the operating
results and financial position that might have been achieved had the transaction
occurred as of an earlier date, nor are they necessarily indicative of operating
results and financial position which may occur in the future.

         The condensed historical statements of income for periods presented are
derived from the historical financial statements of IVC and Hall, and should be
read in conjunction with their financial statements. The historical financial
statements as of and for the six months ended January 31, 1996 and 1995 and the
twelve months ended July 31, 1995 and 1994 have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles and, in the opinions of IVC's and
Hall's respective managements, include all adjustments necessary for a fair
presentation of financial information for such periods.

         A pro forma condensed combined balance sheet is provided as of January
31, 1996 giving effect to the transaction as though it had been consummated on
that date. Pro forma condensed combined income statements are provided for the
six months ended January 31, 1996 and 1995 and the twelve months ended July 31,
1995 and 1994 giving effect to the transaction as though it had occurred at the
beginning of the earliest period presented.

(a)  Pro forma dividends per share are assumed to be the same as the historical
     dividends of IVC Industries, Inc. IVC Industries, Inc. has historically
     paid no dividends (other than S Corporation distributions to American
     shareholders and distributions to partners of Hidel prior to the
     combination of these entities with IVC) and has no present intentions of
     paying dividends in the foreseeable future.

(b)  The equivalent pro forma per share amounts were calculated by multiplying
     the pro forma income per share before non-recurring charges or credits
     attributable to the Merger and the pro forma book value of IVC by the
     exchange ratio so that the per share amounts are equated to the respective
     values for one share of Hall. For example, the pro forma equivalent book
     value and income per share from continuing operations as of or for the six
     months January 31, 1996 were calculated by multiplying pro forma book value
     ($.82) by 171.7466516 (the "exchange ratio"), income from continuing
     operations ($.09) per share by the exchange ratio and pro forma income from
     continuing operations ($.09) per share by the exchange ratio.

(c)  Pro forma income per share reflects the effects of the pro forma tax
     provisions of American and Hidel.

                 NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED
                              FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.       Basis of Presentation

         The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are
presented for illustrative purposes only, giving effect to the combination of
IVC and Hall as accounted for using the "pooling of interests" method. The pro
forma condensed combined statements of income, and the historical statements
from which they are derived, present only income from continuing operations and,
therefore, do not include discontinued operations, extraordinary items, and the
cumulative effects of accounting changes.

         Because the Merger has not been consummated and transition plans are
currently being developed, transaction costs and nonrecurring costs and expenses
expected to be incurred in connection with the integration of the companies'
business operations can only be estimated at this time. The pro forma condensed
combined statement of income excludes: (i) the positive effects of potential
cost savings which may be achieved upon combining the resources of the
companies; (ii) investment banking, legal and miscellaneous costs relating to
the Merger, currently estimated to be $0.4 million to $0.5 million; and (iii)
other nonrecurring costs and expenses expected to be incurred subsequent to the
Merger including $0.6 million to $0.8 million in connection with the integration
of the companies' operations, and approximately $0.1 million to $0.2 million
related to termination benefits which may be paid to employees.

         The pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of January 31, 1996
includes the impact of all transactions, whether of a recurring or nonrecurring
nature, that can be reasonably estimated and should be reflected as of that
date. Therefore, current liabilities reflects pro forma adjustments of $1.1
million, net of related taxes of $0.3 million, for the minimum of the above
estimated ranges of amounts for transaction, integration and termination costs
related to the Merger. The pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of
January 31, 1996 also reflects the assumed exercise of the Hall Options.

         Pro forma combined weighted average shares reflects the dilutive effect
of the exercise of the Hall Options which are assumed to be exercised at the
beginning of the periods presented. It is also assumed that the proceeds from
the exercise of these options would have been used to purchase shares of IVC
Common Stock at the average market price during the periods presented. The pro
forma condensed combined balance sheet as of January 31, 1996 also reflects
compensation paid to certain Hall employees, who held Stock Appreciation Rights
("SARs"), in the form of 670,055 shares of IVC Common Stock, at an estimated
price per share of $3 5/16, net of the SARs liability of $0.5 million and
related taxes of $0.7 million.

2.       Accounting Period

         The pro forma periods are dated in terms of IVC's historical financial
reporting periods.

3.       Pro Forma Adjustments

         The pro forma financial statements have been adjusted for the items set
forth below, the amounts of which are reflected in the adjustment column of the
pro forma financial statements:

         (1) Intercompany Transactions - All intercompany transactions have been
eliminated from the pro forma combined operating results and balance sheet.
Eliminations include sales and purchases and amounts due and from the combining
entities.


                                       27

         (2) Selling, General and Administrative Expenses - Merger costs of
approximately $418,000 and $80,000 for the six months ended January 31, 1996 and
the twelve months ended July 31, 1995, respectively, that had been incurred by
the companies have been eliminated from selling, general and administrative
expenses.

         (3) Common Shareholders' Equity - Common shareholders' equity as of
January 31, 1996 has been adjusted to reflect the following:

              (a) Common stock accounts are adjusted for the assumed issuance of
         an aggregate of 3,821,363 shares of IVC Common Stock pursuant to the
         Merger Agreement.

              (b) Paid-in capital is adjusted for (i) the effects of the
         aforementioned issuance of shares of IVC Common Stock having a par
         value of $.01 per share in exchange for Hall common stock with no par
         value and (ii) compensation paid to certain Hall employees who held
         SARs in the form of 670,055 shares of IVC Common Stock, at an estimated
         price per share of $3 5/16.

              (c) Retained earnings are adjusted for (i) the minimum of the
         estimated range of transaction, integration and termination costs of
         $1.4 million, net of related taxes of $0.4 million and (ii)
         compensation paid to certain Hall employees who held SARs, in the form
         of 670,055 shares of IVC Common Stock, at an estimated price per share
         of $3 5/16, net of the SARs liability of $0.5 million and related taxes
         of $0.7 million.
