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

Three Months Ended October 31, 1998 Compared to the Three Months Ended October
31, 1997

      Results of Operations. For the quarter ended October 31, 1998, net income
was $179,000, equivalent to basic earnings per share of $.01, as compared to
$332,000 or $.02 per share, in the same quarter last year. Diluted earnings per
share were also $.01 as compared to $.02 last year.

      Net Sales. Net sales for the quarter were $29.2 million, representing an
increase of $1.5 million or 5.5% versus the same period of 1997. The increase is
primarily due to an increase in private brand (label) sales. This was offset, in
part, by a decline in sales of the Company's branded product lines and sales to
outside customers by the Company's soft gel encapsulation facility, as
production was shifted to meet internal requirements for soft gels.

      Costs and Expenses. Cost of sales for the three months ended October 31,
1998 was $22.2 million, an increase of $1.3 million or 6.2% from the $20.9
million for the three months ended October 31, 1997. Cost of sales increased .5%
as a percentage of sales over the prior year's period. This was primarily due to
an unfavorable sales mix towards private label products, which entail lower
margins.

      The Company has begun a major effort to reduce overall expenses. In
October, the manufacturing workforce in Freehold and at the soft gel
encapsulation facility was reduced significantly and operations realigned to
meet projected sales growth. Major emphasis has also been focused on reducing
inventory to appropriate levels, which will also increase cash flow.

      Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and
administrative expenses for the three months ended October 31, 1998 were $6.1
million, an increase of $.3 million or 5.4% as compared to the prior year's
quarter. This increase is primarily attributable to: (i) higher promotion costs,
commissions and other selling expenses due to the higher sales levels, (ii)
increased sales and distribution staff costs, and (iii) increased cost of
outside professional services. These were partially offset by a decrease in
executive and administrative salaries and staff levels and lower office
expenses.

      Other Expenses, Net. Other expenses, net, for the three months ended
October 31, 1998 were $612,000. This principally represents interest expense of
$686,000, which was offset by other miscellaneous income. Other expenses, net,
for the three months ended October 31, 1997 was $547,000. This included interest
expense of $556,000, offset by miscellaneous income.

      Income Taxes. Income taxes generally reflect the effect of statutory
federal and state income tax rates and certain non-deductible expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

      In August 1998, the Company entered into an equipment lease agreement in
the amount of $2 million to finance the purchase of manufacturing equipment to
upgrade its operation capabilities. To date, the Company utilized $890,000 under
this agreement. The lease is for a seven-year term at an interest rate of 7.2%,
with interest and principal paid monthly. The equipment purchased with the
proceeds of the lease financing secures the lease.

      Operating activities utilized $1.1 million in cash for the three-month
period ended October 31, 1998, versus $0.7 million provided for the comparable
period in 1997. $846,000 was generated from net income plus non-cash
depreciation and amortization. A decrease in inventory of $4.8 million and $0.7
million in accounts payable and accrued expenses was offset by an increase of
$2.9 million in accounts receivable and $2.7 million in other assets.

      The Company presently has a revolving line of credit and a term loan with
its bank in the amounts of $21.5 million and $1.75 million, respectively. These
agreements expire on March 31, 1999, but can be extended under certain
circumstances to August 31, 1999. The notes are collateralized by substantially
all of the Company's assets. In addition, the Company has lease financing
agreements with two banks in the amount of $3 million for the acquisition of
computer and manufacturing equipment. At October 31, 1998, approximately $1.3
million was available for additions.

      The agreement with the bank requires the Company to maintain certain
financial ratios and minimum working capital. At October 31, 1998, the Company
was in violation of certain of these covenants, which have been waived by the
bank. The entire balance due to the bank is classified as a current liability.

      The Company believes that its existing cash balance, internally generated
funds from operations and available financing will provide the liquidity
required to satisfy the Company's working capital needs and anticipated capital
expenditures for the next fiscal year.
