Note 3 - Long-Term Debt:

      On October 16, 2000 the Company entered into a new credit agreement with
Congress Financial Corporation, a subsidiary of First Union Corporation, to
replace a previously existing credit agreement. The agreement matures on October
16, 2003. The Company can borrow up to $25,000 under a revolving credit
commitment and $5,500 under a term loan commitment, subject to borrowing base
limitations, as defined. Borrowings under the revolving credit commitment bear
interest at either .75% above First Union's "prime rate" or at the Company's
option, a rate of 2.75% above the adjusted Eurodollar rate used by the bank. The
interest rate on the term loan is .25% higher than the revolving loan rates
outlined above. The notes are collateralized by substantially all of the
Company's assets.

      The agreement requires the Company to maintain minimum tangible net worth
and contains various restrictions customary in such financial arrangements,
including limitations on the payment of cash dividends.

Note 4 - Net Income (loss) Per Share:

      Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing income available
to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares
outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by
dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number
of common shares outstanding during the period increased to include the number
of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the dilutive
potential common shares had been issued.

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

Three Months Ended October 31, 2000 Compared to the Three Months Ended October
31, 1999.

Results of operations. (Dollars in Thousands, except As Noted or Per Share
Information)

Net loss for the quarter ended October 31, 2000 was $1,075, equivalent to a
basic and diluted loss of $.51 per share versus net income of $4,976, equivalent
to basic and diluted earnings of $2.38 per share, for the quarter ended October
31, 1999. The results for the prior year's quarter include an after-tax gain of
$6,000 or $2.87 per share from a price-fixing settlement with a supplier.
Excluding this one-time gain, the Company would have incurred a loss of $1,024,
or a $.49 loss per basic and diluted share.

Net sales for the quarter ended October 31, 2000 were $15,828 as compared to
$21,412 in the prior year, a decrease of $5,584 or 26.1%. This reduction was
primarily attributable to a decrease in private label and branded sales to
existing customers due to the softness in the overall market for vitamins, herbs
and supplements, and increased price and product competition.

Cost of sales for the quarter ended October 31, 2000 was $12,124, a decrease of
$4,230 or 25.9% from $16,354 for the quarter ended October 31, 1999. Cost of
sales increased .2% as a percentage of net sales over the prior year's period,
primarily attributable to higher overhead costs.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended October 31,
2000 were $4,548, a decrease of $1,186 or 28.9% as compared to the prior year's
quarter. The decrease is the result of lower salary costs due to cuts in staff,
and lower promotional, commission and distribution costs due to reduced sales
levels.

Other expenses-net for the quarter ended October 31, 2000 were $748,
representing interest expense of $690, write-off of deferred financing costs of
$65 due to the refinancing, and offset by other miscellaneous income. Other
expenses-net for the three months ended October 31, 1999 were $345. This
principally represents interest expense of $427, which was offset by other
miscellaneous income.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net cash provided by operating activities for the quarter ended October 31, 2000
was primarily the result of decreased accounts receivable of $1,307, decreased
inventory of $3,180, and depreciation of $698. Offsetting the increases in cash
were a net loss of $1,075, an increase in deferred taxes of $605, a decrease in
accounts payable and accrued expenses of $2,453 and an increase in prepaid and
other assets of $498.

Cash used in investing activities for the quarter ended October 31, 2000 was $19
for the purchase of equipment.

Cash provided from financing activities for the quarter ended October 31, 2000
was $331 which was the result of higher borrowings.

On October 16, 2000 the Company entered into a new credit agreement with
Congress Financial Corporation, a subsidiary of First Union Corporation, to
replace a previously existing credit agreement. The agreement matures on October
16, 2003. The Company can borrow up to $25,000 under a revolving credit
commitment and $5,500 under a term loan commitment, subject to borrowing base
limitations, as defined. Borrowings under the revolving credit commitment bear
interest at either .75% above First Union's "prime rate" or at the Company's
option, a rate of 2.75% above the adjusted Eurodollar rate used by the bank. The
interest rate on the term loan is .25% higher than the revolving loan rates
outlined above. The notes are collateralized by substantially all of the
Company's assets.

The agreement requires the Company to maintain minimum tangible net worth and
contains various restrictions customary in such financial arrangements,
including limitations on the payment of cash dividends.

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 twelve months.

Item 3 Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk

      The Company's principal financial instrument is long-term notes payable
under a secured revolving credit agreement. The Company is affected by market
risk exposure primarily through the effect of changes in interest rates on
amounts payable by the Company under this credit agreement. Changes in these
factors cause fluctuations in the Company's net income and cash flows. The
Company does not utilize derivative financial instruments to hedge against
changes in interest rates or for any other purpose.
