                              FUTUREBIOTICS, INC.
                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                       NINE MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 1996


1.       Basis of Presentation:

         The interim financial statements furnished reflect all adjustments
which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement
of the financial position and results of operations for the nine and three
month periods ended August 31, 1996 and August 31, 1995. The financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the summary of significant
accounting policies and notes to financial statements included in the Company's
Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended November 30, 1995. The results of
operations for the nine month periods ended August 31, 1996 and 1995 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

2.       Concentration of Credit Risk:

         Financial instruments which potentially expose the Company to
concentrations of credit risk, as defined by Statement of Accounting Standards
No. 105, include trade accounts receivable. Wholesale distributors of
nutritional supplements account for a substantial portion of trade receivables.
The risk associated with this concentration is limited due to the large number
of distributors and their geographic dispersion. Financial instruments also
include U.S. treasury notes and other government backed securities.

3.       Investment in Marketable Securities:

         The Company has adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
Statement No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities." FASB No. 115 requires that investments in debt and equity
securities be designated as trading, held-to-maturity, or available for sale.
Management considers the Company's marketable securities, consisting
principally of government and government-backed debt securities, to be
available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are reported at amounts which
approximate fair value.

4.       Inventories:

         Inventories, consisting principally of finished goods, at August 31,
1996 have been estimated using the gross profit method.

5.       Intangible Assets:

         The Company has implemented a marketing program with select retail
stores and distributors in order to obtain premium shelf space. Contracts with
retailers are for a fixed period of not less than one year. Costs associated
with these contracts are being charged to operations ratably over the lives of
the agreements.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                       NINE MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 1996
                                  (Continued)


6.       Revolving Credit Agreement:

         The Company has a secured revolving credit agreement with a bank. All
borrowings bear interest at the bank's prime rate (8.25% at August 31, 1996) or
2% above the Eurodollar rate (at the Company's option) and are collateralized
by the Company's assets.

         In September 1996, the Company and its parent entered into a new
revolving credit agreement ("New Agreement") with a bank whereby the Company
may borrow up to $4,000,000. The New Agreement replaces the existing revolving
credit agreement and expires in September 1999. Borrowings under the new
agreement bear interest at the bank's prime rate or 2% above the Eurodollar
rate (at the Company's option), are collateralized by all of the Company's
assets and require, among other things, the maintenance of minimum tangible net
worth and limitations on additional borrowings.

7.       Stockholders' Equity:

         a.   (Loss) Earnings per share

              Earnings per share were computed by dividing net (loss) earnings
by the weighted average number of common shares and equivalents outstanding.

         b.   Reverse stock split:

              In May 1996, the Board of Directors approved a one for ten
Reverse Stock Split of the Company's common stock. The Reverse Stock Split is
subject to the approval of the Company's shareholders.

8.       Income Taxes:

         The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to the
deferred tax asset at August 31, 1996 are as follows:

                                                    Net Deferred
                                                Income Tax Liability

9.       Commitments:

         Pursuant to employment agreements entered into with certain key
employees in December 1995, the Company has granted options to purchase 50,000
shares of the Company's common stock at any time commencing two years from the
date of the agreements, at an exercise price of $1.00 per share.

         The Company's aggregate commitment under such agreements which expire
in December 1997 is approximately $280,000.

                              FUTUREBIOTICS, INC.
                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


         Net sales for the nine and three month periods ended August 31, 1996
approximated $9,449,000 and $3,101,000, respectively, representing increases of
20% and 21% over the corresponding periods in 1995. The increase is principally
attributable to continued expansion of advertising and marketing efforts.

         Gross profit for the nine and three month periods ended August 31,
1996 amounted to approximately $5,093,000 (54% of sales) and $1,537,000 (50% of
sales) respectively as compared to $4,009,000 (51% of sales) and $1,408,000
(55% of sales) in the corresponding periods in the prior year. The increase in
gross profit in the nine month period ended August 31, 1996 is attributable to
the mix of sales as well as the re-order of products at higher prices under the
preferred retailer program implemented in the prior year. The decrease in gross
profit in the three month period ended August 31, 1996 is principally
attributable to the introduction of new products at competitive prices.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses approximated $5,180,000
and $1,857,000 for the nine and three month periods ended August 31, 1996,
respectively. As a percentage of sales, these amounts represent 55% and 60%
respectively, as compared to 46% and 53% in the corresponding periods in the
prior year. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses is
principally attributable to promotional costs incurred in connection with an
aggressive sales program designed to obtain shelf space at selected retailers
for a contract period of not less than one year. The cost of this promotion is
being charged to operations on a straight line basis which is not necessarily
proportional to sales generated under the program. As of May 31, 1996, the
Company ceased signing on any new customers under this program.


         The Company realized approximately $135,000 in expenses related to the
relocation of its sales offices from Vermont to New York.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

         The Company had net working capital of approximately $6,702,000 at
August 31, 1996.

         The Company's statement of cash flows reflects cash provided by
operating activities of approximately $414,000 which reflects increases in
operating assets and payables such as inventories ($2,273,000) and prepaid
expenses and other current assets ($616,000) offset by an increase in amounts
due to parent ($2,256,000) and an adjustment for amortization expense
($1,047,000). In addition, the statement reflects cash used in investing
activities of approximately ($347,000) principally attributable to the maturity
of government securities ($1,615,000) net of acquisition of fixed assets and
intangibles of approximately ($1,962,000).

                                  (Continued)


         The cash flow statement also reflects cash of $1,250,000 provided by
financing activities resulting from borrowings under a secured revolving credit
agreement with a bank.

         In September 1996, the Company and its parent entered into a Revolving
Credit Agreement with a bank whereby the Company may borrow up to $4,000,000.
The agreement replaces the existing credit facility and expires in September
1999.

         The Company expects to meet its cash requirements from operations,
current cash reserves, and its existing financial arrangements.
