                     NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                     ---------------------------------------
                      THREE MONTHS ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 1998
                      ------------------------------------

1.       Basis of Presentation:
         ---------------------

         The interim unaudited condensed financial statements furnished reflect
all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present
fairly its financial position as of February 28, 1998 and the results of
operations and statements of cash flows for the three months ended February 28,
1998 and 1997. The balance sheet as of November 30, 1997 has been derived from
the audited balance sheet as of that date. This report should be read in
conjunction with the Company's annual report filed on Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ended November 30, 1997. The results of operations and cash flows for the
three months ended February 28, 1998 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. Investments in marketable
securities consist primarily of government-backed debt securities and are held
by high quality financial institutions, which mitigates the risk associated with
this concentration.

3.       Investment in Marketable Securities:
         ------------------------------------

         Investments in debt and equity securities are 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. Temporary
declines in the market value of any available-for-sale security below cost are
charged against stockholders' equity, meanwhile declines deemed other than
temporary are charged to earnings resulting in the establishment of a new cost
basis for the security.

4.       Inventories:
         ------------

         Inventories, consisting principally of finished goods, at February 28,
1998 have been estimated using the gross profit method.

6.       Long-Term Debt
         --------------

         The Company and its parent maintain credit facilities with a bank which
provide for borrowings under a revolving credit agreement (the "Revolving
Agreement") and a term loan (the "Term Agreement").

         The Revolving Agreement which extends through September 2000, provides
for aggregate borrowings of up to $15,000,000 with a sublimit of $4,000,000 for
the Company and $11,000,000 for the parent. Borrowings under the Revolving
Agreement bear interest at the bank's prime rate or the Eurodollar rate plus
1.75%, at the Company's option.


         The Term Agreement provides for aggregate borrowings of up to
$8,500,000 for the Company and its parent on a combined basis.

         The Company and its parent are jointly and severally liable for the
unpaid balance of the credit facilities. The agreement contains various
covenants pertaining to the maintenance of certain financial ratio restrictions,
limitations on dividends, and restrictions on borrowings.

         The prime rate at February 28, 1998 was 8 1/2%

7.       Stockholders' Equity:
         ---------------------

         The Company has adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
Statement No. 128, "Earnings Per Share." Loss per common share is computed by
dividing the net loss by the average number of common shares and common stock
equivalents outstanding during the period. Common stock equivalents are excluded
from the calculation as the effect is antidilutive. The loss per share was
retroactively restated to reflect FASB No. 128 for the three months ended
February 28, 1997.


8.       Income Taxes:
         -------------

         The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to the net
deferred income tax asset (liability) are comprised of the following:

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                     ---------------------------------------
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                  ---------------------------------------------

         Net sales for the three month periods ended February 28, 1998 and 1997
approximated $2,345,000 and $2,778,000, respectively. Gross profit on these
sales approximated $968,000 (41% of net sales) and $1,569,000 (56% of net sales)
for the three months ended February 28, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The
decrease in the gross profit percentage is attributable to changes being
implemented to the Company's price structure and a change in the mix of sales.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses were $1,211,000 (52% of
net sales) and $1,772,000 (64% of net sales) for the three month periods ended
February 28, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The decrease is primarily attributable
to a decrease in promotional costs associated with a marketing program which was
discontinued.

         The Company recognizes the need to ensure its operations will not be
adversely impacted by Year 2000 software failures. Software failures due to
processing errors potentially arising from calculations using the Year 2000 date
are a known risk. The Company is addressing this risk to the availability and
integrity of financial systems and the reliability of operational systems. The
Company has engaged computer consultants and is establishing processes for
evaluating and managing the risks and costs associated with this problem. In the
opinion of management, the costs of addressing this problem will not materially
affect the financial position of the Company.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

         The Company had net working capital of approximately $8,241,000 at
February 28, 1998.

         The Company's statement of cash flows reflects cash used in operating
activities of approximately $33,000, which reflects a net loss of approximately
($181,000), increases in accounts receivable ($51,000), inventories ($342,000),
prepaid expenses and other current assets ($104,000), other assets ($40,000),
and an adjustment for deferred income tax benefit ($86,000), offset by a
decrease in due to/from parent ($625,000), and an adjustment for depreciation
and amortization expense of ($158,000).

         Net cash provided by investing activities approximated $991,000
principally attributable to the sale and maturity of securities ($993,000), net
of acquisition of fixed assets ($2,000).

         The statement also reflects net cash used in financing activities of
($1,000,000), representing repayments of the revolving credit line.

         The Company and its parent maintain credit facilities with a bank which
provide for borrowings under a revolving credit agreement (the "Revolving
Agreement") and a term loan (the "Term Agreement").

         The Revolving Agreement which expires in September 2000 provides for
aggregate borrowings of up to $15,000,000 with a sublimit of $4,000,000 for the
Company and $11,000,000 for the parent. Borrowings under the Revolving Agreement
bear interest at the bank's prime rate or Eurodollar rate plus 1.75%, at the
Company's option.

         The Term Agreement provides for aggregate borrowings of up to
$8,500,000 for the Company and its parent on a combined basis.

         The Company and its parent are jointly and severally liable for the
unpaid balance of the credit facilities. Borrowings are secured by the assets of
the Company and its parent.

         The credit facilities contain various covenants pertaining to the
maintenance of certain financial ratio restrictions, limitations on dividends,
and restrictions on borrowings.

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