                     NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                     ---------------------------------------
                          SIX MONTHS ENDED MAY 31, 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 May 31, 1998 and the results of operations and
statements of cash flows for the six months ended May 31, 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 six months ended May
31, 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 May 31, 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 May 31, 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 six and three months
ended May 31, 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:

                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                  ---------------------------------------------



     Net sales for the six and three month periods ended May 31, 1998
approximated $5,105,000 and $2,761,000 respectively, as compared to $6,028,000
and $3,250,000 in the corresponding periods. Gross profit on these sales
approximated $2,074,000 (41% of sales) and $1,106,000 (40% of sales) for the six
and three month periods ended May 31, 1998 as compared to $3,418,000 (57% of
sales) and $1,849,000 (57% of sales) in the corresponding period. 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 approximated $2,471,000 and
$1,260,000 for the six and three months ended May 31, 1998, respectively. As a
percentage of sales, these amounts represent 48% and 46% respectively, as
compared to 62% and 60% in the corresponding period. 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 risk and cost 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 $7,841,000 at May 31,

     The statement also reflects net cash used in financing activities of
($1,600,000), representing repayments on 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.
