         The following documents or portions thereof, as filed with the
Commission by the Company are incorporated herein by reference:

(1) Current Report on Form 8-K filed on March 10, 1999.

(2) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 1998.

(3) Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended February 28, 1999.

                          OUTSTANDING VOTING SECURITIES

         As of the April 15, 1999 (the "Record Date"), out of the 40,000,000
shares of Common Stock authorized there were 1,350,000 shares of Common Stock
issued and outstanding, and out of the 8,335,000 shares of the Preferred Stock
authorized all of such shares were issued and outstanding.

         Only holders of record of the Common Stock and Preferred Stock at the
close of business on the Record Date were entitled to participate in the written
consents of the Company's stockholders. Each share of Common Stock was entitled
to one vote and each share of Preferred Stock was entitled to one-tenth (1/10)
of a vote.

         The Delaware General Corporation Law ("DGCL") provides in substance
that unless the Company's certificate of incorporation provides otherwise,
stockholders' may take action without a meeting of stockholders and without
prior notice if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so
taken, is signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the
minimum number of votes that would be necessary to take such action at a meeting
at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present. Under the applicable
provisions of the DGCL, such action is effective when written consents from
holders of record of the minimum number of shares of common stock necessary to
authorize the action (here a majority of the voting shares of capital stock) are
executed and delivered to the Company within 60 days of the earliest dated
consent delivered in accordance with the DGCL.

         On the Record Date, PDK Labs, Inc. ("PDK") executed a written consent
in lieu of a meeting of stockholders of the Company (the "Written Consent")
approving the Purchase Agreement and authorizing the consummation of the
Transactions. PDK executed the Written Consent with respect to its beneficial
ownership of (i) 700,000 shares of Common Stock, and (ii) 8,335,000 shares of
Preferred Stock. The shares of the Company's capital stock voted by PDK
constituted as of the Record Date 70.2% of the Company's total voting stock
outstanding. In accordance with the DGCL, the Company received more than a
majority of the shares of voting stock approving the Purchase Agreement and
authorizing the consummation of the Transactions. As a result, the Company shall
take all actions necessary to consummate the Transactions.

Company and FB Acquisition, (ii) by either party in the event certain
representations, warranties or covenants have been breached or the Closing has
not occurred by June 30, 1999 or (iii) by FB Acquisition, in the event that
certain schedules referenced in the Purchase Agreement were not reasonably

Interests Of Certain Persons In The Sale Transaction

         In considering the foregoing, stockholders should be aware that PDK
Labs stands to indirectly benefit from the Transaction. Reginald Spinello, the
Company's President, and Karine Hollander, the Company's Chief Financial
Officer, are also the President and Chief Financial Officer, respectively, of
PDK Labs. In addition, a majority of the Board of Directors of PDK constitute a
majority of the Board of Directors of the Company. The proceeds from the
Transaction may be used to acquire or develop another business which may
directly or indirectly benefit PDK Labs. A new business pursued by the Company
may (like the Company's present business) engage PDK to provide certain services
to the Company, including supplying product, accounting and other administrative
and management services.

Regulatory Approvals

         No State or Federal regulatory approval is required in connection with
consummating the Transaction.

Accounting Treatment

         The Transaction will be accounted for as a sale of certain assets and a
transfer of certain liabilities. The sum of the consideration to be received by
the Company and the liabilities to be


                                      -7-
<PAGE>

assumed by the FB Acquisition will be materially more than the book value of the
assets. The Transaction will result in a taxable gain of approximately
$2,242,000. The Company intends to pay the proper state, federal and local taxes
incurred as a result of consummating the Transaction.

Certain Income Tax Consequences

         The Company expects to incur a gain for income tax purposes with
respect to the Transaction. The consummation of the Transaction will not result
in any direct federal or state income tax consequences to the stockholders of
the Company.

Effect Of The Sale Transaction On The Company's Stockholders

         If the Transaction is consummated, the stockholders of the Company will
retain their equity interest in the Company. Such sale will not result in any
issuance of any capital stock by the Company nor will it change the rights of
the Company's stockholders. Although the Company does not presently anticipate
paying any dividends, the net proceeds from consummating the Transaction may be
used for this purpose.

Use Of Proceeds Of The Sale Transaction

         The Company anticipates that the net proceeds from consummating the
Transaction will be approximately $5,925,000. The Company intends to use the
funds to pay ordinary operating expenses and to pursue acquiring a going concern
or developing a new business. Prior to their intended use, the Company will
invest available funds in U.S. Treasury and other short term obligations.

Reasons For The Transaction

         The Board of Directors believes that the Transaction is fair to and in
the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. Accordingly, the Board
of Directors has unanimously approved the Transaction.

         In reaching its conclusions, the Board of Directors considered, among
other things, the following material factors:

         (1) A range of alternative strategic options, including the sale of the
Company's stock or merging with another entity out of which options the
Transaction presented the best opportunity to the Company to enhance shareholder
value.

         (2) The relatively small number of potential acquirors, due in great
measure to the necessity of finding a purchaser that is experienced with selling
nutritional supplements to the health food store market, and the inability of
the Company to negotiate with any of such potential acquirors a definitive
agreement with terms more favorable than the Transaction.

                                      -8-

         (3) The proposed terms and structure of the Transaction and the terms
and conditions of the Purchase Agreement.

         (4) The ability to consummate the Transaction without restricting,
limiting or altering the rights of the stockholders of the Company.

         (5) The perceived motivation of Nutraceutical and their executives and
Nutraceutical's financial condition, which factors underscored the earnest
intent of Nutraceutical to consummate the Transaction and demonstrated the
Nutraceutical's financial ability to assume the obligations and liabilities
associated with the Company's business.

         (6) The recommendation of the Company's management to enter into the
Transaction.

         (7) The extensive experience of the Nutraceutical's management in
sourcing, marketing, distributing and selling nutritional supplements to the
health food store market.

         In light of these factors and the consideration to be received in
connection with the Transaction, the Board determined that the Transaction was
in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. The Board took into
account the fact that only a relatively small number of parties expressed
interest in acquiring the Assets. It was reasonably unlikely that the Company
would receive, in the foreseeable future, offers to engage in alternative
transactions on terms more favorable to the Company and its stockholders than
those offered by FB Acquisition.

         The pro forma balance sheet at February 28, 1999 reflects adjustments
which give effect to the sale of assets by the Company to FB Acquisition Corp.
under the proposed Asset Purchase Agreement. As consideration for the assets
sold, FB Acquisition Corp. has agreed to pay in cash (i) 3,700, (ii) the value
of purchased inventory up to a maximum of $1,500 and (iii) the net book value of
accounts receivable up to a maximum of $725. The purchase price is subject to
adjustment in the event that the proceeds actually received from collecting the
purchased accounts receivable differs for the amount of purchased accounts
receivable.

         Following the closing of this transaction, the Company shall be
restricted from engaging in its normal course of business. The pro forma
statement of earnings would reflect a discontinuance of operations and a gain on
the sale of assets of approximately $2,016, net of taxes of $651.
