                     NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                          SIX MONTHS ENDED MAY 31, 2000

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, 2000 and the results of operations
and statements of cash flows for the six months ended May 31, 2000 and 1999. The
balance sheet as of November 30, 1999 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, 1999. The results of operations and cash flows for the six months ended May
31, 2000 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.

3.       Inventories:

         Inventories, consisting principally of finished goods, at May 31, 2000
have been estimated using the gross profit method.

4.       Property, Plant and Equipment:

         Property, plant and equipment, at cost, consist of the following:

6.       Stockholders' Equity:

          The 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 have been excluded from the calculation as
the effect is antidilutive.

7.       Income Taxes:

         Effective December 17, 1999, the Company and its parent will file a
consolidated federal income tax return. The Company and its parent each report
current and deferred income tax expense (benefit) under an allocation method
that results in a profitable company recognizing a tax provision as if the
individual company filed a separate return and loss companies recognizing
benefits to the extent their losses contribute to reduce consolidated taxes. In
addition, during the six months ended May 31, 2000 the change in the valuation
allowance ($197,000) of the Company's deferred tax asset resulting from its
ability to file a consolidated return with the parent was recorded as a tax
benefit on the books of the Company.

         The consolidated current and deferred tax assets and liabilities are
recorded on the books of the parent, and the net tax-related balances due
to/from the parent are included in the intercompany balance. The tax-related
intercompany asset approximated $318,000 at May 31, 2000.

the six month period ended May 31, 2000 and May 31, 1999, respectively.

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

Forward-looking Statements

         This Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements within the
meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Statements made
that are not historical facts are forward-looking and, accordingly, involve
risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ
materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements. Although such
forward-looking statements have been based on reasonable assumptions, there is
no assurance that the expected results will be achieved. Some of the factors
that could cause actual results to differ materially include, but are not
limited to: the effects of regulatory decisions; changes in law and other
governmental actions and initiatives; uncertainties relating to global economic
conditions; market acceptance of competing products; the availability and cost
of raw materials, the Company's ability to successfully maintain or increase
market share in its core business while expanding its product base into other
markets; the strength of its distribution channels; and the Company's ability to
manage fixed and variable expense growth relative to revenue growth.

Results of Operations

         Net sales for the six and three month periods ended May 31, 2000
approximated $3,249,000 and $1,391,000, respectively, as compared to $4,020,000
and $2,272,000 in the corresponding periods. Gross profit on these sales
approximated $1,171,0000 (36% of sales) and $514,000 (37% of sales) for the six
and three month periods ended May 31, 2000 as compared to $1,667,000 (41% of
sales) and $910,000 (40% of sales) in the corresponding period. The decrease in
gross profit is attributable to decreases in average sale prices resulting from
increased competition in the Company's speciality items.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses approximated $1,558,000
(48% of sales) and $734,000 (53% of sales) for the six and three months ended
May 31, 2000 respectively, as compared to $1,961,000 (49% of sales) and
$1,024,000 (45% of sales) for the corresponding periods in 1999. The decrease is
primarily attributable to the consolidation of sales territories and increased
telemarketing efforts with a resulting decrease in sales force salaries and
expenses.

         The Company has recognized an income tax benefit of approximately
