                     NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                      THREE MONTHS ENDED FEBRUARY 29, 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 February 29, 2000 and the results of
operations and statements of cash flows for the three months ended February 29,
2000 and February 28, 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 three months ended February 29, 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 February 29,
2000 have been estimated using the gross profit method.

                     NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                      THREE MONTHS ENDED FEBRUARY 29, 2000

6.       Stockholders' Equity:

         The income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net
income (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.

         The Company's Board of Directors has authorized the Company to
repurchase up to $2,000,000 of its own Common Stock, par value .0001, in the
public market. The Company's management has been afforded the discretion to
purchase the shares at such time or times, and at such prices, as management
believes appropriate. As of February 29, 2000, the Company had authorization to
purchase an additional $447,000 worth of its own stock.

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 quarter ended February 29, 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 $252,000 at February 29, 2000.

8.       Major Customer

         Sales to a major customer approximated 10% of total sales for the three
month periods ended February 29, 2000 and February 28, 1999.

                     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 three month periods ended February 29, 2000 and
February 28, 1999, approximated $1,858,000 and $1,748,000, respectively. Gross
profit on these sales were approximately $657,000 (35% of sales) and $757,000
(43% of sales) for the three months ended February 29, 2000 and February 28,
1999, respectively. The decrease in gross profit is attributable to decreases in
average sales prices resulting from increased competition in the Company's
specialty items.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses were $824,000 (44% of
sales) and $937,000 (54% of sales) for the three month periods ended February
29, 2000 and February 28, 1999, respectively. 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
$252,000 for the three month period ended February 29, 2000. The benefit
reflects the potential utilization of certain tax benefits by the Company's
parent as a result of becoming eligible to file a consolidated tax return.

         The Company has satisfactorily implemented a plan to ensure that its
systems are compliant with the requirements to process transactions in the Year
2000. To date, the Company has not experienced any adverse effects related to
the Year 2000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         The Company had net working capital of $3,856,000 at February 29, 2000.

         The Company's statement of cash flows reflects cash provided by
operating activities of approximately $188,000 which reflects net earnings of
approximately $85,000, decreases in operating assets such as inventories
($615,000), due from parent ($227,000) and an adjustment for depreciation and
amortization ($97,000), offset by (i) increases in operating assets such as
accounts receivable ($434,000), prepaid and other current assets ($362,000), and
other assets ($22,000), and (ii) decreases in accounts payable and accrued
expenses ($18,000).

         Net cash used in investing activities approximated ($84,000), for the
purchase of treasury stock.

         The Company's Board of Directors has authorized the Company to
repurchase up to $2,000,000 of its own Common Stock, par value .0001, in the
public market. The Company's management has been afforded the discretion to
purchase the shares at such time, or times, and at such prices, as management
believes appropriate. During the three months ended February 29, 2000, the
Company acquired 19,198 shares of its common stock, at an average price of
$4.34.

         As of February 29, 2000, the Company had authorization to repurchase an
additional $447,000 worth of its own common stock.

         The Company expects to meet its cash requirement from operations and
current cash reserves.
