NOTE 3. NET EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of shares
outstanding during each quarter and income available to common shareholders.
Earnings per share assuming dilution are based on the assumption that
outstanding stock options were exercised. The weighted average shares for
computing basic earnings per share were 17,489,812 and 16,610,798 for the three
months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively, and 17,299,794 and
15,767,220 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
The weighted average shares for computing dilution were 18,333,578 for the three
months ended September 30, 1999 and 17,351,985


                                       4
<PAGE>   7
for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. Options to purchase 1,262,066 and
472,500 shares of common stock at or above $.56 and $.88 a share for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively, were not
included in the computation of diluted EPS as the options' exercise price was
greater than the average market price of the common shares.

Because of the net loss for the three months ended September 30, 1998 and nine
months ended September 30, 1999, common stock equivalent shares were not
included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share as their inclusion
would be anti-dilutive.

NOTE 4. EQUITY TRANSACTIONS

From January 1, 1999 through September 30, 1999, the Company has issued 625,000
shares of the Company's common stock at $0.25 per share or $156,250 through a
subscription agreement. The Company received a promissory note in the principal
amount of $140,625, which calls for monthly payment of $15,625 commencing April
1999.

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION OR PLAN OF
        OPERATION

        The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with
the financial statements, including the notes thereto, appearing in this Form
10-QSB and in the Company's 1998 annual report on Form 10-KSB.

        Except for the historical information contained herein, the matters
discussed in this quarterly report contain forward-looking statements that are
based on Management's beliefs and assumptions, current expectations, estimates,
and projections. Statements that are not historical facts, including without
limitation, statements which are preceded by, followed by or include the words
"believes", "anticipates," "plans," "expects," "may," "should," or similar
expressions, are forward-looking statements. Many of the factors that will
determine the Company's future results are beyond the ability of the Company to
control or predict. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties and,
therefore, actual results may differ materially. The Company disclaims any
obligation to update any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new
information, future events or otherwise.

        Important factors that may affect future results include, but are not
limited to: the impact of competitive products and pricing, product development,
changes in law and regulations, customer demand, litigation, availability of
future financing and uncertainty of market acceptance of new products. A more
detailed discussion of these factors is presented in the Company's 1998 annual
report on Form 10-KSB under the heading "Outlook - Issues and Uncertainties."

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 AND THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998

        Net Revenues: Net revenues include product sales and royalty revenue.
Net revenues increased 112% or $1,828,023 to $3,460,522 for the three months
ended September 30, 1999 from net revenues of $1,632,499 for the three months
ended September 30,1998. The increase primarily resulted from product sales
incorporating CDT (TM) Controlled Delivery Technology for MET-Rx USA,
LIVE-BAC(R) caplets for national brands, and private label manufacturing of
non-proprietary products for MET-Rx. The Company expects sales of CDT sports
supplements to materially decline in the fourth quarter due to the time required
to establish store placement, detail sales personnel and initiate promotions. As
a result, the Company does not expect to sustain sales growth during the fourth
quarter and may experience declining revenues until initial inventories of CDT
sports supplements are sold and reorders are received. Comparisons of the
quarter ended September 30, 1999 to quarter ended September 30, 1998 should take
into account that net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 1999
reflect negligible royalties as compared to $171,168 in royalties for the
comparable three months ended September 30, 1998 due to termination of the
guaranteed royalties on the exclusive license of Calcium D-Glucarate(TM) to
Weider Nutrition. Products sales for the three months ended September 30, 1999
increased 135% or $1,977,847 to $3,439,178 compared to total product sales of
$1,461,331 for the comparable period in 1998. Cobactin(R) sales were lower due
to a Product Marketing and Manufacturing Agreement with Biotal, Inc. effective
September 1, 1999. Per the agreement, Biotal, Inc. is the exclusive distributor
of Cobactin(R) microbial feed additive products for feedlot cattle. Biotal will
purchase Cobactin(R) from Nutraceutix at master distributor pricing. Under the
terms of the Agreement, Biotal assumes all marketing and sales expense related
to Cobactin(R) microbial feed additive for feedlot cattle. Nutraceutix will also
manufacture Biotal's own private label microbial feed additive, MICRO-CELL(R).
Although the agreement results in a slight decrease in net revenues from
Cobactin sales, the net financial effect of is not substantial for the quarter
ending September 30, 1999.

*CDT(TM), MDT(TM), LIVE-BAC(R), D-Glucarate(TM)

        Gross Profit: Gross Profit is calculated as net revenues (product sales
plus royalties) minus cost of revenues which includes such things as materials,
manufacturing costs, overhead, and quality control/quality assurance costs.
Gross profit increased 52% or $333,088 to $978,459 for the three months ended
September 30, 1999 from $645,371 for the three months ended September 30, 1998.
The gross profit from product sales, not including royalties, increased 102% or
$482,911 to $957,115 from $474,204 for the comparable period in 1998. The gross
profit from product sales in the first nine months of 1999 continued to be
negatively impacted by scale-up costs associated with first production of
CDT(TM) Controlled Delivery Technology products which are not representative of
on-going production expenses. Furthermore, as a result of changes in product
sales mix and other factors, the Company experiences fluctuations in gross
profit and operations margins on a quarter-to-quarter basis.

        Selling and Marketing Expenses: Selling and marketing expenses consist
primarily of cost of sales presentations, advertising and promotion,
commissions, travel related expenses and payroll. Selling and marketing expenses
decreased 14% or $35,223 to $207,789 for the three months ended September 30,
1999 from $243,012 for the three months ended September 30, 1998. The decrease
results from the Product and Manufacturing Marketing Agreement with Biotal, Inc.
effective September 1, 1999. Under this Agreement, sales and marketing expenses
related to Cobactin microbial feed additive sales to feedlots are paid by
Biotal, Inc.

        Research and Development Expenses: Research and development expenses
decreased 11% or $6,749 to $56,143 for the three months ended September 30, 1999
from $62,892 for the three months ended September 30, 1998. The decrease results
from lower outside research costs associated with Calcium D-glucarate. Research
and development expenses are expected to average approximately 2-4% of net
revenues for the remainder of 1999.

        General and Administrative Expenses: General and administrative expenses
consist primarily of personnel costs related to general management functions,
finance, accounting, depreciation and amortization, and professional fees
related to legal, audit and tax. General and administrative expenses increased
28% or $88,851 to $405,937 for the three months ended September 30, 1999 from
$317,086 for the three months ended September 30, 1998. The increase is
primarily due to salaries, professional fees, insurance and other expenses that
support the Company's growth.


                                       7


<PAGE>   10
        Interest Expense: Interest expense increased 148% or $46,365 to $77,718
for the three months ended September 30, 1999 from $31,353 for the three months
ended September 30, 1998. The increase in interest expense is due to the
manufacturing equipment leases for the Colorado private label manufacturing
facility. As a result, interest expense will remain at an increased level during
1999.

        Net Earnings: The Company realized net profit in the three months ended
September 30, 1999 of $244,900 compared to a net loss of $11,544 for the three
months ended September 30, 1998. The change in net earnings is attributable to
the increase in proprietary product and private label manufacturing sales. The
Company does not expect to realize a profit in the fourth quarter due to the
expected decline in sales of CDT sports supplement products (as discussed under
Net Revenues, above), and the impact of planned investment in new production
facilities.

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998

        Net Revenues: Net revenues include product sales and royalty revenue.
Net revenues increased 66% or $3,093,096 to $7,782,963 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999 from $4,689,867 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998.
The increase in net revenues resulted from increased sales of proprietary
products and private label manufacturing. Product sales for the nine months
ended September 30, 1999 increased 80% or $3,442,365 to $7,761,065 compared to
product sales of $4,318,700 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998.

        Gross Profit: Gross profit increased 20% or $370,481 to $2,259,669 for
the nine months ended September 30, 1999 from $1,889,188 for the nine months
ended September 30, 1998. The net revenues for 1998 used in calculating gross
profit included $371,167 of royalties that had no cost allocation while 1999 net
revenues resulted from product sales with cost allocations and negligible
royalties. Gross profit from product sales, not including royalties, increased
47% or $719,750 to $2,237,771 compared to $1,518,021 for 1998. Gross profit from
product sales for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 were negatively
impacted by the one time costs associated with the scale-up of new products in
the quarter ended March 30, 1999.

        Selling and Marketing Expenses: Selling and marketing expenses consist
primarily of costs of sales presentations, advertising and promotion, and
related payroll expenses and commissions. Selling and marketing expenses
increased 4% or $21,557 to $630,031 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999
from $608,474 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. This modest increase
is not reflective of increased health supplement marketing and sales activities
during the quarter ended September 30, 1999. These expenses were offset by
reduced marketing and sales expenses associated with the sales of Cobactin
microbial feed additive by Biotal, Inc.

        Research and Development Expenses: Research and development expenses
increased 56% or $80,707 to $224,035 for the nine months ended September 30,
1999 from $143,328 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 due to the
further development of the Company's licensed technologies. Research and
development expenses are expected to average approximately 2-4% of net revenues
for the remainder of 1999.

        General and Administrative Expenses: General and administrative expenses
consist primarily of personnel costs related to general management functions,
finance, accounting and information systems, professional fees related to legal,
audit and tax matters. General and administrative expenses increased 32% or
$299,886 to $1,233,868 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 from
$933,982 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. This increase was
primarily attributable to building the infrastructure to support and manage the
Company's growth.

        Interest Expense: Interest expense increased 67% or $73,649 to $183,333
for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 from $109,684 for the nine months
ended September 30, 1998. The increase in interest expense is a result of new
manufacturing equipment leases for the Colorado private label manufacturing
facility.

        Net Earnings (Loss): The Company experienced a loss of $33,591 for the
nine months ended September 30, 1999 compared to net earnings of $94,148 for the
nine months ended September 30, 1998. The net loss for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999 continues to reflect the net loss of $322,659 for the three
months ended March 31, 1999.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

        On June 10, 1999, the Company received a $400,000 increase in its
conventional bank line of credit with a maturity date of April 30, 2000. To date
the Company has financed its operations and capital requirements primarily
through borrowing, raising equity capital, and operations. As of September 30,
1999, the Company had working capital of $786,191 as compared to working capital
of $724,657 at September 30, 1998. The Company anticipates that its working
capital needs for the remainder of the year will be met from operations and
available borrowing capacity.

        One of the Company's business strategies is to pursue acquisition of
proprietary technologies that complement its existing products, expand its
distribution channels or are compatible with its business philosophy and
strategic goals. The Company regularly evaluates the potential technologies and
may hold discussions regarding such potential acquisitions of technologies. As a
general rule, the Company will publicly announce such acquisitions of
technologies only after a definitive agreement has been signed. Future
acquisitions of technologies and development of new products, if any, could be
financed by current cash on hand, bank borrowings, public offerings or private
placements of equity or debt securities, or a combination of the foregoing.
There can be no assurance that such additional financing will be available on
terms acceptable to the Company or at all. The failure to raise the funds
necessary to finance its future cash requirements or consummate future
acquisitions could adversely affect the Company's ability to pursue its strategy
and could negatively affect its operations in future periods.

YEAR 2000

        The Company has established a Year 2000 task force to assess and
remediate the impact of the Year 2000 on its internal computer systems,
products, customer base, service suppliers, financial institutions, original
equipment manufacturers and third party payees to identify the systems that
could be affected by the Year 2000 issue. The Year 2000 issues facing the
Company that may have a material impact on its ability to continue its business
practices as usual through the change of the century include: internal business
systems, internet and intranet service, telecommunications, power and the
compliance and readiness of the Company's third party suppliers, vendors and
customers.

        To date, the Company is not aware of any information which indicates
that the magnitude of potential Year 2000 problems is material. The Company has
replaced obsolete systems and updated the hardware, applications and data. The
decision by the Company to acquire new manufacturing equipment, computers and
accounting hardware and software, and the timing thereof, arose in the ordinary
course of the growth of the Company, and is not considered a cost associated
with the Year 2000 issue. The Company has performed acceptance testing to
determine that the updated applications are ready for Year 2000. To date, the
Company has experienced incremental costs associated with Year 2000 compliance.
The Company believes it will be able to correct any Year 2000 issues that may
arise without incurring material additional expense.

        In addition to its own compliance efforts, the Company has conducted an
assessment of the third parties with which it has material relationships to
determine if they are Year 2000 compliant. The Company has contacted its key
vendors and suppliers by the distribution of questionnaires. A majority of the
vendors and suppliers have responded to the questionnaire with assurance that
they will be Year 2000 compliant. The Company has identified alternative vendors
and suppliers of raw materials.

        Prior to the start of the Company's Year 2000 project, a new accounting
package was implemented to provide for the financial needs of the Company. This
software has been warranted by the vendor to be Year 2000 compliant. The Company
has also replaced its phone and voicemail systems with new, Year 2000 compliant
systems to better provide for expanding communication needs.

        Despite the Company's efforts to date, a material Year 2000 problem
could result in an interruption in, or a failure of, certain normal business
activities or operations. If such failures occur, the Company's results of
operations, liquidity, and financial condition could be materially and adversely
affected and the Company may be required to incur unanticipated expenses to
remedy and problems not addressed by the Company's compliance efforts.
Additionally, if any of the Company's material suppliers or vendors are not
fully Year 2000 compliant, it is possible that a system failure or
miscalculations causing disruptions in the Company's operations or potential
problems with its products and services could result.
