                          PDK LABS INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                        NINE MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2000

1.       Basis of Presentation:

         The interim condensed consolidated financial statements furnished
reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to
present a fair statement of the financial position, as of August 31, 2000 and
the results of operations and statements of cash flows for the nine month
periods ended August 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 nine month period ended August 31, 2000 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

2.       Principles of Consolidation:

         The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of PDK Labs Inc. ("PDK") and its subsidiary, Futurebiotics, Inc.
("Futurebiotics") (collectively the "Company"). All intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated.

3.       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, consist primarily of trade accounts receivable and investments in
marketable securities.

4.       Inventories:

         Inventories have been estimated by using the gross profit method for
the interim periods. The components of the inventories are as follows:

                                              August 31,      November 30,

5.       Stockholders' Equity:

         Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing the net
earnings after dividends on preferred shares by the weighted average number of
shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Treasury shares have been
excluded from the weighted average number of shares. The assumed conversion of
the preferred stock and the related reduction to the preferred stock was not
included in the computation as the effect was antidilutive. EPS on continuing
operations was calculated for the nine months ended August 31, 2000 and
August 31, 1999 as follows:

                                                                            Per

                          PDK LABS INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                        NINE MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2000
                                   (Continued)

         Preferred stockholders are entitled to cumulative annual dividends of
$.49 per share, payable at the election of the Company in cash, common stock, or
a combination thereof. Such dividends are payable semi-annually on or about
April 15 and October 15 of each year. Dividends earned for each of the nine
month periods ended August 31, 2000 and August 31, 1999 approximated $163,000
and $168,000, respectively.

6.       Income Taxes:

         Effective December 17, 1999, the Company and its subsidiary will file a
consolidated federal income tax return. The Company and its subsidiary 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 nine months ended August 31, 2000 the change in the
valuation allowance ($197,000) of the subsidiary's deferred tax asset resulting
from its ability to file a consolidated return with the Company was recorded as
a tax benefit on the books of the subsidiary.

         The consolidated current and deferred tax assets and liabilities are
recorded on the books of the Company, and the net tax-related balances due
to/from the subsidiary are included in the intercompany balance.

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 nine and three month periods ended August 31, 2000
approximated $36,282,000 and $12,206,000, respectively, as compared to
$39,628,000 and $13,804,000 in the corresponding period in 1999. Gross profit
amounted to $11,274,000 (31% of sales) and $4,142,000 (34% of sales) for the
nine and three month periods ended August 31, 2000 and $10,594,000 (27% of
sales) and $3,267,000 (26% of sales) for the corresponding period in 1999. The
increase in gross profit is principally attributable to price increases in the
Max Brand product line.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses were $9,123,000 (25% of
sales) and $3,513,000 (29% of sales) for the nine and three month periods ended

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

         The Company is party to supply agreements with Compare Generiks, Inc.,
("CGI"). Under the agreements which expire through 2001, the Company provides
CGI certain products at prices based upon the Company's material cost plus a
specified mark-up.

         In consideration for these agreements, CGI agreed to pay the Company an
annual license fee of $500,000, payable at the option of CGI, either in cash or
in shares of CGI stock. Total sales to CGI approximated $18,497,000 and
$22,865,000 for the nine month periods ended August 31, 2000 and 1999
respectively.

         Interest expenses, was approximately $179,000 and $54,000 for the nine
and three month periods ended August 31, 2000 compared to $314,000 and $76,000
in the corresponding periods in the prior year. The decrease is due to the
Company maintaining lower debt balances.

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

        The Company had working capital of approximately $25,079,000 at
August 31, 2000.

        The Company's statement of cash flows reflects cash provided by
operating activities of approximately $5,117,000 which reflects net earnings of
$1,420,000, decreases in operating assets such as accounts receivable
($959,000), inventories ($5,930,000), and an adjustment for depreciation and
amortization ($1,816,000), offset by (i) increases in operating assets such as
prepaid expenses and other current assets ($1,178,000), and (ii) decreases in
accounts payable and accrued expenses ($2,097,000), and income taxes payable

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. - Legal Proceedings

         On or about July 24, 2000, the Company was served with a Class Action
Complaint in a litigation entitled Holt v. PDK Labs Inc., et al., that was filed
in the Supreme Court of the State of New York. The Complaint arises out of the
previously announced proposal by PDK Acquisition Corp. ("Acquisition") to merge
with and into the Company (the "Proposal"). The plaintiff, who purports to be a
holder of the Company's common stock and to represent all holders of the
Company's common and preferred stock, alleges, among other things, that the
consideration offered by Acquisition for the Company's common and preferred
stock is "inadequate." The Complaint does not challenge the adequacy of any of
the Company's or Acquisition's disclosures in connection with the Proposal; it
seeks injunctive relief and damages in an unspecified amount. The Company and
all other defendants have answered the Complaint and denied all substantive
allegations. The Company believes that the lawsuit is without merit and intends
to vigorously defend against the claims asserted therein.

         On or about October 4, 2000, the Company, Acquisition, and various
individuals, including the Management Group, were served with a Class Action
Complaint in a litigation entitled Krape v. PDK Labs Inc., et al., that was
filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York.
This Complaint challenges the adequacy of the disclosure in the proxy materials
disseminated in connection with the Proposal. Specifically, the plaintiff, an
alleged holder of 8.9% of the Company's outstanding common stock, who purports
to represent all holders of the Company's common stock, principally alleges that
the Company and Acquisition failed to disclose: (1) the fact that this plaintiff
has asserted so-called "derivative" claims on behalf of the Company in two
separate lawsuits; (2) the possibility that the derivative claims might be
terminated if the merger is consummated; and (3) the possibility that the
Company's shareholders might somehow suffer losses, and/or the Management Group
might benefit, if the derivative actions are terminated. Based on these
allegations, the plaintiff has requested damages and has filed a motion seeking
to enjoin the shareholder vote on the merger, which is scheduled for November 8,
2000.

         The Company believes that the new Krape lawsuit is without merit and
intends to vigorously defend against the claims and the motion for an
injunction. Plaintiff's initial premise is false because the derivative actions
are disclosed in the relevant materials disseminated to shareholders. Those
derivative actions sought damages on behalf of - not from - PDK, and/or the
cancellation of a significant number of shares issued by the Company to certain
officers and consultants in past years. The Company has previously pointed out
that the Supreme Court of the State of New York already has dismissed
plaintiff's derivative claims as legally insufficient. A federal court currently
is considering a similar motion to dismiss.

         Based upon its own analysis, as confirmed by the New York Supreme Court
and a special committee of the board of directors and its independent counsel,
the Company believes that the derivative claims are completely without legal or
factual merit and were asserted years too late. In particular, the Company
believes that there is no merit to Krape's allegation that stock compensation
was awarded to various employees and consultants, including members of the
Management Group, for "no consideration." In fact, services were exchanged for
the compensation.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. - Legal Proceedings - (cont'd)

         The Company believes that its prior disclosures satisfy all legal
requirements. The Company further believes that, if the merger is consummated,
Krape will lose his ability to prosecute derivative claims and that the
remaining derivative action will be terminated as a matter of law.

         To the extent that the derivative actions are terminated, the
individuals sued in those actions, including the Management Group and principals
of Acquisition, will, or course, no longer face the possibility, no matter how
remote of exposure on the claims. Nevertheless, for the reasons previously
stated the company believes that the dismissal of the derivative actions is at
best of marginal benefit to the individual defendants in that action, including
members of the Management Group, principally because of the meritless nature of
the claims therein. Nor does the Company believe that any shareholder will
suffer a loss as a result of the likely ultimate dismissal of the derivative
claims. The Company has pointed out in pleadings filed with the federal court
that even Krape's own counsel had proposed to resolve all of Krape's disputes
with the Company in a fashion that would have ascribed no value whatsoever to
the derivative claims. Moreover, inasmuch as the action seeks to cancel the
shares held by Acquisition and/or its principals and those persons are not
receiving any consideration in the merger, the Company's shareholders would not
receive any additional consideration if these shares are cancelled. Put
differently, the outcome of the derivative claims will not effect the $5 price
that has been offered for the shares owned by holders outside of the Management
Group.

         Reference is made to Item 3 in the Company's Form 10-K for the year
ended November 30, 1999.
