Note 1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
reflect the results of operations for Irwin Naturals/4 Health, Inc., and its
wholly owned subsidiary, HealthZone.com and have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included.  Operating results for the three-month
period ended March 31, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results
that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 1999.  For further
information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included
in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998.

Note 2.   RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities" (SFAS No. 133). SFAS No. 133 established
accounting and reporting standards requiring that every derivative financial
instrument (including certain derivative instruments embedded in other
contracts) be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability
measured at its fair value. The company will be required to adopt SFAS No.
133 no later than January 1, 2001. The Company had not entered into any
derivative financial instruments as of March 31, 1999. As a result, adoption
of SFAS No. 133 would currently have no impact on the Company. In the future,
if the Company were to enter into derivative financial instruments that are
covered by SFAS No. 133, volatility in earnings and other comprehensive
income could be increased.

Note 3.   ACQUISITIONS

HEALTH & VITAMIN EXPRESS INC. On February 15, 1999, the Company acquired
Health & Vitamin Express, Inc. (HVE). The purchase consideration consisted of
the issuance of 363,636 shares of the Company's common stock valued at
$2,273,000 ($6.25 per share) and the assumption of $571,000 of debt. The
Company has accounted for the acquisition as a purchase, and the excess
purchase price of $2,880,000 over the fair value of net assets acquired has
been allocated to goodwill and is being amortized over 15 years. HVE has been
merged into the Company's newly formed subsidiary, HealthZone.com (HZ).

In addition to the 363,636 shares issued upon acquisition, the Company may
contingently issue to the former shareholders of HVE (i) up to 272,727
shares of the Company's common stock based upon certain revenue thresholds
during first 42 months subsequent to February 15, 1999 (the "Revenue"
shares), and (ii) up to 90,909 shares of the Company's common stock based
upon certain profit thresholds during the first seven years subsequent to
February 15, 1999 (the "Profit" shares).  The  Company  has the right to
repurchase up to 65% of the shares issued for a period of one (1) year
following the date of issuance at a purchase price of $13.75 per share (the
"Repurchase Price"). The repurchase price may be adjusted if upon repurchase
the closing bid price of the Company's common stock as quoted on the Nasdaq
National Market System exceeds $20 per share (the "Market Price"), the
Company will pay to the sellers 50% of the difference between the Market
Price and $20 per share.  Furthermore, in the event Revenue and Profit shares
are issued because of a funding failure, the repurchase price shall be
reduced to $9.63 per share.  The Company has granted to the Sellers certain
"demand registration rights" and "piggyback registration rights" on these
shares, if issued, in the event the Company undertakes a sale of its
securities to the public.

In addition, the Company is obligated to invest or contribute to HZ operations
a minimum of (A) $4,000,000 during the 18 months subsequent to February 15, 1999
and (B) $10,000,000 (inclusive of the $4,000,000 provided in clause (A) above)
during the 36 months subsequent to February 15, 1999.  If the Company fails to
make the investments or contributions defined above, the Sellers of HVE will
automatically receive the maximum allowable shares subject to issuance under the
provisions of the Revenue and Profit Shares. The Company is currently prohibited
by its existing credit facility of making such investments or contributions
(Note 5).

On April 19, 1999 the Company and Klee Irwin, the Company's former Chief
Executive Officer, entered into an agreement whereby Mr. Irwin agreed to: i)
assume all of the Company's obligations to issue the Revenue and Profit
shares, and ii) reimburse and indemnify the Company for any losses, costs and
expenses incurred by HVE and in connection with the establishment of the
Healthzone.com subsidiary, from 1,600,000 shares of Company common stock he
currently owns.

The following unaudited proforma information sets forth the Company's
consolidated revenues, net income (loss) and net earnings (loss) per share
for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 after giving pro forma
effect to the February 15, 1999 acquisition of Health & Vitamin Express, Inc.
had the acquisition been effected at the beginning of each period presented.
The pro forma financial information does not necessarily reflect the
operating results that would have occurred had the acquisition been
consummated as of the above dates, nor is such information indicative of
future operating results.

INHOLTRA ACQUISITION
On March 10, 1999, the Company purchased for $13,250,000 certain assets and
liabilities of Inholtra Investment Holdings and Trading, N.V., Inholtra,
Inc.,and Inholtra Natural, Ltd. (collectively the Sellers). The purchase
price consisted of the payment of $3,250,000 in cash at closing, and the
issuance of a $10,000,000 90 day promissory note secured by the acquired
assets. The Company has accounted for the acquisition as a purchase. The
purchase price has been allocated to the patents and trademarks associated
with the Inholtra product, and is being amortized over a fifteen-year period.

The following unaudited pro forma information sets forth the Company's
consolidated revenues, net income and net earnings per share for the three

The promissory note bears interest at an annual rate of 8 percent per annum, and
is due in full on June 10, 1999. The Company is currently seeking to raise
additional financing to enable it to repay the $10,000,000 promissory note.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to secure additional
financing at terms acceptable to the Company, if at all. If the Company is
unable to repay the $10,000,000 promissory note, the Company may lose the
acquired assets and a portion or all of the $3,250,000 initial investment.  In
connection with this acquisition, the Company entered into a consulting
agreement with a former employee of the Sellers. The two-year agreement requires
annual consulting fees of $60,000.

Note 4.   BUILDING HELD FOR SALE

On March 25, 1999, the Company completed the sale of its former 4Health,Inc.
corporate facility located in Boulder Colorado (the "Property").  The purchase
price for the Property was $2,350,000, which consisted of (i) cash consideration
of $600,000 that was paid at closing, (ii) assumption of a $1,300,000 exiting
first mortgage loan on the Property made by the buyer, and (iii) the receipt of
a $458,000 promissory note secured by a second trust deed in the Property.  The
note receivable is to be paid in monthly installments of $3,687, including
principal and interest at a rate of 7 1/2% per annum, until March 1, 2002 when
the note is payable in full. The Company's results of operations for the first
quarter of 1999 include a gain of $481,000 that resulted from the sale of this
Property.

Note 5.   LINE OF CREDIT

As of December 31, 1998, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $1,000,000
under a revolving line of credit with a bank. In February 1999, the
outstanding balance was paid in full and the line was closed. On February 1,
1999, the Company obtained a new line of credit with a different bank. The
line of credit agreement was subsequently amended in March 1999, and then
again on May 9, 1999. Maximum borrowings under the amended line of credit are
limited to $5,000,000 based on eligible accounts receivable and inventories.
Borrowings under the line are secured by Company assets, and are also
personally guaranteed by the Company's former Chief Executive Officer up to
$2.5 million. Borrowings under the line bear interest at an annual rate of
either prime plus .25 percent or LIBOR plus 2.0 percent. The amended line of
credit expires on June 30, 1999.  As of March 31, 1999, the maximum available
under the borrowing limitations at that date was $4,474,000, of which
$4,088,184 had been borrowed.

The line of credit agreement contains certain financial and other covenants or
restrictions, including the maintenance of certain financial ratios and minimum
tangible net worth, limitations on capital expenditures, restrictions on
acquisitions, limitations on the incurrence of indebtedness and restrictions on
dividends paid by the Company. The acquisitions by the Company of HVE and
Inholtra (Note 3) and the assumption of certain liabilities in connection with
these acquisitions violated certain covenants under the Bank credit line. The
Company requested and received a waiver from the Bank related to certain,
but not all, covenant violations. Although the HVE acquisition did not
require bank funding (since the consideration was paid in Company stock), the
Inholtra acquisition required cash funding at closing under the credit line of
$3.25 million. This funding, combined with the required June 10, 1999 payment
of an additional $10.0 million would exceed the Company's collateral based
credit facility. As a result, the Bank has informed the Company that it does
not intend to extend the maturity date of the loan beyond June 30, 1999.

The Company was not in compliance with certain other covenants under its Bank
credit line as of March 31, 1999, and expects to be out of compliance until
the Company obtains an equity infusion, extinguishes or refinances certain
outstanding debt or further modifies the covenants.

On June 4, 1999, the Company executed a formal commitment letter with a
lending institution that will provide up to twenty million dollars of
financing to the Company. The facility will consist of a $13 million term
loan and a $7 million revolving line of credit subject to borrowing base
availability and compliance with certain financial and other covenants and
agreements. The facility will be secured by substantially all the assets of
the Company. The facility is expected to be finalized by June 10, 1999,
however such financing is subject to final negotiation, document preparation,
approvals and the completion of due-diligence by the lender, and there is no
assurance that this facility will be put in place by such date, or if at all.
The inability to obtain such financing could have a material adverse effect
on the Company's business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Note 6.   EARNINGS PER SHARE

Earnings per share calculations are in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 128 ("SFAS 128"), "Earnings Per Share." Basic EPS
excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common
shareholders by the weighted-average number of common stock shares
outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution from
outstanding stock warrants and options.

          AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations

COMPARISON OF FIRST QUARTER 1999 TO 1998

     Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 1999, decreased by $825
thousand to $7.921 million from $8.746 million for the same quarterly period
a year ago.  These results included a reduction of $852 thousand of a single
opportunistic product launched in 1998 that enjoyed strong first quarter
sales in 1998.  During the first quarter of 1999, sales of this product have
stabilized at a lower level.  In addition, International Sales decreased by
$371 thousand primarily due to the relatively stagnant economic climate in
the Far East and Russia.  Most other sectors remained relatively stable.

     Gross profits decreased by $963 thousand, or 18.8%, to $4.144 million
during the first quarter of 1999, down from $5.107 million for the same
quarter of 1998.  $547 thousand of this decrease was attributable to single
product previously described as a significant contributor to decreased sales.
The balance of the decrease was primarily related to lower sales levels in
the International division. Gross profit expressed as a percentage of net
sales decreased to 52.3% for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 from 58.4% in
the same period a year ago.  The decrease was primarily attributable to Sales
Mix, Pricing concessions offered during the first quarter of 1999 in
conjunction with the launch and early stage sales of several new products,
and lower than normal margins experienced on sales through HZ.

     Total operating expenses for the quarter ending March 31, 1999 increased
$1.243 million, or 36%, to $4.74 million from $3.5 million for the same
quarter in 1998.  In addition, operating expenses expressed as a percentage
of net sales increased to 59.8% for the first quarter of 1999 an increase
from 40.0% experienced in the same quarter one year ago.  Sales and Marketing
expenses decreased by $76 thousand to $1.556 million during the first quarter
of 1999 from $1.632 million for the same period one year earlier reflecting
the elimination of redundant sales and marketing labor related costs in the
newly combined organization. Included in the first quarter 1999 sales and
marketing expenses was a non-recurring Co-op Advertising charge of $150
thousand, and HZ related sales and marketing of $50 thousand.  General and
Administrative expenses increased by $1.32 million to $3.184 million during
the three months ended March 31, 1999 when compared to $1.865 million for the
comparable period one year ago.  $815 thousand of this increase was
attributable to reserves established for accounts receivable.  An additional
$56 thousand of the increase was relative to amortization on the assets
associated with the Inholtra and HVE acquisitions.  Other expense increases
included one-time legal expenses of $74 thousand during the first quarter of
1999 coupled with excess insurance and property tax expenses of $65 thousand
associated with redundant facilities that will be eliminated in future
periods.  The remainder of the difference was a result of excess consulting,
temporary, audit, and professional fees amounting to $160 thousand associated
with improving infrastructure and with acquisition integration, plus $161
thousand of expenses associated with the HZ operation.

     Other Income for the period ending March 31, 1999 included $481 thousand
related to a one-time gain on the sale of the former 4Health corporate
headquarters building located in Boulder, Colorado.

     Interest expense increased to $75 thousand in the first quarter 1999
from $4 thousand during the  first quarter of 1998.  This increase is
consistent with the increase in the utilization of the Company's line of
credit in 1999.

     The Company reported a net loss before taxes of  $185 thousand, or
$0.01 per share, for the three months ended March 31, 1999 compared to net
income of $1.64 million, or $0.06 per share, for the three months ended March
31, 1998.  These results include ($206 thousand) net loss for the quarter
ended March 31, 1999 for HZ.

     No provision for income taxes was recorded for the three months ended
March 31, 1999, as the loss as stated was offset by a combination of Net
Operating Loss Carryforwards and tax versus book timing differences.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the three months ended March 31, 1999, the Company experienced
negative cash flow from operations of $429,000, and utilized another
$2,977,000 for investing activities, of which $3,250,000 was used for an
acquisition.  To finance the above, the Company borrowed an additional
$3,088,000 under its existing credit facilities, issued $10,000,000 in a
note payable and 363,363 shares of the Company's common stock.

The company has available a line of credit with a bank that allows a maximum
borrowing to $5,000,000 based on eligible accounts receivable and
inventories. Borrowings under the line are secured by Company assets, and are
also personally guaranteed by the Company's former Chief Executive Officer up
to $2.5 million. Borrowings under the line bear interest at an annual rate of
either prime plus .25 percent or LIBOR plus 2.0 percent. The line of credit
expires on June 30, 1999. As of March 31, 1999, the maximum available under
the borrowing limitations at that date was $4,474,000, of which $4,088,184
had been borrowed.  The line of credit agreement contains certain financial
and other covenants or restrictions, including the maintenance of certain
financial ratios and minimum tangible net worth, limitations on capital
expenditures, restrictions on acquisitions, limitations on the incurrence of
indebtedness and restrictions on dividends paid by the Company. The
acquisitions by the Company of HVE and Inholtra (Note 3) and the assumption
of certain liabilities in connection with these acquisitions violated certain
covenants under the Bank credit line. The Company requested and received a
waiver from the Bank related to certain, but not all, covenant violations.
Although the HVE acquisition did not require bank funding (since the
consideration was paid in Company stock), the Inholtra acquisition required
cash funding at closing under the credit line of $3.25 million. This funding,
combined with the required June 10, 1999 payment of an additional $10.0
million would exceed the Company's collateral based credit facility. As a
result, the Bank has informed the Company that it does not intend to extend
the maturity date of the loan beyond June 30, 1999.

The Company is also indebted on a $10,000,000 promissory note incurred in
connection with the acquisition of certain assets and liabilities from Inholtra
that is due and payable in full on June 10, 1999.  In addition, the Company is
obligated to invest or contribute to its HVE operations $10,000,000 during the
36 months subsequent to February 15, 1999. The Company is currently prohibited
by its existing credit facility of making such investments or contributions. If
the Company fails to make the investments or contributions, the Company may be
obligated to issue up to 363,636 additional shares of the Company's common stock
to the seller.

Given the June 30, 1999 expiration date of the Company's credit facility, the
Company is in the process of seeking replacement financing. There can be no
assurances that such financing will be available on terms satisfactory to the
Company, if at all.

On June 4, 1999, the Company executed a formal commitment letter with a
lending institution that will provide up to twenty million dollars of
financing to the Company. The facility will consist of a $13 million term
loan and a $7 million revolving line of credit subject to borrowing base
availability and compliance with certain financial and other covenants and
agreements. The facility will be secured by substantially all the assets of
the Company. Approximately sixteen million dollars of the facility will be
used to refinance existing debt, including the debt incurred by the Company
in connection with the acquisition of the Inholtra assets, with the remainder
of the available financing to be used to finance working capital. The
facility is expected to be finalized by June 10, 1999, however such financing
is subject to final negotiation, document preparation, approvals and the
completion of due-diligence by the lender, and there is no assurance that
this facility will be put in place by such date, or if at all. The inability
to obtain such financing could have a material adverse effect on the
Company's business, financial condition, and results of operations.

The Company has primarily funded its operations to date through internally
generated capital or bank financing. The company's future capital requirements,
beyond the immediate need to obtain replacement financing for its existing debt,
will depend on many factors, including the nature and timing of orders from
customers, collection of account on trade sales, the expansion of sales and
marketing efforts, costs associated with entering into new channels of
distribution, and the status of competitive products.

Year 2000 Disclosure

The Company has developed a plan to ensure its systems are compliant with the
requirements to process transactions in the Year 2000 ("Y2K"). The majority
of the Company's internal information systems have been upgraded or are in
the process of being upgraded or replaced with fully compliant new systems.
Most significant Company systems are deemed to be Y2K compliant. Some of the
Company's customers utilize equipment to capture and transmit financial
transactions. The Company is in the process of making the necessary updates
to this equipment to ensure it will be effective in the Y2K. The Company is
also working with its processing banks and network providers to ensure their
systems are year 2000 compliant. All of these costs will be or have been
borne by the processors and network companies. The Company does not rely on
any one significant customer or vendor for its sales or purchases. The
failure of any customer or vendor to comply with Y2K is not expected to have
a material impact on the Company's operations. However, should the Company,
its customers, its vendors or the processing banks fail to resolve Y2K
issues, the Company may lose certain financial and operating data. The
Company is in the process of developing a contingency plan, which it expects
to be completed by the end of the fiscal year. The total cost of the software
implementation to bring the Company into Y2K compliance is estimated to be
approximately $20,000.
