Note 1:   

Basis of Presentation

     The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements 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,
1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
year ended December 31, 1998.  For further information, refer to the
consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Form
10-K dated April 15, 1998 and the Company's Proxy Statement expected to be filed
in May of 1998.

Note 2:

Restatement

     The Company's balance sheets as of December 31, 1997 and 1996 and the
related statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each
of the two years in the period ended December 31, 1997 have been restated
effective July 15, 1996.  The restatement is a result of the Securities and
Exchange Commission's review of the Company's proxy materials related to the
merger with Irwin Naturals (See Note 3).  The restatement affects the accounting
treatment of the purchase price recorded for the Surgical acquisition in July
1996.  In connection therewith, the Company increased the intangible asset
values recorded for the Surgical acquisition by $3,042,000.  The remaining
intangible assets of $3,202,000 were then written down in 1997 because the
continuing Surgical operations did not generated sufficient revenue to justify
continuing such valuation.  The restatement also included an adjustment to write
down inventory by $758,000 in connection with the exchange for barter credits in
1997.  These write downs were considered corrections of errors and the affected
financial reporting periods were restated.  The restatement was a non-cash
charge against earnings and does not reflect an adverse change in the Company's
cash flow previously reported.  The accounts affected by the restatement are as
follows:

Merger Agreement

     On January 7, 1998 4Health, Inc. entered into a merger agreement (the
"Merger Agreement") with Irwin Naturals, a privately held California corporation
also engaged in the nutritional supplement business.  The Merger Agreement was
amended and restated on April 2, 1998.  The merger transaction is conditioned
upon both companies satisfying certain conditions as specified in the agreement
including the approval of the method of accounting for the transaction, the
receipt of shareholder approval of the merger, and the satisfaction of other
customary conditions.

Note 4:

Earnings Per Share

     Effective December 15, 1997, the Company has adopted the provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 ("SFAS 128"), "Earnings Per
Share."  SFAS No. 128 requires entities to present both Basic Earnings Per Share
("EPS") and Diluted EPS.  Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by
dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number
of common stock outstanding for the period.  Diluted EPS reflects the potential
dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock
were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of
common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity.

Results of Operations

COMPARISON OF FIRST QUARTER 1998 TO 1997

     Net sales for all company brands for the three months ended March 31, 1998,
increased $87 thousand, or 2.6%, to $3.5 million from $3.4 million compared to
the same period a year ago.  The increase in overall net sales for the first
quarter of 1998 as compared to the same quarter in 1997 was due to an increase
in the Nature's Secret-Registered Trademark- brand sales of $436 thousand.  The
increase in the Nature's Secret brand net sales was offset by a decrease in net
sale in 1998 in the 4Health-TM- brand of $244 thousand and in the International
division of $101 thousand.  The decrease in 4Health brand sales can be
attributed to a large initial sale to a new mass market account in 1997. 
International net sales decreased due to a drop-off in sales to the largest
international account.

     Excluding a $236 thousand adjustment in 1997 to decrease the sales reserve
upon settlement of litigation, overall net sales for the first quarter ending
March 31, 1998 as compared to the same period in 1997 increased $323 thousand,
or 10.3%.  After excluding the effect of the sales reserve adjustment from the
Nature's Secret brand activity, net sales were actually up 30%, or $672 thousand
for the three months ending March 31, 1998 as compared to the same period in
1997.  This increase in the first quarter of this year is due to the success of
a new advertising campaign and the successful introduction of new products. 
Management expects this trend to continue and be further enhanced by the
introduction of new products throughout 1998.  The Harmony Formulas-Registered
Trademark- brand net sales remained relatively stable as compared to the same
period a year ago and management expects this trend to also continue.

     Gross profit increased 50% to $2 million for the quarter ending March 31,
1998, from $1.3 million for the same period in 1997.  However, in 1997 cost of
goods sold includes a write-down of $758 thousand resulting from inventory being
exchanged for barter credits.  Excluding the net effect of the $758 thousand
inventory write-down and the gross profit impact of $183 thousand from the sales
reserve adjustment in 1997, gross profit actually increased by 5% from $1.9
million for the three months ending March 31, 1997 to $2 million for the three
months ending March 31, 1998 due to the increase in sales of Nature's Secret
products.

     The gross profit margin increased by 18%, to 57.3%, in the three months
ending March 31, 1998 from 39.2% in the same period a year ago.  The net effect
of the $758 thousand inventory write-down and of sales reserve adjustments
totaling $183 thousand in the first three months of 1997 reduced this 1997 gross
profit margin by 21.3%.  Excluding these two unusual transactions the core
business profit margin decreased 3.2% to 57.3% for the first quarter ending
March 31, 1998 from 60.5% for the same period in 1997.  Management attributed
this decrease in gross profit margin mainly to a 1.8% increase in shipping costs
and 1.1% to costs related to new packaging.  The profit margin on product
remained stable for the first quarter of 1998 compared to the same period in
1997.

     Total operating expenses for the quarter ending March 31, 1998 decreased
$754 thousand, or 27.6%, to $2 million from $2.7 million for the same quarter in
1997.  After 

                                          9
<PAGE>

excluding costs related to the proposed merger of $120 thousand in 1998, ongoing
operational costs actually decreased $874 thousand, or 32%.  Decreased marketing
expenses of $592 thousand made up the majority of the operating expense
reduction, decreasing from $1.2 million in the first three months of 1997 to
$595 thousand in the same period in 1998, a 49.9% reduction in costs. 
Management attributes this decrease to a reduction in expenses for national
advertising agency fees and other related advertising development costs,
marketing related travel costs and Company marketing personnel costs.  The
Company's research and development department decreased spending $101 thousand
in the three months ending March 31, 1998 as compared to the same period of 1997
by eliminating clinical studies projects, reducing R & D legal costs and cutting
R & D salaries and related expenses.  Sales expenses increase $33 thousand, or
6.2%, in the first quarter of 1998 to $575 thousand as compared to $542 thousand
in the first quarter of 1997.  A reclassification of co-op advertising costs
from marketing in 1997 to a sales expense in 1998 caused this increase. 
Excluding that $59 thousand of co-op advertising from 1998 first quarter sales
expenses, sales expenses for the first three months of 1998 actually decreased
by $26 thousand when compared to the same period in 1997.

     Interest expense increased 33% to $35 thousand in the first quarter 1998
from $27 thousand in the first quarter 1997.  The reason for this increase was
the utilization of the Company's line of credit in 1998.  Interest income
decreased 84% to $4 thousand in the three months ending March 31, 1998 from $26
thousand during the same period in 1997.  This decrease was due to the average
balance of cash and cash equivalents available for investment in the first
quarter of 1998 being less than during the same period a year earlier.

     A benefit for income taxes of $34 thousand was recorded as a result of
changes in the deferred tax asset account.  The increase in the deferred tax
asset account was primarily related to differences in the book vs. tax treatment
of consulting expenses related to the issuance of stock warrants.

     The Company reported a net income of $33 thousand, or $.003 per share, for
the three months ended March 31, 1998 compared to net loss of $1.2 million, or
($.11) per share, for the three months ended March 31, 1997.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company's cash and cash equivalents position increased $204 thousand at
March 31, 1998 to $313 thousand as compared to $109 thousand at December 31,
1997.  The growth was due to an increase in open payables related to increased
inventory purchases and a decrease in accounts receivable caused by a reduction
in non-trade receivables.  The Company invests it's cash in an interest bearing
money market account.  As of March 31, 1998, the Company had working capital of
$1.6 million with a 1.8 to 1 working capital ratio.

     Accounts receivable totaled $1.5 million at March 31, 1998 as compared to
$1.6 million on December 31, 1997, a reduction of $113 thousand, or 7%, despite
an increase in overall sales.  The increased sales related to the Nature's 
Secret brand, which have a shorter collection cycle than the 4Health brand, 
caused a reduction in the average collections cycle as 

                                          10
<PAGE>

compared to December 31, 1997.  The largest portion of the decrease in customer
receivables can be attributed to a $43 thousand reduction in amounts owed for
4Health brand customer receivables.  Nature's Secret brand and the International
division receivables remained relatively stable.

     Inventories were valued at $1.6 million at March 31, 1998 as compared to 
$1.3 million at December 31, 1997, which represents 24% increase, or $.3 
million.  Inventory levels have been increased to support the level of sales 
projected for the second quarter of 1998.

     Capital expenditures for the first three months of 1998 were $0 as compared
to $65 thousand for the same period in 1997.  Management has placed a temporary
hold on any capital spending pending the outcome of the proposed merger with
Irwin Naturals.

     Other assets remained relatively stable at March 31, 1998 as compared to
December 31, 1997.

     Accounts payable and accrued liabilities increased $.6 million to $1.6
million from $1 million.  This increase is primarily related to amounts due
suppliers for the increased inventory purchases and accounting and legal fees
related to the pending merger.  The increase partially resulted from a reduction
of $300 thousand in the balance of the Company's line of credit with Norwest
Business Credit, Inc.  The March 31, 1998 balance of the line of credit was $441
thousand.  Improved cash flows that resulted form increased sales in the first
quarter of 1998 also contributed to the Company's ability to reduce the line of
credit balance.  Additional borrowing capacity on the revolving line of credit
at March 31, 1998 was $756 thousand.

     The Company has generated an overall positive cash flow of $204 thousand
for the first three months of 1998 as compared to a negative cash flow of $663
thousand for the same period in 1997.  Cash generated by operations for the
first quarter of 1998 was $506 thousand, while during the first quarter of 1997,
Company operations used $694 thousand of cash, a $1.2 million improvement.  The
majority of this improvement is due to the successful effort of management to
bring operating and marketing costs in line with sales levels and developing
more effective but cost efficient advertising promotions resulting in a
reduction of operating costs of $754 thousand.  For the first three months of
1998 a reduction in accounts receivable of $104 thousand added to the positive
cash flow, while in 1997 an increase in receivables reduced cash flow by $319
thousand.  In the first three months of 1998, the Company has utilized line of
credit funds of approximately $300 thousand to finance the purchase of inventory
while no such financing was utilized in the same period in 1997.

     The Company's future capital requirements will depend on many factors,
including the nature and timing of orders from customers, collection of accounts
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.

     In January 1998, the Company entered into a merger agreement with Irwin
Naturals, a company also engaged in the nutritional supplement business.  The
Company expects the 

                                          11
<PAGE>

anticipated merger to substantially increase its revenue stream and its cash
flow generated from operations with minimal additional cost.

     Management believes that its working capital and borrowing capacity will be
sufficient to satisfy anticipated sales growth and operating requirements over
the next 12 months. Nonetheless, the Company continues to explore sources of
additional capital for future needs. There can be no assurance, however, that
the Company will not require additional financing earlier than anticipated or
that any additional financing will be available at an acceptable terms, or 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.

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

     From time to time the Company is a party to legal proceedings that it
considers routine litigation incidental to its business.  Management believes
that the likely outcome of such litigation will not have a material adverse
effect on 4Health's business or results of operations.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

     No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the first
quarter ended March 31, 1998.

Item 5.  Other Information

     In mid-1997, the Company began a search for a strategic partner.  4Health
management believed that the Company's lack of experience in the food, drug and
mass market was limiting its future sales growth and reducing the Company's
ability to generate significant economies of scale with respect to the cost of
goods sold.  As a result of this search, 4Health agreed to merge with Irwin
Naturals, a California corporation ("IN").  The Company chose IN as a strategic
partner because of IN's significant international and mass market sales in
comparison to other potential partners.  The merger with IN was on going during
the quarter ended March 31, 1998 and is expected to close in June of 1998.

     On October 13, 1997, 4Health and IN entered into a letter of intent setting
forth the basic terms of the merger.  On January 7, 1998, 4Health, IN and Klee
Irwin, president of IN, executed a merger agreement, dated as of December 24,
1997 and amended and restated on April 2, 1998 (the "Merger Agreement"),
providing for the merger of IN with and into 4Health (the "Merger").  The Merger
Agreement was approved by the board of directors of 4Health by their unanimous
consents dated January 7, 1998 and April 2, 1998.  Under the Merger Agreement,
IN will be merged with and into 4Health, with the effect that IN will be
dissolved and 4Health will continue as the surviving corporate entity, with its
name changed to "Irwin Naturals/4Health, Inc."

                                          12

<PAGE>

     At the effective time of the Merger, all 65,250 shares of IN Common Stock
outstanding will be converted into an aggregate of 15,750,000 shares of 4Health
Common Stock (representing approximately 56.8% of the issued outstanding capital
stock of the surviving company) in accordance with the conversion ratio for the
Merger, which provides that 241.37931 shares of 4Health Common Stock will be
issued for each share of IN Common Stock outstanding at the Effective Time.  As
part of the Merger, the articles of incorporation of 4Health will be amended to
(i) change its name to "Irwin Naturals/4Health, Inc.," (ii) increase the
authorization of 4Health Common Stock to 50,000,000 shares and (iii) adopt
various provisions regarding the composition of the board of directors, the
nominations for and the removal of directors and other management related
matters.
