                          CELESTIAL SEASONINGS, INC.
             NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.   GENERAL

     Basis of Presentation - Each fiscal quarter includes thirteen weeks. The
Company's second fiscal quarter ended on the last Saturday of March. For
presentation purposes, however, the second fiscal quarter is presented as if it
ended on March 31.

     The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its subsidiaries. Intercompany balances have been eliminated in
consolidation.

     Interim Financial Information - The financial information contained herein
is unaudited but includes all normal and recurring adjustments which, in the
opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the information set
forth. The unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, which are included in
the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended September 30,
1999. The Company's business is seasonal; therefore, results for interim periods
are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the fiscal year of
the Company ending September 30, 2000. The Company believes that this Quarterly
Report filed on Form 10-Q is representative of its financial position, its
results of operations and its cash flows for the periods ended March 31, 2000
and 1999 covered thereby.

     Earnings Per Share - In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share," the increase in weighted average common
shares - assuming dilution is due to the application of the treasury share
method for outstanding stock options. The application of the treasury share
method resulted in an additional 624,000 and 690,000 weighted average shares for
the three months ended  March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively, and an additional
542,000 and 592,000 weighted average shares for the six months ended March 31,
2000 and 1999, respectively.

     Comprehensive Income - In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130 ("SFAS 130"),
"Reporting Comprehensive Income." SFAS 130 requires companies to disclose
comprehensive income and its components. The Company currently has no items of
other comprehensive income and therefore SFAS 130 does not apply.

                                       6
<PAGE>

     Operating Segments - The Company has two reportable segments, which are
segregated by product line: beverages and dietary supplements. The Company's
beverage products are sold in all 50 states and approximately 50 countries,
while its dietary supplement products are primarily sold in the United States.
Other includes corporate general and administrative expense and the Company's
direct retail business. Trade and consumer promotion expenses for specific
product lines are charged directly to operating segments.

3.   LEGAL  PROCEEDINGS

     On May 5, 1995, a purported stockholder of the Company filed a lawsuit,
Schwartz v. Celestial Seasonings, Inc. et. al., in the United States District
----------------------------------------------
Court for the District of Colorado (Civil Action Number:  95-K-1045), in
connection with disclosures by the Company concerning the Company's license
agreement with Perrier Group of America, Inc. which was terminated on January 1,
1995. In addition to the Company, the complaint names as defendants certain of
the Company's present and former directors and officers, PaineWebber, Inc.,
Shearson/Lehman Brothers, Inc., and Vestar/Celestial Investment Limited
Partnership. The complaint, which was pled as a class action on behalf of
persons who acquired the Company's common stock from July 12, 1993 through May
18, 1994, sought money damages from the Company and the other defendants for the
class in the amount of their loss on their investment in the Company's common
stock, punitive damages, costs and expenses of the action, and such other relief
as the court may order.

     On November 6, 1995, the federal district court granted a motion by the
Company and the other defendants to dismiss the case. On September 5, 1997,
however, the court of appeals reversed the decision of the district court and
returned the case to the district court for further proceedings. The case was
certified as a class action.

     On November 4, 1999, the Company reached a settlement with the plaintiff,
which resulted in a pre-tax charge of $1.2 million during the fourth quarter of
1999. The settlement was subject to completion of a definitive settlement
stipulation to be filed in the district court and court approval of the
settlement. On April 25, 2000, the settlement was approved by the courts.  The
settlement will become final after the expiration of the appeal period in 30
days.  The Company does not expect any additional shareholder lawsuits related
to this matter.

     The Company is also a party to ordinary routine litigation incidental to
its business. The Company does not expect any of such incidental litigation to
have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations or
financial condition.

4.   MERGER

     On March 6, 2000, the Company and The Hain Food Group announced that they
had executed a definitive agreement to combine operations under the name The
Hain Celestial Group, Inc.  Under the terms of the agreement, 1.265 shares of
Hain common stock will be exchanged for each outstanding share of the Company's
common stock.  The merger is expected to be accounted for as a pooling-of-
interests and will be treated as a tax-free reorganization for all of the
Company's shareholders.  The Company has scheduled a special shareholders
meeting for May 30, 2000 to vote on the proposed merger, and, if Celestial and
Hain stockholders approve the merger, management anticipates the merger will be
completed shortly after the vote.

     Quarterly fluctuations in sales volume and operating results are due to a
number of factors, including the timing of trade promotions, advertising,
consumer promotions, production requirements and inventory adjustments by
customers. Due to the timing and extent of these factors the impact on sales
volume and operating results can be significant.

Results of Operations

     The following table is derived from the Company's unaudited consolidated
income statements for the periods indicated and presents (i) the results of
operations as a percentage of net sales and (ii) the percentage change in the
dollar amounts of each item from the prior period.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2000 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31,
1999

     Net sales. Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2000 increased
10.5% to $34.9 million from $31.6 million for the comparable period in fiscal
1999. The net sales increase was primarily the result of increased sales of the
Company's tea products and favorable mix resulting in a higher average price per
case.  Net sales of the Company's beverage products increased 10.5% to $32.7
million from $29.5 million for the comparable period in fiscal 1999.

     Gross profit. Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2000
increased 9.4% to $23.2 million from $21.2 million for the comparable period in
fiscal 1999. The Company's gross profit margin as a percent of net sales
decreased to 66.6% from 67.3% for the comparable prior year period. This
decrease was partially due to increased cost of raw materials.

     Selling and marketing expenses. Selling and marketing expenses for the
three months ended March 31, 2000 decreased 2.7% to $14.9 million from $15.3
million for the comparable period in fiscal 1999, and decreased as a percentage
of net sales to 42.6% from 48.4%. The decrease in selling and marketing expenses
was due to reductions in advertising expense, much of which related to
supplements, partially offset by increases in trade spending on teas which
included funding to build new distribution.

     General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses
for the three months ended March 31, 2000 increased 65.0% from the comparable
period in fiscal 1999, and increased as a percentage of net sales to 6.1% from
4.1%.  The increase was primarily due to additional accounting expenses related
to the merger discussed below and additional accruals for employee incentive
bonuses and community contributions.

     Operating income. Operating income for the three months ended March 31,
2000, increased 36.3% to $6.0 million from $4.4 million for the comparable
period in fiscal 1999 and as a percentage of net sales increased to 17.1% from
13.8%.  The increase was a result of the above factors and the absence in 2000
of operating losses from dietary supplements.

     Interest expense. Interest expense for the three months ended March 31,
2000 decreased 21.8% from the comparable period in fiscal 1999 primarily as a
result of decreased borrowings under the Company's credit facility.


Six Months Ended March 31, 2000 Compared to the Six Months Ended March 31, 1999

     Net sales. Net sales for the six months ended March 31, 2000 increased 1.9%
to $70.5 million from $69.2 million for the comparable period in fiscal 1999.
Net sales growth was primarily the result of increased sales of the Company's
green tea and wellness tea products. This increase was partially offset by a
decrease in sales of the Company's specialty black tea products. The Company's
wellness tea products contributed net sales of approximately $12.6 million
during the first half 2000, as compared to $9.0 million for the comparable
period in 1999. Net sales of the Company's beverage products increased 5.5% to
$64.8 million from $61.4 million for the comparable period in fiscal 1999.

     Gross profit. Gross profit for the six months ended March 31, 2000
increased 3.0% to $46.2 million from $44.9 million for the comparable period in
fiscal 1999.  The Company's gross profit margin as a percent of net sales
remained relatively unchanged from 1999. The Company experienced increased
margins in its beverage segment due to increased sales of its higher margin
green tea products and decreased sales of its lower margin specialty black tea
products.

<PAGE>

     Selling and marketing expenses. Selling and marketing expenses for the six
months ended March 31, 2000 decreased 7.5% to $30.1 million from $32.5 million
for the comparable period in fiscal 1999, and decreased as a percentage of net
sales to 42.7% from 47.0%. The decrease in selling and marketing expenses was
primarily due to a decrease in advertising expenses related to dietary
supplements and decreased consumer promotion expenses associated with the
Company's beverage products, offset by increases in trade promotion expenses
that included funding to build distribution.

     General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses
for the six months ended March 31, 2000 increased 28.8% from the comparable
period in fiscal 1999, and increased as a percentage of net sales to 5.4% from
4.3%. The increase was primarily due to accounting fees incurred in conjunction
with the merger discussed below and increased accruals for employee incentive
bonuses and community contributions.

     Operating income. Operating income for the six months ended March 31, 2000
increased 34.0% to $11.8 million from $8.8 million for the comparable period in
fiscal 1999, and as a percentage of net sales increased to 16.7% from 12.7%.

     Interest expense. Interest expense for the six months ended March 31, 2000
decreased 20.6% from the comparable period in fiscal 1999 primarily as a result
of decreased borrowings under the Company's credit facility.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The operations of the Company historically have been funded with a
combination of internally generated funds and external borrowings.  Other than
funding ongoing operations, the Company's principal uses of funds in the future
are expected to be the development of new or existing beverage and wellness
products and the possible acquisition of brands, product lines or other assets.
The Company expects its primary sources of financing for its future business
activities will be funds from operations plus borrowings under credit
facilities.  The Company's credit facility will terminate if the merger
described below is completed, and management is currently negotiating terms of a
revised credit facility to apply if the merger is completed.  The Company
believes that the negotiations will be successfully completed by May 30, 2000.
The Company currently believes those funds from operations and funds expected to
be available under the Company's credit facilities are likely to be sufficient
to meet operating and capital requirements unless a significant acquisition is
made.

     Cash and cash equivalents increased $565,000 for the six months ended March
31, 2000. Cash provided by operating activities was $5.6 million for the six
months ended March 31, 2000. The Company's investing activities used cash of
$0.6 million and financing activities used cash of $4.5 million for the six
months ended March 31, 2000.

     The Company incurred capital expenditures of approximately $552,000 during
the six months ended March 31, 2000, including $446,000 in computer equipment.
