1.       Basis of Presentation:

         The interim financial statements furnished reflect all adjustments
which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement
of the financial position and results of operations for the six and three month
periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996. The financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the summary of significant accounting policies and
notes to financial statements included in the Company's Form 10-KSB for the
fiscal year ended March 31, 1997. The results of operations for the six and
three months ended September 30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the
results to be expected for the full year.

2.       Concentration of Credit Risk:

         Financial instruments which potentially expose the Company to credit
risk, as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 105 ("FAS
105"), consists primarily of trade accounts receivable. Wholesale distributors
of dietary supplements and over-the-counter pharmaceuticals account for a
substantial portion of trade receivables. The risk associated with this
concentration is limited due to the large number of distributors and their
geographic dispersion.

3.       Inventories:

         Inventories, consisting principally of finished goods at September 30,
1997 have been estimated using the gross profit method.

7.      Commitments:

licensing agreement with PDK, pursuant to which PDK granted the Company an

which the distributor will market the Company's "Max Brand" and "Heads Up"
products. As consideration for their services, the distributor will earn a

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


Results of Operations

         Net sales for the six and three month periods ended September 30, 1997,
derived primarily from convenience stores and drug chains, were approximately
$4,421,000 and $2,129,000 respectively, as compared to $976,000 and $467,000 in
the corresponding periods. The increase in sales is principally attributable to
the Company entering into an Exclusive Supply and Licensing Agreement with PDK
Labs Inc. ("PDK"), whereby PDK granted the Company an exclusive license to use
the trademarks "Max Brand" and "Heads Up" and the exclusive right to distribute
products bearing such names. Gross profit for the six and three month periods
ended September 30, 1997 approximated $2,363,000 (53% of sales) and $1,124,000
(53% of sales) respectively, as compared to $484,000 (50% of sales) and $228,000
(49% of sales) in the corresponding periods in the prior year. The increase in
gross profit is attributable to sales of "Max Brand" and "Heads Up" products
which yield higher gross profits.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses approximated $2,245,000
and $1,070,000 for the six and three month periods ended September 30, 1997,
respectively. As a percentage of sales, these amounts represent 51% and 50%
respectively, as compared to 96% and 110% in the corresponding periods in the
prior year. The overall decrease as a percentage of sales is attributable to
sales growth exceeding increases in marketing costs incurred in connection with
the Company entering into a marketing agreement with a non-affiliated
pharmaceutical distributor (the "distributor") dated May 5, 1997. Pursuant to
this Agreement, the distributor will market the Company's "Max Brand" and "Heads
Up" products for a period of two years, renewable for successive periods of one
year. The distributor earns a marketing fee equal to the difference between (i)
the price of the products sold and (ii) an amount equal to 200% of the material
cost of the products, as defined.

         On March 24, 1997, the Company entered into an exclusive supply and
marketing agreement with PDK, pursuant to which PDK granted the Company an
exclusive license to use the trademarks "Max Brand" and "Heads Up" brands of
OTCs and the exclusive right to distribute products bearing such names. In
consideration for this Agreement, the Company agreed to pay an annual license
fee of $500,000 to PDK. This fee is payable, at the option of the Company,
either in cash or in shares of the Company's Common stock. Included in selling,
general and administrative expenses is $250,000 of this license fee for the six
months ended September 30, 1997.

         As of September 30, 1997, the Company had working capital of
approximately $1,323,000.

         The Company's statement of cash flows reflects cash used in operating
activities of approximately $683,000, primarily due to increases in operating
assets such as accounts receivable ($324,000), inventories ($755,000), prepaid
expenses and other current assets ($36,000), and other assets ($55,000) and a
decrease in due to affiliate ($244,000) offset by net earnings of approximately
$222,000, an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses ($414,000), an
adjustment for deferred taxes ($103,000) and an adjustment for depreciation and
amortization expense ($199,000).

         The statement also reflects cash used in investing activities of
approximately $8,400 which reflects the acquisition of furniture and fixtures.

payment of cash dividends ($85,000).
