              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)


1.   The accompanying financial information of Gum Tech is prepared in
     accordance with the rules prescribed for filing condensed interim financial
     statements and, accordingly, does not include all disclosures that may be
     necessary for complete financial statements prepared in accordance with
     generally accepted accounting principles. The disclosures presented are
     sufficient, in management's opinion, to make the interim information
     presented not misleading. All adjustments, consisting of normal recurring
     adjustments, which are necessary so as to make the interim information not
     misleading, have been made. Results of operations for the three months
     ended March 31, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of results of
     operations that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2001. It
     is recommended that this financial information be read with the complete
     financial statements included in Gum Tech's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
     the year ended December 31, 2000 previously filed with the Securities and
     Exchange Commission.

2.   The Company has restated its financial statements for the year ended
     December 31, 2000 and for the three months ended March 31, 2001 to amortize
     a payment of $1,625,000 that was received in November 2000 for the
     extension of a contract over the three month term of the extension. The
     $1,625,000 was originally recorded as income in 2000.

     In the opinion of management, all material adjustments necessary to correct
     the financial statements have been recorded. The impact of these
     adjustments on the Company's financial results as originally reported is
     summarized below:

                                               Three Months Ended March 31, 2001

     Interest and other income                 $   27,983            $  964,124
     Net income (loss)                           (590,088)              346,053
     Net income (loss) per share                    (0.06)                 0.04

3.   As of December 31, 1997, Gum Tech adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
     Standards (SFAS) No. 128, "Earnings Per Share", which specifies the method
     of computation, presentation and disclosure of earnings per share. SFAS No.
     128 requires the presentation of two earnings per share amounts, basic and
     diluted. Basic earnings per share is calculated using the average number of
     common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed on the
     basis of the average number of common shares outstanding plus the dilutive
     effect of outstanding stock options using the "treasury stock" method.

     The schedule below summarizes the elements included in the calculation of
     basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share for the three months
     ended March 31, 2001 and 2000. Options, warrants and other incremental
     shares to purchase 744,246 and 1,225,096 shares of common stock at March
     31, 2001 and 2000, respectively, were not included in the computation of
     diluted earnings per share because their effect would be anti-dilutive.

5.   In September 2000, the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") reached a
     consensus regarding Issue 00-10, "Accounting for Shipping and Handling Fees
     and Costs," which requires any shipping and handling costs billed to
     customers in a sale transaction to be classified as revenue. The Company
     adopted Issue 00-10 in the fourth quarter of 2000 and has restated its 2000
     financial statements to conform to the new financial statement
     presentation.

6.   Recent Developments

     On March 14, 2001, Gum Tech entered into a definitive Asset Purchase
     Agreement with Wm. Wrigley Jr. Company ("Wrigley"), a Delaware corporation,
     which contemplates the sale of substantially all of Gum Tech's assets
     related to its gum operations to Wrigley in exchange for $25,000,000 in
     cash and other consideration. Gum Tech would retain certain assets,
     including cash, accounts receivable, its 60% interest in Gel Tech, LLC,
     which markets and distributes Zicam Cold Remedy and Zicam Allergy Relief,
     and its 49% interest in a joint venture with Swedish Match to develop and
     market a non-tobacco nicotine gum. Gum Tech's Board of Directors has
     elected to submit the proposed sale of assets to Gum Tech's stockholders
     for approval at a special meeting currently scheduled for July 19, 2001.

     Management believes that the proposed sale of assets to Wrigley is in the
     best interests of Gum Tech and its stockholders and will improve Gum Tech's
     financial performance in the long-term. Since inception, Gum Tech has been
     unable to achieve profitability with respect to its gum operations and
     unable to obtain sufficient capital to effectively develop, market and
     distribute its own brands. Furthermore, due to Gum Tech's inability to
     increase sales attributable to its gum operations, Gum Tech has not been
     able to maintain full capacity of its manufacturing plant. Additionally,
     sales attributable to Gum Tech's contract manufacturing gum operations have
     declined significantly due to financial difficulties encountered by several
     of its major customers.

     Gum Tech anticipates that the proceeds of the proposed sale of assets will
     enable it to shed an unprofitable component of its operations and allow Gum
     Tech to focus on marketing and promoting the Zicam line of products.
     Furthermore, Gum Tech believes that it will be better positioned to pursue
     other potential opportunities in the market for innovative nutrient and
     drug delivery systems and provide financial support, if necessary, to our
     joint ventures with Zensano, Inc. and Swedish Match AB.

     Gum Tech intends to distribute a proxy statement to stockholders of record
     on June 20, 2001 in connection with the special meeting. The proxy
     statement will contain additional information about the proposed sale of
     assets, including the Board's recommendation with respect to the Wrigley
     transaction and the reasons underlying its recommendation. The proposed
     sale of assets to Wrigley is subject to a number of closing conditions,
     including, but not limited to, approval by Gum Tech's stockholders and
     satisfaction or waiver of a number of conditions.

     NET SALES. Net Zicam sales increased to approximately $6.5 million in the
three months ended March 31, 2001, or 109% above the $3.1 million sales level
the prior year. Approximately two-thirds of 2001 sales relate to Zicam Cold
Remedy and one-third to Zicam Allergy Relief. All of the sales in the first
quarter of 2000 relate to Zicam Cold Remedy. Sales of Zicam Cold Remedy
increased 35% above the prior year period, primarily due to increased customer
awareness and acceptance of the product resulting from Gel Tech's extensive
advertising and public relations efforts during the 2000-2001 cold season. The
difference in the severity and timing of cold seasons between the two years also
impacts the sales comparison. The 1999-2000 cold season peaked very early and
subsequently dropped off rapidly in the first quarter of 2000, whereas the
2000-2001 cold season began very slowly, but continued at a higher level into
the first quarter of 2001, resulting in a higher level of sales in the first
quarter of 2001.

     Sales of Zicam Allergy Relief, which was introduced in early 2000,
benefited from the extensive advertising campaign for Zicam Cold Remedy. Zicam
Allergy Relief has not achieved the level of publicity or marketing attention as
Zicam Cold Remedy. Consequently, the Company intends to focus its marketing and
public relations efforts in the second and third quarters of 2001, during the
peak of the allergy season, on Zicam Allergy Relief.

     COST OF SALES. Cost of sales increased from last year reflecting the higher
level of sales, but decreased as a percentage of sales due to decreases in cost
of materials and production.

     GROSS PROFIT. Zicam operations realized a gross profit of $4.9 million
versus the prior year amount of approximately $2.0 million.

     OPERATING EXPENSES. Operating expenses decreased to approximately $4.1
million from $4.5 million the prior year primarily due to a decrease in
advertising expenses.

     RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. Research and development expense primarily
reflects continuing research on both allergy and cold relief products.

                                       9
<PAGE>
     INTEREST EXPENSE. Gel Tech recorded interest expense on its bank borrowing
facility and on loans from its two equity partners, which were repaid by March
31, 2001.

     INCOME (LOSS) BEFORE INCOME TAX AND MINORITY INTEREST. Gel Tech LLC
recorded income of approximately $600,000 versus a loss of approximately $2.5
million the prior year, primarily due to the higher sales level.

CHEWING GUM OPERATIONS

     Certain information is set forth below for our chewing gum operations
expressed in dollars and as a percentage of net sales for the periods indicated:

     NET SALES. Net gum sales declined to approximately $668,000 from $924,000
the prior year. Although sales to the Company's existing gum customers will
fluctuate from period to period, the Company does not expect any significant
continuing growth in sales to result from these customers. Consequently, growth
in sales from gum operations is dependent upon the addition of new customers,
including the joint venture established with Swedish Match, and potential
relationships to develop and market gum products with other major consumer
products companies. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will
finalize these or any other contractual arrangements, or that any of these
relationships will ultimately prove successful.

     COST OF SALES. Cost of sales declined reflecting the lower sales level, but
increased as a percentage of sales due to the high level of fixed manufacturing
costs relative to the level of sales.

     GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit declined as a result of the lower sales level
and an increase in cost of sales as a percentage of sales.

     RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. Research and development expenses decreased
primarily due to differences between the two periods of amounts expended and
billed to the joint venture with Swedish Match for nicotine gum research.

                                       10
<PAGE>
     INCOME (LOSS) FROM OPERATIONS. Gum operations lost approximately $1.1
million. Gum Tech does not anticipate gum operations to become profitable unless
and until sales from new contractual relationships are realized in future
periods. There can be no guarantee that any new contractual relationship will be
successful.

     INTEREST AND OTHER INCOME. Interest and other income increased primarily
due to amortization of deferred revenue from extension of a contract with P&G in
2000 of $936,000 and income realized by gum operations for barter credits used
by the Zicam operations in conjunction with the Zicam advertising program.

     INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense decreased from the prior year period due
to the repayment of the gum operations debt in the first quarter of 2000.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Gum Tech's working capital increased slightly from approximately $5.6
million at December 31, 2000 to approximately $6.3 million at March 31, 2001.
During the three-month period ended March 31, 2001, Gum Tech experienced an
increase in cash from operating activities of approximately $1.6 million, due
primarily to decreases in accounts receivable and inventories of approximately
$1.7 million and $900,000, respectively, offset in part by a decrease in
accounts payable and deferred revenue, net of a decrease in cash restricted for
advertising, of approximately $1,600,000.

     Investing  activities  used  cash of  approximately  $800,000  for  capital
expenditures, while financing activities provided cash of approximately $900,000
through the issuance of stock upon exercise of options and warrants.

the long-term; (ii) the belief that Gum Tech will be better positioned following
the proposed sale of assets to Wrigley to pursue other potential opportunities
in the market for innovative nutrient and drug delivery systems; (iii) the
expectation that the use of proceeds from the proposed sale of assets to Wrigley
to increase the marketing of the Zicam line of products will result in
significant growth and revenue from sales of those products; (iv) the belief

     Forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties, and other factors
that may cause actual results, performance, or achievements to be materially
different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

     Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from Gum
Tech's expectations include, but are not limited to, the following: (i) failure

more closing conditions; (ii) less than anticipated demand for our chewing gum
or nasal gel products, including Zicam Cold Remedy and Zicam Allergy Relief;
(iii) lack of market acceptance for or uncertainties concerning the efficacy of
the Zicam line of products; (iv) fluctuations in seasonal demand for the Zicam
line of products; (v) difficulties in increasing production to meet unexpectedly
high demand in the short term; (vi) a decrease in the level of reorders from
existing customers; (vii) financial difficulties encountered by one or more of
our principal customers; (vii) difficulties in obtaining additional capital for
marketing, research and development, and other expenses; (ix) the possibility of
material charges that may be incurred as a result of prior activities; (x)
unavailability of third-party material products at reasonable prices; (xi)
inventory obsolescence due to shifts in market demand; and (xii) material
litigation involving patent and contractual claims, product liabilities and
consumer issues.

WE INCURRED SIGNIFICANT LOSSES IN PREVIOUS YEARS

     We have recorded losses in each of the last several years and our future
operations may not be profitable. The likelihood of our success must be
considered relative to the problems, difficulties, complications, and delays
frequently encountered in connection with the development and operation of a
business that has not yet achieved profitable operations, the significant
changes in strategy in early 1998 and 2000, the significant change in operations
that will result from the proposed sale of assets to Wrigley, and the
development and marketing of Zicam Cold Remedy and Zicam Allergy Relief, both
relatively new products.

OUR RELIANCE UPON A FEW GUM CUSTOMERS HAS NEGATIVELY IMPACTED OUR FINANCIAL
RESULTS

     The shift in our chewing gum strategy in early 1998 to a focus on contract
manufacturing has made our chewing gum operations dependent for sales and future
growth on a few customers. In 1999, we achieved some success in building gum
sales through the addition of and increased sales to Herbalife, BreathAsure,
Ranir, Heritage Consumer Products and PharmaGreen. However, sales to these
customers dropped significantly in 2000, primarily due to financial difficulties
experienced by certain of these customers. Further, Heritage Consumer Products
ceased operations in late 2000 and BreathAsure filed for reorganization under
the bankruptcy statutes. While sales to new customers, including the successor
companies to Heritage and BreathAsure, may offset some or all of this decline,
Gum Tech will continue to be dependent on the financial resources and marketing
capabilities of third parties for its gum operations. Further, we are at risk
for their non-payment or late payment for amounts owed to us. Assuming we are
unable to complete the sale of assets to Wrigley, we intend to add to this
portfolio of customers to reduce the risk of non-performance by any single
customer, and to focus on the addition of larger, more established consumer
companies, although we have not yet been successful in these efforts.

                                       12
<PAGE>
IF THE PROPOSED SALE OF ASSETS TO WRIGLEY IS COMPLETED, WE MAY ENCOUNTER
DIFFICULTIES IN EXPANDING OUR OPERATIONS

     Assuming the proposed sale to Wrigley is completed as expected in the third
quarter of 2001, there can be no guarantee that Gum Tech will not encounter
difficulties in expanding its remaining operations. If completed, the sale of
assets will require Gum Tech to replace or continue without its research and
development personnel and capabilities, including the full-time services of Gary
Kehoe, sublease or obtain a new lease for its principal executive offices, and
determine how to most effectively apply the proceeds received from the sale of
assets. There can be no assurance that Gum Tech will be successful in addressing
these issues.

IF ZICAM COLD REMEDY AND ZICAM ALLERGY RELIEF DO NOT GAIN MARKET WIDESPREAD
ACCEPTANCE, OUR ANTICIPATED SALES AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS WILL SUFFER

     Although studies have indicated that Zicam Cold Remedy can significantly
reduce the duration and severity of the common cold, there is no guarantee that
the product will achieve widespread acceptance by the market. If any
unanticipated problem arises concerning the efficacy of Zicam Cold Remedy or the
product fails to achieve widespread market acceptance for any reason, our
prospects for our future operating results would be adversely affected. In
addition, Zicam Allergy Relief has only been recently introduced and as yet has
not achieved the success enjoyed by Zicam Cold Remedy. There is no assurance
that demand for these products will continue to grow.

WE MAY BE UNABLE TO MEET DEMAND FOR OUR NEW PRODUCTS

     To the extent Zicam Cold Remedy or Zicam Allergy Relief or any other new
product we introduce achieves widespread market acceptance and generates
significant demand, we may be unable to produce and deliver sufficient
quantities of the product to meet our customers' demands on a timely basis. If
so, we could lose opportunities to sell larger quantities of the product and
damage relationships with distributors whose orders could not be timely filled.
This problem, if encountered, could be particularly damaging if we are not able
to meet customer demand during the cold and allergy seasons, when we expect
demand for sales of the two Zicam products to peak.

UNANTICIPATED PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT COULD DELAY OR HINDER
INTRODUCTION OF NEW PRODUCTS

     We may experience unanticipated difficulties in developing new products
that could delay or prevent the introduction of those products. We may be
dependent in the near future upon chewing gum products that are currently being
developed. If we are unable to develop new chewing gum products or new products
in the innovative nutrient and drug delivery system market on a timely basis,
our business, operating results, and financial condition could be materially
adversely affected.

                                       13
<PAGE>
OUR INABILITY TO PROVIDE SCIENTIFIC PROOF FOR PRODUCT CLAIMS MAY ADVERSELY
AFFECT OUR SALES

     The marketing of certain of our nasal gel and chewing gum products,
including both Zicam products, involves claims that these products reduce the
duration of the common cold, relieve allergy symptoms, assist in weight loss,
and promote dental hygiene, among other claims. Under FDA and FTC rules, we are
required to obtain scientific data to support any health claims we make
concerning our products. Although we have not provided nor been requested to
provide any scientific data to the FDA in support of claims regarding our
products, we have obtained scientific data for all of our products. There can be
no assurance that the scientific data we have obtained in support of our claims
will be deemed acceptable to the FDA or FTC, should either agency request any
such data in the future. If the FDA or the FTC requests any supporting
information, and we are unable to provide support that is acceptable to the FDA
or the FTC, either agency could force us to stop making the claims in question
or restrict us from selling the affected products.

FDA AND OTHER GOVERNMENT REGULATION MAY RESTRICT OUR ABILITY TO SELL OUR
PRODUCTS

     We are subject to various federal, state and local laws affecting our
business. Our nasal gel and chewing gum products are subject to regulation by
the FDA, including regulations with respect to labeling of products, approval of
ingredients in products, claims made regarding the products, and disclosure of
product ingredients. If we do not comply with these regulations, the FDA could
force us to stop selling the affected products or incur substantial costs in
adopting measures to maintain compliance with these regulations.

     Our advertising claims regarding our products are subject to the
jurisdiction of the FTC as well as the FDA. In both cases we are required to
obtain scientific data to support any advertising or labeling health claims we
make concerning our products, although no pre-clearance or filing is required to
be made with either agency. If we are unable to provide the required support for
such claims, the FTC may stop us from making such claims or require us to stop
selling the related product.

WE MAY BE UNABLE TO PREVENT OTHERS FROM DEVELOPING SIMILAR PRODUCTS

     We routinely seek trademark and patent protection from the United States
Patent Office and from similar agencies in foreign countries for our chewing gum
brands and the Zicam line of products. There can be no assurance that we will be
able to successfully defend any trademarks, trade names or patents against
claims from or use by competitors or that trademark, trade name or patent
applications will be approved by the USPO or any similar foreign agency.

     We consider some of our chewing gum formulations and processes to be
proprietary in nature and rely upon a combination of non-disclosure agreements,
other contractual restrictions and trade secrecy laws to protect such
proprietary information. There can be no assurance that these steps will be
adequate to prevent misappropriation of our proprietary information or that our
competitors will not independently develop chewing gum formulations and
processes that are substantially equivalent or superior to our own.

THE LARGE NUMBER OF SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR IMMEDIATE AND FUTURE SALES MAY DEPRESS
THE PRICE OF OUR STOCK

     Sales of substantial amounts of common stock in the open market or the
availability of a large number of additional shares for sale could adversely
affect the market price for our common stock. Substantially all of our
outstanding shares of common stock, as well as the shares underlying vested but
as yet unexercised warrants and options, have either been registered for public
sale or may be sold under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act.
Therefore, all of these shares may be immediately sold by the holders. A
substantial increase in the volume of trading in our stock may depress the price
of our common stock. In addition, if the proposed sale of assets to Wrigley is
completed, Wrigley will purchase 200,000 shares of our common stock and will
have the right to sell that stock after the six-month anniversary of the closing
subject to certain volume limitations. The decision by Wrigley to sell a
substantial amount of these shares in a short period of time also could
adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

THE PRICE OF OUR STOCK MAY CONTINUE TO BE VOLATILE

     The market price of our common stock has been highly volatile and may
continue to be volatile in the future. Factors such as our operating results or
public announcements may cause the market price of our stock to decline quickly.
Market prices for securities of many small capitalization companies have
experienced wide fluctuations in response to variations in quarterly operating
results, general economic indicators, and other factors beyond our control.

WE MAY INCUR SIGNIFICANT COSTS RESULTING FROM PRODUCT LIABILITY CLAIMS

     We are subject to significant liability should use or consumption of our
products cause injury, illness or death. Although we carry product liability
insurance, there can be no assurance that our insurance will be adequate to
protect us against product liability claims or that insurance coverage will
continue to be available on reasonable terms.

PATENT LITIGATION CLAIM BY QUIGLEY COULD RESULT IN DAMAGES OR INJUNCTION.

     The Quigley Corporation ("Quigley"), in a complaint filed against us and
Gel Tech, alleges that the sale of Zicam infringes on a patent licensed to
Quigley. Although we believe in the merits of our defense against this complaint
and intend to vigorously defend this action, we could be subject to substantial
damages or an injunction preventing us from selling Zicam Cold Remedy if the
decision in the case is unfavorable to us. In such case, our business and
results could be materially and adversely affected until the May 2002 expiration
of their patent.

                           PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     On October 16, 1996, a lawsuit was filed against Gum Tech International and
other parties in the United States District Court for the Central District of
California, CV-95-9784. The action is entitled GCN Products, Inc. vs. Roy Kelly,
et al. The complaint, as it relates to us, principally alleged that we engaged
in unlawful rebates, appropriations and overcharges, commercial bribery, fraud
and unjust enrichment. On September 4, 1998, the court granted a motion for
summary judgment in our favor, and dismissed the plaintiff's claims against us
and our current and former directors. The ruling dismissing Gum Tech and certain
other plaintiffs has been appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth
Circuit. We intend to vigorously defend this action.

     On June 2, 1999, Gum Tech filed a complaint in the Superior Court of
Maricopa County, Arizona against DJ Ltd. ("DJ"), CIV 99-1136-PHX-PGR (D. Ariz.).
Following a private placement we completed in June 1999, DJ sent us a letter
demanding a placement fee based on an agreement between the parties dated
December 1996. Our complaint sought a declaratory judgment that DJ was not owed
any fee under this agreement. DJ removed the case to the United States District
Court for the District of Arizona and filed a counterclaim. In its counterclaim,
DJ alleges that we breached the contract between the parties and that Gum Tech
has been unjustly enriched. DJ seeks damages in the amount of $480,000, plus
costs, expenses and warrants to purchase 50,000 shares of Gum Tech common stock.
DJ also seeks a declaratory judgment confirming its version of its rights under
the agreement.

     On November 9, 1999, The Quigley Corporation commenced a civil action
against Gum Tech and Gel Tech, LLC in the United States District Court for the
Eastern District of Pennsylvania. The complaint alleges that Zicam Cold Remedy
infringes on a patent licensed to The Quigley Corporation. The complaint seeks
compensatory damages and injunctive relief. This case is scheduled for trial
before the district court in June 2001. Each of the defendants denies the
allegations of the complaint and intends to vigorously defend this action.

     On November 8, 2000, Gel Tech, LLC filed a complaint in the U.S. District
Court for the District of Arizona against AccuMed, Inc. CIV 00-141-PHX-PGR. Our
complaint alleges claims of patent infringement, copyright infringement, and
unfair competition concerning a cold remedy product manufactured and distributed
by AccuMed. We seek compensatory damages and injunctive relief.
