                          SIX MONTHS ENDED MAY 31, 1999


1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

         The interim unaudited condensed financial statements furnished reflect
all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present
fairly its financial position as of May 31, 1999 and the results of operations
and statements of cash flows for the six months ended May 31, 1999 and 1998. The
balance sheet as of November 30, 1998 has been derived from the audited balance
sheet as of that date. This report should be read in conjunction with the
Company's annual report filed on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November
30, 1998. The results of operations and cash flows for the six months ended May
31, 1999 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
concentrations of credit risk, as defined by Statement of Accounting Standards
No. 105, include trade accounts receivable. Wholesale distributors of
nutritional supplements 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 May 31, 1999
have been estimated using the gross profit method.

4.       PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT:

         Property, plant and equipment, at cost, consist of the following:

6.       LONG-TERM DEBT:

         The Company and its parent maintain credit facilities with a bank which
provide for borrowings under a revolving credit agreement (the "Revolving
Agreement") and a term loan (the "Term Agreement").

         The Revolving Agreement, as amended, which extends through September
2000, provides for aggregate borrowings of up to $10,000,000 with a sublimit of
$4,000,000 for the Company. Borrowings under the Revolving Agreement bear
interest at the bank's prime rate or the Eurodollar rate plus 1.75%, at the
Company's option.

         The Term Agreement provides for aggregate borrowings of up to
$8,500,000 for the Company and its parent on a combined basis.

         The Company and its parent are jointly and severally liable for the
unpaid balance of the credit facilities. The agreement contains various
covenants pertaining to the maintenance of certain financial ratio restrictions,
limitations on dividends, and restrictions on borrowings.

         The prime rate at May 31, 1999 was 7.75%.

7.       STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY:

          The loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the
average number of common shares and common stock equivalents outstanding during
the period. Common stock equivalents have been excluded from the calculation as
the effect is antidilutive.

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


FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

         This Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements within the
meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Statements made
that are not historical facts are forward-looking and, accordingly, involve
risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ
materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements. Although such
forward-looking statements have been based on reasonable assumptions, there is
no assurance that the expected results will be achieved. Some of the factors
that could cause actual results to differ materially include, but are not
limited to: the effects of regulatory decisions; changes in law and other
governmental actions and initiatives; uncertainties relating to global economic
conditions; market acceptance of competing products; the availability and cost
of raw materials, the Company's ability to successfully maintain or increase
market share in its core business while expanding its product base into other
markets; the strength of its distribution channels; and the Company's ability to
manage fixed and variable expense growth relative to revenue growth.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         Net sales for the six and three month periods ended May 31, 1999
approximated $4,020,000 and $2,272,000 respectively, as compared to $5,105,000
and $2,761,000 in the corresponding periods. Gross profit on these sales
approximated $1,667,000 (41% of sales) and $910,000 (40% of sales) for the six
and three month periods ended May 31, 1999 as compared to $2,074,000 (41% of
sales) and $1,106,000 (40% of sales) in the corresponding period.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses approximated $1,961,000
(49% of sales) and $1,024,000 (45% of sales) for the six and three months ended
May 31, 1999 respectively, as compared to $2,471,000 (48% of sales) and
$1,260,000 (46% of sales) for the corresponding periods in 1998. The decrease is
primarily attributable to the consolidation of sales territories and increased
telemarketing efforts with a resulting decrease in sales force salaries and
expenses.

         On July 1, 1999, Nutraceutical Corporation terminated the agreement to
purchase substantially all of the Company's assets. Management is pursuing the
sale of these assets, and does not anticipate a loss on the sale.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                   (CONTINUED)

         The Company recognizes the need to ensure its operations will not be
adversely impacted by the Year 2000 software failures. Software failures due to
processing errors potentially arising from calculations using the Year 2000 date
are a known risk. The Company is addressing this risk as to the availability and
integrity of financial systems and reliability of operational systems. The
Company has developed a plan to ensure that its systems are compliant with the
requirements to process transactions in the Year 2000. The plan consists of four
phases: assessment, remediation, testing and implementation, and encompasses
internal information technology (IT) systems and non-IT systems, as well as
third party exposures. The Company has completed the assessment of its IT
systems and non-IT systems and has satisfactorily tested remedial changes to its
existing software. In addition, the Company has requested from a majority of its
principal suppliers and vendors written statements regarding their plan for
meeting Year 2000 requirements. To date, the Company has not received adequate
response to such requests.

         Management of the Company believes that it is working on an effective
program to resolve the Year 2000 issue in a timely manner and that the costs of
implementing this program will not materially affect the financial position of
the Company. The Company has not yet completed all necessary phases of the Year
2000 program. In the event that the Company does not complete any additional
phases, the Company could experience business interruptions. In addition,
disruptions in the economy generally resulting from the Year 2000 issues could
also materially adversely affect the Company. The amount of potential liability
and lost revenue cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         The Company had net working capital of $6,968,000 at May 31, 1999.

         The Company's statement of cash flows reflects cash used in operations
of approximately $119,000 which reflects a net loss of approximately ($148,000),
increases in operating assets such as accounts receivable ($97,000), due from
parent ($472,000), prepaid and other current assets ($301,000) and an adjustment
for deferred income tax benefit ($146,000), offset by a decrease in inventories
($324,000), other assets ($172,000), increase in accounts payable and accrued
expenses ($327,000) and an adjustment for depreciation and amortization
($228,000).

         The Company and its parent are party to credit facilities with a bank
which provide for borrowings under a revolving credit agreement (the
"Revolving Agreement") and a term loan (the "Term Agreement").

         The Revolving Agreement, as amended, which expires in September 2000
provides for aggregate borrowings of up to $10,000,000 with a sublimit of
$4,000,000 for the Company. Borrowings under the Revolving Agreement bear
interest at the bank's prime rate or Eurodollar rate plus 1.75%, at the
Company's option. The term agreement provides for aggregate borrowings of up to
$8,500,000 for the Company and its parent on a combined basis.

                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                   (CONTINUED)

         The Company and its parent are jointly and severally liable for the
unpaid balance of the credit facilities. Borrowings are secured by the assets of
the Company and its parent.

         The credit facilities contain various covenants pertaining to the
maintenance of certain financial ratio restrictions, limitations on dividends,
and restrictions on borrowings.

         The Company expects to meet its cash requirements from operations,
current cash reserves, and existing financial agreements.
