                     NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                        NINE MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 1997


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 August 31, 1997 and the results of
operations and statements of cash flows for the nine months ended August 31,
1997 and August 31,1996. The balance sheet as of November 30, 1996 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-KSB for
the fiscal year ended November 30, 1996. The results of operations and cash
flows for the nine months ended August 31, 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
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. Financial instruments also
include corporate bonds rated at least "A-1" or the equivalent thereof by
Standard & Poors Corporation.


3.       Investment in Marketable Securities:

         The Company has adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
Statement No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities." FASB No. 115 requires that investments in debt and equity
securities be designated as trading, held-to-maturity, or available for sale.
Management considers the Company's marketable securities, consisting principally
of corporate bonds rated at least "A-1" or the equivalent thereof by Standard &
Poors Corporation, to be available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are
reported at amounts which approximate fair value.


4.       Inventories:

         Inventories, consisting principally of finished goods, at August 31,
1997 have been estimated using the gross profit method.

         The Company has a marketing program with select retail stores and
distributors in order to obtain premium shelf space. Costs associated with these
distribution rights are being charged to operations ratably over the lives of
the agreements. The Company ceased signing on any new customers under this
program as of May 31, 1996.


6.       Long-Term Debt

         On August 20, 1997, the Company and its parent entered into credit 
facilities with a new bank which provide for borrowings under a revolving credit
agreement (the "Revolving Agreement") and a term loan (the "Term Agreement").

          The Revolving Agreement which extends through September 2000, provides
for aggregate borrowings of up to $15,000,000 with a sublimit of $4,000,000 for
the Company and $11,000,000 for the parent. Borrowings under the Revolving
Agreement bear interest at the bank's prime rate or the Eurodollar rate, 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 August 31, 1997 was 8 1/2%

7.       Stockholders' Equity:

         a.   (Loss) Earnings per share

              (Loss) earnings per share were computed by dividing net (loss)
earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.
Outstanding stock options have not been included as their effect on (loss)
earnings per share would have been anti-dilutive.

         b.   Reverse stock split

              On December 30, 1996, the Company's Board of Directors authorized
a one for ten reverse stock split of common stock outstanding. Per share and
weighted average share amounts for the six months ended May 31, 1996 have been
restated to reflect this stock split.


8.       Income Taxes:

         The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to the net
deferred income tax asset (liability) are comprised of the following:

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


         Net sales for the nine and three month periods ended August 31, 1997
approximated $8,754,000 and $2,726,000 respectively, as compared to $9,449,000
and $3,101,000 in the corresponding periods. The overall decrease in sales is
attributable to the Company discontinuing an aggressive marketing program which
was in place in 1996.

         Gross profit for the nine and three month periods ended August 31, 1997
amounted to approximately $4,704,000 (54% of sales) and $1,286,000 (47% of
sales), respectively as compared to $5,093,000 (54% of sales) and $1,537,000
(50% of sales). The Company has maintained its gross profit levels for the nine
and three month periods ended August 31, 1997 as compared to the corresponding
period in 1996.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses approximated $5,405,000
and $1,687,000 for the nine and three month periods ended August 31, 1997,
respectively. As a percentage of sales, these amounts represent 62% and 62%
respectively, as compared to 55% and 60% in the corresponding periods. The
increase is principally attributable to an increase in the amortization of
promotional costs incurred in connection with an aggressive sales program
designed to obtain shelf space at selected retailers. The increase in
amortization is principally attributable to additional contracts with customers
being signed in the first six months and the cost of this promotion being
charged to operations on a straight line basis which is not necessarily
proportional to sales generated under the program. The Company ceased signing on
any new customers under this program as of May 31,1996.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

         The Company had net working capital of approximately $8,993,000 at
August 31, 1997.

         The Company's statement of cash flows reflects cash used in operating
activities of approximately $775,000, which reflects a net loss of approximately
($608,000), increases in operating assets, such as inventories ($1,375,000), and
due from parent ($576,000), offset by a decrease in accounts receivable
($243,000), prepaid income taxes ($263,000), depreciation and amortization

expense ($1,260,000) and an adjustment for loan costs of ($51,000). In addition,
the statement reflects cash provided by investing activities of approximately
($1,322,000), principally attributable to the sale and maturity of securities
($1,328,000), net of the purchase of property, plant and equipment of ($7,000).

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

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