                    NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                     THREE MONTHS ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 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 February 28, 1999 and the results
of operations and statements of cash flows for the three months ended February
28, 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
three months ended February 28, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the
results to be expected for the full year.

2.       Summary of Proposed Transaction:

         On March 3, 1999, the Company and PDK entered into an Asset Purchase
Agreement with Nutraceutical Corporation ("Nutraceutical") and FB Acquisition
Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of Nutraceutical pursuant to which FB
Acquisition Corp. agreed to acquire and the Company agreed to sell, (the
"Transaction") substantially all of the Company's assets (the "Assets").

         As consideration for the Assets, FB Acquisitions Corp. has agreed to
pay in cash (i) $3,700,000, (ii) the value of purchased inventory up to
$1,500,000, and (iii) the net book value of accounts receivable up to a
maximum of $725,000. The purchase price is subject to adjustment in the event
that the proceeds actually received from collecting the purchased accounts
receivables differ from the amount of purchased accounts receivable.

         The closing ("Closing") of the Transaction is subject to approval of
the Company's stockholders and the satisfaction of other customary conditions.
PDK, the majority stockholder of the Company has agreed to vote the shares of
the Company's capital stock held by it in favor of the Transaction. The
Company anticipates closing the Transaction during the second quarter of 1999.

         Following the Closing, the Company shall be restricted from engaging
in merchandising distribution or sale of (i) a broad line of branded
nutritional supplements, other than to mass merchandisers, or (ii) any of the
Company's proprietary products and/or formulations. As a result, the Company
intends to commence a new business.

         Net assets to be disposed of in connection with this transaction have
been classified as current assets in the accompanying balance sheet as of
February 28, 1999.

3.       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.

4.       Inventories:

         Inventories, consisting principally of finished goods, at February
28, 1999 have been estimated using the gross profit method.

5.       Property, Plant and Equipment:

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

7.       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 February 28, 1999 was 7.75%.

8.       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.

                 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 succfessfully 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 three month periods ended February 28, 1999 and
1998 approximated $1,748,000 and $2,344,000, respectively. Gross profit on
these sales were approximately $757,000 (43% of sales) and $968,000 (41% of
sales) for the three months ended February 28, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses were $937,000 (54% of
sales) and $1,211,000 (52% of sales) for the three month periods ended
February 28, 1999 and 1998, respectively. 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 March 3, 1999, the Company and PDK entered into a binding Asset
Purchase Agreement with Nutraceutical Corporation ("Nutraceutical") and FB
Acquisition Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of Nutraceutical pursuant to
which FB Acquisition Corp. agreed to acquire and the Company agreed to sell,
(the "Transaction") substantially all of the Company's assets (the "Assets").

         As consideration for the Assets, FB Acquisitions Corp. has agreed to
pay in cash (i) $3,700,000, (ii) the value of purchased inventory up to
$1,500,000, and (iii) the net book value of accounts receivable up to a
maximum of $725,000. The purchase price is subject to adjustment in the event
that the proceeds actually received from collecting the purchased accounts
receivables differ from the amount of purchased accounts receivable.

         The closing ("Closing") of the Transaction is subject to approval of
the Company's stockholders and the satisfaction of other customary conditions.
PDK, the majority stockholder, of the company has agreed to vote the shares of
the Company's capital stock held thereby in favor of the Transaction. The
Company anticipates closing the Transaction during the second quarter of 1999.

         Following the Closing, the Company shall be restricted from engaging
in merchandising, distribution or sale of (i) a broad line of branded
nutritional supplements, other than to mass merchandisers, or (ii) any of the
Company's proprietary products and/or formulations. As a result, the Company
intends to commence a new business.

         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 is developing 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 is in the process of making
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 $6,964,000 at February 28,
1999.

          The Company's statement of cash flows reflects cash used in
operations of approximately $98,000 which reflects a net loss of approximately
($86,000), increases in operating assets such as accounts receivable
($54,000), due from parent ($313,000), prepaid and other current assets
($12,000) and an adjustment for deferred income tax benefit ($94,000), offset
by a decrease in inventories ($190,000), other assets ($30,000), increase in
accounts payable and accrued expenses ($132,000) and an adjustment for
depreciation and amortization ($114,000).

     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.

         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.
