NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

A.    Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying interim, unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and applicable rules and regulations. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In management’s opinion, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows have been included and are of a normal, recurring nature. The results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future periods.

You should read the financial statements and these notes, which are an integral part of the financial statements, together with our audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003 (“2003 Annual Report”). The accounting policies used to prepare the financial statements included in this report are the same as those described in the notes to the consolidated financial statements in our 2003 Annual Report unless otherwise noted below.

We have reclassified certain prior period amounts to conform to the current year presentation.

Stock-Based Compensation

We have stock option plans under which we have granted non-qualified and incentive stock options to employees and non-employee directors. We also have an employee stock purchase plan. We account for stock-based awards to employees in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”), and related interpretations. We have adopted the disclosure-only alternative of SFAS 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”), as amended by SFAS 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure” (“SFAS 148”).

Pro forma information regarding net income and net income per common share is required and has been determined as if we had accounted for our stock-based awards under the fair value method, instead of the guidelines provided by APB 25. The fair value of the awards was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. Option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including expected life and stock price volatility. Because our options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect fair value estimates, in the opinion of management, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of our options.

5

For purposes of pro forma disclosures, we have amortized the estimated fair value of the options to expense over the options’ vesting periods. Our pro forma information under SFAS 123 and SFAS 148 is as follows:

	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2003			2002
	(in thousands, except per share data)
Net income—as reported	$	567		$	537
Plus: Reported stock-based compensation		7			30
Less: Fair value stock-based compensation		(80	)		(70	)
Net income—pro forma	$	494		$	497
Reported basic net income per common share	$	0.10		$	0.09
Pro forma basic net income per common share	$	0.08		$	0.09
Reported diluted net income per common share	$	0.09		$	0.09
Pro forma diluted net income per common share	$	0.08		$	0.08

Net Income per Common Share

We compute net income per common share in accordance with SFAS 128, “Earnings Per Share.” This statement requires the presentation of basic income per common share, using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period, and diluted income per common share, using the additional dilutive effect of all dilutive securities. The dilutive impact of stock options account for the additional weighted average shares of common stock outstanding for our diluted net income per common share computation. We calculated basic and diluted net income per common share as follows:

	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2003		2002
	(in thousands, except share and per share data)
Numerator
Net income	$	567	$	537
Denominator
Basic weighted average common shares outstanding		5,820,709		5,804,267
Dilutive effect of stock options		286,125		124,617
Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding		6,106,834		5,928,884
Basic net income per common share	$	0.10	$	0.09
Diluted net income per common share	$	0.09	$	0.09

Shares related to stock options of 170,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2003, and 110,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2002, were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share, as the effect of their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

D.    Debt

We have a $6.5 million credit facility which expires on October 24, 2004. The facility is comprised of a $4.0 million working capital line of credit and a $2.5 million term loan and is secured by all of our assets. The working capital line of credit is subject to eligibility requirements for current accounts receivable and inventory balances. As of September 30, 2003, we had $4.0 million available under the line of credit. The interest rate on the line of credit and term loan is prime plus 0.5%. As of September 30, 2003 the outstanding amount on the term loan was $2.1 million.

On May 2, 1996, we entered into a term loan agreement for $1.1 million, secured by a building, at an annual interest rate of 8.25%. The loan is due in June 2011 and provides for principal and interest payable in monthly installments of $10,800. The outstanding amount was $731,000 at September 30, 2003.

The composite interest rate on all outstanding debt was 5.96% at September 30, 2003, and 7.37% at September 30, 2002.

E.    Commitments

We lease part of our manufacturing facilities under non-cancelable operating leases.

We entered into two lease agreements during fiscal year 1999 for adjacent buildings located in Vista, California. The facilities are leased from an unaffiliated third party and consist of a total of approximately 74,000 square feet. The lease for the first building, 1215 Park Center Drive, commenced in August 1998 under a 5-year lease agreement for the rental of approximately 54,000 square feet that is utilized as a warehousing and blending facility. The lease for the second building, 1211C Park Center Drive, commenced in March 1999 under a 4.5-year lease agreement for the rental of approximately 20,000 square feet that is utilized as a packaging facility. In June 2003 we exercised our option to extend the lease terms for both facilities for an additional five years ending June 2008.

On October 27, 2003 we entered into a new lease, which includes the previous space and an additional 46,000 square feet available for manufacturing activities. The new lease will begin April 2004 at 1215 Park Center Drive contiguous to our existing space utilized

7

for warehousing and blending. The new space will be utilized for tableting and encapsulation, which are currently located in San Marcos, CA. The new lease provides for a total of 120,000 square feet through March of 2014.

Under the new lease we are required to deliver a Letter of Credit, as collateral, in the amount of $330,000 before January 5, 2004. The amount of the Letter of Credit will automatically reduce by 33.3% per year.

Minimum rental commitments as of October 27, 2003, (exclusive of property tax, insurance and maintenance) under all non-cancelable operating leases, including the new lease agreement referred to above, (with initial or remaining lease terms in excess of one year) are set forth below (dollars in thousands):

H.    Contingencies

We were a plaintiff in an anti-trust lawsuit against several manufacturers of vitamins and other raw materials that we purchased. Other similarly situated companies filed a number of similar lawsuits against some or all of the same manufacturers. Our lawsuit was consolidated with some of the others and captioned In re: Vitamin Antitrust Litigation. As of June 30, 2003 all of the Company’s claims under the Vitamin Antitrust Litigation were settled. Settlement payments received by the Company of $225,000 are included in proceeds from vitamin antitrust litigation in the accompanying statements of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2002.

From time to time, we become involved in various investigations, claims and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business. These matters may relate to product liability, employment, intellectual property, tax, regulation, contract or other matters. The resolution of these matters as they arise will be subject to various uncertainties. While unfavorable outcomes are possible, we believe the resolution of these matters, individually or in the aggregate, will not result in a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

ITEM  2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis is intended to help you understand our financial condition and results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2003. You should read the following discussion and analysis together with our unaudited financial statements and the notes to the financial statements included under Item 1 in this report, as well as the information included in our 2003 Annual Report. Our future financial condition and results of operations will vary from our historical financial condition and results of operations as described below.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of our financial statements requires that we make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our financial statements and their accompanying notes. We have identified certain policies that we believe are important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations. These policies require the application of significant judgment by our management. We base our estimates on our historical experience, industry standards, and various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. An adverse effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, and results of operations could occur if circumstances change that alter the various assumptions or conditions used in such estimates or assumptions.

Our critical accounting policies are discussed under Item 7 of our 2003 Annual Report. There have been no significant changes to these policies during the three months ended September 30, 2003.

Recent Developments

On October 27, 2003, in an effort to enhance our manufacturing capacity and improve the efficiency of our operations, we amended our Vista, California property leases to increase the square footage by an additional 46,000 square feet. The total leased property in Vista, California increased from approximately 74,000 square feet to approximately 120,000 square feet. The new lease, including the additional space, commences on April 1, 2004 and has a term of ten years. The new space will be utilized for tableting and encapsulation, which are currently located in San Marcos, CA.

Additionally, we continue to evaluate expansion opportunities that could increase product lines, enhance our manufacturing capabilities or reduce risks associated with reliance on a limited number of customers.

Results of Operations – Three Months Ended September 30, 2003 vs. Three Months Ended September 30, 2002

Net Sales

	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2003		2002
	(in thousands)
Private Label Contract Manufacturing	$	13,718	$	10,525
Direct-to-Consumer Marketing Program		3,003		2,611
Total Net Sales	$	16,721	$	13,136

Our total net sales increased $3.6 million, or 27%, during the three months ended September 30, 2003, compared to the comparable period ended September 30, 2002. The net sales growth resulted from a $3.2 million, or 30%, increase in our private label contract manufacturing sales and a $392,000, or 15%, increase in net sales from our direct-to-consumer marketing program. Our private label contract manufacturing sales increase was due primarily to new product sales together with an increase in the volume of established products for our two largest customers. Our direct-to-consumer marketing program increase was due primarily to the introduction of four new direct-to-consumer products.

10

Gross Profit

	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2003			2002
	(in thousands)
Gross Profit	$	4,146		$	3,195
As a Percentage of Net Sales		24.8	%		24.3	%

The improvement in gross profit margin to 24.8% from 24.3% was due to additional fixed cost leverage on higher net sales and improved efficiency from investments in our packaging operations. Our direct and indirect manufacturing expenses were 21.2% and 22.9% of net sales in the three months ended September 30, 2003 and September 30, 2002, respectively. Our material costs as a percentage of net sales was 54% in the three months ended September 30, 2003 ($9.0 million) and 52.7% in the three months ended September 30, 2002 ($6.9 million).

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $3.5 million (21% of net sales) in the three months ended September 30, 2003, compared to $2.8 million (21.3% of net sales) in the three months ended September 30, 2002. The increase in absolute dollars was primarily due to increases in direct-to-consumer fulfillment costs of $84,000 associated with incremental sales, additional direct-to-consumer media and production costs of $198,000 to market the Dr. Cherry’s Pathway to Healing^TM brand in several new television markets, sales personnel costs of $90,000, research and development personnel and professional costs of $173,000 for strengthening regulatory compliance, insurance premiums of $71,000, and $65,000 for public company reporting and compliance matters.

Income from Operations

Our income from operations was $630,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2003, compared to $403,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2002. The improvement in our income from operations was due to the increase in gross profit of $951,000 from improved gross margin on higher net sales, partially offset by incremental selling, general and administrative expenses of $724,000.

Net Income

Our net income was $567,000 ($0.09 per diluted share) in the three months ended September 30, 2003 compared to $537,000 ($0.09 per diluted share) in the three months ended September 30, 2002. Excluding the effect of the litigation settlement proceeds in the prior period, net income increased $255,000 from $312,000 ($0.05 per diluted share).

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our working capital increased in the three months ended September 30, 2003 to $13.1 million versus $12.3 million at June 30, 2003. Cash and cash equivalents decreased $2.3 million primarily as a result of an increase of $2.6 million in inventory. Inventory increased primarily due to customer requirements and anticipated revenue growth.

Accounts receivable increased $482,000 due to higher net sales in the three months ended September 30, 2003, as compared with the three months ended June 30, 2003 while days sales outstanding remained consistent. Accounts payable as a percentage of inventory was 51% at September 30, 2003 versus 64% at June 30, 2003 due to timing of disbursements to vendors.

Approximately $400,000 of our operating cash flow was generated by NAIE in the three months ended September 30, 2003. There are currently no material restrictions on the transfer of these funds within the Company.

Capital expenditures for the three months ended September 30, 2003 were approximately $394,000. These expenditures were primarily for the continuing investment in our domestic manufacturing of approximately $371,000. We plan on significantly increasing capital expenditures in the remaining nine months of fiscal 2004 to expand manufacturing capacity and improve efficiency in encapsulation, tableting and packaging operations.

Our consolidated debt decreased to $2.8 million at September 30, 2003 from $3.0 million at June 30, 2003. Our consolidated debt of $2.8 million was comprised of a $731,000 term loan secured by a building and a $2.1 million term loan included in our new credit facility. We have a $6.5 million credit facility expiring in October 2004. The facility includes a $4.0 million working capital line of credit and a $2.5 million term loan and is secured by all of our assets. The working capital line of credit is subject to eligibility requirements for current accounts receivable and inventory balances. As of September 30, 2003, we had $4.0 million available under the line of credit. The interest rate on the line of credit and the term loan is prime plus 0.5%.

We plan on funding our current working capital needs, capital expenditures and debt payments using cash flow from operations and our existing credit facility. Additionally, we are evaluating expanding our credit facility to provide sufficient capital for our long-term growth strategies.

On June 24, 2003 we purchased option contracts designated as cash flow hedges to protect against the foreign currency exchange risk inherent in our forecasted transactions denominated in Euros. The option contracts had a notional amount of $1.5 million and a purchase price of $16,100. The premium associated with each option contract is amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the option, and mark-to-market amounts and realized gains or losses are recognized on the settlement date in foreign exchange gain (loss). The risk of loss associated with purchased options is limited to premium amounts paid for the option contracts. At September 30, 2003, the value of the purchased options of $1,300 was included in other current assets in the consolidated financial statements. There are no other derivative financial instruments at September 30, 2003.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet debt nor do we have any transactions, arrangements or relationships with any special purposes entities.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent accounting pronouncements are discussed under Item 7 of our 2003 Annual Report. As of September 30, 2003, we are not aware of any additional pronouncements that materially effect our financial position or results of operations.

Risks

You should carefully consider the risks described under Item 7 of our 2003 Annual Report, as well as the other information in our 2003 Annual Report and in this report, when evaluating our business and future prospects. If any of the identified risks actually occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be seriously harmed. In that event, the market price of our common stock could decline and you could lose all or a portion of the value of your investment in our common stock.

ITEM 3.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to market risk, which is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as foreign currency exchange and interest rates. We generally do not enter into derivatives or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. We may, however, enter into financial instruments to try to manage and reduce the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We cannot predict with any certainty our future exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange and interest rates or other market risks or the impact, if any, such fluctuations may have on our future business, product pricing, consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. The actual impact of any fluctuations in foreign currency exchange or interest rates may differ significantly from those discussed below.

Interest Rates

At September 30, 2003, we had fixed rate debt of $731,000 and variable rate debt of $2.1 million. The interest rate on our variable rate debt is equal to prime plus 0.5%, and was 4.5% as of September 30, 2003. An immediate one hundred basis point (1%) increase in the interest rate on our variable rate debt, holding other variables constant, would increase our annual interest expense by $5,400. Interest rates have been at or near historic lows in recent years. There can be no guarantee that interest rates will not rise. Any increase in interest rates may adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

Foreign Currencies

To the extent our business continues to expand outside the United States, an increasing share of our net sales and cost of sales will be transacted in currencies other than the United States dollar. Accounting practices require that our non-United States dollar-denominated transactions be converted to United States dollars for reporting purposes. Consequently, our reported net earnings may be significantly affected by fluctuations in currency exchange rates. When the United States dollar strengthens against currencies in which products are sold or weakens against currencies in which we incur costs, net sales and costs could be adversely affected.

Our main exchange rate exposures are with the Swiss Franc and the Euro against the United States dollar. This is due to NAIE’s operations in Switzerland and the payment in Euros by our largest customer for finished goods. Additionally, we pay our NAIE employees in Swiss Francs. We may enter into forward exchange contracts, foreign currency borrowings and option contracts to hedge our foreign currency risk. Our goal in seeking to manage foreign currency risk is to provide reasonable certainty to the functional currency value of foreign currency cash flows and to help stabilize the value of non-United States dollar-denominated earnings.

On June 24, 2003, we bought option contracts designated as cash flow hedges to protect against the foreign currency exchange risk inherent in a portion of our forecasted transactions denominated in Euros. The option contracts had a notional amount of $1.5 million and a purchase price of $16,100. The options allow us to sell $227,273 Euros a month for a period of six months at an exchange rate of 1.10 Euros to 1.00 United States dollar. The risk of loss associated with the options is limited to premium amounts paid for the option contracts. As of September 30, 2003, we had not exercised any of the options and three of the options had expired.

On September 30, 2003, the Swiss Franc closed at 1.32 to 1.00 United States dollar and the Euro closed at 0.86 to 1.00 United States dollar. A 10% adverse change to the exchange rates between the Swiss Franc and the Euro against the United States dollar would have decreased our earnings for the three months ended September 30, 2003 by $271,000.

ITEM 4.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We maintain certain disclosure controls and procedures. They are designed to help ensure that material information is: (1) gathered and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and financial officers, on a timely basis; and (2) recorded, processed, summarized, reported and filed with the SEC as required under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

13

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2003. Based on their evaluation, they concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective for their intended purpose described above. There were no changes to our internal controls during the quarterly period ended September 30, 2003 that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
