PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature considered necessary for a fair presentation, have been included. It is suggested that these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 1997. The results of operations for the periods ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year. Certain amounts in prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period financial statements. NOTE 2 - PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Millennium Health International, Inc. (formerly Pro-Lean, Inc. and prior to that Sonergy, Inc.), CellLife International, Inc. and CellLife Pharmaceuticals International, Inc. all of which had been administered and operated out of the Company's facilities.

8 9 NATURAL ALTERNATIVES INTERNATIONAL, INC. PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 4 - NET EARNINGS PER SHARE Pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 ("SFAS No. 128"), financial statements for periods ending after December 15, 1997 must reflect basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share as defined. Accordingly, basic earnings per share has been computed based upon the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period and diluted earnings per share has been computed based upon the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period plus the dilutive effects of common shares contingently issuable from stock options. Prior period amounts have been restated to conform to SFAS No. 128. Common stock options are excluded from the computation of net earnings per share if their effect is anti-dilutive. Basic and diluted earnings per share have been calculated as follows:

PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Except for the historical information contained herein, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. The Company's actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in this section and those discussed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS SECOND QUARTER OF FISCAL 1998 AND 1997 The Company's consolidated net sales for the quarter ended December 31, 1997, amounted to $16.3 million, an increase of $3.7 million over the $12.6 million generated during the quarter ended December 31, 1996. The 29% increase in sales is evenly divided between sales to existing customers and sales to new customers. International sales for the quarter ended December 31, 1997, amounted to $4.3 million compared to $.5 million for the quarter ended December 31, 1996. The increase in international sales is primarily from expansion into foreign markets by existing customers. Gross profit margins were 27.3% for the quarter ended December 31, 1997, compared to 25.5% for the quarter ended December 31, 1996. The increase in margins was due to manufacturing cost efficiencies. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased as a percentage of net sales to 13.4% for the quarter ended December 31, 1997 from 14.4% for the quarter ended December 31, 1996. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased from $1.8 million in 1996 to $2.2 million in 1997. The increase was primarily due to expenses associated with the employee pension plan, which was adopted on January 1, 1997, and higher depreciation and other expenses connected with the start-up of the new tablet manufacturing facility. Net earnings for the quarter ended December 31, 1997, amounted to $1.4 million, a $.6 million increase from the $.8 million in net earnings produced for the quarter ended December 31, 1996. The increase in net earnings was due primarily to the growth in gross profit partially offset by the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses discussed above. Diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended December 31, 1997, was $.24 compared to $.15 for the quarter ended December 31, 1996. The increase was due to the reasons discussed above. SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 AND 1996 The Company's consolidated net sales for the six months ended December 31, 1997, amounted to $28.3 million, an increase of $4.2 million over the $24.1 million generated during the six months ended December 31, 1996. The 18% increase in sales is primarily attributable to sales to new customers. International sales for the six months ended December 31, 1997, amounted to $8.0 million compared to $.8 million for the six months ended December 31, 1996. The increase in international sales is primarily from expansion into foreign markets by existing customers. Gross profit margins were 26.8% for the six months ended December 31, 1997, compared to 26.9% for the six months ended December 31, 1996. 13 14 NATURAL ALTERNATIVES INTERNATIONAL, INC. PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued) Selling, general and administrative expenses increased as a percentage of net sales to 15.5% for the six months ended December 31, 1997 from 14.8% for the six months ended December 31, 1996. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased from $3.6 million in 1996 to $4.4 million in 1997. The increase was primarily due to expenses associated with the employee pension plan, which was adopted on January 1, 1997, and higher depreciation and other expenses connected with the start-up of the new tablet manufacturing facility. Net earnings for the six months ended December 31, 1997, amounted to $2.0 million, a $.2 million increase from the $1.8 million in net earnings for the six months ended December 31, 1996. The increase in net earnings was due primarily to the growth in gross profit margins partially offset by the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses discussed above. Diluted earnings per share for the six months ended December 31, 1997, was $.35 compared to $.31 for the six months ended December 31, 1996. The increase was due to the reasons discussed above. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES At December 31, 1997, the Company had working capital of $12,499,000 compared to $11,439,000 as of June 30, 1997. An increase in inventories was offset by decreases in cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable and an increase in accounts payable and income taxes payable. Inventory levels at December 31, 1997, compared to sales, increased moderately relative to historical levels, due principally to increased stocking for fulfillment of an increased sales order backlog. The Company has purchase commitments approximating $650,000 for additional production equipment that is expected to be placed in service in the third quarter. These expenditures are expected to be funded from cash flow from operating activities. The Company believes it has sufficient sources of funds to finance its ongoing operations and meet its capital asset purchases, as well as future growth through a combination of internally generated cash flow, revolving lines of credit and equipment financing. The Company has revolving line of credit agreements permitting borrowings up to $3,000,000, which are secured by the Company's receivables, inventory, equipment, and vehicles and bear interest at the bank's prime rate. The bank's prime rate at December 31, 1997 was 8.5%. The lines of credit expire in January 1999.
