7 8 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 September 30, 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. During fiscal 1997, the assets and liabilities of each of the subsidiaries were transferred to the Company and their operations were assumed by the Company. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions for the three months ended September 30, 1996 have been eliminated. NOTE 3 - INVENTORIES Inventories are comprised of:

8 9 NATURAL ALTERNATIVES INTERNATIONAL, INC. PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 4 - NET EARNINGS PER SHARE Primary earnings per share is 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. Fully diluted earnings per share reflect additional dilution related to common stock equivalents due to the use of the market price at the end of the period, when higher than the average price for the period. Common stock options and common stock purchase warrants are excluded from the computation of net earnings per share if their effect is anti-dilutive. The weighted average number of shares outstanding and common stock equivalents are as follows:
For the Three Months Ended September 30 1997 1996 --------- --------- Primary and fully diluted 5,675,789 5,653,956
NOTE 5 - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY Effective June 5, 1992, the Company adopted the 1992 Incentive Stock Option Plan for which 500,000 common shares have been reserved for issuance to officers, directors, and key employees of the Company.

On September 9, 1993, 200,000 options were granted at the fair market value price of $4.875 per share. Also effective June 5, 1992, the Company adopted the 1992 Nonqualified Stock Option Plan and reserved a total of 250,000 common shares for issuance to officers, employees, and consultants of the Company. On September 9, 1993, 250,000 options were granted at the fair market value price of $4.875 per share.

NOTE 6 - PENSION PLAN Effective January 1, 1997, the Company adopted a defined benefit pension plan (the "Plan") covering substantially all of its employees. The benefits are based on years of service and the employee's compensation during the five years before retirement. The Company will make annual contributions to the Plan equal to the maximum amount that can be deducted for income tax purposes. For the three months ended September 30, 1997, the estimated current service cost (normal cost) and the amortized portion of the unfunded estimated accrued liability for prior service cost, using a 30-year funding period, amounted to $79,000. This amount has been accrued in the current period. 10 11 NATURAL ALTERNATIVES INTERNATIONAL, INC.

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 FIRST QUARTER OF FISCAL 1998 AND 1997 The Company's consolidated net sales for the quarter ended September 30, 1997, amounted to $12.0 million, an increase of $.6 million over the $11.4 million generated during the quarter ended September 30, 1996. The 5% increase in sales is primarily attributable to the ramping up of the Company's new tablet manufacturing facility, which helped boost sales in Asia, and sales to new customers. International sales for the quarter ended September 30, 1997, amounted to $3.6 million compared to $.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1996. The increases in sales from international and new customer business were partially offset by decreased sales to certain other customers. Gross profit margins were 26.3% for the quarter ended September 30, 1997, compared to 28.5% for the quarter ended September 30, 1996. The decrease in margins was due to cost increases incurred in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1997 for certain raw materials and for subcontracted packaging. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased as a percentage of revenues to 18.3% for the quarter ended September 30, 1997 from 15.3% for the quarter ended September 30, 1996. The increase of $459,000 was primarily due to expenses associated with the employee pension plan, which was adopted on January 1, 1997, and higher depreciation and other start-up expenses connected with the new tablet manufacturing facility. Net earnings for the quarter ended September 30, 1997, amounted to $.6 million, a $.3 million decrease from the $.9 million in net earnings produced for the quarter ended September 30, 1996. The decrease in net earnings was due primarily to the decline in gross profit margins and the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses discussed above. Earnings per share for the quarter ended September 30, 1997, was $.11 compared to $.16 for the quarter ended September 30, 1996. The decrease was due to the reasons discussed above. 12 13 NATURAL ALTERNATIVES INTERNATIONAL, INC. PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES At September 30, 1997, the Company had working capital of $11,298,000 compared to $11,439,000 as of June 30, 1997. Decreases in cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable were offset by an increase in inventories and a decrease in accounts payable. Inventory levels at September 30, 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 $600,000 for additional production equipment that is expected to be placed in service in the second quarter of fiscal 1998. 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 September 30, 1997 was 8.5%. The lines of credit expire on December 5, 1997; management expects such lines to be renewed in the normal course of business. The company had no borrowings at September 30, 1997, or at June 30, 1997, under these credit lines. 13 14 NATURAL ALTERNATIVES INTERNATIONAL, INC. PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS The Company is involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, based in part on the advice of counsel, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, operations or cash flows. ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES None. ITEM 3. DEFAULTS BY THE COMPANY ON ITS SENIOR SECURITIES None. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS None. ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION None. ITEM 6. EXHIBITS AND REPORTS ON FORM 8-K (a) Exhibits: The following exhibits are filed herewith: 11.0. Computation of weighted average common shares outstanding. 27.0.
