NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

A. Basis of Presentation and Summary of 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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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 and six months ended December 31, 2006 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, 2006 (“2006 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 2006 Annual Report unless otherwise noted below.

Certain reclassications to prior period information have been made to conform to current presentation. For the three and six months ended December 31, 2006, we reclassified $118,000 and $264,000, respectively, of shipping costs for our private label contract manufacturing sales from net sales to cost of goods sold on the Statements Of Income And Comprehensive Income in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Emerging Issue Task Force (EITF) No. 00-10, “Accounting for Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs.” Shipping costs of $77,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2005 and $244,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2005, were reclassified to conform to this presentation change.

Net Income per Common Share

We compute net income per common share in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, “Earnings Per Share.” This statement requires the presentation of basic income per common share, using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, and diluted net 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 (in thousands, except per share data):

Table of Contents

Shares related to stock options of 219,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2006, and 122,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2006, were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per common share, as the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

Shares related to stock options of 697,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2005, and 446,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2005, were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per common share, as the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

Stock-Based Compensation

We have an equity incentive plan under which we have granted nonqualified and incentive stock options to employees, non-employee directors and consultants. We also have an employee stock purchase plan. Effective July 1, 2005, we adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123R, “Share Based Payment” (SFAS 123R), using the modified-prospective-transition method. Under that transition method, compensation cost is recognized (a) for all stock-based awards granted before, but not yet vested as of, July 1, 2005, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation,” and (b) for all stock-based awards granted after July 1, 2005, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R. Results for prior periods have not been restated.

We estimated the fair value of the stock option awards at the date of grant and employee stock purchase plan shares at the beginning of the offering period 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. Black-Scholes utilizes assumptions related to volatility, the risk-free interest rate, the dividend yield (which is assumed to be zero, as we have not paid any cash dividends) and employee exercise behavior. Expected volatilities utilized in the model are based mainly on the historical volatility of our stock price and other factors. The risk-free interest rate is derived from the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect in the period of grant. The expected life of stock option grants is derived from historical and other factors.

Our net income has been reduced by stock based compensation expense of approximately $58,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2006 and $15,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2005. Our net income has been reduced by compensation expense of approximately $96,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2006 and $26,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2005.

B. Acquisition

On December 5, 2005, we acquired Real Health Laboratories, Inc. (RHL), an integrated direct marketer of branded nutritional supplements and other lifestyle products. RHL markets and distributes its own branded products as well as third party branded products, including a variety of high quality nutritional, beauty, skin care, exercise, lifestyle and other personal care products. RHL’s operations include in-house creative, catalog design, supply chain management and call center and fulfillment activities.

The aggregate consideration given to the selling stockholders of RHL by NAI in connection with the acquisition was approximately $8.7 million, consisting of cash in the amount of $5.8 million and the issuance of 510,000 shares of NAI’s authorized but unissued shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share. Additionally, NAI assumed $590,000 of RHL’s debt, which was repaid at the close of the acquisition, and agreed to pay $35,000 of the legal fees and expenses incurred by RHL and the selling stockholders in connection with the acquisition. At the close of the acquisition, RHL became a wholly owned subsidiary of NAI.

Table of Contents

The RHL acquisition was accounted for as a purchase business combination in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 “Business Combinations.” Assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their fair values as of December 5, 2005 based on a preliminary valuation using management’s estimates and assumptions and were subject to adjustment as certain preacquisition contingencies had not yet been finalized. In November 2006, the purchase price allocation was completed resulting in an increase of goodwill of approximately $289,000. The adjustment to the purchase price allocation resulted primarily from the finalization of the valuation of a pre-acquisition contingency related to the potential return of product from a rebate program offered by RHL prior to the acquisition date to introduce a new product and develop the RHL brand. During the allocation period, we obtained the necessary post rebate program follow on sales data needed to complete the analysis of the contingency and adjusted the preliminary purchase price allocation accordingly. The final allocation of the purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at December 5, 2005 as follows (in thousands):

C. Goodwill and Purchased Intangibles

Goodwill and other acquisition-related intangibles as of December 31, 2006 were as follows (dollars in thousands):

The estimated future amortization expense of purchased intangible assets as of December 31, 2006 was as follows (in thousands):

F. Debt

We amended our credit facility on December 1, 2005 and again on March 29, 2006 to increase our working capital line of credit from $8.0 million to $12.0 million, extend the maturity date from November 1, 2006 to November 1, 2007 and modify certain financial covenants. We also obtained an additional $3.8 million term loan on December 5, 2005, to fund, in part, the cash purchase price of the RHL acquisition.

As a result of the amendments and additional term loan, our bank credit facility increased to a total of $20.9 million, comprised of a $12.0 million working capital line of credit and $8.9 million in term loans. The working capital line of credit is secured by our accounts receivable and other rights to payment, general intangibles, inventory and equipment, has an interest rate of Prime Rate or LIBOR plus 1.75%, as elected by NAI from time to time, and borrowings are subject to eligibility requirements for current accounts receivable and inventory balances. The term loans consist of a $1.1 million fifteen year term loan due June 2011, secured by our San Marcos building, at an interest rate of 8.25%; a $700,000 ten year term loan with a twenty year amortization, secured by our San Marcos building, at an interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.25%; a $1.8 million four year term loan, secured by our accounts receivable and other rights to payment, general intangibles, inventory and equipment, at an interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.10%; a $1.5 million five year term loan, secured by equipment, at an interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.10%; and the $3.8 million four year term loan, secured by equipment, at an interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.10%. Monthly payments on the term loans are approximately $138,000 plus interest.

On January 24, 2007, we further amended our credit facility to extend the maturity date for the working capital line of credit from November 1, 2007 to November 1, 2008, and maintain the ratio of total liabilities/tangible net worth covenant at 1.25/1.0 for the remainder of the term of the credit facility.

As of December 31, 2006, the amount outstanding on the working capital line of credit was $2.0 million and the amount outstanding on the term loans was $5.5 million. As of December 31, 2006, we had $5.1 million available under the line of credit, net of a $134,000 outstanding letter of credit issued to our landlord.

On September 22, 2006, NAIE, our wholly owned subsidiary, entered into a credit facility to provide it with a credit line of up to CHF 1,300,000, or approximately $1.0 million, which is the initial maximum aggregate amount that can be outstanding at any one time under the credit facility. This maximum amount will be reduced by CHF 160,000, or approximately $128,000, at the end of each year beginning on December 31, 2007. As of December 31, 2006, there was no outstanding balance under the credit facility.

The composite interest rate on all of our outstanding debt was 7.84% at December 31, 2006, and 6.36% at December 31, 2005.

G. Defined Benefit Pension Plan

We sponsor a defined benefit pension plan that provides retirement benefits to employees based generally on years of service and compensation during the last five years before retirement. Effective June 20, 1999, our Board of Directors amended the plan to freeze the accrued benefit of each plan member at its then current amount and to no longer allow inactive plan members or other employees to become active members of the plan. We contribute an amount not less than the minimum funding requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 nor more than the maximum tax-deductible amount.

The components included in the net periodic benefit for the periods ended December 31 were as follows (in thousands):

H. Economic Dependency

We had substantial net sales to certain customers during the periods shown in the following table. The loss of any of these customers, or a significant decline in net sales or the growth rate of net sales to these customers could have a material adverse impact on our net sales and net income. Net sales to any one customer representing 10% or more of the respective period’s total net sales were as follows (dollars in thousands):

We buy certain products from a limited number of raw material suppliers. The loss of any of these suppliers could have a material adverse impact on our net sales and net income. Raw material purchases from any one supplier representing 10% or more of the respective period’s total raw material purchases were as follows (dollars in thousands):

I. Segment Information

Before the first quarter of fiscal 2007, our business consisted of two reportable segments, as defined by SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,” identified as NAI and RHL, which was acquired on December 5, 2005.

Effective July 1, 2006, we changed our reporting segments to reflect the structure of our internal organization after the integration of previously outsourced fulfillment and call center activities for our Dr. Cherry Pathway to Healing^® product line into RHL’s existing operations. The new reportable segments are as follows:

We evaluate performance based on a number of factors, the primary performance measures for each segment being net sales and income or loss from operations (prior to corporate allocations). Operating income or loss for each segment does not include corporate general and administrative expenses, interest expense and other miscellaneous income and expense items. Corporate general and administrative expenses include, but are not limited to: human resources, legal, finance, information technology, and various other corporate level related expenses, which are not allocated to either segment. The accounting policies of our segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in Note A to the consolidated financial statements included in our 2006 Annual Report.

Our operating results by business segment shown below for the three and six months ended December 31, 2005 have been restated to reflect our new reporting segments, with the exception of the information on total assets as we believe it would be impractical to restate such information. Accordingly, the total asset information is provided only for our new reporting segments as of December 31, 2006. Our operating results by business segment were as follows (in thousands):

Our private label contract manufacturing products are sold both in the United States and in markets outside the United States, including Europe, Australia and Japan. Our primary market outside the United States is Europe. Our branded products are sold in the United States.

Net sales by geographic region, based on the customers’ locations, were as follows (in thousands):

Products manufactured by NAIE accounted for approximately 40% of net sales in markets outside the United States for the three months ended December 31, 2006, and 47% for the three months ended December 31, 2005. NAIE accounted for 45% of net sales in markets outside the United States for the six months ended December 31, 2006, and 48% for the six months ended December 31, 2005. No products manufactured by NAIE were sold in the United States during the six months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005.

Assets and capital expenditures by geographic region, based on the location of the company or subsidiary at which they were located or made, were as follows (in thousands):

J. Contingencies

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 and, even if such claims are without merit, could result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources. While unfavorable outcomes are possible, based on available information, we generally do not believe the resolution of these matters will result in a material adverse effect on our business, consolidated financial condition, or results of operation. However, a settlement payment or unfavorable outcome could adversely impact our results of operation. Our evaluation of the likely impact of these actions could change in the future and we could have unfavorable outcomes that we do not expect.

As of January 30, 2007, neither NAI nor its subsidiaries were a party to any material pending legal proceeding nor was any of their property the subject of any material pending legal proceeding.

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 and six months ended December 31, 2006. You should read the following discussion and analysis together with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements included under Item 1 in this report, as well as the risk factors and other information included in our 2006 Annual Report and other reports and documents we file with the SEC. Our future financial condition and results of operations will vary from our historical financial condition and results of operations described below.

Executive Overview

The following overview does not address all of the matters covered in the other sections of this Item 2 or other items in this report or contain all of the information that may be important to our stockholders or the investing public. This overview should be read in conjunction with the other sections of this Item 2 and this report.

Our primary business activity has been to provide private label contract manufacturing services to companies that market and distribute vitamins, minerals, herbs and other nutritional supplements, as well as other health care products, to consumers both within and outside the United States. Historically, our revenue has been largely dependent on sales to one or two private label contract manufacturing customers and subject to variations in the timing of such customers’ orders, which in turn is impacted by such customers’ internal marketing programs, supply chain management, entry into new markets and new product introductions.

A cornerstone of our business strategy is to achieve long-term growth and diversify our sales. We have sought and expect to continue to seek to diversify our sales both by developing relationships with additional, quality-oriented, private label contract manufacturing customers and developing and growing our own line of branded products. To that end, during fiscal 2006, we established relationships with two new private label contract manufacturing customers, and completed our acquisition of RHL, an integrated direct marketer of its own and third party branded nutritional supplements and other lifestyle products.

During the first six months of fiscal 2007, we achieved an 18% increase in our net sales over the comparable period last year. While we are pleased with our revenue growth, we also believe the source of the growth is important in the context of our overall business strategy. We saw sales from our branded products contribute approximately half of the 18% growth we achieved, primarily as a result of our acquisition of RHL, and saw sales to new private label contract manufacturing relationships established in fiscal 2006 contribute to an increase in our overall private label contract manufacturing sales. As a result, net sales to our two largest private label contract manufacturing customers as a percentage of our total net sales decreased to 71% from 79% in the comparable six month period last year.

We completed our integration of previously outsourced call center activities for our Dr. Cherry Pathway to Healing^® product line into RHL’s existing operation during the first quarter of fiscal 2007. While we expect to realize cost savings from the integration of previously outsourced activities, we anticipate any future savings will be invested in further expanding and marketing our branded products.

Income from operations increased 18% over the comparable six month period last year primarily due to incremental sales in our private label contract manufacturing business. The increase in income from operations of 18% over the comparable six month period was partially offset by additional interest expense relating to the acquisition of RHL and carrying costs of accounts receivable and inventory for one of the new private label contract manufacturing customers.

We believe our acquisition of RHL marked a significant advance in our efforts to achieve long-term growth and diversify our net sales by developing our own branded products sales and expanding our distribution channels. In addition to the cost savings we hope to achieve through our integration efforts and the elimination of duplicative costs, we also hope to achieve benefits related to the leading branded products in the FDM retail channel, the additional expertise in the direct marketing and retail channels, and the access to additional direct marketing and mass-market channels for our products and concepts that we acquired in the acquisition.

Table of Contents

During the remainder of fiscal 2007, we plan to continue to focus on:

Looking forward, while there can be no assurance we will be able to continue to diversify our sales, that our new customer relationships will generate future sales or that we will realize all of the benefits we hope to realize from our RHL acquisition, we remain optimistic and expect to continue our long-term trend of annual revenue growth. However, we anticipate quarterly revenue fluctuations due to, among other things, the timing of customer orders and other factors.

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 2006 Annual Report. There have been no significant changes to these policies during the six months ended December 31, 2006.

Results of Operations

The results of our operations for the periods ended December 31 were as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):
