                         INSERTS TO HEALTHRITE FORM 8-K

Item 5. Other Events

     On January 19, 2000, HealthRite, Inc. ("HealthRite") issued 552,757 shares
of its Series "B" Voting Preferred Convertible Stock (the "Series B Stock") in a
private placement to DS Capital Investors ("DS") at a purchase price of $1.00
per share.

     375,000 shares of the Series B Stock were issued in the conversion of a
$375,000 secured loan from DS to Jason Pharmaceuticals, a HealthRite subsidiary.
The other 177,757 shares of the Series B Stock were issued in exchange for a
cash investment of $177,757 in HealthRite.

     Each share of the Series B Stock has four votes, giving the 552,757
outstanding shares a total of 2,211,028 votes.

     The Series B Stock is convertible into HealthRite common stock after
January 19, 2001 at a conversion price of the lesser of:

     o    75% of the then market price of the common stock, or

     o    $.50 per share.

     The Series B Stock is entitled to a cumulative dividend of 10% per annum,
payable at the time of conversion.

     The shares of Series B Stock are restricted securities and do not have
registration rights.

     HealthRite believes that the conversion of the bridge loan and the
additional capital investment in HealthRite was instrumental in restructuring
HealthRite's finances and avoiding the insolvency of its Jason Pharmaceuticals
subsidiary.
