PART IV - OTHER INFORMATION

   UPDATE -
   3.       The Registrant believes that due to the sale of the assets in
            April 1997 and a decrease in sales in Pharma Labs and Quality
            Care Pharmaceuticals, Inc., there will be a significant change
            in the results of operations from the same period during the
            last fiscal year which is summarized below:
