                          CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

Boards of Directors
Nu Skin Acquired Entities

We have audited the  accompanying  combined  balance  sheet of Nu Skin  Acquired
Entities  (collectively,  the Entities) as of December 31, 1997, and the related
combined statements of earnings,  shareholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows
for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996.  These financial  statements are
the responsibility of the Entities' management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted  auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion,  the financial  statements  referred to above present fairly, in
all material  respects,  the  combined  financial  position of Nu Skin  Acquired
Entities as of December 31, 1997, and the combined  results of their  operations
and their combined cash flows for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
