Item 5. Other Events.

     In April and June 2002, Hauser, Inc. (the "Company") defaulted under the
Company's Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Amended Credit Facility"),
which it entered into with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. ("Wells Fargo") on December 7,
2001, and which provided for a $10,750,000 revolving credit. The defaults
occurred because the Company failed to make $1.9 million of a $3.0 million
payment on April 30, 2002, as required by the $7,804,438 term note, and was not
in compliance with its cash flow covenant for the quarter ending June 30, 2002.

     On June 25, 2002, in consideration of a waiver by Wells Fargo of these
events of default, the Company amended the terms of the Amended Credit Facility
(the "Amendment"). Pursuant to the Amendment, both the term note and the
revolving line of credit will mature on August 31, 2002. Specifically, the
Amendment extends the maturity date of the term note from June 30, 2002 to
August 31, 2002 and amends the maturity date of the revolving line of credit
from August 31, 2003 to August 31, 2002. The Company is engaged in discussions,
including regarding the sale of the Shuster Laboratories division of Hauser
Technical Services, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, which could
result in the Company obtaining funds to pay the outstanding loans to Wells
Fargo in August 2002 and permit the Company to obtain a new line of credit to
finance operations. There can be no assurance that the requisite funds will be
obtained. Arthur Andersen LLP, auditors for the Company, has issued a modified
opinion in connection with the audit of the fiscal year March 31, 2002, which
states that there is a substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to
continue as a going concern.
