Explanation of Responses:

(1) In October 2000, the Company sold a $3 million Subordinated Promissory Note (the "Note") to Zatpack, Inc. ("Zatpack"). In
connection with the sale of the Note, Zatpack received an immediately exercisable warrant to purchase 992,789 shares of the
Company's common stock for a purchase price of $.5855 per share.

(2) In December 2001, the Company amended and restated its credit agreement (the "Amended Credit Agreement") with Wells Fargo Bank,
N.A. ("Wells Fargo"). As a condition to the closing of the Amended Credit Agreement, Wells Fargo required the payment of a closing
fee in the aggregate amount of $779,067 (the "Closing Fee"). Zatpack paid the Closing Fee in consideration of the issuance to
Zatpack of an immediately exercisable warrant to purchase 865,630 shares of the Company's common stock for a purchase price of $.01
per share.

(3) Zuellig Group N.A., Inc. ("ZGNA"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Zatpack, directly owns 988,471 shares of common stock. Zuellig
Botanicals, Inc. ("ZBI"), a wholly owned subsidiary of ZGNA directly owns 1,204,955 shares of common stock. By reason of the control
that Zatpack exercises of ZGNA, it may be deemed under Rule 16a-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act"), to
beneficially own all of the shares owned by ZGNA and ZBI. Therefore, Zatpack may be deemed to beneficially own 4,051,845 shares of
common stock, which includes the 1,858,419 shares obtainable by Zatpack upon exercise of the warrants discussed herein. This filing
shall not be deemed an admission by Zatpack that Zatpack is, for purposes of Section 16 or the Act, the beneficial owner of any
equity securities covered by this filing.
