                         Report of Independent Auditors



To the Board of Directors
Acirca, Inc.


We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets to be sold of Acirca,
Inc. as of December 31, 2002 and 2001 and the related statements of operations,
stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period
ended December 31, 2002. These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
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 net assets to be sold of Acirca, Inc. at December 31,
2002 and 2001 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of
the two years in the period ended December 31, 2002 in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

                                December 31, 2002

1.   Nature of Business, Organization and Basis of Presentation

     Acirca, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in the state of Delaware on
     May 11, 2000. The Company was formed for the purpose of developing and
     providing high quality organic foods for customers. The mission of the
     Company is to create the most valuable organic brands by focusing on equity
     building, product innovation, distribution ubiquity and consumer loyalty.

     In April 2002, the Company acquired all of the assets of the Organic
     Ingredients ("OI") division of Spectrum Organic Products, Inc. As discussed
     in Note 14, in June 2003, The Hain Celestial Group, Inc. ("Hain") acquired
     the Company, except for the OI business which was retained by the sellers.
     Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements present the historical
     financial information of the business acquired by Hain, as adjusted to
     eliminate the assets and liabilities and results of operations of OI, which
     were retained by the sellers. The net assets of OI distributed to the
     stockholders of the Company in June of 2003 has been recorded as an
     adjustment to reflect assets not sold in the accompanying Statements of
     Stockholders' Equity for the year ended December 31, 2002. OI incurred a
     pre-tax loss of approximately $26,000 in 2002.

     All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated
     in consolidation.

2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

     Use of Estimates
     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
     principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to
     make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the
     financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ
     from those estimates.

     Cash and Cash Equivalents
     Cash and cash equivalents include cash on deposit which the Company invests
     in an overnight investment account with a commercial bank.

     Revenue Recognition
     Revenues are derived from the distribution and sale of organic foods
     throughout North America to retail and specialty food stores. Product sales
     are recorded when the products are shipped to independently owned and
     operated food distributors and customers, net of any discounts and
     allowances. The Company records as revenue amounts billed to customers for
     shipping and handling charges. Amounts incurred for shipping and handling
     charges are included in cost of goods sold.


                                      F-7

                                  Acirca, Inc.
             Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)


     Inventories
     Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market using the first-in
     first-out ("FIFO") method.

     Fair Value of Financial Instruments
     The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and
     accounts payable approximate their fair value due to the short-term
     maturity of such instruments. The carrying amount of debt approximates its
     fair market value based on the Company's current borrowing rates for
     similar types of borrowing arrangements.

     Concentrations of Credit Risks
     Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to
     concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, cash
     equivalents, and accounts receivable. Concentrations of credit risk with
     respect to accounts receivable are limited due to credit insurance
     coverage, the large number of customers comprising the Company's customer
     base and ongoing credit evaluations of its customers. An allowance for
     doubtful accounts is determined with respect to those amounts that the
     Company has determined to be doubtful of collection.

     Cash and cash equivalents are invested in major banks in the United States.
     At times, total deposits maintained exceed the amount insured by federal
     agencies. Management believes that the financial institutions that hold the
     Company's investments are financially sound and, accordingly, minimal
     credit risk exists with respect to these investments.

     Property, Plant and Equipment
     Property, plant and equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated on a
     straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives as follows:

     Orchards                             20 years
     Computer equipment and software      3-5 years
     Furniture and equipment              8-20 years
     Leasehold Improvements               shorter of the estimated useful life
                                          or the term of the lease

     Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.

     Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
     Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of
     net assets acquired. Amortization of intangible assets is provided using
     the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, which range
     from 1 to 20 years. The Company evaluates the recoverability of intangible
     assets based on projected undiscounted operating cash flows whenever events
     or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be
     recoverable. Effective January 1, 2002, the Company ceased amortization of
     goodwill in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial
     Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible
     Assets. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, no amortization of goodwill was
     recorded for acquisitions subsequent to June 30, 2001 (See Note 11).

      Amortization expense was $3,891,818 and $2,378,452 for the years ended
      December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

      Management of the Company determined that there is no impairment of the
      carrying value of goodwill and intangible assets considering the sale of
      the Company as discussed in Note 14.

      Advertising and Promotional Expenses
      Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising and promotional
      expenses of $4,213,000 and $4,156,215 are included in Marketing and
      promotion expenses in the Statements of Operations for the years ended
      December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

      Stock Based Compensation
      The Company accounts for employee stock based compensation in accordance
      with the intrinsic value based method proscribed by Accounting Principles
      Board Opinion ("APB") No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. In
      2002, no stock based employee compensation expense was recorded in the
      Statements of Operations as all options granted had an exercise price
      equal to or greater than the fair market value of the underlying common
      stock on the date of grant as determined by the Board of Directors.

      The Company adopted the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 148, Accounting
      for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure which amends SFAS
      No. 123, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation in 2002. SFAS No. 148
      provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the
      fair value based method of accounting for stock based employee
      compensation, which was originally provided for under SFAS

             Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)


     No. 123. The adoption of these disclosure provisions had no impact on the
     Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

     Significant assumptions related to the determination of the fair value of
     the options and their impact on earnings are as follows:



                                                       ------------------------------ -----------------------------
                                                       December 31, 2002              December 31, 2001
                                                       ------------------------------ -----------------------------
                                                                                           
        Risk free interest rate                                    3.00%                         4.50%
        Expected life of options (in years)                          8                             8
        Dividend yield                                               -                             -



      Had the Company accounted for its stock options using the fair value
      method as proscribed by SFAS No. 123 the Company's net loss would not have
      been significantly different in 2002 and 2001.

      The effect on the 2002 and 2001 net loss amounts of expensing the fair
      market value of stock options is not necessarily representative of the
      effect on reported earnings in future years due to the vesting period of
      stock options and the potential for issuance of additional stock options
      in future years.

      Loss Per Common Share
      Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing the loss applicable to
      common shareholders by the weighted-average common shares outstanding
      during the period. As the Company recorded a net loss applicable to common
      shares for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, diluted loss per
      common share is equal to basic loss per common share, due to the exclusion
      of all potential common shares, which would reduce the net loss per share,
      in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share.

      Income Taxes
      The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109,
      Accounting for Income Taxes. This Statement requires the use of the
      liability method whereby deferred tax asset and liability account balances
      are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax
      bases of assets and liabilities measured using the enacted tax rates and
      laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.
      A valuation allowance reducing deferred tax assets to their estimated
      realizable value is recorded when the realization of the asset is not
      considered to be more likely than not.

      Reclassifications
      Certain amounts reported in the financial statements for the fiscal year
      ended December 31, 2001 have been reclassified to conform to the 2002
      presentation.

6.   Revolving Line of Credit

      In August 2002, the Company entered into a bank Revolving Credit Agreement
      ("Agreement"). The Agreement allows for a maximum amount of borrowings, at
      prime plus 1.5% (5.75% at December 31, 2002), of $5.0 million based on
      certain percentages of eligible accounts receivable and inventory.
      Substantially all of the assets of the Company are pledged as collateral
      under the Agreement. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company is
      required to raise additional capital of $3.0 million by June 30, 2003 and
      $11.0 million by December 31, 2003 and maintain certain financial
      covenants (see Note 14). At December 31, 2002 the Company had drawn down
      approximately $1.6 million and had approximately $174,000 available for
      additional borrowing.

7.   Leases

      The Company leases equipment under capital lease agreements. The leases,
      in the aggregate, require monthly principal and interest payments of
      approximately $6,000 and bear interest at an average rate of 9.7%. The
      cost of equipment under capital leases is $479,336 and $479,336 with
      accumulated depreciation of $209,308 and $140,788 at December 31, 2002 and
      2001, respectively. Depreciation of such assets is recorded in
      depreciation and amortization expense in the Statement of Operations.

      The Company leases office space, warehouse space, machinery and equipment
      under various non-cancelable operating lease agreements. Several of these
      leases include renewal and purchase options. Total rental expense was
      approximately $154,000 and $186,000 in 2002 and 2001, respectively.

      Future minimum commitments for capital leases are as follows:

8.   Income Taxes

      As a result of net operating losses, the Company has no income tax
      liability for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001.

      The Company has deferred tax assets of approximately $14.0 million and
      $8.3 million as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, related
      primarily to net operating loss carryforwards. A full valuation allowance
      in the amount of $12.3 million and $5.8 million has been established as of
      December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, as the realization of such
      deferred tax assets is not considered to be more likely than not. In
      addition, deferred tax liabilities of approximately $1.7 million and $2.5
      million have been recorded as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
      Such liabilities relate primarily to differing amortization periods for
      book and tax for goodwill and other intangibles.

      At December 31, 2002 the Company had federal net operating loss ("NOL")
      carryforwards of approximately $34.5 million, which expire as follows:
      $2.8 million in 2020, $16.2 million in 2021, and $ 15.5 million in 2022.
      Prospective utilization of such NOL carryforwards is also subject to
      certain limitations under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code.

     conversion price of $0.57 per share. Additionally, upon a future Financing,
     as defined by the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock Agreement, the
     conversion price will be adjusted by dividing the $0.57 per share by the
     lowest price paid by any investor in connection with such Financing.
     Holders of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to the number
     of votes equal to the number of shares of common stock into which such

10.  Stock Option Plans

     The Company has two long-term incentive plans: the 2000 and 2001 incentive
     plans under which the Board of Directors is authorized to award restricted
     shares and options to purchase the Company's common stock in order to
     provide an incentive to certain eligible employees, officers and directors
     of the Company. The Board of Directors administers the incentive plans and
     has sole discretion to grant restricted stock or options. To date,
     restricted shares have only been awarded to certain executives in
     connection with the formation of the Company.

     The Board of Directors determines the exercise price of each option granted
     under each plan. Under both plans, options expire ten years from the date
     of grant and vest ratably over four years and five years for the 2000 and
     2001 plans, respectively. At December 31, 2002, there are 17.4 million
     shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the incentive plans.

11.  Acquisitions

      During 2001, the Company acquired three companies all accounted for under
      the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the purchase price has
      been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on
      their estimated fair values at the dates of acquisition.

      On October 11, 2001, the Company acquired ShariAnn's Organic's Inc.,
      manufacturers of organic soups, for a cash purchase price of $3.5 million.
      In connection with this acquisition,



                                      F-16

                                  Acirca, Inc.
             Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

     the Company received current assets $.5 million, property, plant and
     equipment of $.1 million, and assumed liabilities of $.6 million. The
     Company also recorded goodwill and other intangibles of approximately $1.3
     million and $2.2 million, respectively.

     On September 30, 2001, the Company acquired Mountain Sun Organic and
     Natural Juices ("Mt. Sun"), manufacturers of natural and organic juice and
     various mixed fruit juices, for a purchase price of $11.8 million funded by
     cash of $6.4 million and the issuance of 9.5 million shares of common stock
     valued at $5.4 million. In connection with this acquisition, the Company
     received current assets of $4.4 million, property, plant and equipment of
     $1.9 million, and assumed liabilities of $2.7 million. The Company also
     recorded goodwill and other intangibles of approximately $3.1 million and
     $5.1 million, respectively. In 2002 the purchase price was finalized and
     accordingly the Company received 382,882 shares of common stock previously
     issued and held in escrow valued at $217,559.

     As the above-mentioned transactions were completed subsequent to July 1,
     2001 the Company accounted for such under the provisions of SFAS No. 141
     and 142. On June 11, 2001, the Company purchased all of the assets of
     Millina's Finest and Frutti Di Bosco organic pasta sauces for a cash
     purchase price of $3.1 million from Spectrum Organic Products, Inc. The
     Company recorded $.3 million of goodwill, $2.0 million of other intangibles
     and $.8 million of inventory in connection with the acquisition. The
     Company deposited $350,000 of the purchase price in an escrow account
     pending resolution of certain representations and warranties of the
     sellers. At December 31, 2001, $175,000 of the cash purchase price remained
     in escrow and was paid out in 2002. Accordingly no amounts are held in
     escrow at December 31, 2002 in connection with this acquisition.

12.  Contingencies

     The Company is involved in various legal matters, which have arisen in the
     ordinary course of its business. In the opinion of management the ultimate
     resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the
     financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

13.  Benefit Plans

     The Company sponsors a defined contribution 401(k) plan, covering
     substantially all full time employees who are eligible to participate in
     the plan upon date of hire. Employees make contributions to the plan
     through salary deferrals. No employer contributions were made during the
     years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001.

14.  Subsequent Events

     On May 28, 2003, the Company entered into an agreement with several of its
     shareholders whereby the shareholders loaned the Company $1,000,000 and in
     connection therewith, received warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of
     7,109,594 shares of newly authorized Series E Convertible Preferred Stock.
     Principal and all accrued and unpaid interest, computed at a rate of 25%
     per annum, was payable on demand at any time on or after the

     through the sale or sales of its securities. In June 2003, the Company
     repaid the entire principal and interest.

     As discussed in Note 1, the Company was acquired on June 17, 2003 by The
     Hain Celestial Group, Inc. ("Hain"). Aggregate consideration paid by Hain
     was approximately $13.5 million, consisting of a combination of cash,
     134,797 shares of Hain common stock and the assumption of certain of the
     Company's liabilities.

1.   Nature of Business, Organization and Basis of Presentation

     Acirca, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in the state of Delaware on
     May 11, 2000. The Company was formed for the purpose of developing and
     providing high quality organic foods for customers. The mission of the
     Company is to create the most valuable organic brands by focusing on equity
     building, product innovation, distribution ubiquity and consumer loyalty.

     In April 2002, the Company acquired all of the assets of the Organic
     Ingredients ("OI") division of Spectrum Organic Products, Inc. As discussed
     in Note 7, in June 2003, The Hain Celestial Group, Inc. ("Hain") acquired
     the Company, except for the OI business which was retained by the sellers.
     Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements present the historical
     financial information of the business acquired by Hain, as adjusted to
     eliminate the assets and liabilities and results of operations of OI, which
     were retained by the sellers. The net assets of OI distributed to the
     stockholders of the Company in June of 2003 has been recorded as an
     adjustment to reflect assets not sold in the accompanying Statements of
     Stockholders' Equity for the year ended December 31, 2002. OI incurred a
     pre-tax loss of approximately $26,000 in 2002.

2.   Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

     Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of
     net assets acquired. Amortization of intangible assets is provided using
     the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, which range
     from 1 to 20 years. The Company evaluates the recoverability of intangible
     assets based on projected undiscounted operating cash flows whenever events
     or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be
     recoverable. Effective January 1, 2002, the Company ceased amortization of
     goodwill in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial
     Accounting Standards ("SFAS")

                Notes to Pro Forma Combined Financial Statements
                                   (Unaudited)


General:

On June 17, 2003, The Hain Celestial Group, Inc. (the "Company") completed the
acquisition of Acirca, Inc. ("Acirca"). A portion of the cost of the acquisition
(including closing costs) and the repayment of Acirca debt was funded by
borrowings under the Company's existing Credit Facility, while the remaining
cost of the acquisition was paid by the issuance of 134,797 shares of common
stock.

Only those adjustments required and allowable by Regulation S-X have been
reflected in the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Statements. In the
periods following the closing of the acquisition of Acirca, the Company expects
to realize various synergies, numerous of which were effectuated immediately.
The synergies include the elimination of Acirca costs which are duplicative with
the Company's costs, including the costs of research and development,
operations, marketing and sales, customer service and finance and accounting.

Details of the pro forma adjustments relating to the acquisition and the
financing are set forth below:

Pro forma balance sheet adjustments:

     (1)  Elimination of Acirca fixed assets not retained by the Company.
     (2)  Elimination of Acirca goodwill and other intangible assets.
     (3)  Excess of the cost of the acquisition over the acquired net tangible
          assets of Acirca. An allocation of the excess between goodwill and
          other intangibles is pending.
     (4)  Liabilities assumed in the transaction, including closing costs.
     (5)  Credit lines of Acirca paid off at closing.
     (6)  Borrowings under the Company's Credit Facility on the date of
          acquisition.
     (7)  Elimination of Acirca equity accounts.
     (8)  Issuance of Company common stock at the date of acquisition.

Pro forma statement of income adjustments:

     (1)  Elimination of Acirca depreciation and amortization.
     (2)  Elimination of Acirca interest expense.
     (3)  Increase in interest expense resulting from the Company's additional
          borrowings under its Credit Facility on the date of acquisition.
     (4)  Adjustment to historical income taxes to give effect to the operating
          losses of Acirca when combined with the Company.
