Notes to Financial Statements (A) Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and therefore do not include all information and notes necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The unaudited condensed financial statements include the accounts of Lancer Orthodontics, Inc. (the "Company")and its wholly-owned subsidiary Lancer Orthodontics de Mexico. The operating results for interim periods are unaudited and are not necessarily an indication of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year. In the opinion of management, the results of operations as reported for the interim periods reflect all adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of operating results. Reference is made to Note 2 of the Notes to Financial Statements contained in Lancer's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2002, for a summary of significant accounting policies utilized by Lancer. (B) Organization Lancer Orthodontics, Inc. was incorporated on August 25, 1967, in the state of California, for the purpose of engaging in the design, manufacture, and distribution of orthodontic products. Lancer has a manufacturing facility in Mexico where a majority of its inventory is manufactured (Note G). The facility is incorporated and is a wholly-owned and consolidated subsidiary of Lancer. This subsidiary now also administers services previously provided by an independent manufacturing contractor. The conversion had no material effect on manufacturing operations. Lancer also purchases certain orthodontic and dental products for purposes of resale. Sales are made directly to orthodontists world-wide through Company representatives and independent distributors. Lancer also sells certain of its products on a private label basis. (C) Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabil- ities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates made by Lancer's management include, but are not limited to, allowances for doubtful accounts, allowances for sales returns, the valuation of inventories, and the realizeability of property and equipment through future operations. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. (D) Stock Based Compensation Lancer accounts for stock based compensation under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 ("SFAS 123"). SFAS 123 defines a fair value based method of accounting for stock based compensation. However, SFAS 123 allows an entity to continue to measure compensation cost related to stock and stock options issued to employees using the intrinsic method of accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 ("APB 25"), "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees". Entities electing to remain with the accounting method of APB 25 must make pro forma disclosures of net income and earnings per share, as if the fair value method of accounting defined in SFAS 123 had been applied. Lancer has elected to account for its stock based compensation to employees under APB 25. (E) Property and Equipment At February 28, 2003, construction in progress of $79,144 is included in net property and equipment of $105,098. Construction in progress is the accumulated cost of machinery and tooling being developed. Upon project completion, the cost will be depreciated using straight-line method over the estimated useful life. (F) Line of Credit At February 28, 2003, Lancer has a $400,000 line of credit with GE Capital Healthcare Financial Services through October 24, 2003. Borrowings are made at prime plus 2.0%, however not less than 8.0%, (8.0% at February 28, 2003) and are limited to 80% of accounts receivable less than 90 days old with a liquidity factor of 94%. The outstanding balance at February 28, 2003, is $478 and the unused portion available is approximately $310,000. Lancer is in compliance with its debt covenants at February 28, 2003. The line of credit is collateralized by substantially all the assets of Lancer, including inventories, receivables, and equipment. The lending agreement for the line of credit requires, among other things, that Lancer maintain a tangible net worth of $2,100,000 and that receivables payments be sent to a controlled lockbox. In addition to interest, a management fee of 0.25% of the average monthly outstanding loan balance and an unused balance fee of .0425% on the average monthly unused portion available are required. Lancer is not required to maintain compensating balances in connection with this lending agreement. (G) Commitments and Contingencies In May 1990, Lancer entered into a manufacturing subcontractor agreement whereby the subcontractor agreed to provide manufacturing services to Lancer through its affiliated entities located in Mexicali, B.C., Mexico. Effective April 1, 1996, Lancer leased the Mexicali facility under a separate agreement. Since October 2000, the manufacturing agreement was operated on a month to month basis. During fiscal 2002, the facility in Mexico was incorporated as Lancer Orthodontics de Mexico, ("Lancer Orthodontics de Mexico"), a wholly- owned and consolidated subsidiary of Lancer. This subsidiary now administers services previously provided by an independent manufacturing contractor. A new lease was negotiated in the name of Lancer Orthodontics de Mexico, effective April 1, 2001, for the 16,000 square foot facility already in use for the Mexican operations. Mexican utilities and vendor obligations were also converted to the Lancer Orthodontics de Mexico name. This conversion eliminated the expense of an administrative fee and is expected to provide better control in meeting future obligations. The conversion had no material effect on manufacturing operations. The potential impact for the use of our own facility, in terms of a corporate entity with legal standing in Mexico, is that over a fiscal year Lancer would save approximately $100,000 in service fees over a Mexican contracted corporate entity. Should Lancer discontinue operations in Mexico, it is responsible for accumulated employee seniority obligations as prescribed by Mexican law. At February 28, 2003, this obligation was approximately $239,000. Such obligation is contingent in nature and accordingly has not been accrued in Lancer's financial statements. Leases - Lancer leases its corporate facility under a non- cancelable operating lease expiring December 31, 2003, as extended, which requires monthly rentals that increase annually, from $2,900 per month in 1994 to $6,317 per month in 2004. The lease expense is being recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The excess of the expense recognized over the cash paid aggregates $5,337 at February 28, 2003, and is included in accrued liabilities in the accompanying balance sheet. Total rental expense for this facility for the nine months ended February 28, 2003, was approximately $52,000. Effective December 1, 2002, Lancer Orthodontics de Mexico entered into a non- cancelable operating lease for its Mexico facility through March 31, 2009. The new lease encompasses the approximately 16,000 square feet of the previous lease, plus additional square footage of approximately 10,000 feet, for a total of approximately 26,000 square feet. Lancer Orthodontics de Mexico will provide sub- contracted manufacturing services to Biomerica, Inc., using a portion of the additional square footage. The new lease requires four monthly lease payments of approximately $5,300 through March 2003, and seventy-two monthly payments of approximately $9,600 through March 2009. An agreement is being negotiated between Lancer Orthodontics de Mexico and Biomerica regarding the amount of additional rent that will be reimbursed by Biomerica. The remainder of the space will be used by Lancer Orthodontics de Mexico, and therefore, the non- reimbursed expense will be absorbed by Lancer Orthodontics, Inc. Total rental expense for this facility for the nine months ended February 28, 2003, was approximately $53,000. The new Lancer Orthodontics de Mexico lease also requires an additional refundable security deposit of $26,550, payable over twelve months beginning January 2003. Lancer Orthodontics, Inc. is paying half and Biomerica, Inc. the other half. At February 28, 2003, other assets on the balance sheet includes approximately $35,000 for security deposit paid on the Mexico location. At May 31, 2002, future aggregate minimum lease payments are as follows: Years ending May 31, 2003 $144,545 2004 114,659 2005 70,440 2006 58,700 Total $388,344 Common Stock - Lancer's stock is traded on the OTC Bulletin Board. (H) Income Taxes At May 31, 2002, Lancer had net tax operating loss carryforwards of approximately $2,037,000 and business tax credits of approximately $80,000 available to offset future Federal taxable income and tax liabilities, respectively. The Federal carry- forwards expire in varying amounts through the year 2021. As of May 31, 2002, Lancer had net tax operating loss carryforwards of approximately $185,000 and business tax credits of approximately $24,000 available to offset future state income tax liabilities. The state carryforwards expire through the year 2011. (I) Stockholders' Equity Lancer has incentive stock option and non-qualified stock option plans for directors, officers, and key employees. The plans provide for the granting of options for common shares at exercise prices equal to or exceeding the fair market value at the date of grant, as determined by the Board of Directors. Options may become exercisable over a period of up to four years from the date of grant and may be exercised over a period of three to seven years from the date of the grant, as determined by the Board of Directors. Lancer's shareholders have authorized a total of 357,143 shares to be available for grant under Lancer's stock option plan. Options granted prior to May 31, 1995, generally vested on the date of grant and expired through August 1999. During the nine months ended February 28, 2003, 60,000 shares of common stock valued at $21,000 were issued to Lancer's Chief Executive Officer. In December 2002, 53,846 shares of Common Stock valued at $14,000 were authorized to be issued to Lancer's CEO. The Board of Directors authorized this stock issuance as partial compensation to Mr. Irani for services as CEO and Chairman of the Board. General and administrative expense of $26,250 was recognized for the nine months ended February 28, 2003, and $8,750 was recognized for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2002. The $14,000 of Common Stock to be issued is reflected as Common Stock subscribed on the accompanying balance sheet at February 28, 2003. Lancer granted non-qualified options to the Chief Executive Officer to purchase 113,000 shares of Common Stock at $.30. These options were granted on December 1, 2001 and are exercisable at the rate of one-third per year and have a term of five years. Lancer granted incentive stock options to employees to purchase 30,000 shares of Common Stock at $.28 on September 2, 2002. These options are exercisable at the rate of one-fourth per year, starting immediately, for a term of five years. Lancer granted incentive stock options to an employee to purchase 40,000 shares of Common Stock at $.28 on September 2, 2002. These options are exercisable at the rate of one-third per year, beginning April 2, 2003, for a term of five years. Lancer granted incentive stock options to employees to purchase 70,000 shares of Common Stock at $.26 on December 2, 2002. These options are exercisable at the rate of one-fourth per year, starting immediately, for a term of five years. (J) Net Loss per Common Share and Dividends Lancer calculates earnings per share in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS 128"). SFAS 128 replaces the presentation of primary and fully diluted earnings per share with the presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is calculated by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted- average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity. For all periods presented, no common stock equivalents have been included in the computation of diluted earnings per share as they were determined to be anti-dilutive.

The carrying value of the inventory stolen approximated $81,758, valued at standard cost, which was reflected in the May 31, 2002 financial statements as a reduction in inventories and an addition to insurance claim receivable. During the nine months ended February 28, 2003, Lancer received $144,413 from the insurance carrier; the estimated value of the stolen inventory at net average selling price, less commissions and royalties. Lancer recorded other income of $62,655 from the proceeds received in excess of standard cost. In order to deter future thefts, a new security company has been hired and a new security system installed. (M) Related Party Transactions Lancer's wholly owned subsidiary, Lancer Orthodontics de Mexico, is negotiating with Biomerica, Inc. to provide sub-contractor services at its manufacturing plant in Mexicali, Mexico. Biomerica has paid Lancer Orthodontics de Mexico $6,041 for a lease security deposit (see Note G) and reimbursement of other startup costs. Lancer Orthodontics, Inc. paid labor costs of approximately $2,600 to Lancer Orthodontics de Mexico on behalf of Biomerica, Inc. The Lancer balance sheet at February 28, 2003 reflects this amount in Accounts Receivable (net). (N) Recent Accounting Pronouncements In July 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 ("SFAS 142"), "Goodwill and Intangible Assets", which revises the accounting for purchased goodwill and intangible assets. Under SFAS 142, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives will no longer be amortized and will be tested for impairment annually. SFAS 142 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001, with earlier adoption permitted. The adoption of SFAS 142 did not have a material impact on Lancer's financial position or results of operations. In August 2001, the FASB issued FAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations." This statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. It applies to all entities and legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and/or normal operation of long-lived assets, except for certain obligations of lessees. This statement amends FAS No. 19, "Financial Accounting and Reporting by Oil and Gas Producing Company," and is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. We do not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material effect on our financial statements. In October 2001, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," or SFAS 144. SFAS No. 144 requires that those long-lived assets be measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell, whether reported in continuing operations or in discontinued operations. Therefore, discontinued operations will no longer be measured at net realizable value or include amounts for operating losses that have not yet occurred. SFAS No. 144 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001 and, generally, is to be applied prospectively. The adoption of SFAS 144 did not have a material impact on Lancer's financial position or results of operations. In April 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB Statement No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No. 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections," to update, clarify and simplify existing accounting pronouncements. FASB Statement No. 4, which required all gains and losses from debt extinguishment to be aggregated and, if material, classified as an extraordinary item, net of related tax effect, was rescinded. Consequently, FASB Statement No. 64, which amended FASB Statement No. 4, was rescinded because it was no longer necessary. The adoption of SFAS 145 did not have a material impact on Lancer's financial position or results of operations.In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities." SFAS 146 addresses accounting and reporting for costs associated ith exit or disposal activities and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (Including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." SFAS No. 146 requires that a liability for a cost associated with a exit or disposal activity be recognized and measured initially at fair value when the liability is incurred. SFAS No. 146 is effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002, with early application encouraged. We do not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material effect on our financial statements. In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123." SFAS No. 148 provides alternative methods of transition for an entity that voluntarily changes to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. It also amends the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosure about the effects on reported net income of an entity's accounting policy decisions with respect to stock-based employee compensation. Finally, this Statement amends APB Opinion No. 28, "Interim Financial Reporting," to require disclosure about those effects in the interim financial information. The amendments to SFAS No. 123 that provide alternative methods of transition for an entity that voluntarily changes to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation are effective for financial statements for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002. The amendment to SFAS No. 123 relating to disclosure and the amendment to Opinion 28 is effective for financial reports containing condensed financial statements for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2002. Early application is encouraged. Management currently believes that the adoption of SFAS No. 148 will not have a material impact on the financial statements. Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS For the nine months ended February 28, 2003, net income increased from a net loss of $5,796 at February 28, 2002 to net income of $45,311 at February 28, 2003. For the three months ended February 28, 2003, net income decreased from net income of $50,372 at February 28, 2002 to a net income of $19,379 at February 28, 2003. The nine month increase is primarily due to other income from insurance proceeds of $62,655. The three month decrease is primarily due to increases in cost of sales and product development. For the nine months ended February 28, 2003, net sales decreased $206,823 (4.6%) as compared to the nine months ended February 28, 2002. For the three months ended February 28, 2003, net sales increased $66,894 (4.6%) as compared to the three months ended February 28, 2002. International net sales decreased $257,207 (11.5%) and increased $107,560 (16.7%), respectively, for the nine months and three months ended February 28, 2003, as compared to the nine months and three months ended February 28, 2002. The nine month decrease in sales was primarily in Europe and South America. The three month increase was primarily in Europe. International sales can be affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate of the host country to the U.S. dollar and by other economic conditions, although not in the current quarter. Domestic net sales increased $50,384 (2.2%) and decreased $40,666 (5.1%), respectively, for the nine months and three months ended February 28, 2003, as compared to the nine months and three months ended February 28, 2002. For the nine months ended February 28, 2003, cost of sales as a percentage of sales (71.2%), increased 3.2% as compared to the nine months ended February 28, 2002, which totaled 68.0%. For the three months ended February 28, 2003, cost of sales as a percentage of sales (71.9%), increased 4.7% as compared the three months ended February 28, 2002, which totaled 67.2%. The increase is primarily attributable to increased production costs. For the nine months and three months ended February 28, 2003, selling and marketing expenses decreased $253,619 (23.4%) and $55,967 (18.2%), respectively, as compared to the same periods ended February 28, 2002. The decrease is primarily due to labor and travel costs of terminated marketing support personnel, whose responsibilities were assumed by existing general and administrative personnel. For the nine months ended February 28, 2003, general and administrative expenses increased $19,887 (6.3%) as compared to the nine months ended February 28, 2002. The increase is primarily due to an increase in insurance costs and $26,250 of expense resulting from shares of common stock issued to the Chief Executive Officer for partial compensation of services (Note G), offset by a decrease in professional fees. For the three months ended February 28, 2003, general and administrative expenses increased $17,320 (17.6%) as compared to the three months ended February 28, 2002. The increase is primarily attributable to a 2002 reclassification of contract labor costs from G & A to occupancy costs, which was then distributed to all San Marcos departments, and compensation to the CEO. For the nine months and three months ended February 28, 2003, product development expense increased $66,024 (100.0%) and $34,842 (100.0%), respectively, as compared to the same periods ended February 28, 2002. The increase is attributable to the resumption of product development. For the nine months and three months ended February 28, 2003, interest expense decreased $9,289 (71.9%) and $5,336 (99.3%), respectively, as compared to the same periods ended February 28, 2002. The decrease is attributable to the pay down of the line of credit with insurance claim proceeds. For the nine months ended February 28, 2003, other income of $62,655 was realized from the insurance claim settlement of $144,413 for the theft of inventory at Lancer's Mexicali facility, less $81,758 of inventory related thereto. FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY, AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Lancer's financial condition at February 28, 2003 (unaudited) and its previous two fiscal year ends was as follows: 02/28/03 05/31/02 05/31/01 Current Assets $3,380,500 $3,474,312 $3,476,962 Current Liabilities 482,755 634,021 779,462 Working Capital 2,897,745 2,840,291 2,697,500 Line of Credit 478 65,669 140,000 Shareholder Equity 3,083,540 3,011,979 2,957,174 Total Assets 3,566,295 3,646,000 3,736,636 Cash increased $439,876 during the nine months ended February 28, 2003. Working capital increased $57,454 during the nine months ended February 28, 2003, primarily attributable to an increase in cash. Lancer's management believes that it will be able to finance Lancer's operations through cash flow and available borrowings through the current fiscal year and ensuing fiscal years. This assumption is based upon a reasonable level of demand for our products. At February 28, 2003, Lancer has a $400,000 line of credit with GE Capital Healthcare Financial Services through October 24, 2003. Borrowings are made at prime plus 2.0%, however not less than 8.0%, (8.0% at February 28, 2003) and are limited to 80% of accounts receivable less than 90 days old with a liquidity factor of 94%. There is an outstanding balance of $478 at February 28, 2003 and the unused portion available is approximately $310,000. Lancer was in compliance with its debt covenants at February 28, 2003. The line of credit is collateralized by substantially all the assets of Lancer, including inventories, receivables, and equipment. The lending agreement for the line of credit requires, among other things, that Lancer maintain a tangible net worth of $2,100,000 and that receivables payments be sent to a controlled lockbox. In addition to interest, a management fee of 0.25% of the average monthly outstanding loan balance and an unused balance fee of .0425% on the average monthly unused portion available are required. Lancer is not required to maintain compensating balances in connection with this lending agreement. Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK You should read the following factors in conjunction with the factors discussed elsewhere in this and our other filing with the SEC and in materials incorporated by reference in these filing. The following is intended to highlight certain factors that may affect the financial condition and results of operations of Lancer and are not meant to be an exhaustive discussion of risks that apply to companies such as Lancer. Like other businesses, Lancer is susceptible to macroeconomic downturns in the United States or abroad, as were experienced in fiscal year 2002, that may affect the general economic climate and performance of Lancer or its customers. Aside from general macroeconomic downturns, the additional material factors that could affect future financial results include, but are not limited to: Terrorist attacks and the impact of such events; diminished access to raw materials that directly enter into our manufacturing process; shipping labor disruption or other major degradation of the ability to ship our products to end users; inability to successful control our margins which are affected by many factors including competition and product mix; protracted shutdown of the US border due to an escalation of terrorist or counter terrorist activity; the operating and financial covenants contained in our credit line which could limit our operating flexibility, any changes in our business relationships with international distributors or the economic client they operate in; any event that has a material adverse impact on our foreign manufacturing operations may adversely affect our operations as a whole, failure to manage the future expansion of our business could have a material adverse affect on our revenues and profitability; possible costs in complying with government regulations and the delays in receiving required regulatory approvals or the enactment of new adverse regulations or regulatory requirements; numerous competitors, some of which have substantially greater financial and other resources than we do; potential claims and litigation brought by patients or dental professionals alleging harm caused by the use of or exposure to our products; quarterly variations in operating results caused by a number of factors, including business and industry conditions and other factors beyond our control. All these factors make it difficult to predict operating results for any particular period. Item 4. PROCEDURES AND CONTROLS Within the 90 days prior to the date of this report, Lancer carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of Lancer's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Director of Financial Planning, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of Lancer's disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-14. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Director of Financial Planning concluded that Lancer's disclosure controls and procedures are effective. There were no significant changes in Lancer's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation. PART II.
