See accompanying notes to consolidated condensed financial statements. Page 6 BIOLASE TECHNOLOGY, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2001 Note 1 ------ The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements of BioLase Technology, Inc. (the "Company") have been prepared by the Company without audit and do not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The consolidated condensed balance sheet at December 31, 2000 was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. In the opinion of management, the consolidated condensed financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial condition of the Company as of June 30, 2001 and the results of operations for the three and six- month periods then ended. The Company's consolidated condensed financial statements have been presented on the basis that the Company will continue as a going-concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company's business continues to focus on the manufacturing and marketing of its laser-based technologies incorporated in its newly introduced products, the Waterlase and the Twilite laser systems. Financing the development of laser-based medical and dental devices and instruments and the operations of the Company has been achieved principally through the private placements of preferred and common stock and the exercise of stock options and warrants. During the six months ended June 30, 2001 and the three years ended December 31, 2000, the Company raised $678,739 and $12,135,679, respectively, of net equity funds in this manner. Based upon the expected continued increase in sales, the Company believes that it should have sufficient capital resources to sustain it during the year in relation to its fiscal year 2001 business plan. In addition, management believes that the Company's financial performance and financial condition continues to strengthen. Until the Company can achieve sustained profitability, however, it remains dependent on its ability to renew or replace its existing line of credit and/or issue additional shares of stock to finance continuing operations. No assurances can be given that the Company will be able to renew or replace its present credit facility or obtain additional financing should the need arise. Operating results for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2001. These statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000.

Note 6 ------ Basic and diluted loss per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Potential common stock, which consists of stock options and warrants, has been excluded from per share calculations, as the effect of the assumed exercise of this potential common stock is anti-dilutive for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Note 7 ----- In March 2001, the Company entered into a $2,261,477 sale-leaseback transaction whereby the Company sold and leased back its corporate headquarters located in San Clemente, California. The result of the sale was a $315,783 gain, which has been deferred and is being amortized over the five-year lease term. The related lease is being accounted for as an operating lease. Also, in connection with the transaction, a mortgage payable of $1,190,006 was retired. The minimum lease payments required by the lease over the next five years are as follows: 2001 $ 111,744 2002 223,488 2003 223,488 2004 223,488 2005 223,488 2006 37,248 ----------- $ 1,042,944 =========== Page 9 ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- of Operations. -------------- Qualifying Statement With Respect To Forward-Looking Information: The United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a "safe harbor" for certain forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are based upon the current expectations of the Company and speak only as of the date made. These forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties and other factors. The factors discussed below under "Factors That Could Affect Forward-Looking Statements" and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are among those factors that in some cases have affected the Company's historic results and could cause actual results in the future to differ significantly from the results anticipated in forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, in future filings by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission, in the Company's press releases and in oral statements made by authorized officers of the Company. When used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the words "estimate," "project," "anticipate," "expect," "intend," "believe," "hope," "may" and similar expressions, as well as "will," "shall" and other indications of future tense, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated condensed financial statements and notes thereto. Results of Operations - Three-month period ended June 30, 2001 as compared to the three-month period ended June 30, 2000: Sales for the three months ended June 30, 2001 increased $2,076,667, or 92%, to $4,335,473 from the $2,258,806 reported for the same period in 2000. The increase was due principally to the Company's overall increased marketing efforts and new product introductions of its Waterlase(TM) soft and hard tissue laser system and its Twilite(TM) dental diode soft tissue laser system, both launched in quantity during the third quarter of 2000. The increased marketing efforts included increases in the Company's sales and marketing infrastructure, strengthening of growing alliances with various international distributors and raising customer and patient awareness of the Company's flagship product, the Waterlase(TM). The Company anticipates increased sales volume during the third quarter of 2001 from its Twilite(TM) diode laser system due to the recent clearance by the FDA to market the LaserSmile(TM) tooth whitening system, an optional add-on feature to the Twilite(TM) soft-tissue laser system. The LaserSmile(TM) FDA clearance is the first tooth-whitening application cleared by the FDA for use with an 810 nanometer diode laser system, thereby, allowing a dentist to require only one system for both soft-tissue dental applications and in-office tooth-whitening applications. Gross profit for the second quarter of 2001 increased $1,562,012, or 150%, to $2,601,065, or 60% of sales, compared to $1,039,053, or 46% of sales, for the second quarter of 2000. The increase in gross profit was due principally to the increased sales volume allowing for a greater absorption of fixed manufacturing costs combined with engineered advancements and cost reductions of the Company's product line. Sales and marketing expense increased $1,062,945, or 132%, during the second quarter of 2001 compared to the same period in 2000 due principally to the Company's expansion of its domestic sales force, its marketing infrastructure, its advertising through professional journals and media modalities, and participation in highly recognized dental conventions and trade shows. The Company expects to increase sales and marketing expense over the remainder of year 2001 as a result of further expansion of its sales personnel to Page 10 support the anticipated higher volume in Twilite(TM) and LaserSmile(TM) product sales; however, most of the increase will be commissioned base and variable in nature. General and administrative expense was $488,807 for the second quarter of 2001 compared to $512,182 for the same period in 2000, a modest decrease of $23,375, or 5%. The decrease was due principally to reductions in various professional fees during the second quarter of 2001, offset by a non-cash increase of $15,100 related to the issuance of stock purchase warrants for services rendered in connection with the Company's line-of-credit. Engineering and development expense was $364,342 for the second quarter of 2001 compared to $603,739 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of $239,397, or 40%. The decrease was due in part to normal variation in the Company's project development cycles. Interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2001 was $7,064 compared to $29,643 for the same period in 2000. The decrease was due principally to higher average balances in the Company's interest bearing accounts during the second quarter of 2000 coupled with higher interest rates in place during the same period over those in 2001. Interest expense remained comparable between the second quarters of 2001 and 2000. The Company's net loss for the second quarter of 2001 improved to $147,462 or $0.01 per share, compared to $887,776, or $0.04 per share, for the same period in 2000. The improvement was due solely to the improved operations during the second quarter of 2001 versus the second quarter of 2000. Based on the sales increases achieved in the last several quarters and expected on-going growth in demand for the Company's products, the Company believes that it will achieve profitability no later than the fourth quarter of 2001. Results of Operations - Six-month period ended June 30, 2001 as compared to the six-month period ended June 30, 2000: Sales for the first half of 2001 increased $3,632,334, or 96%, to $7,418,166 compared to $3,785,832 for the first half of 2000. The increase was due principally to continued marketing efforts of the Company coupled with increased awareness by dentists and dental patients of the benefits associated with the Company's primary product, the Waterlase(TM). Gross profit increased by $2,754,711, or 175%, to $4,330,026 representing 58% of sales during the first half of 2001 from the $1,575,315, or 42% of sales for the first half of 2000. The increase in gross profit and gross margin is due principally to the increased sales volume allowing for a greater absorption of fixed manufacturing costs combined with engineered advancements and cost reductions of the Company's product line. Sales and marketing expense was $3,466,316, or 47% of sales, for the first half of 2001 compared to $1,444,458, or 38% of sales, for the first half of 2000. The increase of $2,021,858 was due principally to the expansion of the Company's domestic sales force, increased marketing expenses related to the Company's Waterlase(TM) and Twilite(TM) products and greater participation in highly recognized dental conventions, trade shows and Company sponsored product seminars at key regional locations. General and administrative expense increased nominally to $963,436, or 13% of sales, during the first half of 2001 compared to $913,060, or 24% of sales, for the same period in 2000. The small increase was associated with higher administrative expenses associated with the Company's present growth. Page 11 Engineering and development expense decreased $393,077 to $724,101, or 10% of sales, during the first half of 2001 compared to $1,117,178, or 30% of sales, for the first half of 2000. The decrease was due principally to the absence during 2001 of project development expenses related to the final design of the present Waterlase(TM) and Twilite(TM) configurations that were present during 2000. Interest income decreased to $13,420 during the first half of 2001 compared to $36,889 for the same period in 2000. The decrease was due to lower average balances in interest-bearing accounts combined with reduced interest rates during 2001 versus 2000. Interest expense increased to $109,460 during the first half of 2001 compared to $57,380 for the first half of 2000. The increase in interest expense was due principally to the Company's $1,200,000 note related to the purchase of its manufacturing facility that was in place until the sale of the property in March 2001. The Company's net loss for the first half of 2001 was $919,867 or $0.05 per share, compared to $1,919,872, or $0.10 per share, for the same period in 2000. The improvement was based primarily on the increase in sales. The decrease in the per-share loss for the first half of 2001 was enhanced partially by a 3% increase in weighted average shares outstanding. Financial Condition Cash and cash equivalents increased to $3,507,307 at June 30, 2001 from $2,001,884 at December 31, 2000 due principally to (i) net proceeds of $1,071,471 received from the sale and lease-back of the Company's manufacturing facility in March 2001, and (ii) the exercise of certain stock options generating $678,739 in cash proceeds, offset by cash used by operating activities aggregating $201,684 and capital expenditures of $38,045. Accounts receivable, net, decreased to $331,500 at June 30, 2001 from the $758,219 reported at December 31, 2000. The decrease was due principally to emphasized collection efforts coupled with the placement of international orders occurring ratably over the second quarter of 2001 compared to the last month of the quarter in 2000. Inventories, net, at June 30, 2001 were $1,264,004 compared to $1,221,595 at December 31, 2000, a nominal increase of $42,409. The slight increase was due principally to the Company's increased production, requiring higher levels of inventory, partially offset by improved material planning and production forecasting. Inventory turnover was comparable for the first half of 2001 with the same period of 2000 at 5.4 times, or every 68 days, versus 5.5 times, or every 66 days, respectively. The Company expects inventory levels to increase over the remainder of year 2001 in support of anticipated higher sales levels. Prepaid expenses and other current assets at June 30, 2001 were $198,452, reflecting an increase of $18,467 from the $179,985 reported at December 31, 2000. The increase was due principally to deposits placed for booth space at dental trade shows that are to be held during 2001 and 2002. Current liabilities increased to $4,649,870 at June 30, 2001 from the $4,367,651 reported at December 31, 2000. Current portion of long-term debt decreased $20,486 as a result of the sale and lease-back of the Company's manufacturing facility (retirement of the related mortgage note payable), replaced by the $63,156 current portion of the deferred gain on such sale. Accounts payable increased $56,343 at June 30, 2001 compared to December 31, 2000 due principally to increased inventory levels necessary for current production requirements. Accrued expenses increased $158,706 at June 30, 2001 compared to December 31, 2000 reflecting higher levels of operating expenses associated with the Company's growth, principally increased warranty levels. Customer deposits increased to $224,500 at June 30, 2001 compared to $200,000 at December 31, 2000 representing slightly higher deposits on sales orders. Page 12 Net proceeds received from the sale of the Company's manufacturing facility in March 2001 were $1,071,471, after considering the retirement of the related mortgage note payable (see "Liquidity and Capital Resources" below). Capital expenditures during the first half of 2001 were $38,045 represented principally by additions of computer hardware and software. Patents, trademarks and licenses were comparable to those reported at December 31, 2000, less normal amortization for the first six months of 2001. Stockholders' equity decreased to $830,843 at June 30, 2001 from $1,056,871 at December 31, 2000 due principally to the six-month loss of 2001 offset by proceeds of $678,739 received from the exercise of stock options and warrants. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company's business continues to focus on the manufacturing and marketing of its laser-based technologies incorporated in its newly introduced products, the Waterlase(TM) and the Twilite(TM) laser systems. Financing the development of laser-based medical and dental devices and instruments and the operations of the Company has been achieved principally through the private placements of preferred and common stock and the exercise of stock options and warrants. During the six months ended June 30, 2001 and the three years ended December 31, 2000, the Company raised $678,739 and $12,135,679, respectively, of net equity funds in this manner. Based upon the expected continued increase in sales, the Company believes that it should have sufficient capital resources to sustain it during the year in relation to its fiscal year 2001 business plan. In addition, management believes that the Company's financial performances and financial condition continues to strengthen. Until the Company can achieve sustained profitability, however, it remains dependent on its ability to renew or replace its existing line of credit and/or issue additional shares of stock to finance continuing operations. No assurances can be given that the Company will be able to renew or replace its present credit facility or obtain additional financing should the need arise. At June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, the Company had $1,791,925 outstanding under a revolving credit agreement with a bank. The revolving credit agreement provides for borrowings of up to $2,500,000 for the financing of inventory and is collateralized by substantially all of the Company's accounts receivable and inventories. The interest rate is fixed throughout the term of the credit agreement and is computed based upon LIBOR plus 0.5% at the time of any borrowings. At June 30, 2001, the weighted average interest rate on the outstanding balance was 4.6%. The Company is required to reduce the outstanding loan balance by an amount equal to the cost of goods sold associated with sales of inventory upon collection of sales proceeds. The current revolving credit agreement expires on December 1, 2001, at which point the Company will be required to either pay any remaining balance of the credit facility or refinance the credit facility. No assurances can be given that the Company will be able to refinance the line of credit or that the terms on which it may be able to refinance the line of credit will be as favorable as the terms of the existing line. If the Company is unable to refinance and is therefore required to repay the line of credit, the diversion of resources to that purpose may adversely affect the Company's operations and financial condition. Page 13 In March 2001, the Company entered into a $2,261,477 sale-leaseback transaction whereby the Company sold and leased back its corporate headquarters located in San Clemente, California. The result of the sale was a $315,783 gain, which has been deferred and is being amortized over the five-year lease term. The related lease is being accounted for as an operating lease. Also, in connection with the transaction, a mortgage payable of $1,190,006 was retired. Factors That Could Affect Forward-Looking Statements The forward looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are subject to various risks, uncertainties and other factors, most of which are not completely within the control of the Company, that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results anticipated in such forward looking statements. Included among the important risks, uncertainties and other factors are those hereinafter discussed. There is substantial government regulation of the manufacture and sale of medical products, including many of the Company's products, by governmental agencies in both the United States and foreign countries. Actions, decisions or delays from these agencies can significantly impact the Company's business. The Company has been dependent on its ability to finance its operations through the sale of securities. The availability of equity and debt financing to the Company is affected by, among other things, domestic and world economic conditions and the competition for funds. Rising interest rates might affect the feasibility of debt financing that is offered. Potential investors and lenders will be influenced by their evaluations of the Company and its products and comparisons with alternative investment opportunities. The Company's products do not provide the exclusive means for accomplishing an objective, and customers may choose alternative means. The adoption curve for new technology requires the Company to successfully communicate the cost, safety and efficacy benefits of dental lasers to address the concerns of dentists and patients and overcome the inertia associated with conventional means of treatment. Failure to accomplish this may prevent the Company from achieving broad-market acceptance which is necessary for its success. Other manufacturers of laser technology, including certain existing and potential competitors of the Company, have greater financial resources than does the Company. Access to such financial resources may provide other manufacturers with a substantial competitive advantage. The Company has identified alternate suppliers for most of its components. There are certain key components for which there is a single supplier. The Company is searching for alternative sources for these components. A change in the suppliers of certain system components, however, could interrupt production, have an adverse impact on product reliability and ultimately increase the cost of production, all or any of which could materially affect the Company's results of operations and financial condition. International sales have historically, and are expected to continue to, account for a significant portion of the Company's revenues. Foreign sales are subject to a number of risks, including political and economic instability in certain countries, fluctuating foreign exchange rates and regulatory requirements. The Company is also dependent on its ability to obtain and maintain relationships with qualified and proven distributors in foreign markets. Page 14 The Company's patents may not offer effective protection against competitors. Competitors may be able to design around the Company's patents or employ technologies not covered by such patents. In addition, the Company's patents may be challenged, and even if such patents are upheld, the diversion of financial and human resources associated with patent litigation could adversely affect the Company. The Company may be found to be violating the patents of others and forced to obtain a license under such patents or modify the design of its products. Rapid technological developments are expected to continue in the industries in which the Company competes. The Company may not be able to develop, manufacture and market products which meet changing user requirements or which successfully anticipate or respond to technological changes on a cost- effective and timely manner. The Company has established a market position in certain hard and soft tissue dental applications. While the Company believes that its technology incorporated into its Waterlase system should be effective in a broad range of medical applications, this belief is based largely on preliminary in vitro and in vivo research and extrapolation of observations in such clinical research. No assurances can be given that the Company's Waterlase(TM) technology will prove to be applicable to, or will find market acceptance in, other medical fields or that the Company will receive clearance from the FDA or other regulatory agencies to market the Waterlase(TM) system or other products embodying its HydroKinetic(TM) technology or variations thereof for any additional applications or in any additional jurisdictions. Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Not Applicable PART II -- OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings. --------------------------- From time to time, the Company is involved in legal proceedings incidental to its business. It is management's opinion that pending actions, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, and that adequate provision has been made for the resolution of such actions and proceedings. Item 2. Changes in Securities. ------------------------------- On May 1, 2001, the Company issued to GEM Holdings Corp. warrants to purchase an aggregate of 50,000 shares of common stock at $3.00 per share which expire on May 1, 2003. The warrants were issued in consideration for GEM having provided a guaranty of a $2.5 million credit facility which expires December 1, 2001, and as an inducement to GEM to continue to provide a guaranty in the future. The warrants were issued in reliance on an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 provided by Section 4(2) thereof. GEM represented to the Company that it is an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501 under the Securities Act, and made investment representations to the Company. The certificates representing the warrants bear legends restricting their transfer except in compliance with the Securities Act and stop transfer instructions have been placed on the shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants.
