                      REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTS

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Monarch Dental
Corporation (a Delaware corporation) as of September 30, 1997 and the related
consolidated statements of income for the three-month and nine-month periods
ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, and the consolidated statements of cash
flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the company's management.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial
information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial
data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting
matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the
expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole.
Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to the financial statements referred to above for them to be in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                   MONARCH DENTAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
               NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.   DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

     Monarch Dental Corporation ("Monarch"), a Delaware corporation, and
     subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company"), manages dental group practices
     in selected markets including Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, Wisconsin,
     Arkansas and Indiana at September 30, 1997. As of September 30, 1997, the
     Company managed 83 dental group practices in Texas, Wisconsin, Arkansas and
     Indiana.


2.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES BASIS OF PRESENTATION/BASIS OF
     CONSOLIDATION

     The financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30,
     1996 and 1997, have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant
     to Accounting Principles Board (ABP) Opinion No. 28, "Interim Financial
     Reporting." Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included
     in the financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
     accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to APB
     Opinion No. 28; nevertheless, management of the Company believes that the
     disclosures herein are adequate to prevent the information presented from
     being misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting
     only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the
     results of its operations for the three and nine months ended September 30,
     1996 and 1997, have been included herein. The results of operations for the
     three- and nine-month periods are not necessarily indicative of the results
     for the full year.

3.   EARNINGS PER SHARE

     In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
     of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 ("SFAS 128"), Earnings Per Share.
     SFAS 128 establishes new standards for computing and presenting earnings
     per share ("EPS"). Implementation of SFAS 128 is required for all financial
     statements issued subsequent to December 15, 1997 but requires pro forma
     disclosure in financial statements issued prior to that date.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements
within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21B
of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. The Company's actual results could
differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements.
Certain factors that might cause such a difference include, among others, the
constantly changing health care environment, the pace of development and
acquisition activity, the reimbursement rates for dental services, and other
risks detailed in the Company's Securities and Exchange Commission filings.
Other risk factors are listed in the Company's Prospectus dated July 17, 1997 as
filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

OVERVIEW

     The Company manages dental group practices in selected markets, including
Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, Wisconsin, Arkansas and Indiana at September 30,
1997. The managed dental facilities (each, a "Dental Office" and collectively,
the "Dental Offices") provide general dentistry services such as examinations,
cleanings, fillings, bonding, placing crowns and fitting and placing fixed or
removable prostheses. Many of the Dental Offices also provide specialty dental
services such as orthodontics, oral surgery, endodontics, periodontics and
pediatric dentistry. The Company focuses on fee-for-service dentistry,
supplementing this business with revenue from contracts with capitated managed
dental care plans.

     The Company seeks to build geographically dense networks of dental
providers by expanding within its existing markets. The Company has generated
growth within its existing markets by increasing patient volume and fees in
existing Dental Offices, either on a per-patient or per-procedure basis, by
increasing the physical space of existing Dental Offices and by opening Dental
Offices on a de novo basis. The Company has entered selected new markets by
acquiring dental group practices, which have a significant market presence, or
which the Company believes can achieve such a presence in the near term. The
Company then seeks to use the acquired dental group practice as a "pedestal"
from which to expand within the newly entered market.

     The following table sets forth the increase in the number of Dental Offices
owned and managed by the Company during each of the years indicated, including
the number of de novo Dental Offices and acquired Dental Offices in each such
year.

COMPONENTS OF REVENUE AND EXPENSES

Dental group practices revenue, net ("Revenue") represents the revenue of the
P.C.s or the Company (in states in which ownership of dental practices by the
Company is permitted), reported at estimated realizable amounts, received from
third-party payors and patients for dental services rendered at the Dental
Offices. Net revenue represents Revenue less amounts retained by the dental
group practices. The amounts retained by dental group practices represent
amounts paid by (i) the P.C.s as salary, benefits and other payments to employed
dentists and hygienists and contracted specialists and (ii) the Company as
salary, benefits and other payments to employed dentists and hygienists and
contracted specialists in states in which it operates and in which ownership of
dental practices by the Company is permitted (currently Wisconsin). The
Company's net revenue is dependent on the Revenue of the dental group practices.
Operating expenses consist of the expenses incurred by the Company in connection
with managing the Dental Offices, including salaries and benefits for personnel
other than dentists and hygienists, dental supplies, dental laboratory fees,
occupancy costs, equipment leases, management information systems and other
expenses related to dental practice operations. The Company also incurs
personnel and administrative expenses in 



                                        9

connection with maintaining a corporate function that provides management,
administrative, marketing and development services to the Dental Offices.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER
30, 1996

     Dental group practices revenue, net. Revenue increased from $9.2 million
for the three months ended September 30, 1996 to $17.4 million for the three
months ended September 30, 1996, an increase of $8.2 million, or 90.0%. This
increase resulted from the acquisitions of Convenient Dental Care, Inc.
("Convenient"), Arkansas Dental Health Associates, Inc. ("Arkansas Dental
Health"), United Dental Care Tom Harris D.D.S. and Associates ("United") and
Dental Centers of Indiana, Inc. ("DCI") in November 1996, January 1997, April
1997 and August 1997, respectively, which contributed combined Revenue of $3.2
million for the three months ended September 30, 1997. Dental offices in the
Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston and Wisconsin markets (the "existing markets")
contributed an additional $5.0 million of the increase in Revenue in 1997
resulting from the opening of four de novo Dental Offices, the physical
expansion of five existing Dental Offices, the acquisition of two solo practices
and the acquisition of Midwest Dental Care ("Midwest") in September 1996, which
provided two additional months of Revenue for the three months ended September
30, 1997.

     Fee-for-service Revenue (i.e., Revenue derived from indemnity dental plans,
preferred provider plans and direct payments by patients not covered by any
third-party payor) increased from $5.7 million for the three months ended
September 30, 1996 to $10.8 million for the three months ended September 30,
1997, an increase of $5.1 million, or 90.2%. This increase resulted from the
acquisitions of Convenient, Arkansas Dental Health, United and DCI which
contributed combined fee-for-service Revenue of $2.8 million for the three
months ended September 30, 1997. In existing markets, fee-for-service Revenue
increased from $5.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 1996 to
$8.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 1997, representing an
increase of $2.3 million, or 38.6%. The increase in existing markets resulted
from the opening of four de novo Dental Offices, the physical expansion of five
existing Dental Offices, the acquisition of two solo practices and the
acquisition of Midwest in September 1996 which provided two additional months of
fee-for-service Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 1997. Managed
dental care Revenue (i.e., Revenue from capitated managed dental care plans,
including capitation payments and patient co-payments) increased from $3.5
million for the three months ended September 30, 1996 to $6.6 million for the
three months ended September 30, 1997, an increase of $3.1 million, or 89.5%.
This increase resulted in part from the acquisitions of Convenient, Arkansas
Dental Health, United and DCI which contributed combined managed dental care
Revenue of $466,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1997. In existing
markets, managed dental care Revenue increased from $3.5 million for the three
months ended September 30, 1996 to $6.2 million for the three months ended
September 30, 1997, an increase of $2.7 million or 77.1%. The increase in
existing markets resulted from the opening of four de novo Dental Offices, the
physical expansion of five existing Dental Offices, the acquisition of two solo
practices and the acquisition of Midwest in September 1996 which provided two
additional months of managed dental care Revenue for the three months ended
September 30, 1997. As a percentage of Revenue, fee-for-service Revenue
increased slightly from 61.6% to 61.7% for the three months ended September 30,
1996 and 1997, respectively.

     Amounts retained by dental group practices. Amounts retained by dental
group practices increased from $3.0 million for the three months ended September
30, 1996 to $5.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 1997, an
increase of $2.7 million, or 91.2%. The increase was due to the acquisitions of
Convenient, Arkansas Dental Health, United and DCI which together added amounts
retained by dental group practices of $1.1 million for the three months ended
September 30, 1997. In existing markets, amounts retained by dental group
practices increased $1.6 million as dentist and hygienist compensation increased
as a result of a higher level of production at the Dental Offices and the
acquisition of Midwest in September 1996 which provided two additional months of
amounts retained by dental group practices for the three months ended September
30, 1997. As a percent of Revenue, amounts retained by dental group practices
increased slightly from 32.3% to 32.5% for the three months ended September 30,
1996 and 1997, respectively.

     Clinical salaries and benefits. Clinical salaries and benefits expense
increased from $1.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 1996 to
$3.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 1997, an increase of $1.4
million, or 85.7%. The increase resulted from the acquisitions of Convenient,
Arkansas Dental Health, United and DCI which added combined clinical salaries
and benefits expense of $668,000 for the three months ended September 30,1997.
In existing markets, clinical salaries and benefits expense increased $710,000
due to the opening of four de novo Dental Offices, the physical expansion of
five existing Dental Offices, the acquisition of two solo practices and the
acquisition of Midwest in September 1996 which provided two additional months of
clinical salaries and benefits


                                       10
<PAGE>   11
 expense for the three months ended September 30, 1997. As a percent of Revenue,
clinical salaries and benefits expense decreased slightly from 17.5% to 17.1%
for the three months ended September 30, 1996 and 1997, respectively.

     Other salaries and benefits. Other salaries and benefits expense increased
from $837,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1996 to $1.8 million for
the three months ended September 30, 1997, an increase of $929,000, or 111.0%.
This increase resulted primarily from the acquisition of Midwest in September
1996 which provided two additional months of other salaries and benefits expense
for the three months ended September 30, 1997 as well as the building of
additional corporate infrastructure to manage corporate growth. As a percent of
Revenue, other salaries and benefits expense increased from 9.1% to 10.1% for
the three months ended September 30, 1996 and 1997, respectively, as the three
months ended September 30, 1997 reflected a more fully staffed corporate
infrastructure.

     Dental supplies. Dental supplies expense increased from $517,000 for the
three months ended September 30, 1996 to $1.1 million for the three months ended
September 30, 1997, an increase of $602,000, or 116.4%. This increase resulted
from the acquisitions of Convenient, Arkansas Dental Health, United and DCI
which added $193,000 of combined dental supplies expense for the three months
ended September 30, 1997. In existing markets, dental supplies expense increased
$409,000 as a result of increased production and the acquisition of Midwest in
September 1996 which provided two additional months of dental supplies expense
for the three months ended September 30, 1997. As a percent of Revenue, dental
supplies expense increased from 5.6% to 6.4% for the three months ended
September 30, 1996 and 1997, respectively. This increase was due to higher
collective dental supplies expense at the acquired businesses.

     Laboratory fees. Laboratory fee expense increased from $403,000 for the
three months ended September 30, 1996 to $770,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 1997, an increase of $367,000, or 91.1%. This increase resulted
from the acquisitions of Convenient, Arkansas Dental Health, United and DCI
which added combined laboratory fee expense of $183,000 for the three months
ended September 30, 1997. In existing markets, laboratory fee expense increased
$184,000 as a result of increased production and the acquisition of Midwest in
September 1996 which provided two additional months of laboratory fee expense
for the three months ended September 30, 1997. As a percent of Revenue,
laboratory fee expense remained constant at 4.4% for the three months ended
September 30, 1996 and 1997, respectively.

     Occupancy. Occupancy expense increased from $497,000 for the three months
ended September 30, 1996 to $955,000 for the three months ended September 30,
1997, an increase of $458,000, or 92.2%. This increase resulted from the
acquisitions of Convenient, Arkansas Dental Health, United and DCI which added a
combined $153,000 to occupancy expense for the three months ended September 30,
1997. In existing markets, occupancy expense increased $305,000 resulting from
the opening of four de novo Dental Offices, the physical expansion of five
existing Dental Offices, the acquisition of two solo practices and the
acquisition of Midwest in September 1996 which provided two additional months of
occupancy expense for the three months ended September 30, 1997. As a percent of
Revenue, occupancy expense increased slightly from 5.4% to 5.5% for the three
months ended September 30, 1996 and 1997, respectively.

     Advertising. Advertising expense increased from $345,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 1996 to $516,000 for the three months ended September
30, 1997, an increase of $171,000, or 49.4%. This increase resulted from the
acquisitions of Convenient, Arkansas Dental Health, United and DCI which added a
combined $76,000 to advertising expense for the three months ended September 30,
1997. There was an increase of $95,000 in television and print advertising in
the existing markets in 1997. As a percent of Revenue, advertising expense
decreased from 3.8% to 3.0% for the three months ended September 30, 1996 and
1997, respectively. This decrease resulted from leveraging advertising expense
with greater market penetration in existing markets.

     Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense
increased from $374,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1996 to
$724,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1997, an increase of $350,000,
or 93.6%. This increase resulted from the acquisitions of Convenient, Arkansas
Dental Health, United and DCI which added combined depreciation and amortization
expense of $141,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1997. Depreciation
and amortization expense for existing markets increased $209,000 resulting from
the opening of four de novo Dental Offices, the physical expansion of five
existing Dental Offices, the acquisition of two solo practices and the
acquisition of Midwest in September 1996 which provided two additional months of
depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended September 30,
1997. As a percent of Revenue, depreciation and amortization expense increased
slightly from 4.1% to 4.2% for the three months ended September 30, 1996 and
1997, respectively.

     General and administrative. General and administrative expense increased
from $960,000 for the three months 


                                       11
<PAGE>   12

ended September 30, 1996 to $1.6 million for the three months ended September
30, 1997, an increase of $677,000, or 70.5%. This increase resulted from the
acquisitions of Convenient, Arkansas Dental Health, United and DCI which added
combined general and administrative expense of $203,000 for the three months
ended September 30, 1997, the acquisition of Midwest in September 1996 which
provided two additional months of general and administrative expense for the
three months ended September 30, 1997 and the expansion of the Company's
corporate infrastructure to manage growth. As a percent of Revenue, general and
administrative expense decreased from 10.5% to 9.4% for the three months ended
September 30, 1996 and 1997, respectively. This decrease was due principally to
the acquisitions having lower general and administrative costs as a percent of
Revenue than the Company's existing operations.

     Operating income. Operating income increased from $670,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 1996 to $1.3 million for the three months ended
September 30, 1997, an increase of $619,000, or 92.4%. This increase resulted
from the acquisitions of Convenient, Arkansas Dental Health, United and DCI
which added combined operating income of $381,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 1997. Income from the Company's existing markets increased
$488,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1997, which was offset by
increased corporate expenses of $250,000 due to the development of corporate
infrastructure. As a percent of Revenue, operating income increased slightly
from 7.3% to 7.4% for the three months ended September 30, 1996 and 1997,
respectively.

     Interest expense, net. Interest expense, net decreased from $467,000 for
the three months ended September 30, 1996 to $150,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 1997, a decrease of $317,000, or 68.0%. This decrease is
attributable to the retirement of $24.8 million in outstanding debt under a
senior secured credit facility (the "Credit Facility") with the use of proceeds
obtained from the Company's initial public offering on July 23, 1997 compared to
interest expense on average debt outstanding of $20.7 million under the Credit
Facility for the three months ended September 30, 1996.

     Minority interest. Minority interest expense was $30,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 1997 as a result of the acquisition of DCI, which
owns a fifty percent ownership in two partnerships operating four Dental Offices
in Indiana.

     Income taxes. Income tax expense increased from $79,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 1996 to $429,000 for the three months ended September
30, 1997, an increase of $350,000, or 442.6%. This increase was the result of
higher net income before taxes, which increased from $203,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 1996 to $1.1 million for the three months ended
September 30, 1997, an increase of $907,000, or 446.5%.

     Extraordinary loss. The Company incurred an extraordinary loss of
$264,000, net of tax for the three months ended September 30, 1997 as it

million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, an increase of $9.5
million, or 106.0%. This increase resulted in part from the acquisitions of

managed dental care Revenue of $713,000 for the nine months ended September 30,
1997. In existing markets, managed dental care Revenue increased from $9.0
million for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 to $17.8 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 1997, an increase of $8.8 million or 97.8%. This
increase resulted from the opening of four de novo Dental Offices, the physical
expansion of five existing Dental Offices, the acquisition of two solo practices
and the acquisitions of MacGregor and Midwest in February 1996 and September
1996, respectively, which provided one and eight additional months of managed
dental care Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 1997. As a
percentage of Revenue, fee-for-service Revenue increased from 60.9% to 61.5% for

30, 1996 to $16.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, an

Convenient, Arkansas Dental Health, United and DCI which together added amounts
retained by dental group practices of $2.6 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997. In existing markets, amounts retained by dental group
practices increased $6.2 million, or 83.8%, as dentist and hygienist
compensation increased as a result of a higher level of production at the Dental
Offices and the acquisitions of MacGregor and Midwest in February 1996 and
September 1996, respectively, which provided one and eight additional months of
amounts retained by dental group practices for the nine months ended September
30, 1997. As a percent of Revenue, amounts retained by dental group practices
increased from 32.1% to 33.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and

million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, an increase of $4.4
million, or 110.4%. The increase resulted from the acquisitions of Convenient,
Arkansas Dental Health, United and DCI which added combined clinical salaries
and  benefits expense of $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30,
1997. In existing markets, clinical salaries and benefits expense increased $3.0
million as a result of the opening of four de novo Dental Offices, the physical
expansion of five existing Dental Offices, the acquisition of two solo practices

from 17.1% to 17.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1997,

     Other salaries and benefits. Other salaries and benefits expense increased
from $2.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 to $4.8 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, an increase of $2.8 million, or
140.6%. This increase resulted primarily from the acquisitions of MacGregor and
Midwest in February 1996 and September 1996, respectively, which provided one
and eight additional months of other salaries and benefits expense for the nine
months ended September 30, 1997 as well as the building of additional corporate
infrastructure to manage corporate growth. As a percent of Revenue, other
salaries and benefits expense increased from 8.6% to 9.9% for 1996 and 1997,
respectively, as the nine months ended September 30, 1997 reflected a more fully
staffed corporate infrastructure.

the nine months ended September 30, 1996 to $3.0 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 1997, an increase of $1.7 million, or 137.6%. This increase
resulted from the acquisitions of Convenient, Arkansas Dental Health, United and
DCI which added $400,000 of combined dental supplies expense for the nine months
ended September 30, 1997. In existing markets, dental supplies expense increased
$1.3 million as a result of increased production and the acquisitions of
MacGregor and Midwest in February 1996 and September 1996, respectively, which
provided one and eight additional months of dental supplies expense for the nine
months ended September 30, 1997. As a percent of Revenue, dental supplies
expense increased from 5.6% to 6.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 1996
and 1997, respectively. This increase was due to higher dental supply expense at
the acquired businesses.

     Laboratory fees. Laboratory fee expense increased from $1.1 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 1996 to $2.0 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997, an increase of $880,000, or 77.1%. This increase resulted

which added combined laboratory fee expense of $427,000 for the nine months
ended September 30, 1997. In existing markets, laboratory fee expense increased
$453,000 as a result of increased production and the acquisitions of MacGregor
and Midwest in February 1996 and September 1996, respectively, which 


                                       13
<PAGE>   14

provided one and eight additional months of laboratory fee expense for the nine
months ended September 30, 1997. As a percent of Revenue, laboratory fee expense
decreased from 5.0% to 4.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and
1997, respectively, as the result of purchasing internal labs in connection with
the Midwest and United acquisitions.

     Occupancy. Occupancy expense increased from $1.2 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996 to $2.6 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997, an increase of $1.4 million, or 116.5%. This increase
resulted from the acquisitions of Convenient, Arkansas Dental Health, United and
DCI which added a combined $321,000 to occupancy expense for the nine months
ended September 30, 1997. In existing markets, occupancy expense increased $1.1
million resulting from the opening of four de novo Dental Offices, the physical
expansion of five existing Dental Offices, the acquisition of two solo practices
and the acquisitions of MacGregor and Midwest in February 1996 and September
1996, respectively, which provided one and eight additional months of occupancy
expense for the nine months ended September 30, 1997. As a percent of Revenue,
occupancy expense increased slightly from 5.3% to 5.4% for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 and 1997, respectively.

     Advertising. Advertising expense increased from $920,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996 to $1.3 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997, an increase of $342,000, or 37.2%. This increase resulted
from the acquisitions of Convenient, Arkansas Dental Health, United and DCI
which added a combined $152,000 to advertising expense for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997. There was an increase of $190,000 in television and print
advertising in the existing markets for the nine months ended September 30,
1997. As a percent of Revenue, advertising expense decreased from 4.0% to 2.6%
for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1997, respectively. This
decrease resulted from leveraging advertising expense with greater market
penetration in existing markets.

     Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense
increased from $935,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 to $1.9
million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, an increase of $1.0
million, or 109.3%. This increase resulted from the acquisitions of Convenient,
Arkansas Dental Health, United and DCI which added combined depreciation and
amortization expense of $274,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997.
In existing markets, depreciation and amortization expense increased $748,000
resulting from the opening of four de novo Dental Offices, the physical
expansion of five existing Dental Offices, the acquisition of two solo practices
and the acquisitions of MacGregor and Midwest in February 1996 and September
1996, respectively, which provided one and eight additional months of occupancy
expense for the nine months ended September 30, 1997. As a percent of Revenue,
depreciation and amortization expense remained constant at 4.1% for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996 and 1997, respectively.

     General and administrative. General and administrative expense increased
from $2.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 to $4.6 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, an increase of $2.3 million, or
104.0%. This increase resulted in part from the acquisitions of Convenient,
Arkansas Dental Health, United and DCI which added combined general and
administrative expense of $487,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997.
In existing markets, general and administrative expense increased $1.8 million
resulting from the opening of four de novo Dental Offices, the physical
expansion of five existing Dental Offices, the acquisition of two solo practices
and the acquisitions of MacGregor and Midwest in February 1996 and September
1996, respectively, which provided one and eight additional months of general
and administrative expense for the nine months ended September 30, 1997. As a
percent of Revenue, general and administrative expense decreased slightly from
9.8% to 9.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1997,
respectively.

     Operating income. Operating income increased from $2.0 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996 to $3.4 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997, an increase of $1.4 million, or 74.2%. This increase
resulted from the acquisitions of Convenient, Arkansas Dental Health, United and
DCI which added combined operating income of $776,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997. Income from the Company's existing markets increased $1.6
million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, which was offset by
increased corporate expenses of $944,000 due to the development of corporate
infrastructure. As a percent of Revenue, operating income decreased from 8.5% to
7.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1997, respectively,
primarily due to the increased corporate expenses outweighing the increased
operating margins of the acquired businesses.

     Interest expense, net. Interest expense, net increased from $1.1 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 to $1.4 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 1997, an increase of $240,000, or 21.1%. This increase is
attributable to average debt outstanding under the Credit Facility of $18.0
million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 compared to $16.1 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. The Company retired $24.8 million
in 


                                       14
<PAGE>   15

outstanding debt under the Credit Facility with the use of proceeds obtained
from the Company's initial public offering on July 23, 1997.

     Minority interest. Minority interest expense was $30,000 for the nine

owns a fifty percent ownership in two partnerships operating four Dental Offices
in Indiana.

     Income taxes. Income tax expense increased from $324,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996 to $784,000 for the nine months ended September
30, 1997, an increase of $460,000, or 141.8%. This increase was the result of
higher net income before taxes, which increased from $834,000 for 1996 to $2.0
million for 1997, an increase of $1.2 million, or 142.7%.

     Extraordinary Item. The Company incurred an extraordinary loss of
$264,000, net of tax for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 as it 
extinguished its Credit Facility and wrote off $431,000 in unamortized loan 
fees, net of a tax benefit of $167,000.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     At September 30, 1997, the Company had a $1.4 million working capital
surplus, representing an increase of $5.4 million from the working capital
deficit of $4.0 million at December 31, 1996. This working capital surplus
included $7.0 million in current liabilities, including $1.7 million in accounts
payable, $2.7 million in accrued liabilities, $1.7 million in amounts payable to
dental group practices as consideration for accounts receivable acquired from
such group practices and $376,000 in current maturities of notes payable and
capital lease obligations. These current liabilities were partially offset by
current assets, including $3.9 million in cash and cash equivalents and $4.4
million in accounts receivable, net of allowances. The Company's principal
sources of liquidity as of September 30, 1997 consisted of cash and cash
equivalents, net accounts receivable and borrowing capacity under the Credit
Facility. The repayment of $24.8 million of indebtedness under the Credit
Facility with a portion of the net proceeds from the recently completed initial
public offering and the retention of a portion of the net proceeds for general
corporate purposes has eliminated the Company's prior working capital deficit.
However, there can be no assurance the Company will not have working capital
deficits in the future, particularly if additional indebtedness requires current
amortization of principal.

     For the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1997, cash provided by
operations was $1.2 million and $3.5 million, respectively.

     Cash used in investing activities was $21.6 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996 and $8.9 million for the nine months ended September
30, 1997. In the nine months ended September 30, 1996, $20.7 million was
utilized for acquisitions and $884,000 was invested in the purchase of
additional property and equipment. In the nine months ended September 30, 1997,
$7.4 million was utilized for acquisitions and $1.5 million was invested in the
purchase of additional property and equipment.

     For the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1997, cash provided by
financing activities was $20.6 million and $8.2 million, respectively. In the
nine months ended September 30, 1996, the cash provided was comprised of $19.9
million in net borrowings and $9.4 million in proceeds from the issuance of
stock, partially offset by $6.7 million used to repurchase stock and $2.0
million in distributions to the Company's then sole stockholder. In the nine
months ended September 30, 1997, the cash provided was comprised of $38.6
million in proceeds from the issuance of stock, offset by the net repayment of
$22.3 million in outstanding debt and payments to owners of Redeemable Preferred
Stock of $8.0 million to redeem this stock in conjunction with the initial
public offering.

     The Company extinguished its Credit Facility, which was to expire on August
29, 1999, with a bank. The Company has entered into a new Credit Facility with
a bank syndicate. Under the new Credit Facility, the Company may borrow up to
$30.0 million. As of September 30, 1997, the Company had no outstanding
borrowings under the Credit Facility. The amounts outstanding under the new
Credit Facility bear interest at variable rates which are based upon either the
lender's base rate or LIBOR, plus, in either case, a margin which varies
according to the ratio of the Company's funded debt to EBITDA, each as defined
in the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility prohibits the Company from
incurring indebtedness, incurring liens, disposing of assets, making
investments or making acquisitions above a predetermined consideration level
without bank approval, and  requires the Company to maintain certain financial
ratios on an ongoing basis.  The Credit Facility is secured by pledges of all
of the outstanding capital stock  of, or other equity interests in, the
Company's subsidiaries, and a lien on  substantially all of the assets of the
Company.
