1.   Basis of Presentation

     The consolidated  financial  statements of Schick  Technologies,  Inc. (the
     "Company")  have  been  prepared  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted
     accounting  principles for interim  financial  information and the rules of
     the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") for quarterly reports on
     Form  10-Q,  and  do  not  include  all of  the  information  and  footnote
     disclosures  required  by  generally  accepted  accounting  principles  for
     complete  financial   statements.   These  statements  should  be  read  in

5.   Earnings (Loss) Per Share

     Effective  December 31, 1997,  the Company  adopted  statement of Financial
     Accounting  Standards  No.  128,  "Earnings  per Share"  ("FAS  128") which
     requires presentation of basic earnings per share ("Basic EPS") and diluted
     earnings  per share  ("Diluted  EPS").  Basic EPS is  computed  by dividing
     income available to common stockholders by the  weighted-average  number of
     common shares  outstanding  during the period.  Diluted EPS gives effect to
     all dilutive  potential common shares  outstanding  during the period.  The
     computation  of  Diluted  EPS  does  not  assume  conversion,  exercise  or
     contingent exercise of securities that would have an antidilutive effect on
     earnings.  Earnings  per share for the  three and six month  periods  ended
     September  30,1997  have been  restated  for the  adoption of FAS 128.  The
     adoption of FAS 128 did not have a significant impact on the loss per share
     for the periods ended September 30, 1997.

     The computation of basic earnings per share and diluted  earnings per share
     for the three- and six-month  periods ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 are
     as follows:

6.   Investment in Photobit

     On July 14,  1998,  the  Company  invested an  additional  $250 in Photobit
     Corporation,   a  developer  of  complementary   metal-oxide  semiconductor
     ("CMOS"), active-pixel ("APS") imaging technology. As of September 30, 1998
     the Company's  investment in Photobit  Corporation  amounts to $1,250.  The
     Company  is the  exclusive  licensee  of the  APS  technology  for  medical
     applications and utilizes the technology in both its  bone-mineral  density
     assessment  device and certain  components  of its  computed  dental  x-ray
     imaging system.

Item 2.  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,  as  amended,  and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  Actual results,
events and  circumstances  could differ  materially from those set forth in such
statements due to various  factors.  Such factors include the changing  economic
and competitive conditions in the medical and dental digital radiography market,
regulatory  approvals,  technological  developments,  protection  of  technology
utilized by the Company,  patent infringement  claims and other litigation,  and
further risks and  uncertainties,  including those detailed in Exhibit 99 to the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K and in the Company's other filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

General

The Company  designs,  develops and  manufactures  digital  imaging  systems and
devices  for the dental and  medical  markets.  In the field of  dentistry,  the
Company has developed,  and currently  manufactures  and markets,  an intra-oral
digital  radiography  system.  The  Company has also  developed  a bone  mineral
density assessment device to assist in the diagnosis of osteoporosis,  which was
introduced  in  December  of 1997.  The  Company is also  developing  large-area
radiographic imaging devices for digital mammography.

Results of Operations

Net revenue for the three  months  ended  September  30,  1998,  increased $ 6.0
million (73%) to $14.2 million from $8.2 million during the comparable period of
fiscal 1998. Net revenue for the six months ended September 30, 1998,  increased
$ 16.0 million  (112%) to $30.2 million from $14.3 million during the comparable
period  of fiscal  1998.  The  strong  growth  is  attributable  to sales of the
Company's   AccuDEXA(TM)  bone  mineral  density  assessment  device  which  was
introduced in December 1997 combined with  increased unit sales of the Company's
CDR(TM) dental products resulting from increased market awareness and broadening
sales  distribution.  The increase in unit CDR(TM) volume is partially offset by
lower  average  selling  prices and an  increased  level of sales to dealers and
distributors.  Sales volume for the six months ended September 30, 1998 was also
positively  impacted by a supply interruption of a component used to manufacture
CDR(TM)  dental  products  during the fourth quarter of fiscal 1998 which pushed
shipment on  approximately  $2.5 million of CDR(TM)  sales orders into the first
quarter of fiscal 1999.  Sales volume for the three months ended  September  30,
1998 was negatively  impacted by $2.5 million of in-process orders that were not
shipped at the end of the second quarter  resulting in lower than expected sales
volume for the quarter.

Cost of sales for the three months ended  September  30,  1998,  increased  $3.1
million (79%) to $6.9 million (48.7% of net revenue) from $3.9 million (47.0% of
net revenue) for the comparable period of fiscal 1998. Cost of sales for the six
months ended September 30, 1998,  increased $7.5 million (111%) to $14.2 million
(46.8% of net revenues)  from $6.7 million  (47.0% of net  revenues)  during the
comparable  period of fiscal 1998. The increase in cost of sales as a percentage
of revenue for the three month  period ended  September  30, 1998 as compared to
the same period in fiscal 1998 is the result of an increase in certain  indirect
labor expenses related to a  reclassification  of Quality Control and Inspection
personnel  from R&D to  production.  The  Company  also  recognized  a charge of
$100,000 related to excess and slow moving  inventory and incurred  royalties on
technology utilized in the AccuDEXA(TM) and, in fiscal 1999, for certain CDR(TM)
dental products.

Selling and marketing  expenses for the three months ending  September 30, 1998,
increased  $2.6 million  (122%) to $4.6 million (32.6% of net revenue) from $2.1
million (25.4% of net revenue) for the comparable period of fiscal 1998. Selling
and marketing  expenses for the six months ended  September 30, 1998,  increased
$4.9 million  (127%) to $8.8 million  (29.1% of net revenues)  from $3.9 million
(27.2% of net  revenues)  during  the  comparable  period of fiscal  1998.  This
increase was  attributable  principally  to the hiring and training of new sales
representatives  as the Company  continued  to increase the size of its national
sales force and its promotional  programs to obtain greater market awareness and
to develop market strategies for new products.


                                       6

General and  administrative  expenses for the three months ended  September  30,
1998,  increased $0.9 million (103%) to $1.7 million (12.2% of net revenue) from
$0.9 million  (10.4% of net revenue) for the  comparable  period of fiscal 1998.
General and administrative expenses for the six months ended September 30, 1998,
increased  $1.4 million (78%) to $3.1 million (10.2 % of net revenues) from $1.7
million (12.1% of net revenues) during the comparable period of fiscal 1998. The
increase in  administrative  costs is  attributable  primarily  to the hiring of
administrative personnel,  personnel-related  spending such as recruiting and an
increase in the Company's allowance for doubtful accounts.

Research and development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 1998,
decreased  $0.1 million  (14.0%) to $0.8 million (5.9% of net revenue) from $0.9
million  (11.8% of net  revenue)  for the  comparable  period  of  fiscal  1998.
Research and  development  expenses for the six months  ended  September,  1998,
increased $0.3 million  (16.1%) to $1.9 million (6.2% of net revenues) from $1.6
million  (11.3% of net revenues) for the  comparable  period of fiscal 1998. The
decrease in costs for the three-month  period ended September 30, 1998 primarily
reflects  lower  spending on testing  materials and services and the transfer of
research and development employees to the quality control department.

In July 1997, the Company,  in connection with the settlement of certain pending
patent  litigation  involving a United States  patent  directed to a display for
digital dental  radiographs,  was granted a worldwide,  non-exclusive fully paid
license  covering such patent in  consideration  for a payment by the Company of
$600  thousand.  The company  expensed that license fee during the quarter ended
June 30, 1997.

Interest  income  decreased to $180 thousand in the three months ended September
30, 1998 from $449 thousand in the  comparable  period of fiscal 1998.  Interest
income for the six months ended  September  1998 decreased to $422 thousand from
$498  thousand  for the  comparable  period  of fiscal  1998.  The  decrease  is
attributable   to  lower   cash   balances   and   investments   in   short-term
interest-bearing  securities  that  were  purchased  with  the  proceeds  of the
Company's Initial Public Offering (the "IPO").  Interest expense of $51 thousand
for the six month period ended September  30,1997 were principally  attributable
to a loan from Merck & Co. Inc. that was repaid upon consummation of the IPO.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net  proceeds  from the  July  1997 IPO were  approximately  $33.5  million.  At
September 30, 1998,  the Company had $2.4 million in cash and cash  equivalents,
$7.1 million in  short-term  investments  and $33.6  million in working  capital
compared  to $6.2  million  in cash  and  cash  equivalents,  $14.0  million  in
short-term investments and $33.7 million in working capital at March 31, 1998.

During the six months ended September 30, 1998, cash used in operations was $8.3
million compared to $3.1 million used in operations during the comparable period
of fiscal 1998. The increased cash used in operations is primarily  attributable
to increases in the Company's inventory and accounts receivable levels. Accounts
receivable  increased  from $10.2  million at March 31, 1998 to $16.1 million at
September 30, 1998 due to the increase in sales,  extended payment terms granted
to certain foreign and domestic  distributors and, primarily,  to an increase in
the average days outstanding.  The Company has recently implemented a program to
improve its accounts  receivable  collection  efforts and expects its days sales
outstanding  to decrease in future  periods.  The  increase in inventory of $4.7
million from $12.2  million at March 31, 1998 to $16.8  million at September 30,
1998 is primarily  attributable  to a work in process and finished goods buildup
in  anticipation  of sales volume during the quarter ended December 31, 1998 and
to the delay in shipment of the second quarter in-process orders.

The  Company's  capital  expenditures  during  the  six-month  period  were $2.2
million.  Capital  expenditures  during the six-month period included  leasehold
improvements, computers, and production equipment. The Company's planned capital
expenditures  for the remainder of fiscal 1999 are  approximately  $1.0 million,
primarily  for  computer  equipment,   leasehold   improvements  and  production
equipment.  Management  currently  believes that existing capital  resources are
adequate  to meet its  current  cash  requirements.  There can be no  assurance,
however,  that  changes in the  Company's  plans or other events  affecting  the
Company's   operations  will  not  result  in  accelerated  or  unexpected  cash
requirements.

Year 2000 Compliance

GENERAL

As the century concludes,  the Company is aware of the risks associated with the
Year 2000  computer  problem.  The Year 2000  problem is the result of  computer
programs  being  written  using  two  digits  rather  than  four to  define  the
applicable  year.  A  computer  program  that has date  sensitive  software  may
recognize  a date using  "00" as the year 1900  rather  than the year  2000.  If
systems  fail to process  date  information  correctly  when the year changes to
2000, many problems could occur.

The Company has  established a Y2K Task Force that is currently  evaluating  the
Company's  potential  for  Year  2000  related  problems,  with  respect  to the
Company's information technology ("IT") and non-information  technology systems.
The Y2K Task Force program  includes  three phases:  (1) an assessment  phase to
identify Year 2000 issues;  (2) a modification  phase to correct any area of the
Company's  business  which is not Year 2000  compliant;  and (3) a test phase to
confirm that all systems work  successfully.  The Company's  potential  problems
focus on three key areas of business operations:  products and services provided
to the Company by  third-party  vendors;  systems used by the Company to run its
business internally; and the Company's product line.

The Company has been  sending a Y2K Survey to its vendors in order to  determine
if their  operations  and the products  and services  they provide are Year 2000
compliant.  The responses  the Company  receives to the Y2K Survey will help the
Company  evaluate the extent to which it may be  vulnerable  to its vendors' own
Year 2000 issues.  Where  practicable,  the Company will attempt to mitigate its
risks with  respect to vendors  that are not Year 2000  compliant  and may,  for
example,  seek  alternative  sources of  supplies.  However,  Year 2000  related
failures  by vendors  remain a  possibility  and could  have a material  adverse
impact on the Company's results of operations or financial condition.

The Company is currently in the process of evaluating  the  capabilities  of its
internal  systems to process the Year 2000 correctly.  The Company believes that
most vendor-developed software which it utilizes in its internal operations will
be made Year  2000  compliant  before  the end of 1999  through  vendor-provided
updates or  replacements  with other Year 2000 compliant  hardware and software.
Additionally,  the  Company is testing its  internally  developed  software  and
hardware that are included in the products sold to customers.  Such  assessments
are  expected to be  completed  by early  calendar  1999.  If  modifications  or
conversion to existing  software or conversion to new software become  necessary
and modifications or conversions are not made, or are not completed timely,  the
Year 2000 issue could have a material adverse effect on the Company's  business,
financial condition and results of operations.

COSTS

The total  costs  associated  with  required  modifications  to become Year 2000
compliant are not expected to be material to the Company's  financial  position.
Current  estimated  costs  for the Y2K  Task  Force  program  are  approximately
$250,000;  however,  such  costs are  subject  to change as a result of  ongoing
evaluation  of the  extent  of the Year  2000  problem  at the  Company  and its
suppliers and affiliates.  As of the current date,  costs incurred in connection
with the Y2K Task Force program have been insignificant.

RISKS

The  Company  is  developing  specific  contingency  plans in the event that the
Company's  Year 2000  issues  are not  resolved  prior to time  that any  system
failures or  interruptions  in day-to-day  business  operations could occur. The
contingency plans are evolving as the Year 2000 assessment progresses.

Due to the general uncertainty  inherent in the Year 2000 problem,  resulting in
part from the  uncertainty of the Year 2000 readiness of third parties with whom
the Company  relies on, the Company is unable to  determine at this time whether
the  consequences  of Year 2000 failures will have a material  adverse impact on
the Company's  results of operations  but the Company  believes  that,  with the
completion  of  the  project  as  scheduled,   the  possibility  of  significant
interruptions of normal operations should be reduced.

PART II  OTHER INFORMATION


Item 2.  Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds

(c) On September 16, 1998,  Francis Chucker elected to make a cashless surrender
of Warrants exercisable to purchase 6,720 shares of common stock for an exercise
price of $7.86 per share and in return  received  3,557 shares of the  Company's
Common Stock. Such issuances were pursuant to section 4(2) of the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended.

(d) On July 7, 1997, the Company's  initial public offering (the  "Offering") of
1,750,000  shares of its common  stock,  $.01 par value per share  (the  "Common
Stock") closed. The Company's  registration  statement on Form S-1 (Registration
No. 333-33731) was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange  Commission
on  June  30,  1997.  As  part  of the  Offering,  the  Company  granted  to the
Underwriters  over-allotment  options to purchase up to 262,500 shares of Common
Stock  ("the  "Underwriters'  Option").  On  July  10,  1997,  the  underwriters
exercised the  Underwriters'  Option  purchasing  262,500 shares of Common Stock
from the Company.  The aggregate  offering  price of 2,012,500  shares of Common
Stock  registered  for the  account  of the  Company  pursuant  to the  Offering
(inclusive of the Underwriters' Option) was $37.2 million.

     The aggregate net proceeds received by the Company from the Offering and as
a  result  of  the  exercise  of  the  Underwriters'   Option,  after  deducting
underwriting  fees,  commissions  and expenses  were $33.5  million.  During the
period of July 1, 1997 through  September 30, 1998,  such net proceeds have been
applied as follows:  (i) $1.3  million  for  leasehold  improvements;  (ii) $4.8
million for  property,  plant,  and  equipment;  (iii) $1.5  million to purchase
certain assets of Keystone Dental X-Ray Corp.;  (iv) $1.3 million to purchase an
interest in Photobit,  Inc.;  (v) $1.5 million to pay the notes  payable and the
interest  thereon  to  Merck & Co.,  Inc.;  (vi)  $3.6  million  to  short  term
investments;  (vii) $1.7  million to money  market  investments;  and (viii) the
remaining $17.8 million was used for working capital  purposes.  None of the net
proceeds were paid, directly or indirectly, to directors,  officers, controlling
stockholders, or affiliates of the Company.
