                          COAST DENTAL SERVICES, INC.
              CONDENSED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

        The accompanying Condensed Financial Statements are unaudited and
should be read in conjunction with the audited Financial Statements and notes
thereto for the year ended December 31, 1997.

        In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair
presentation of such Condensed Financial Statements have been included. Such
adjustments consist only of normal recurring items. Certain amounts in the
Condensed Statements of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1997
have been reclassified to conform to the September 30, 1998 presentation.
Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The
Condensed Financial Statements and notes thereto are presented as permitted by
the Securities and Exchange Commission and do not contain certain information
included in the Coast Dental Services, Inc. (the "Company") annual Financial
Statements and notes thereto.

NOTE 2.  EARNINGS PER SHARE

         The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 128, Earnings per Share ("Statement 128"). Statement 128 requires that the
primary and fully diluted earnings per share be replaced by basic and diluted
earnings per share, respectively. The basic calculation computes earnings per
share based only on the weighted average number of shares outstanding as
compared to primary earnings per share which included common stock equivalents.
The diluted earnings per share calculation is computed similarly to fully
diluted earnings per share. The basic earnings per common share is based on the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period
adjusted for actual shares issued during the period. The diluted earnings per
common share is equal to the basic shares plus the incremental shares
outstanding as if all issued options were exercised as of the end of the
period. The number of incremental shares is determined using the treasury stock
methodology described in Statement 128.

NOTE 3.  INCOME TAXES

         Upon completion of the initial public offering, the Company terminated
its status as an S Corporation. The pro forma income tax adjustment represents
a provision for federal and state income taxes at the statutory rate in effect
for the period presented (at an effective rate of 39.0%) as if the Company had
not been treated as an S Corporation. On February 11, 1997, the Company
completed its initial public offering of Common Stock and automatically
converted from an S Corporation to a C Corporation becoming obligated to pay
federal and state income taxes.

         The Company is required to use Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109 ("Statement 109"), Accounting for Income Taxes. Under
Statement 109, the asset and liability method is used in accounting for income
taxes. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary
differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for
financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes, and
are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when
the differences are expected to reverse.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. 

A.  OVERVIEW

        Coast Dental Services, Inc. ("the Company") opened its first Dental
Center in May 1992 and since then has opened 41 internally developed Dental
Centers and added 57 acquired Dental Centers located in Florida, Georgia and
Tennessee. During the quarter, the Company consolidated two previously acquired
Dental Centers into one location. The Company derives its revenue through fees
earned from the Coast P.A. ("Coast P.A." refers collectively to the Coast
Florida P.A., the Coast Dental Services of Florida P.A., the Coast Dental
Services of Georgia P.C. and the Coast Dental Services of Tennessee P.A.) for
providing management services and support at the Dental Centers pursuant to
long-term services and support agreements (collectively "Services and Support
Agreements"). As of September 30, 1998, 102 licensed Dentists (the "Affiliated
Dentists") were employed by the Coast P.A. servicing over 600,000 patients. The
Company expects to expand the Coast Dental Network ("Coast Dental Network"
refers collectively to the Dental Centers and Affiliated Dentists) in new and
existing markets through the addition of internally developed and acquired
Dental Centers.

        Pursuant to the Services and Support Agreement with a Coast P.A., the
Company provides management services and support to facilitate the development
and growth of Dental Centers. Operating expenses at the Dental Centers, with
the exception of compensation paid to the Affiliated Dentists and dental
hygienists, are expenses of the Company and are recognized as incurred. The
services and support fees paid to the Company by the Coast P.A. are based upon
a gross percentage of revenue which varies between markets.

        The Company opened 12 internally developed Dental Centers prior to
1997, nine in 1997 and 21 during the first nine months of 1998 in Florida and
Georgia. The average cost to the Company of adding an internally developed
Dental Center has been approximately $225,000. The Company and the Coast P.A.
added 17 acquired Dental Centers in 1996, 20 in 1997, 20 during the first nine
months of 1998 located in Florida and the Nashville, Tennessee market. The
purchase price for these Dental Centers consisted of $12.4 million in cash,
$6.4 million in promissory notes, $.2 million in assumed liabilities and $.1
million of the Company's Common Stock (5,979 shares). Had the 1997 and 1998
acquisitions occurred at the beginning of 1997, the additional net revenue
earned by the Company would have been $13.0 million and $10.4 million for 1997
and the nine months ended September 30, 1998, respectively.

</TABLE>

         Net Revenue. For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1997
and 1998, net revenue increased $3,577,392 from $5,624,239 to $9,201,631 and
$11,001,441 from $13,560,677 to $24,562,118, respectively. This increase was
primarily due to the increase in net revenue attributable to the 42 comparable
Dental Centers (Dental Centers that were open throughout the periods being
compared), the 26 acquired Dental Centers (including the two consolidated
acquired Dental Centers) and the 30 internally developed Dental Centers.
Additionally, increases in net revenue are primarily driven by increases in
patient visits. For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1997 and
1998, patient visits for the Dental Centers increased 99.5% from 59,437 to
118,576 and 100.8% from 154,171 to 309,596, respectively.

         Staff Salaries. For the quarter and nine months ended September 30,
1997 and 1998, staff salaries increased $1,369,425 from $1,746,135 to
$3,115,560 and $3,783,802 from $4,159,867 to $7,943,669, respectively. This
increase was primarily caused by an increase in Dental Center regional
management and Dental Center staffing due to the addition of internally
developed and acquired Dental Centers. While an internally developed Dental
Center can operate with a relatively limited dental staff in the early stages
of its development, the services of a dentist, dental hygienist, dental
assistant and front desk manager are still necessary. As a result, staff
salaries as a percentage of net revenue will typically be higher in the first
six months of operation until patient visits are increased. In addition, for
acquired Dental Centers, staff salaries as a percentage of net revenue will
typically be higher in the first three to six months following acquisition as
the Company implements the Coast Operating Model to increase productivity and
efficiency. Staff salaries include the compensation paid to administrative
staff at each Dental Center, including the dental assistants, office managers,
sterilization technicians and front desk managers.

         Dental Supplies and Lab Fees. For the quarter and nine months ended
September 30, 1997 and 1998, dental supplies and lab fees increased $498,171
from $797,475 to $1,295,646 and $1,550,167 from $1,957,421 to $3,507,588,
respectively. This increase was caused primarily by the increase in patient
visits and dental services 


                                       8
<PAGE>   9


provided at the 42 comparable Dental Centers, the 26 acquired Dental Centers
and the 30 internally developed Dental Centers. Dental supplies and lab fees as
a percent of net revenue will typically be higher in the first three to six
months following acquisition as the Company implements the Coast Operating
Model to increase productivity and efficiency.

         Advertising. For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1997
and 1998, advertising increased $213,136 from $326,738 to $539,874 and $650,485
from $833,452 to $1,483,937, respectively. This increase was caused primarily
by implementation of a more aggressive advertising program in markets where
internally developed Dental Centers were opened.

         Rent. For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1997 and
1998, rent increased $501,939 from $624,100 to $1,126,039 and $1,455,771 from
$1,389,972 to $2,845,743, respectively. This increase was caused primarily by
the addition of the internally developed and acquired Dental Centers
principally in Atlanta, Georgia, which generally has higher rent per office.
The acquired Dental Centers also typically have a higher rent expense.

         Depreciation. For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1997
and 1998, depreciation increased $121,042 from $151,909 to $272,951 and
$437,404 from $347,350 to $784,754, respectively. This increase was primarily
caused by the increase in fixed assets from the acquired and internally
developed Dental Centers.

         Other Expenses. For the quarter and nine months ended September 30,
1997 and 1998, other expenses increased $95,123 from $124,494 to $219,617 and
$323,139 from $292,658 to $615,797, respectively. This increase was caused
primarily by the increase in insurance costs, credit card discounts and other
costs associated with acquired and internally developed Dental Centers.

         General and Administrative Expenses. For the quarter and nine months
ended September 30, 1997 and 1998, general and administrative expenses
increased $269,430 from $528,056 to $797,486 and $1,051,387 from $1,279,193 to
$2,330,580, respectively. This increase was caused primarily by corporate
administrative salaries, rent and insurance costs due to the growth of the
Company.

         Depreciation and Amortization. For the quarter and nine months ended
September 30, 1997 and 1998, depreciation and amortization increased $148,772
from $105,210 to $253,982 and $355,360 from $248,601 to $603,961, respectively.
The increase is primarily associated with the expansion of the corporate
headquarters and the amortization of service agreements and other intangibles
acquired.

         Interest Income, net. For the quarter and nine months ended September
30, 1997 and 1998, interest income, net increased $232,571 from $116,535 to
$349,106 and $1,107,109 from $230,916 to $1,338,025, respectively. The increase
in interest income and decrease in interest expense was caused primarily by an
increase of the Company's invested cash balances and the reduction of interest
paid due to the repayment of notes payable issued as part of the consideration
for certain acquisitions.

C.  LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         On February 11, 1997, the Company completed its initial public
offering of Common Stock. The net proceeds to the Company from the sale of the
2,200,000 shares of Common Stock offered by the Company were approximately
$15.1 million (after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and
offering expenses). On September 22, 1997, the Company completed its secondary
public offering of Common Stock. The net proceeds to the Company from the sales
of 1,900,000 shares of Common Stock offered by the Company were approximately
$41.9 million (after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and
offering expenses).

         The Company has a revolving credit facility with Nations Bank
(formerly, Barnett Bank of Florida) which provides an aggregate of $15.0
million for general working capital needs and expansion of Dental Centers. As
of September 30, 1998, the Company had available the entire $15.0 million for
borrowing.


                                       9
<PAGE>   10


        During the quarter ended September 30, 1998, the Company added three
internally developed Dental Centers in Florida and Georgia at an average cost
of approximately $225,000. The Company and the Coast P.A. added five acquired
Dental Centers located in Florida. The purchase price for these acquired Dental
Centers consisted of $3.6 million in cash and $1.6 million in promissory notes.
Had these acquisitions occurred at the beginning of 1997, the additional net
revenue earned by the Company would have been $5.0 million and $1.0 million for
1997 and the nine months ended September 30, 1997, respectively.

         On October 26, 1998, the Company and the Coast P.A. added two acquired
Dental Centers located in Florida. The purchase price for these acquired Dental
Centers consisted of $275,000 in cash and $65,000 in promissory notes. Had
these acquisitions occurred at the beginning of 1997, the additional net
revenue earned by the Company would have been $481,000 and $360,750 for 1997
and the nine months ended September 30, 1998, respectively.

         The cost of an acquired Dental Center is typically based in part upon
a negotiated percentage of the Dental Center's historical gross revenue.
Acquired Dental Centers typically generate sufficient cash flow to fund their
operations. The Company plans to finance the addition of internally developed
and acquired Dental Centers for the foreseeable future through a combination of
bank financing, seller financing, issuance of Common Stock, cash flow from
operations and net proceeds from the initial and secondary public offerings of
the Company's Common Stock.

         The Company does not believe inflation has had a material impact on
earnings during the past three years. Substantial increases in future costs
could have a significant impact on the Company. If operating expenses increase,
management believes it can recover increased costs by increasing prices to the
extent deemed advisable considering competition.

         Many computer systems in use today were designed and developed using
two digits, rather than four, to specify the year. As a result, such systems
will recognize the year 2000 as 00. This could cause many computer applications
to fail completely or to create erroneous results unless corrective measures
are taken. The Company utilizes software and related computer technologies
essential to its operations that may be affected by the Year 2000 issue. The
Company has implemented a plan of action which it believes will result in the
Company's computer systems and applications being Year 2000 compliant by June
30, 1999.

         The Company has also prepared and is in the implementation phase of a
risk management plan to verify Year 2000 readiness of any third party that could
cause a material impact on the Company. The Company has received some
preliminary information concerning the status of third parties, and anticipates
initiating more extensive inquiries with significant suppliers, insurance
companies, utility companies and other third parties. However, there can be no
assurances that computer systems of third parties will be Year 2000 compliant or
that such third party systems will not fail due to noncompliance and result in
the disruption of service to or by the Company which could in turn have a
material adverse effect on the Company's operations.

         If the Company's or third party's computer systems or applications
fail with respect to the Year 2000 issue there could be a material adverse
effect on the Company's operations. Additionally, there can be no assurance
that the systems of other companies on which the Company's systems rely will be
timely converted, or that a failure to convert by another company, or a
conversion that is incompatible with the Company's systems, would not have a
material adverse effect of the business operations or financial performance of
the Company. In particular, if third party providers, due to the Year 2000
issue, fail to provide the Company with supplies, reliable means of
transporting supplies, sufficient electrical power and other utilities to
sustain patient services or processing of patient claims, then any such failure
could have a material adverse effect on the business operation and financial
performance of the Company.

         The Company has not yet seen any need for contingency plans for the
Year 2000 issue, but this need will be continuously monitored as the Company
acquires more information about the preparations of its third party vendors.
Some risks related to Year 2000 issue are beyond the control of the Company and
its third parties. For example, the Company does not believe that it can
develop a contingency plan which will protect the Company from a possible
ripple effect throughout the entire economy that could be caused by problems of
others with the Year 2000 issue.

         The Company estimates that the costs associated with the Year 2000
issue will be immaterial with respect to the Company's financial condition.
However, there can be no guarantee that the actual costs won't differ
materially from these estimates.


                                      10
<PAGE>   11


         Based upon the Company's anticipated capital needs for operations of
its business, general corporate purposes, the addition of Dental Centers and
repayment of certain debts, management believes that the combination of the
funds expected to be available under the Company's current cash reserves,
revolving line of credit and cash flow from operations should be sufficient to
meet the Company's funding requirements to conduct its operations and for
further implementation of its growth strategy and current plans through at
least 1999. Therefore, it is anticipated by the Company that through such time
future acquisitions and expansion will be funded primarily with cash on hand,
cash flow from operations and, if necessary, borrowings under the revolving
line of credit. Thereafter, or in the event the Company expands at a more rapid
rate, the Company would seek to finance growth through other credit sources,
and where desirable, funding from the sale of debt or equity securities.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 2.  CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

(c)  Sales of Unregistered Securities during the Second Quarter

         During the quarter ended September 30, 1998, the Company issued
non-negotiable promissory notes in the aggregate sum of $1,550,000 to two
sellers as part of the purchase price in connection with the Company's purchase
of the allowable assets of certain dental practices. The Company does not
believe that the promissory notes issued in these transactions are a "security"
as defined by Section 2(1) of the Securities Act. However, in the event the
promissory notes are deemed to be a security these transactions were exempt
from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Section
4(2) because it did not involve any public offering.
