NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(A) BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and therefore do not include all
information and notes necessary for a fair presentation of financial position,
results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with generally accepted
<PAGE>

accounting principles.  The unaudited condensed financial statements include the
accounts of Lancer Orthodontics, Inc. (the "Company").  The operating results
for interim periods are unaudited and are not necessarily an indication of the
results to be expected for the full fiscal year.  In the opinion of management,
the results of operations as reported for the interim periods reflect all
adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of operating results.

(B) ORGANIZATION

The Company was incorporated on August 25, 1967, in the state of California, for
the purpose of engaging in the design, manufacture, and distribution of
orthodontic products.  The Company has a manufacturing facility in Mexico where
a majority of its inventory is manufactured (Note I).  The Company also
purchases certain orthodontic and dental products for purposes of resale.  Sales
are made directly to orthodontists world-wide through Company representatives
and independent distributors.  The Company also sells certain of its products on
a private label basis.

(C) USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles ("GAAP"), requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period.  Significant estimates made by the Company's management
include, but are not limited to, allowances for doubtful accounts, allowances
for sales returns, the valuation of inventories, and the realizeability of
property and equipment through future operations.  Actual results could
materially differ from those estimates.

(D) STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
<PAGE>


The Company accounts for stock based compensation under Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 123 ("SFAS 123").  SFAS 123 defines a fair value based
method of accounting for stock based compensation.  However, SFAS 123 allows an
entity to continue to measure compensation cost related to stock and stock
options issued to employees using the intrinsic method of accounting prescribed
by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 ("APB 25"), "Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees".  Entities electing to remain with the accounting method of
APB 25 must make pro forma disclosures of net income and earnings per share, as
if the fair value method of accounting defined in SFAS 123 had been applied.
The Company has elected to account for its stock based compensation to employees
under APB 25.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued

(E) ONE-FOR-SEVEN REVERSE STOCK SPLIT

On November 15, 1996, the Company effected a one-for-seven reverse stock split
of its common stock.  For all periods presented, that components of
shareholders' equity have been adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split.

(F) LINE OF CREDIT

At November 30, 1998, the Company had a $1,000,000 line of credit with a bank.
Borrowings are made at prime plus 0.75% (8.5% at November 30, 1998) and are
limited to specified percentages of eligible accounts receivable.  The unused
portion available under the line of credit at November 30, 1998 was $181,290.
The line of credit expires on November 3, 1999.  The Company is not required to
maintain compensating balances in connection with this borrowing arrangement.

<PAGE>

The line of credit is collateralized by substantially all the assets of the
Company, including inventories, receivables, and equipment.  The lending
agreement for the line of credit requires, among other things, that the Company
maintain a tangible net worth of $2,500,000 and a debt to tangible net worth
ratio of no more than 1 to 1.  The Company is not required to maintain
compensating balances in connection with this lending agreement.

(G) NOTE PAYABLE TO BANK

At February 28, 1998, all unpaid principal and accrued interest on the note
payable to a bank was paid.  The note required monthly payments of $18,889 plus
interest at prime plus 1% (9.5% at November 30, 1998).

(H) CAPITAL LEASE

The Company was the lessee of equipment under a capital lease which expired in
January 1998.  The assets and liabilities under the capital lease were recorded
at the lower of the present value of the minimum lease payments or the fair
market value of the asset.  The asset was depreciated over its estimated useful
life.  Depreciation of the asset is included in depreciation expense for the
period ended November 30, 1997.

(I) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

MANUFACTURING AGREEMENT - In May 1990, the Company entered into a manufacturing
subcontractor agreement whereby, the subcontractor agreed to provide
manufacturing services to the Company through its affiliated entities located in
Mexicali, B.C., Mexico.  The Company has moved the majority of its manufacturing
operations to Mexico.  Under the terms of the original agreement, the
subcontractor manufactured the Company's products based on an hourly rate per
employee based on the number of employees in the subcontractor's workforce.  As
the number of employees increased, the hourly rate decreased.  In December 1992,
<PAGE>

the Company renegotiated  the agreement  changing  from an  hourly  rate per
employee  to a pass  through  of

                           LANCER ORTHODONTICS, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued

(I) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES - continued

actual costs plus a weekly administrative fee.  The amended agreement gives the
Company greater control over all costs associated with the manufacturing
operation.  In July 1994, the Company again renegotiated the agreement, reducing
the administrative fee and extending the agreement through June 30, 1998.  In
March 1996, the Company agreed to extend the agreement through October 1998, to
coincide with the building lease.  A new agreement is currently being finalized
to extend through October 2000.  Effective April 1, 1996, the Company leased the
Mexicali facility under a separate arrangement.  The Company has retained the
option to convert the manufacturing operation to a wholly-owned subsidiary at
any time.  Should the Company discontinue operations in Mexico, it is
responsible for the accumulated employee seniority obligation as prescribed by
Mexican law.  At November 30, 1998, this obligation was approximately $264,000.
Such obligation is contingent in nature and accordingly has not been accrued in
the accompanying balance sheet.

LEASES - The Company leases its main facility under a non-cancelable operating
lease expiring December 31, 2003, which requires monthly rental payments that
increase annually, from $2,900 per month in 1994 to $6,317 per month in 2003.
The Company is negotiating to lease its Mexico facility under a non-cancelable
operating lease expiring October 31, 2000, which requires average monthly
rentals of approximately $6,000.  The rentals are subject to annual increases
based on the United States Consumer Price Index.  Future aggregate minimum
annual cash lease payments are as follows:

YEAR 2000 ISSUES _ Certain computerized systems use only two digits to record
the year in date fields.  Such systems may not be able to accurately process
dates ending in the year 2000 and after.  The effects of this issue will vary
from system to system and may adversely affect an entity's operations as well as
its ability to prepare financial statements.  The accounting and MRP software
for the Company's main frame computer system has been upgraded to be year 2000
compliant and is actively supported by the developer.  The Company does not
anticipate to incur significant additional costs to be completely year 2000
compliant.

The Company does not place orders electronically nor does it make disbursements
to vendors or employees in that medium.  The Company has a broad base of
customers and suppliers and therefore is not heavily reliant on any one outside
company.  However, the Company has no way of completely knowing how the year
2000 may affect its various vendors or customers if such conversions are not
completed on a timely basis by them, and thus it cannot estimate with certainty
the impact the year 2000 may have on the Company.

(J) INCOME TAXES
<PAGE>


At May 31, 1998, the Company had net tax operating loss carryforwards of
approximately $2,153,000 and business tax credits of approximately $161,000
available to offset future Federal taxable income and tax liabilities,
respectively.  The Federal carryforwards expire in varying amounts from 1998 to
2008.  As of May 31, 1998, the Company had business tax credits of approximately
$23,000 available to offset future state income tax liabilities.  The Company's
state net operating loss carryforward totaling approximately $354,000 expired
during the year ended May 31, 1998.

(K) NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE AND DIVIDENDS

The Company calculates earnings per share in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS 128").  SFAS 128 replaces the presentation
of primary and fully diluted earnings per share with the presentation of basic
and diluted earnings per share.  Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and
is calculated by dividing income available to common stockholders  by  the
weighted-average  number  of  common  shares  outstanding for the period.

Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if
securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted
into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared
in the earnings of the entity.  In connection with the implementation of SFAS
128, the basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months and six
months ended November 30, 1997 were not materially different from the earnings
per share previously reported for such period.

(M) NEW DISCLOSURE STANDARDS

In June 1997, SFAS No. 130 (SFAS 130"), "Comprehensive Income" was issued which
is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997, and requires
reclassification of earlier financial statements for comparative purposes.  SFAS
130 requires that changes in the amounts of certain items, including foreign
currency translation adjustments and gains and losses on certain securities, be
shown in the financial statements.  SFAS 130 does not require a specific format
for the financial statement in which comprehensive income is reported, but does
require that an amount representing total comprehensive income be reported in
that statement.  The implementation of SFAS 130 did not have a material effect
upon the Company's financial statements.

In June 1997, SFAS No. 131 ("SFAS 131"), "Disclosure about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information" was issued.  This statement will change the
way public companies report information about segments of their business in
their annual financial statements and requires them to report selected segment
information in their quarterly reports issued to shareholders.  It also requires
entity-wide disclosures about the product, services an entity provides, the
material countries in which it holds assets and reports revenues, and its major
customers.  SFAS 131 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
1997.  The implementation of SFAS 131 did not have a material effect upon the
Company's financial statements.


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


<PAGE>

Except for historical information contained herein, the statements in this Form
10-QSB are forward-looking statements that are made pursuant to the safe harbor
provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Forward-
looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties which may
cause the Company's actual results in future periods to differ materially from
forecasted results.  These risks and uncertainties include, among other things,
the continued demand for the Company's products, availability of raw materials
and the state of the economy.  These and other risks are described in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB and in the Company's other filings with
the Securities and Exchange Commission.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

For the six months ended November 30, 1998, net income decreased from income of
$29,446 at November 30, 1997, to a net loss of $39,736 at November 30, 1998.
For the three months ended November 30, 1998, net income decreased from income
of $26,972 at November 30, 1997, to a net loss of $79,960 at November 30, 1998.
The decrease in net income is primarily attributable to the decrease in gross
profit and increase in marketing costs, partially offset by a reduction in
interest expenses.




                           LANCER ORTHODONTICS, INC.

For the six months ended November 30, 1998, net sales increased $63,230 (2.09%)
as compared to the year earlier period.  For the three months ended November 30,
1998, net sales decreased $29,289 (1.87%) as compared to the year earlier
period.  The Company continues to search for and add new distributors, private
label customers, and sales representatives.  The Company remains very active in

<PAGE>

investigating new products  to add to its growing product line, believing that a
larger and more diverse product line will appeal to a wider range of customers.

For the six months ended November 30, 1998, cost of sales as a percentage of
sales (63.9%) increased 1.9% compared to the year earlier period.  For the three
months ended November 30, 1998, cost of sales as a percentage of sales (66.6%)
increased 4.2% compared to the year earlier period.  The increase is
attributable to lower prices in the industry.

For the six months ended November 30, 1998, selling and general and
administrative expenses increased $65,306 (6.45%) compared to the year earlier
period.  For the three months ended November 30, 1998, selling and general and
administrative expenses increased $47,104 (9.29%) as compared to the year
earlier period.  The increase is attributable to an increase in marketing
salaries and commissions.

For the six months ended November 30, 1998, product development expenses
decreased $17,621 (20.4%) as compared to the year earlier period.  For the three
months ended November 30, 1998, product development expenses decreased $10,301
(22.1%) compared to the year earlier period.  The decrease is attributable to a
decrease in wage costs.

For the six months ended November 30, 1998, interest expense decreased $12,466
(73.0%) compared to the year earlier period.  For the three months ended
November 30, 1998, interest expense decreased $4,972 (65.4%) as compared to the
year earlier period.  The decrease is attributable to reduced debt and interest
rates.

Working capital decreased $4,905 during the six months ended November 30, 1998,
primarily attributable to the replacement of equipment and the development of
new products.
