              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 MARCH 31, 1997

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, 1996 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
at and the results of operations for the period ended March 31, 1997.

     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 reported net losses of $2,463,259,
$2,023,822 and $3,050,333 for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995, and 1994,
respectively, and a net loss of $767,734 for the quarter ended March 31, 1997
and has an accumulated deficit of $25,567,163 at March 31, 1997. These recurring
losses and the need for continued funding, discussed below, raise substantial
doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going-concern.

     The Company remains dependent upon its ability to obtain outside financing
either through the issuance of additional shares of its common or preferred
stocks or through borrowings until it achieves sustained profitability through
increased sales, continued efforts of engineering redesign, and cost
curtailment. The Company's focus has been realigned to emphasize the marketing
of its laser-based hydro-kinetic tissue cutting system (the Millennium(TM)
series), LaserBrush(TM) and other laser and endodontic products, and the
continued development of biomaterial products and cost-effective laser
technologies for medical and dental surgical applications.

     Based on the Company's current business plan, working capital should be
sufficient to enable the Company to meet its obligations through early 1999, at
which point, the Company would be dependent upon either the successful marketing
of its Millennium(TM) and its soon to be released LaserBrush(TM) products or
additional financing. There are no assurances that the Company will be
successful in either marketing its new products or obtaining financing required
to sustain its operations. If unsuccessful, the Company's ability to meet its
obligations and to continue operations could be impaired. The consolidated
condensed financial statements do not give effect to any adjustments that might
be necessary if the Company were unable to meet its obligations or continue
operations.

     Financing the development of laser-based medical and dental devices and
instruments and the operations of the Company has been achieved principally
through private placements of preferred and common stocks and the exercises of
stock options and warrants. During the three years ended December 31, 1996, the
Company has raised approximately $7,747,000 of equity funds. The Company
obtained additional equity funding through the issuance of 200,000 shares of its
common stock in a private placement resulting in net proceeds of approximately
$720,000 during the three-month period ending March 31, 1997. Management
believes that significant additional capital resources will be required to
complete the process seeking FDA clearance to market the Company's hydro-kinetic
and laser-based technologies for hard-tissue and dermatological applications in
the United States and to fund the Company's working capital 


                                     Page 7
<PAGE>   8

needs in the event the marketing of its new products does not generate
sufficient profitability and cash flow by the end of 1998. The Company expects
to generate the necessary capital resources through the revenue generated by its
new products, the issuance of equity securities in either public offerings or
private placements, or debt financing. No assurances can be given, however, that
the Company will be able to obtain such capital resources

     Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 1997 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending
December 31, 1997. These statements should be read in conjunction with the
audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the
Company's Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1996.

     Loss per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding. Common stock equivalents, which consist of stock options, have been
excluded from per share calculations, as the effect of the assumed exercise of
these common stock equivalents is anti-dilutive at March 31, 1997 and 1996.

     In February, 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings Per
Share". SFAS No. 128 requires companies to adopt its provisions for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 1997 and requires restatement of all prior
period earnings per share ("EPS") data presented. Earlier application is not
permitted. SFAS No. 128 specifies the computation, presentation and disclosure
requirements for EPS. The implementation of SFAS No. 128 is not expected to
have a material effect on the EPS data presented by the Company.

Note 6

     As of December 31, 1996, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards
for federal and state purposes of approximately $23 million and $12.5 million,
respectively. The net operating loss carryforwards begin expiring in 2002 and
1997, respectively. The utilization of net operating loss carryforwards may be
limited under the provisions of Internal Revenue Code Section 382 and similar
state provisions.

     Sales decreased $10,000 for the first quarter of 1997 as compared to the
same period of 1996. The Company's laser division had sales of $15,000 for the
first quarter of 1997, a decrease of $26,000 from the $41,000 reported for the
same period in 1996. The reduction is attributable principally to the Company's
decision to cease marketing of its historic laser products in anticipation of
launching its new hydro-kinetic tissue cutting system, the Millennium(TM),
within the German market, scheduled for the second quarter of 1997. (The



                                     Page 9
<PAGE>   10
preceding sentence constitutes a forward looking statement [hereinafter
identified as "FLS"]. Each of the forward looking statements in this Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q is subject to various factors that could cause actual
results to differ materially from the results anticipated in such forward
looking statement, as more fully discussed in this Item 2 under "Forward Looking
Statements".) Domestically, the Company anticipates the introduction of its
laser-based tooth brush, the LaserBrush(TM), in the third quarter of 1997. (FLS)
The Company does not expect significant sales based upon its hydro-kinetic
technology in the domestic market unless and until it receives regulatory
clearance to market its Millennium(TM) for certain hard-tissue applications 
within the dental field and other applications within the dermatological field.
(FLS) Sales for the Company's endodontic division were $127,000 for the first
quarter of 1997 compared to $106,000 for the same period in 1996, an increase of
$21,000 due principally to increased marketing by the Company at trade shows and
conferences during the first quarter of 1997 compared to the same period in
1996.

     Gross profit increased to $22,000 during the first quarter of 1997, up
$14,000 from the $8,000 reported for the comparable period in 1996. As a result
of a reduction in fixed manufacturing costs offset by reduced sales, the
Company's laser division experienced comparable losses of approximately $48,000
at the gross profit line in the quarters ended March 31, 1997 and 1996. The
Company's endodontic division reported a gross profit of $70,000 for the first
quarter of 1997 compared to a gross profit of $54,000 for the comparable period
in 1996, reflecting increased sales.

     Operating expenses increased $278,000, or 54%, to $792,000 during the first
quarter of 1997 from the $514,000 reported during the first quarter of 1996.
Sales and marketing expenses were $274,000 during the first quarter of 1997
compared to $180,000 reported for the same period in 1996, an increase of
$94,000 due principally to greater participation by the Company at
dermatological and dental trade shows. General and administrative expenses
increased $84,000 from the $152,000 reported during the first quarter of 1996 to
$236,000 for the same period in 1997. The increase was due principally to higher
legal, patent and insurance expenses incurred in the first quarter of 1997 as
compared to the first quarter of 1996. Engineering and development expenses were
$277,000 for the first quarter of 1997, an increase of $96,000 from the $181,000
reported during the same period in 1996. The increase was due principally to
1997 costs related to the completion of engineering prototypes of
Millennium(TM), design of a new delivery system handpiece for Millennium(TM),
continued costs related to the refinement of LaserBrush(TM) and various on-going
clinical studies.

     The net loss for the first quarter of 1997 increased $271,000, or 55%, from
the $497,000 reported for the same period in 1996, due principally to the
increase in operating expenses previously discussed. The loss per share
increased from $0.04 per share reported during the first quarter of 1996 to
$0.06 per share from the first quarter of 1997. The increase in loss per share
is attributable primarily to an increase in net loss.

         Net cash provided by financing activities        $ 799         $  28
</TABLE>

     The Company's liquidity at March 31, 1997 was comparable to that of
December 31, 1996. Cash and cash equivalents increased $112,000 due to cash
proceeds received from the issuance of the Company's common stock through a
private placement and the exercise of employee stock options, aggregating
$799,000 and the liquidation of $250,000 in marketable securities, largely
offset by cash used by operations of $837,000 and expenditures related to
capital equipment and patent and trademark applications, aggregating $100,000.
Working capital declined $43,000 to $3,627,000 at March 31, 1997, compared to
the $3,670,000 reported at December 31, 1996. Cash used by operations increased
$353,000 from the $484,000 reported during the first quarter of 1996 to $837,000
for the first quarter of 1997. This increase was due principally to the
increased net loss experienced in the first quarter of 1997 and a rise in
inventory partially offset by an increase in accounts payable associated with
the ramp-up of manufacturing the Millennium(TM).

       The Company expects to record revenue from its first shipments of
Millennium(TM) during the second quarter of 1997. These revenues are expected to
be reflected as an account receivable in the Company's consolidated condensed
balance sheet at June 30, 1997, with collection of such account receivable
anticipated during the third quarter of 1997. (FLS) The Company's inventory and
accounts payable levels should increase during the second quarter of 1997 to
reflect an anticipated increase in Millennium(TM) production and inventory
build-up in anticipation of commencement of LaserBrush(TM) production. (FLS) The
Company is presently analyzing various computer software and hardware to meet
its operational needs and anticipates capital expenditures to increase
significantly during the second quarter of 1997. (FLS) Presently, no other
significant capital expenditure projects are under consideration.

       The Company remains dependent upon its ability to obtain outside
financing either through the issuance of additional shares of its common or
preferred stocks or through borrowings until it achieves sustained profitability
through increased sales, continued efforts of engineering redesign, and cost
curtailment. (FLS) The Company's focus has been realigned to emphasize the
marketing of its laser-based hydro-kinetic tissue cutting system (the
Millennium(TM) series), LaserBrush(TM) and other laser and endodontic products,
and the continued development of biomaterial products and cost-effective laser
technologies for medical and dental surgical applications.

       Based on the Company's current business plan, working capital should be
sufficient to enable the Company to meet its obligations through early 1999, at
which point, the Company would be dependent upon either the successful marketing
of its Millennium(TM) and its soon to be released LaserBrush(TM) products or
additional financing. (FLS) There are no assurances that the Company will be


                                    Page 11
<PAGE>   12
successful in either marketing its new products or obtaining financing required
to sustain its operations. (FLS) If unsuccessful, the Company's ability to meet
its obligations and to continue operations could be impaired. (FLS) The
consolidated financial statements do not give effect to any adjustments that
might be necessary if the Company were unable to meet its obligations or
continue operations.

       Financing the development of laser-based medical and dental devices and
instruments and the operations of the Company has been achieved principally
through private placements or preferred and common stocks and the exercises of
stock options and warrants. During the three years ended December 31, 1996, the
Company has raised approximately $7,747,000 of equity funds. The Company
obtained additional equity funding through the issuance of 200,000 shares of its
common stock in a private placement resulting in net proceeds of approximately
$720,000 during the three-month period ending March 31, 1997. Management
believes that significant additional capital resources will be required to
complete the FDA clearance to market the Company's hydro-kinetic and laser-based
technologies for hard-tissue and dermatological applications in the United
States and to fund the Company's working capital needs in the event the
marketing of its new products does not generate sufficient profitability and
cash flow by the end of 1998. (FLS) The Company expects to generate the
necessary capital resources through the revenue generated by its new products,
the issuance of equity securities in either public offerings or private
placements, or debt financing. (FLS) No assurance can be given, however, that
the Company will be able to obtain such capital resources.

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 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.

       Few of the forward looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q deal with matters that are within the unilateral control of the Company.
There is substantial regulation of the manufacture and sale of medical products,
including many of the Company's products, by governmental agencies in the United
States and foreign countries. These governmental agencies often have
considerable discretion in determining whether and when to approve the marketing
of the Company's products that have not yet received such approval.

       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. Many of
the Company's competitors have much greater financial resources and technical
capabilities than does the Company, which may enable such competitors to design
and produce superior products or to market their products in a manner that
achieves commercial success even in the face of technical superiority on the
part of the Company's products.

       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.


                                    Page 12
<PAGE>   13
       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.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

       Not Yet Effective

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 February 28, 1997, the Company completed a private placement in which it
issued and sold 200,000 shares of its common stock to an accredited investor
(the "Investor"). Gross proceeds from the private placement were $725,000 before
direct expenses of approximately $5,000. The shares of common stock issued in
connection with the private placement are "restricted securities" as defined in
Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act").
Accordingly, such shares may be resold only pursuant to a registration statement
under the Act or in accordance with an exemption from such registration
requirement. The Company is obligated to file a registration statement covering
the resale of such shares.

       The offer and sale of common stock were exempt from the registration
requirements of the Act under sections 4(2) and 4(6) as (i) a transaction by an
issuer not involving a public offering, and (ii) a transaction involving offers
or sales by an issuer solely to accredited investors that meet certain
requirements under the Act. The Investor represented to and agreed with the
Company that, among other things, (I) the Investor is an accredited investor,
(ii) the Investor was acquiring the shares of common stock for its own account,
for investment, and not for resale, distribution or disposition, and (iii) the
Investor will offer or sell the shares of common stock only if registered under
the Act or pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the
Act. The certificates representing the securities so issued have restrictive
legends endorsed thereon reflecting the restrictions on transferability arising
out of the forgoing matters, and the Company has issued "stop transfer"
instructions to its transfer agent.
