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

         (ITEM 7 TO FORM 10-K)

         Forward Looking Statements. The following discussion contains
forward-looking statements which involve risks and uncertainties. The Company's
actual results may differ materially from the results discussed in the
forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such a difference include,
but are not limited to those items described below and those described in Item 1
of the Company's 1996 Annual Report on Form 10-K under the heading "Risks and
Uncertainties" and "Merger with Bio-Dental Technologies Corporation" and in Item
3 "Legal Proceedings."

         The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the
Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto.

         On January 8, 1997, the Company completed a merger with Bio-Dental. On
December 30, 1996, Bio-Dental's shareholders approved the all-stock transaction
which provided for a per share exchange of .825 shares of the Company's common
stock for each share of Bio-Dental common stock outstanding. As of January 8,
1997, Bio-Dental had 6,565,300 shares of common stock outstanding.

         The merger has been accounted for as a pooling-of-interests, and
accordingly, the condensed consolidated financial statements give retroactive
effect to the Bio-Dental merger and include the combined operations of Zila and
Bio-Dental for all periods presented. Prior to the combination, Bio-Dental's
year-end was March 31. Effective August 1, 1995, Bio-Dental's results are
reported on a July 31, 1996 basis along with the results of Zila, Inc..
Bio-Dental's net loss for the four-month period ended July 31, 1995 is reflected
as an adjustment to the deficit during the year ended July 31, 1996. For the
four-month period ended July 31, 1995, Bio-Dental had revenues of $11,056,774,
operating costs and expenses of $11,631,735, and a net loss of $416,817. Certain
adjustments and reclassifications have been made to conform previously issued
Bio-Dental financial statements to classifications and accounting policies used
by Zila.

COMPANY OVERVIEW

         Zila has three operating groups. Zila Pharmaceuticals markets a growing
line of non-prescription oral healthcare products, including Zilactin,
Zilactin-B, Zilactin-L, Zilactin-Lip,
<PAGE>   4
new Zilactin Baby and Quik Floss. Cygnus Imaging manufactures and markets
internationally CygnaScope and OralVision intraoral video camera systems, and
Sens-A-Ray digital x-ray systems. The third operating group, Bio-Dental
Technologies, consists of Practice Works dental practice management software and
The Supply House, a nationwide dental products distributor, marketing 15,000
items to the dental office through extensive direct mail, catalog sales and
telemarketing.

OPERATING RESULTS

         Fiscal year ended July 31, 1996. For the fiscal year ended July 31,
1996, the Company had net income of $1,217,298 compared to a net loss of
$1,282,357 for 1995.

         Net sales during the 1996 fiscal year totaled $37,479,546 compared to
net sales of $35,064,245 for the prior fiscal year, an increase of 6.9%. The
growth in net sales was attributable mainly to the Company's distribution
subsidiary, The Supply House (TSH) which was able to increase its average volume
per customer. Sales for TSH rose to $25,077,638 up 22.0% from $20,551,803 last
year. Additional growth came from one of the Company's other subsidiaries, Zila
Pharmaceuticals, which had net sales of $5,978,131 in fiscal year 1996 compared
to $5,147,667 in 1995, a 16.1% increase. The increase at Zila Pharmaceuticals
was primarily due to the sales of ZILACTIN-B which have continued to increase
since its introduction in the first quarter of fiscal year 1995. These increases
were partially offset by a decline in net sales at Integrated Dental
Technologies (IDT), a wholly owned subsidiary of Bio-Dental. The decline at IDT
resulted mainly as a result of IDT's launch of the "paperless" dental office
which was met with little initial demand. Previously, IDT had sold only dental
practice management software systems and intra-oral cameras on a stand-alone
basis. When the Company began focusing on these larger, "integrated" systems,
sales of the individual components declined. In December 1995, IDT announced
that it was discontinuing its "paperless" dental office offering, and returning
to its previous strategy of selling just intra-oral cameras and practice
management software. In connection with this restructuring, the Company recorded
$271,631 in restructuring charges in fiscal year 1996. There were no such
charges in fiscal year 1995.

         Licensing fees and royalty revenues were $2,100,484 for fiscal year
1996 compared to $1,956,654 for the prior fiscal year. This increase was
attributable to licensing of OraTest in the United States to The Procter &
Gamble Company ("P&G"). Included in such amounts for the fiscal year ended July
31, 1996, are $750,000 of non-refundable licensing fees that the
<PAGE>   5
Company received from P&G in connection with a licensing agreement between P&G
and the Company, which agreement was terminated on April 3, 1996. The increase
was partially offset by a decrease in royalty revenues from Denticator
International, Inc. (DII), a wholly owned subsidiary of Bio-Dental. This
reduction came mainly as a result of lower levels of profitability at DII, which
had a resulting effect on royalties payable to BioDental. On July 22, 1996,
Young Innovations, Inc. (Young) acquired substantially all of the assets and
certain liabilities of DII. Bio-Dental received approximately $7.5 million in
lieu of future royalties that Bio-Dental was entitled to receive in connection
with its licensing agreement with DII. In addition, Young issued Bio-Dental a
"product credit" against future purchases from Young equal to the amounts due
Bio-Dental at the time of closing. Included in other receivables and other
assets at July 31, 1996 is $600,249 and $355,103, respectively, of product
credits due from Young. Concurrent with the closure of the transaction,
Bio-Dental canceled options to purchase 50,000 shares of Bio-Dental's restricted
common stock that were held by DII.

         Cost of products sold were $24,771,193 for the fiscal year ended July
31, 1996 a 12.1% increase from $22,093,228 for the fiscal year ended July 31,
1995. This increase is primarily due to increased sales volume during fiscal
year 1996 as compared to fiscal year 1995. Cost of sales as a percentage of net
sales increased to 66.1% during fiscal year 1996 as compared to 63.0% in fiscal
year 1995. The increase is attributable primarily to the write-off of inventory
associated with the IDT restructuring program and reserves established in
recognition of a degradation of inventory value of older model intra-oral camera
inventory, as IDT released its newer model camera. The inventory write down and
the reserves were not included as "restructuring charges," but rather were taken
against cost of products sold.

         The Company incurred $18,606,795 of selling, general and administrative
expenses during the fiscal year ended July 31, 1996 an increase of $2,424,067
over the fiscal year ended July 31, 1995. The bulk of this increase related to
the higher than expected costs of marketing, selling and supporting the various
products of IDT, including IDT's filmless x-ray and computer hardware products.
Additionally, administrative expenses during the fiscal year ended July 31, 1996
increased primarily due to travel and business expense, legal, shareholder
expense, and amortization of purchase technology rights. The Company also had
increases in internal funding of product development during the fiscal year
ended July 31, 1996 as compared to the previous fiscal year. Product development
increases were mainly due to start-up manufacturing costs related to OraTest,
and staffing and legal expenses arising out of the Company's efforts to prevent
infringement of the ZILACTIN patents.
<PAGE>   6
         Interest and other income for the fiscal year ended July 31, 1996
decreased $104,824 from $252,672 in the prior fiscal year due primarily to the
scheduled termination of lease revenues from DII in March 1995. Interest expense
increased from $211,544 in fiscal year 1995 to $471,607 in fiscal year 1996. In
April 1996, Bio-Dental borrowed $1.25 million by issuing term notes to provide
additional working capital. Amortization of issuance costs and note discounts
(associated with warrants issued to the lenders) are included in interest
expense. These term notes were repaid in July 1996 and the remaining unamortized
issuance costs were written-off to interest expense at that time.

         Fiscal year ended July 31, 1995. For the fiscal year ended July 31,
1995, the Company had a net loss of $1,282,357 compared to net income of
$558,748 for 1994.

         Net sales during the 1995 fiscal year totaled $35,064,245 compared to
net sales of $22,474,672 for the prior fiscal year. Net sales for fiscal year
1995 increased approximately 56.0% as compared to net sales in fiscal 1994
primarily due to the first full year of operations of both Ryker Dental of
Kentucky, Inc. (Ryker) and OralVision, following Bio-Dental's acquisition of the
entities effective January 1, 1994. Approximately $5.2 million of the increase
came as a result of OralVision (and the subsequent formation of IDT), $4.0
million came from the acquisition of Ryker, and an additional $2.4 million of
revenue growth was generated by TSH. Additionally, Zila Pharmaceuticals
generated an increase of approximately $1.0 million of net sales due to
increases in distribution in food outlets and in market share in the drug stores
of new ZILACTIN(R) products.

         Licensing fees and royalty revenues were $1,956,654 for fiscal year
1995 compared to $1,732,277 for the prior fiscal year. The increased licensing
fees, royalty revenue were primarily attributable to the negotiation of an
agreement with Stafford-Miller, a subsidiary of Block Drug Company, Inc., to
market the ORATEST product in the United Kingdom. As anticipated, royalty
revenues from DII were virtually unchanged from fiscal year 1994. Royalty
revenues from DII were $1,665,699 for 1995 compared to $1,665,664 for fiscal
year 1994. Bio-Dental sold DII in March 1991 in exchange for a royalty
arrangement.

         Cost of products sold were $22,093,228 for the fiscal year ended July
31, 1995 a 65.1% increase from $13,382,148 for the fiscal year ended July 31,
1994. This increase is primarily due to increased sales volume during fiscal
year 1995 as compared to fiscal year 1994. Cost of sales as a percentage of net
sales increased to 63.0% during fiscal year 1995 as compared to 59.5% in fiscal
year 1994. The increase is attributable primarily to a delay in the
<PAGE>   7
production of TSH's 1995 catalog, which forced TSH to honor 1994 pricing for
several additional months, even after cost increases had been imposed upon TSH
from its suppliers. In addition, during the first nine months of fiscal 1994
Bio-Dental earned profit-sharing revenues associated with its role as the
manager of OralVision, Inc. These dollars earned were recorded as revenues with
no costs associated with them, thereby providing 100 percent gross margin on
these revenues. Subsequent to the acquisition of OralVision in January 1994,
Bio-Dental recorded all operational activity (revenues, cost of sales and
expenses) and, as such, gross margins have been reduced. This increase was
partially offset by a decrease in cost of sales as a percentage of net sales at
Zila Pharmaceuticals caused by changes in product mix.

         The Company incurred $16,182,728 of selling, general and administrative
expenses during the fiscal year ended July 31, 1995, an increase of $6,668,146
over the fiscal year ended July 31, 1994. Increases of approximately $5.5
million at Bio-Dental came primarily as a result of two factors. First, the
acquisition of Ryker added the staff, facility and ongoing operations associated
with that organization. Secondly, the formation, development and marketing of
the new IDT business unit added a very large portion of this increased cost
structure. Additionally, administrative expenses during fiscal year 1995
increased primarily due to licensing expenses, travel and business expense,
legal and shareholder expenses. Internal funding of product development also
increased as compared to the prior year. This increase resulted from staffing,
product evaluation expense, patent protection, and funding of ORATEST research.

         Interest income for the fiscal year ended July 31, 1995 increased to
$252,672 from $249,749 in the prior fiscal year. The increase in interest
expense from $82,552 for the fiscal year ended July 31, 1994 to $211,544 for the
1995 fiscal year, was due to additional interest obligations on borrowings made
by Bio-Dental to expand operations of IDT during fiscal year 1995 and fund the
working capital requirements needed to develop the IDT business.


INFLATION

         The Supply House experienced decreased gross margins in fiscal 1996.
This was due mostly to suppliers of TSH's products increasing the costs of such
products at a greater rate
<PAGE>   8
than TSH could raise its selling prices, due to price competition in the
marketplace and the timing of its catalog release.

         The Supply House estimates that price increases for products it
purchases will average approximately 4 percent in fiscal 1997. TSH believes that
new pricing strategies adopted during the first quarter of fiscal 1997 will
address these anticipated cost increases and should enable TSH to prevent a
decrease in gross margins for its non-managed care sales. Managed care sales are
expected to provide slightly lower gross margins but the sales volume increased
from these contracts should improve the net income of TSH.

         Inflation has had no material effect on the operations or financial
condition of the Zila Pharmaceutical or IDT subsidiaries.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

          At July 31, 1996, the Company had net working capital of $6,579,463,
and its current ratio (the ratio of current assets to current liabilities) was
2.0 to 1. At July 31, 1995, the Company had net working capital of $5,609,425
and its current ratio was 1.9 to 1.

        Trade accounts receivable at July 31, 1996 were $2,821,440 compared to
trade accounts receivable at July 31, 1995 of $2,976,583. Trade accounts
receivable as a percentage of quarterly net sales of $9,043,556 were 31.2% at
July 31, 1996 as compared to 33.1% at July 31, 1995 which had quarterly net
sales of $8,998,597.

        At July 31, 1996, the Company had inventories of $4,200,442, a decrease
of $1,322,050 from inventories at July 31, 1995. The decrease is primarily due
to Bio-Dental's restructure of IDT and the write down of inventory value for
discontinued products and other inventory allowances in the 1996 fiscal year.
This decrease was partially offset by an increase in Zila Pharmaceutical
inventories due to a build up of components and finished goods for new products.

        As of July 31, 1996, the Company had no material commitments for capital
expenditures. However, the Company will continue to seek FDA approval of ORATEST
and in connection therewith the Company believes that approximately $250,000 of
additional capital will be necessary to receive such approval. Other than the
funds necessary for FDA approval of the ORATEST product and for litigation
expenses for the Colgate-Palmolive litigation, the
<PAGE>   9
Company does not believe there are any known trends, demands, commitments,
events or uncertainties which are likely to significantly affect the Company's
liquidity.

         On January 4, 1991, the Company purchased a 16,000 square foot building
located at 5227 North Seventh Street, Phoenix, Arizona 85014-2800. The purchase
price of the building was approximately $600,000. The Company paid 25% of the
purchase price in cash and obtained a loan for the balance of the purchase
price. The Company has refinanced the mortgage which matured April 1, 1996 with
Bank One, Arizona (the "Bank"). The terms of the refinancing include interest to
be payable monthly on the unpaid balance at the Bank's prime rate plus two and
one quarter percent (2.25%), to move with prime on a daily basis. The Company
has an option, which expires March 31, 1998, to convert to a fixed rate of four
and one quarter percent (4.25%) over the Treasury rate. The refinanced mortgage
loan is amortized over 20 years and is due on April 1, 2001.

         The Company also leases 3,502 square feet for a manufacturing facility
in Phoenix, Arizona. This facility will produce toluidine blue which will be
used in the manufacture of OraTest. The facility is leased under a three year
agreement which expires April 30, 1999, and is located in an area with property
available for expansion. The agreement has an option to renew for an additional
five years. Monthly lease payments are $1,922. Bio-Dental holds leases on three
(3) separate facilities. Bio-Dental leases 25,000 square feet of
office/warehouse space in a concrete building located at 11291 Sunrise Park
Drive, Rancho Cordova, California. The current lease rate for the Rancho Cordova
facility is $9,270 per month, and is constant for the duration of the lease. The
lease for the Rancho Cordova facility expires on November 30, 1996, however the
Company has an option to renew the lease for two subsequent five-year terms.
Bio-Dental also leases 19,200 square feet in a warehouse complex in Lexington,
Kentucky and 1,500 square feet of office space in Indianapolis, Indiana. The
current lease rates are $2,800 and $1,715 per month, respectively.

         Management believes that continued growth in the Company's sales of its
products will provide sufficient funding for the Company's current operations
for the next twelve months. The Company may require additional financing to
support the production of its products in quantities sufficient to support
continued market expansion and to fund future OraTest manufacturing and
marketing costs. In anticipation of these potential requirements, effective
April 30, 1997, Zila entered into an investment agreement (the "Investment
Agreement") with Deere Park Capital Management (the "Investor") which allows the
Company to sell up to $25 million of Zila's common stock with the proceeds to be
used to fund OraTest marketing and
<PAGE>   10
general corporate purposes. The option to sell stock to the Investor will remain
available for a period of approximately thirteen months following the effective
date of the registration statement discussed below (the "Commitment Period"). As
part of the Investment Agreement, Zila sold $3 million of stock on April 30,
1997, and has committed to sell an additional $10 million of common stock to the
Investor over the Commitment Period. At April 30, 1997 the net proceeds of $2.9
million from the initial sale of shares were held in escrow. During May 1997,
the cash held in escrow was released to the Company.

         The Investment Agreement provides that Zila can obtain up to $2,000,000
at any one time through the sale of the Company's common stock. All shares sold
will be at a 7% discount to the average low trading price of the Company's
common stock over a specified period of time, subject to a maximum purchase
price calculation. Sales under the Investment Agreement are subject to the
satisfaction of certain conditions, including registration of the shares, a
minimum market volume, and certain limitations on the number of shares of the
Company's common stock outstanding.

         As a commitment fee for keeping the equity line available for the
Commitment Period, the Company has issued warrants dated May 7, 1997 (the
"Warrants") to the Investor exercisable for 300,000 shares of common stock at an
exercise price of $8.6125 per share. The Warrants are exercisable for a
three-year period commencing October 31, 1997. A registration statement
pertaining to the shares issued and to be issued under the Investment Agreement
and the warrants is to be filed and effective no later than August 30, 1997
before any funds, other than the initial draw of $3,000,000, are drawn under the
Investment Agreement.

         In addition, the Company obtained a $250,000 bank line of credit in
April 1996, which was secured by trade accounts receivable, inventories and
rights to certain payments. In December 1996, the bank line of credit was
increased to $500,000. This line of credit expired June 1, 1997. Interest is
payable monthly on the unpaid balance outstanding at the bank's prime rate
(8.25% at July 31, 1996) plus 1.75%. At July 31, 1996, the Company had no
borrowings against the line of credit.

consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for
the eight months ended March 31, 1996 and for each of the three years ended

the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express

<PAGE>   15

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

Board of Directors and Shareholders
Zila, Inc.
Phoenix, Arizona

     We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Zila, Inc. and
subsidiaries (the "Company") as of July 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity and cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended July 31, 1996. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits. The consolidated financial statements give retroactive effect to the
merger of the Company and Bio-Dental Technologies Corporation ("Bio-Dental") on
January 8, 1997, which has been accounted for as a pooling of interests as
described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements. We did not audit
the consolidated balance sheet of Bio-Dental as of March 31, 1995 or the related
consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity, and cash flows of
Bio-Dental for the eight months ended March 31, 1996 and for the years ended
March 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, which statements reflect total assets of
$12,512,119 as of March 31, 1995, and total revenues of $22,034,442 for the
eight months ended March 31, 1996 and $33,091,216, $31,582,277 and $20,017,039
for the years ended March 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Those financial
statements were audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us,
and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for Bio-Dental as
of such dates and for such periods, is based solely on the report of such other
auditors.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits and the report of the other auditors provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of the other auditors, the
consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Zila, Inc. and subsidiaries at July
31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended July 31, 1996 in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED JULY 31, 1996, 1995 AND 1994
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


1.   NATURE OF BUSINESS ACTIVITIES AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
     POLICIES

     NATURE OF BUSINESS ACTIVITIES - Zila, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company")
     is involved in the acquisition, development and marketing of
     over-the-counter, non-prescription products. In addition, through its
     wholly-owned subsidiaries, the Company sells professional dental products
     nationally. It markets consumable dental merchandise and supplies and
     equipment via telemarketing and catalog sales and markets high-technology
     dental products such as intra-oral cameras and practice software to
     dentists.

     PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION - The consolidated financial statements include
     the accounts of Zila, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Zila
     Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Zila International Inc., Zila Ltd. and Bio-Dental
     Technologies Corporation ("Bio-Dental"). Zila International, Inc. has no
     operations and its assets at July 31, 1996 and 1995 consist of 42,546
     shares of common stock of the Company. All significant intercompany
     balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

     On January 8, 1997, the Company completed a merger with Bio-Dental. On
     December 30, 1996, Bio-Dental's shareholders approved the all-stock
     transaction which provided for a per share exchange of .825 shares of the
     Company's common stock for each share of Bio-Dental common stock
     outstanding. As of January 8, 1997, Bio-Dental had 6,565,300 shares of
     common stock outstanding.

     The merger has been accounted for as a pooling of interests, and
     accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements give
     retroactive effect to the Bio-Dental merger and include the combined
     operations of Zila and Bio-Dental for all periods presented. Prior to the
     combination, Bio-Dental's year-end was March 31. Effective August 1, 1995,
     Bio-Dental's results are reported on a July 31, 1996 basis along with the
     results of Zila, Inc. Bio-Dental's net loss of $416,817 for the four-month
     period ended July 31, 1995 is reflected as an adjustment to the deficit
     during the year ended July 31, 1996. For the four-month period ended July
     31, 1995, Bio-Dental had revenues of $11,056,774, operating costs and
     expenses of $11,631,735, and a net loss of $416,817. Certain adjustments
     and reclassifications have been made to conform previously issued
     Bio-Dental financial statements to classifications and accounting policies
     used by Zila.

      restated for the periods prior to the combination of Bio-Dental.

      USE OF ESTIMATES - The preparation of financial statements in conformity
      with generally accepted accounting principles necessarily requires
      management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
      amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and
      liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
      amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
      results could differ from those estimates.

      CASH EQUIVALENTS - The Company considers highly liquid investments
      purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash
      equivalents.

      SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS - The Company adopted Statement of Financial
      Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments
      in Debt and Equity Securities, on August 1, 1994. SFAS No. 115 requires
      the classification of securities at acquisition into one of three
      categories: available-for-sale, held to maturity or trading. All the
      Company's investments are classified as available-for-sale. Prior to the
      accounting change for the adoption of SFAS No. 115, the Company carried
      its investments in short-term marketable debt and equity securities at the
      lower of cost or market.

      INVENTORIES, which consist of finished goods and raw materials, are stated
      at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market.

      PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT are stated at cost and are depreciated using
      straight-line methods over their respective estimated useful lives,
      ranging from 2 to 20 years. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over
      the lease term or the estimated useful life, whichever is shorter.

      INTANGIBLE ASSETS consist of deferred patent and licensing costs,
      goodwill, software rights, organizational costs, and covenants not to
      compete. Deferred patent and licensing costs incurred in connection with
      the acquisition of patent rights, obtaining Food and Drug Administration
      ("FDA") regulatory approvals and obtaining other licensing rights for
      treatment compositions are capitalized and amortized over the estimated
      benefit period not exceeding 17 years. Goodwill and organizational costs
      are being amortized over 20 to 40 years and covenants are amortized over
      the term of the agreement. Software rights are being amortized over five
      years. Research and development costs totaling

                                      -9-
<PAGE>   24
      approximately $626,000, $711,000 and $293,000 in 1996, 1995 and 1994,
      respectively, were expensed. The Company assesses the recoverability of
      goodwill and other intangible assets based on undiscounted projections of
      future cash flows.

      NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE is computed based on the weighted
      average number of common shares outstanding during each period after
      giving effect for any dilutive stock options, warrants and convertible
      preferred stock, all of which are considered to be common stock
      equivalents. For the year ended July 31, 1995, options and warrants that
      would otherwise qualify as common stock equivalents are excluded because
      their inclusion would have the effect of decreasing the loss per share.
      Fully diluted net income (loss) per common share is not materially
      different from primary net income (loss) per common share.

      INCOME TAXES - The Company adopted SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income
      Taxes, on August 1, 1993. The effect of such adoption had no significant
      impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations for
      the year ended July 31, 1994.

      NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS - In March 1995, the Financial Accounting
      Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 121, Accounting for Impairment of
      Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of. This
      Statement establishes accounting standards for the impairment of
      long-lived assets, certain identifiable intangibles and goodwill related
      to those assets to be held and used and long-lived assets and certain
      identifiable intangibles to be disposed of. The Statement requires that
      long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be held and used
      by an entity be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in
      circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be
      recoverable. In addition, the Statement requires that certain long-lived
      assets and intangibles to be disposed of be reported at the lower of
      carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. The Company adopted
      this accounting standard effective August 1, 1996, as required.

      In October 1995, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
      Compensation. This Statement establishes financial accounting and
      reporting for stock-based employee compensation plans, including stock
      purchase plans, stock options plans, restricted stock and stock
      appreciation rights. The Statement requires a fair value based method of
      accounting for employee stock options or similar instruments and
      encourages a similar method for all employee stock compensation plans.
      This method measures compensation cost at the grant date based on the
      value of an award and recognizes it over the service period, usually the
      vesting period. However, the Statement also allows an entity to continue
      measuring compensation cost for such plans using the intrinsic value
      method of accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board ("APB")
      Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, provided pro
      forma disclosures are made. The Company expects to continue to account for
      its stock-based employee compensation plans using the method of accounting
      prescribed by APB No. 25 and will provide the pro forma disclosures. The
      Company implemented this accounting standard effective August 1, 1996,
      as required.

      Beginning in fiscal 1998, the Company will be required to implement SFAS
      No. 128, Earnings Per Share, which requires, among other matters,
      presentation of basic earnings per share, which is calculated utilizing
      only weighted average common shares outstanding. The Company has not
      completed the process of evaluating the impact that will result from
      adopting SFAS No. 128. The Company is therefore unable to disclose the
      impact that adopting SFAS No. 128 will have on its financial position and
      results of operations when such standard is adopted.

      FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - The following disclosure of the estimated fair
      value of financial instruments is made in accordance with the requirements
      of SFAS No. 107, Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments.
      The carrying amounts and estimated fair value of the Company's financial
      instruments are as follows:

        The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts
        payable and accrued expenses approximate fair values due to the
        short-term maturities of these instruments.

        The carrying amount of long-term debt is estimated to approximate fair
        value as the actual interest rate is consistent with the rate estimated
        to be currently available for debt of similar term and remaining
        maturity.

      Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to credit risk
      consist principally of trade receivables. The Company provides credit, in
      the normal course of business, to pharmaceutical wholesalers and chains,
      food wholesalers and chains, rack jobbers, convenience stores, and
      dentists. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers
      and maintains an allowance for potential credit losses.

      CERTAIN RECLASSIFICATIONS have been made to the 1995 and 1994 financial
      statements to conform to the classifications used in 1996.

2.    ACQUISITIONS

      On March 7, 1996, the Company purchased one-third of the outstanding
      common stock of CTM Associates, Inc. ("CTM") from one of the three
      directors and shareholders of CTM. On June 3, 1996, the Company acquired
      the remaining two-thirds of the outstanding shares of CTM. The only
      significant asset of CTM was the technology rights it held related to
      OraTest (a diagnostic for oral cancer and site delineation device for
      biopsy and surgical excision) and its right to receive certain royalties
      from sales of OraTest from the Company. Accordingly, the acquisition of
      CTM eliminates the Company's obligation to pay royalties to CTM on
      revenues generated from sales of OraTest. As consideration for the
      acquisition of all of the CTM common stock, the Company issued a total of
      869,118 shares of the Company's common stock with a value of $7,170,223,
      paid $125,000, and assumed certain liabilities of approximately $70,000.
      The acquisition was accounted for as an acquisition of assets and the
      purchase price was recorded as purchased technology rights. The purchased
      technology rights are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the
      expected period of benefit of 17 years which is based on the remaining
      life of the related patents. Accumulated amortization and amortization
      expense was $72,740 as of and for the year ended July 31, 1996.

      On November 14, 1994, the Company signed an agreement and purchased the
      assets and certain liabilities of Crown Systems, Inc. ("Crown"), effective
      November 1, 1994. In connection with this purchase, the Company issued
      29,858 shares of common stock to Crown. The assets acquired consisted
      primarily of accounts receivable and dental practice management software
      rights. As part of the transaction, the Company retired approximately
      $205,000 of assumed liabilities. On October 25, 1995, the Company issued
      an additional 9,331 shares of common stock to the previous owners of Crown
      due to a change in the calculated purchase price.

      The transaction was accounted for as a purchase. The software rights which
      were acquired were being amortized over a period of five years. In October
      1996, the Company recorded an impairment write-down against all such
      software rights as described in Note 15. The assets and liabilities are
      held in Integrated Dental Technologies, Inc.("IDT"), a wholly-owned
      subsidiary of Bio-Dental.


                                      -11-
<PAGE>   26
      On July 6, 1994, the Company signed an agreement and purchased the assets
      and certain liabilities of Oral Vision, Inc. The acquisition was effective
      as of January 1, 1994, as the Company effectively maintained control of
      the operations, assets and liabilities of Oral Vision, Inc. as of that
      date. In connection with this purchase, the Company issued 225,000 shares
      of restricted common stock. The assets and liabilities acquired consist
      mainly of inventories and accounts receivable and trade accounts
      payable. As part of the transaction, the Company retired approximately
      $515,000 of the assumed liabilities, thereby releasing certain security
      interests held by a vendor of Oral Vision, Inc.

      The transaction was accounted for as a purchase. The purchase price was
      allocated to the fair value of Oral Vision's assets and liabilities and
      the excess of $215,919 was allocated to goodwill. The goodwill will be
      amortized on the straight-line method over a period of 20 years. The
      depreciable assets acquired will be depreciated over their remaining 
      useful lives on a straight-line basis. The assets and liabilities will be 
      held in IDT.

      On January 3, 1994, Bio-Dental acquired all of the outstanding capital
      stock of Ryker Dental of Kentucky, Inc. ("Ryker") pursuant to the merger
      ("Merger") of Bio-Dental's wholly-owned subsidiary, San Diego Dental
      Supply, Inc. ("SDDS"), with and into Ryker with Ryker being the surviving
      entity. Pursuant to the Merger, Bio-Dental issued 181,500 shares of
      its previously unissued restricted common stock to the shareholders of
      Ryker in cancellation of the shares of Ryker common stock. Bio-Dental
      became the sole shareholder of Ryker through the conversion of each
      outstanding shares of common stock of SDDS into one share of common stock
      of Ryker. As part of the transaction, Bio-Dental retired approximately
      $720,000 of Ryker's debt, thereby releasing the former shareholders of
      Ryker from their original personal guarantees on such debt.

      The transaction was accounted for as a purchase. The purchase price was
      allocated to the fair value of Ryker's assets and liabilities and the
      excess of $388,186 was allocated to goodwill. The goodwill will be
      amortized on the straight-line method over a period of 20 years. The
      depreciable assets acquired will be depreciated over their remaining 
      useful lives on a straight-line basis.

liquidity or changes in interest rates, are accounted for as securities
available-for-sale and are carried at fair value, with the net, after-tax,
unrealized holding gain or loss reported as a separate component of
shareholders' equity with no effect on current results of operations. The change

      Deferred licensing costs consist primarily of certain costs associated
      with obtaining FDA approval for a new product, OraTest (formerly OraScan).
      The recoverability of the deferred licensing costs and purchased
      technology rights is dependent upon both FDA approval and sufficient
      revenues generated from sales of OraTest; management believes that they
      will receive FDA approval and generate revenues sufficient to recover such
      costs.

      Purchased technology rights relate to the acquisition of CTM (Note 2).

7.    SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS AND LONG-TERM DEBT

      LINE OF CREDIT - During fiscal 1996, the Company renewed a $250,000
      revolving bank line of credit which expired in April 1997, and which was
      collateralized by trade accounts receivable, inventories and rights to
      payments. Interest is payable monthly on the unpaid balance at the bank's
      prime rate (8.25% at July 31, 1996) plus 1.75%. At July 31, 1996, the
      Company had no borrowings against the line of credit.

      LONG-TERM DEBT - At July 31, 1996, long-term debt consists of a mortgage
      note bearing interest at the bank's prime rate (8.25% at July 31, 1996)
      plus 2.25% per year due in monthly principal installments of $2,315,
      through March 2001 with a balloon payment due April 1, 2001. The Company
      has the option through March 1998 to convert to a fixed interest rate of
      4.25% over the U.S. Treasury rate. The note is collateralized by the
      Company's land and building.

      Aggregate annual maturities of long-term debt for the years ending July 31
      are as follows:

      Under the bank line of credit and mortgage note, the Company is required
      to comply with financial covenants based on certain financial ratios. At
      July 31, 1996, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.

8.    LICENSING FEE INCOME AND ROYALTIES

      The Company has entered into various licensing agreements (the
      "Agreements"). Under the terms of the Agreements, the licensees acquire
      the right to manufacture and sell the Company's products in markets
      previously not pursued by the Company. In return, the Company will receive
      non-refundable license fees and/or royalties equal to a fixed percentage
      of the net sales by the licensees of the Company's products. One of the
      Agreements provides that the royalty payments will meet certain minimum
      annual levels irrespective of the volume of sales subject to the
      Agreement.

      During the year ended July 31, 1996, the Company received $750,000 in
      non-refundable licensing fees from The Procter & Gamble Company ("P&G") in
      connection with a licensing agreement between P&G and the Company, which
      was subsequently terminated on April 3, 1996. Additionally, under the
      licensing agreement with P&G, the Company received $265,330 in
      reimbursements for costs associated with obtaining FDA approval for
      OraTest. At July 31, 1996, the Company had a receivable of approximately
      $130,000 from P&G which was received after year-end.

      In March 1991, Bio-Dental incorporated a wholly-owned subsidiary,
      Denticator International, Inc. (DII) and transferred Bio-Dental's
      manufacturing operations into DII in exchange for the issuance of a
      $600,282 note to Bio-Dental with monthly principal payments of $10,005
      plus interest at 150% of Bio-Dental's cost of funds from April 1, 1994
      through March 31, 1999. Interest only payments were made

                                      -15-
<PAGE>   30
      from March 1991 through March 31, 1994. Effective with the date of
      incorporation, Bio-Dental entered into a licensing agreement with DII for
      the manufacture and sale of certain dental products owned by Bio-Dental.
      Under this agreement, DII paid Bio-Dental a monthly royalty equal to the
      greater of $30,000 or 17% of net sales of DII. In addition, the agreement
      provided for further royalties to be paid to Bio-Dental if DII achieved
      certain levels of profitability. On March 31, 1991, Bio-Dental sold all of
      the outstanding capital stock of DII to DII's former operations manager.
      The sales agreement incorporated the licensing agreement described above.
      At July 31, 1995, the note receivable from the sale of DII is presented as
      assets of business transferred under contractual arrangements in the
      balance sheet.

      During 1996, 1995, and 1994, Bio-Dental earned royalties under the DII
      licensing agreement totaling $1,235,069, $1,665,699 and $1,665,664,
      respectively, which are included in licensing fees and royalty revenue and
      interest on the note receivable totaling $66,739, $69,418, and $192,182,
      respectively, which is included in interest and other income.

      On July 22, 1996, Young Innovations, Inc. ("Young") acquired substantially
      all of the assets and certain liabilities of DII. Bio-Dental received
      approximately $7,500,000 in lieu of future royalties that Bio-Dental was
      entitled to receive in connection with its licensing agreement with DII.
      In addition, Young issued Bio-Dental a product credit against future
      purchases from Young equal to the amounts due Bio-Dental at the time of
      closing. Included in other receivables and other assets at July 31, 1996
      is $600,249 and $355,103, respectively, of product credits due from Young.
      Concurrent with the closing of the transaction, Bio-Dental canceled
      options to purchase 50,000 shares of Bio-Dental's restricted common stock
      that were held by DII.

9.    STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS

     As a result of the merger described in Note 1, each Bio-Dental stock option
or stock purchase warrant that was outstanding at the merger date can be used to
purchase .825 shares of Zila, Inc. common stock. The exercise price of
outstanding Bio-Dental options and warrants was also adjusted at the merger
date. The new exercise prices are calculated by dividing the original exercise
price by .825. The summary of activity related to options and warrants below
includes Bio-Dental options and warrants adjusted for the terms of the merger.

      a.    OPTIONS - The Company adopted a Stock Option Award Plan which became
            effective on September 1, 1988, authorizing the Board of Directors
            to grant options to employees and certain employee-directors of the
            Company to purchase up to 4,000,000 shares of the Company's common
            stock. The plan was amended December 8, 1995 to increase the
            authorized number of shares to 5,000,000. The options will be issued
            with an exercise price no less than the market value at the date of
            grant. Options may be exercised at any time up to five to ten years
            from the date of grant. At July 31, 1996, 1,032,893 shares were
            available for grant under this plan.

            The Company adopted a Non-Employee Directors Stock Option Plan which
            became effective October 20, 1989, authorizing the Board of
            Directors to grant options to 100,000 shares to non-employee members
            of the Board of Directors in increments of 2,500 shares per director
            each year. The plan was amended December 8, 1995 to increase the
            authorized number of shares to 200,000. The options will be issued
            with an exercise price equal to the market value at the date of
            grant. All options may be exercised at any time up to five years
            from the date of grant. At July 31, 1996, 112,500 shares were
            available for grant under this plan.

10.   RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

      In connection with the acquisition of patent rights in 1980, the Company
      agreed to pay to Dr. James E. Tinnell, the inventor of one of the
      Company's treatment compositions and a director of the Company, a royalty
      of 5% of gross sales of the treatment composition. Royalty expense to Dr.
      Tinnell for the years ended July 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 was $300,078,
      $263,311 and $201,014, respectively.

      The Company advanced $129,338 in fiscal year 1994 to certain of its
      officers for withholding taxes due upon exercise of common stock options.
      The outstanding advances were $16,167 and $38,331 at July 31, 1996 and
      1995, respectively. The notes bear interest at 4.16% per year and are
      payable in full on December 31, 1996. Included in interest income is $962,
      $1,609 and $2,216 for the years ended July 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994,
      respectively, related to these notes.

      The Company leases office space to a radio broadcasting company (the
      "Broadcast Company") controlled by one of the directors of the Company.
      During fiscal 1996, 1995 and 1994, the Company recognized approximately
      $3,109, $11,863 and $23,494, respectively, in rental income under this
      lease. Under the terms of the current lease, monthly rent is approximately
      $3,600. As of July 31, 1996, the Broadcast Company is in arrears of
      approximately $42,000 in rent and other items related to this lease. The
      rent receivable is offset, in full, by a reserve. Subsequent to July 31,
      1996, the rent receivable was paid in full and the reserve was reversed.

      As a result of applying SFAS No. 109, previously unrecorded deferred tax
      benefits from operating loss carryforwards incurred by the Company were
      recognized at August 1, 1993, as part of the cumulative effect of adopting
      the Statement. Also recognized at that date was a valuation allowance for
      the same amount. Approximately $1,920,000 of the deferred tax asset before
      valuation allowance relates to deductions generated by the exercise of
      stock options, which, if realized, will result in an increase in capital
      in excess of par value. Management believes the valuation allowance
      reduces deferred tax assets to an amount that represents management's best
      estimate of the amount of such deferred tax assets that more likely than
      not will be realized.

      At July 31, 1996, the Company had federal net operating loss carryforwards
      totaling approximately $15,355,000 which expire, if not previously
      utilized, from 1997 through 2011. Net operating loss carryforwards for
      state income tax purposes, totaling approximately $6,438,000, must be
      utilized within five years of the date of their origination, and expire
      from 1998 through 2002.

12.   DALECO ZILA PARTNERS II, L.P.

      In June 1992, the Company entered into an agreement with Daleco Capital
      Corporation to form a limited partnership known as Daleco Zila Partners
      II, L.P. (the "Partnership"). The Company and its officers have no
      partnership interest in the Partnership. The purpose of the Partnership
      was to provide the Company with a means to fund the marketing program for
      certain new products. The original Partnership agreement provided for a
      minimum of $150,000 and a maximum of $1,562,500 to be raised by the sale
      of partnership units. Under the original agreement, the Partnership will
      expend up to 80% of the gross partnership proceeds for marketing and
      sales-related expenditures on behalf of the Company. In 1994, the
      Partnership agreement was amended to increase the maximum amount of
      marketing funds potentially available to the Company to be raised to
      $2,250,000.

      In addition, the Company issued to Daleco Capital Corporation and the
      Partnership warrants to purchase 100,000 and 300,000 shares, respectively,
      of the Company's common stock at $3.00 a share subject to a vesting
      schedule. As a part of the amendment to the original agreement, Daleco
      Capital Corporation and the Partnership were issued an additional 80,000
      and 240,000 warrants, respectively. The warrants vest at the rate at which
      the Partnership expends the net partnership proceeds on the Company's
      marketing program.


                                     - 19 -
<PAGE>   34
      At July 31, 1996 and 1995, approximately $1,820,000 has been spent. The
      Company is committed to pay the Partnership a commission equal to 5% to
      10% of the gross sales of certain of the Company's new products, until
      such time as three times the amount of funds expended on the Company's
      marketing program by the Partnership has been paid to the Partnership.

      Included in selling, general and administrative expense for the years
      ended July 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 is approximately $15,000, $25,000 and
      $19,000, respectively, of commissions paid to the Partnership.

      During the years ended July 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, the Partnership
      funded or accrued approximately $-0-, $10,500 and $810,000, respectively,
      in marketing costs. Included in trade accounts receivable at July 31, 1995
      is approximately $60,000 of such costs which were reimbursed by the
      Partnership in fiscal 1996.

      The Company had no funding of marketing programs by the Partnership after
      July 31, 1995 and anticipates no further funding. Accordingly, 137,520
      warrants expired as a result of the Partnership raising less than the
      maximum level of marketing funds.

13.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

      Two officers of the Company are covered under separate employment
      contracts. Each contract provides for five years notice of termination and
      provides for an annual base compensation ranging from $165,000 to
      $175,000.

      The Company has a New Drug Application pending with the FDA for OraTest.
      The initiation of the marketing of OraTest in the United States is
      dependent upon the approval of the New Drug Application by the FDA. During
      1994, the FDA approved the Company's application for an Investigational
      New Drug for OraTest, which allows the Company to manufacture the product
      in the United States for clinical studies and export to certain foreign
      countries. The Company believes that the FDA will approve the New Drug
      Application and the production and marketing of OraTest (Note 6).

      In March 1993, the Company entered into a manufacturing and distribution
      agreement with Germiphene Corporation ("Germiphene") to manufacture,
      distribute and sell OraTest in Canada. For the years ended July 31, 1996,
      1995 and 1994, the Company had $7,000, $18,000 and $48,000, respectively,
      in sales of OraTest related to the Germiphene agreement.

      The Company also leases a manufacturing facility in Phoenix, Arizona under
      a three year agreement which expires April 30, 1999. The agreement has an
      option to renew for an additional five years. Additionally, the Company
      leases offices, warehouse facilities and certain equipment, under
      operating leases which expire through 2002. Future minimum lease payments
      under these noncancellable leases are as follows:

      Rent expense for the years ended July 31, 1996 and 1995 totaled $171,096
      and $170,936, respectively.

      The Company filed a complaint against Colgate-Palmolive Company
      ("Colgate") alleging that one of Colgate's products infringes upon one of
      the Company's patents. Colgate answered the Company's complaint, denying
      the infringement and asserting that the Company's patent is invalid and
      unenforceable. The case was settled on March 6, 1997 and had no material
      impact on the Company's financial statements.

      In July 1995, Bio-Dental was named as a defendant, along with Bio-Dental's
      transfer agent and a shareholder of Bio-Dental (Shareholder), in a
      lawsuit. The lawsuit alleges that Bio-Dental wrongfully failed to register
      200,000 Bio-Dental shares of stock in the name of the plaintiffs which
      were pledged as security by the Shareholder for a debt owed by the
      Shareholder to the plaintiffs.

      Bio-Dental denies all of the material allegations of the lawsuit against
      it and asserts various affirmative defenses. Bio-Dental will vigorously
      defend against the claims set forth in the lawsuit. The ultimate outcome
      of the above matter could not be determined at July 31, 1996. Accordingly,
      no provision for any loss that would result upon resolution of this
      lawsuit has been made in the accompanying financial statements as of July
      31, 1996. In September 1996, Bio-Dental accrued a liability of $450,000
      because it decided to attempt a settlement of this litigation.
      Bio-Dental's settlement attempt was not successful. In January 1997, a
      judgment by the court in favor of Bio-Dental and against the plaintiffs
      was filed. In February 1997, the plaintiffs started the process to appeal
      the judgment.

      Upon consummation of the Company's merger with Bio-Dental, each of the
      outstanding shares of Bio-Dental common stock was converted into .825
      shares of the Company's common stock. Subsequent to the merger, the
      Company's stock transfer agent was presented with a certificate purporting
      to represent 220,000 shares of Bio-Dental common stock which did not
      appear on the records of Bio-Dental's stock transfer agent as of the
      closing date. The Company is currently investigating this matter and has
      not determined whether any shares of the Company's common stock are
      required to be issued in exchange for the shares purportedly represented
      by this certificate.

      The Company is subject to other legal proceedings and claims which arise
      in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the
      amount of ultimate liability with respect to these actions will not
      materially affect the financial position or results of operations of the
      Company.

14.   EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN

      The Company has adopted the Zila, Inc. 401(k) Savings and Retirement Plan
      (the "Plan") for the benefit of eligible employees. Employees may elect to
      defer receipt of a portion of their compensation to future years. The
      Company may make matching or profit sharing contributions to the Plan.
      During 1996 and 1995, the Company contributed approximately $14,000 and
      $11,000, respectively, to the Plan.

      Bio-Dental adopted an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) in fiscal year
      1991. The benefits allocated to each participant are in direct proportion
      to that person's annual compensation. All employees who meet the following
      criteria are eligible for benefits: 1) must be 18 years of age or older;
      2) must have worked at least 1,000 hours in the given plan (fiscal) year;
      and 3) must be employed on the last day of the plan year. All participants
      become fully vested after 5 years of continuous employment with
      Bio-Dental.

      Once vested, a person may receive benefits under the plan:

      a. no later than six years from the date of termination of employment with
      Bio-Dental; or

      b. upon reaching the age of 60.

15.   RESTRUCTURING

      During the year ended July 31, 1996, the Company recorded a charge of
      $271,631 for the restructuring of IDT. As a result of the restructuring,
      IDT no longer sells computer hardware or filmless x-ray systems. Costs
      included in the restructuring charge include contract costs and other
      costs. The Company expects that the liabilities associated with such costs
      will be paid or settled within the next fiscal year.

      As a result of management's decision to restructure its operations, an
      inventory valuation allowance of approximately $300,000 was recorded, and
      management reserved approximately $250,000 for sales returns related to
      discontinued items.

      In connection with assessing the recoverability of goodwill and other
      intangible assets in the first quarter of fiscal 1997, the Company
      determined that such assets that are associated with IDT would not likely
      be recoverable as defined by SFAS No. 121. This determination was the
      result of IDT failing to achieve original projections of operating results
      subsequent to the restructuring of IDT in early 1996. As a result, a
      $587,659 impairment loss was recognized to reduce the carrying value of
      these long-lived assets to fair value. Fair value was estimated based on
      management's best estimate of discounted future cash flows.

16.   ADDITIONAL FINANCING

      On March 29, 1996, the Company signed term notes in the aggregate
      principal amount of $1,250,000. As additional consideration for the term
      notes, the Company issued 206,250 warrants to purchase the common stock of
      the Company at an initial exercise price of $3.67 per share. In
      conjunction with the transaction, the Company paid to a related party, a
      placement fee of $100,000 and issued warrants to purchase 41,250 shares of
      the Company's stock at an initial exercise price of $3.67 per share. The
      transaction was completed on April 1, 1996, when the purchasers of the
      notes transferred cash to the Company.

      The notes had a stated interest rate of 12%, and accrued interest was due
      on September 30, 1996 and March 31, 1997. Thereafter, interest was due on
      a quarterly basis. Subsequent to the sale of Bio-Dental's rights to
      receive future royalty payments from DII (Note 8), Bio-Dental paid
      all principal and interest due under the notes. All warrants issued in
      conjunction with this transaction were exercised prior to the merger
      between Zila, Inc. and Bio-Dental.

17.   SEGMENTS OF BUSINESS

      The Company aligns its business into two segments, Consumer and
      Professional. The Consumer segment's principal products are
      over-the-counter, non-prescription oral care products. Major brands
      include Zilactin(R), Zilactin(R)-L, (formerly Zilactol(R)), Zilactin(R)-B
      and Zilactin(R)-Lip. These products are distributed primarily through
      pharmaceutical wholesalers and chains, food wholesalers and chains, rack
      jobbers and convenience stores. The Professional segment includes dental
      supplies, dental equipment, dental practice management software, digital
      x-ray devices, intra-oral cameras and OraTest product development costs.
      These products are used principally in the professional fields by dentists
      and other oral care health professionals and are sold directly to the
      professional.

18.   SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

      On April 4, 1997, the Company acquired Cygnus Imaging, Inc., a small
      privately-held company located in Scottsdale, Arizona that manufactures
      and distributes intra-oral camera systems and other dental imaging
      products. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and resulted in
      the issuance of approximately 260,000 shares of the Company's common stock
      with a market value of $1,725,000 and the recording of approximately
      $2,059,000 of goodwill. The Company is still evaluating certain
      contingencies that could impact the allocation of the purchase price.

      Effective April 30, 1997, the Company entered into an investment agreement
      (the "Investment Agreement") with Deere Park Capital Management (the
      "Investor") which allows the Company to sell up to $25,000,000 of the
      Company's common stock with the proceeds to be used to fund OraTest
      marketing and general corporate purposes. The option to sell stock to the
      Investor will remain available for a period of 12 months following the
      effective date of the registration statement discussed below (the "12
      Month Period"). As part of the Investment Agreement, the Company sold
      $3,000,000 of stock on April 30, 1997, and has committed to sell an
      additional $10,000,000 of common stock to the Investor over the 12 Month
      Period. At April 30, 1997, the net proceeds of $2,900,000 from the initial
      sale of shares were held in escrow. During May 1997, the cash held in
      escrow was released to the Company.

      The Investment Agreement provides that the Company can obtain up to
      $2,000,000 at any one time through the sale of the Company's common stock.
      All shares sold will be at a 7% discount to the average low trading price
      of the Company's common stock over a specified period of time, subject to
      a maximum purchase price calculation. Sales are subject to the 
      satisfaction of certain conditions, including registration of the shares,
      a minimum market volume, and certain limitations on the number of shares
      of the Company's common stock outstanding.

      As a commitment fee for keeping the equity line available for the 12 Month
      Period, the Company has issued warrants dated May 7, 1997 (the "Warrants")
      to the Investor exercisable for 300,000 shares of common stock at an
      exercise price of $8.6125 per share. The Warrants are exercisable for a
      three year period commencing October 31, 1997. A registration statement
      pertaining to the shares issued and to be issued under the Investment
      Agreement and the Warrants is to be filed and effective no later than
      August 30, 1997 before any funds, other than the initial draw of
      $2,900,000, may be drawn under the Investment Agreement.
