        Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements

                                 March 31, 1996

1.     Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited, consolidated, condensed financial statements of Ion Laser
Technology, Inc. (the "Company"), as of June 30, 1996 and March 31, 1996
and for the three months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 were prepared by the
Company without audit in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial information and in accordance with the
instructions to Form 10-QSB and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the
Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.  In the
opinion of management, all necessary adjustments to the financial
statements have been made to present fairly the financial position and
results of operations and cash flows of the Company.  The results of
operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the
results for the respective complete years.  For further information, refer
to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in
the Company's annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended March 31,
1996.

Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share is computed based on the weighted average number of
shares of common stock and common stock equivalent shares outstanding
during each fiscal year.  Common stock equivalent shares consist primarily
of stock options that have a dilutive effect when applying the treasury
stock method.  The weighted average number of shares outstanding were
3,949,695 and 5,282,660 at June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications, none of which affect net income, have been made
to the prior periods' amounts in order to conform to the current period
presentation.

Item 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
          Results of Operations.

Results of Operations

Sales for the three months ended June 30, 1996, exceeded those for the
same quarter of the previous year by $369,000 or 36%.  This increase is
due to sales related to the introduction of the Brite Smile Laser
Whitening product line during the fourth quarter of fiscal 1996.  Total
dental sales accounted for approximately $942,000 for the quarter or 67%
of total sales.  This compares to $454,000 or 44% for the quarter ended
June 30, 1995.

The Company's gross margin increased from 36% in the prior period to 59%
in the quarter ended June 30, 1996, as margins on both the laser whitening
systems and whitening chemicals have exceeded those on other products sold
by the Company.

Selling and administrative expenses increased from 28% of net sales to 50%
of net sales during the quarter.  This increase is due largely to expenses
incurred in the initial marketing of the new laser tooth whitening
systems.  The Company also incurred significant expenses associated with
the move of its tooth whitening chemical division during the quarter. 
Although Management plans to continue to invest heavily in marketing and
advertising, management does not anticipate long-term expenditures of
selling and administrative expenses at rates equal to 50% of revenues. 
Research and Development expenses increased slightly, although much of the
Company's research and development is being done in conjunction with
United Technologies and much of this does not translate to an expense on
the income statement.

Other Income increased, as other expenses decreased, due to the payoff of
the Company's line of credit and the interest received on the Company's
cash reserves.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's cash position declined during the quarter in the amount of
$1,565,389.  The Company used $909,945 in its operations.  Amounts spent
in operations included an increase in receivables as sales increased, and
increase in inventory for the purpose of increasing production capability
and a reduction in accounts payable.

Investing activities used $308,659.  The Company invested in computer and
production equipment, a trade show booth, and furniture and facilities
during the quarter.

Financing activities used $346,785.  This was due to the payoff of the
Company's line of credit.  The Company received cash from certain
individuals who exercised options to purchase the Company's common stock
during the quarter.

Part II.     Other Information

No material matter occurred during the three months ended June 30, 1996
that requires disclosure in Part II of this filing.
