(1)        DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

           BriteSmile, Inc., a Utah corporation ("BriteSmile" or the "Company"),
and its affiliates  develop,  produce and sell advanced teeth whitening products
and services.  In February 1999 the Company  introduced its new Light  Activated
Teeth  Whitening  System  technology  (the  "BriteSmile  Light  Activated  Teeth
Whitening System" or "LATW", patents pending), including its new BriteSmile 2000
system  ("BS2000"),  new whitening gel and new  whitening  process.  The LATW is
distributed  in   Company-owned   retail  salon  settings  known  as  BriteSmile
Professional  Teeth Whitening  Centers  ("Centers")  and in certain  independent
premier cosmetic dental offices known as BriteSmile Professional Teeth Whitening
Associated  Centers  ("Associated   Centers").  In  November  1999  the  Company
introduced  its  new  BriteSmile  3000  LATW  keycard  system   ("BS3000")  into
Associated Centers.  This new mobile version of the BS2000 can be installed more
quickly and provides the needed flexibility and mobility in dental offices.

           In  February  1999 the LATW was  introduced  in the  Company's  first
Center in Walnut Creek, California.  In March 1999, the Company opened its first
Associated Center in Louisville,  Kentucky. As of February 11, 2000, the Company
continued to open Centers and  Associated  Centers.  As of February 8, 2000, the
Company had 14 Centers and 190 Associated Centers in operation.

           The  Company  is not  engaged  in the  practice  of  dentistry.  Each
licensed  dentist who  operates a Center or  Associated  Center  maintains  full
control over dental matters, including the supervision of dental auxiliaries and
the administration of the LATW procedure.

           The  Company  does not believe  that its  business  follows  seasonal
trends.  However,  because certain of the Company's Centers are located within a
mall  environment,  the  potential  for  seasonality  exists.  As a result,  the
Company's sales performance could potentially be effected.

           Unless specified to the contrary herein,  references to BriteSmile or
to the  Company  refer to the  Company and its  subsidiaries  on a  consolidated
basis.


Basis of Presentation

           The   accompanying   unaudited   condensed   consolidated   financial
statements  have been prepared by the Company in  accordance  with the rules and
regulations  of the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission  for Form 10-QSB,  and
accordingly,  do not include all of the  information  and footnotes  required by
generally accepted accounting  principles.  In the opinion of management,  these
unaudited condensed  consolidated  financial statements reflect all adjustments,
which  consist  only of normal  recurring  adjustments,  which are  necessary to

flows as of  December  31,  1999 and for the  periods  presented  herein.  These
unaudited  condensed   consolidated  financial  statements  should  be  read  in
conjunction  with  the  consolidated  financial  statements  and  notes  thereto
included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended
March 31, 1999.

           The results of operations for the nine months ended December 31, 1999
are not  necessarily  indicative  of the results  that may be  expected  for the
remainder of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2000.

(2)   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES-(CONTINUED)

Income Taxes

           The Company uses the asset and  liability  method of  accounting  for
income  taxes.  Under this  method,  deferred  tax assets  and  liabilities  are
recognized for the future tax consequences  attributable to differences  between
the financial  statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and
their  respective tax basis.  Deferred tax assets and  liabilities  are measured
using  enacted  tax rates  expected  to apply to taxable  income in the years in
which those temporary  differences are expected to be settled or recovered.  The
effect  on  deferred  tax  assets  and  liabilities  of a change in tax rates is
recognized in the period that includes the enactment date.

           The Company  has  recognized  no tax  benefit  for the net  operating
losses  incurred during the three and nine months ended December 31, 1999 due to
uncertainties  about the Company's ability to generate future earnings to offset
such losses.

Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Common Share

           Basic net loss per common share is calculated based upon the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during the periods presented.

           In calculating net loss per share for the three and nine months ended
December  31,  1999 and 1998,  there  were  warrants  and  options  to  purchase
5,652,433 and 4,036,167  potential  common shares,  respectively,  that were not
included in the  computation of diluted net loss per share as their effect would
have been anti-dilutive, thereby decreasing the net loss per common share.

Reclassifications

           Certain  reclassifications  have  been  made  in the  prior  period's
consolidated financial statements to conform with the current year presentation.


(3)   STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

           In June 1999, the Company  completed a private placement of 1,355,555
shares  of its  common  stock for  $15,000,000.  1,004,043  shares  were sold to
private  investors,   and  the  remaining  351,512  were  sold  to  a  group  of
individuals,  including  members of senior  management,  the Company's  Board of
Directors and key consultants ("Management Purchasers").

           Pursuant to  Registration  Rights  Agreements  entered  into with the
Company,  the  non-Management  Purchasers  acquired  certain rights to cause the
Company to register  their shares for offer and sale under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Piggyback Registration Rights").

           Pursuant  to Amended  and  Restated  Registration  Rights  Agreements
entered into between the Company and the Management  Purchasers,  the Management
Purchasers  acquired  Piggyback  Registration  Rights,  and also certain limited
demand registration rights.

           On October 29, 1999, LCO Investments  Limited ("LCO"),  the principal
shareholder of the Company,  exercised  options to purchase  1,173,334 shares of
common stock of the Company, resulting in proceeds of $5,280,003 to the Company.
The Company  granted the options to LCO in April 1996 and May 1997 in connection
with private placements of the Company's common stock.

(4)        STOCK OPTIONS

           During 1990, the Company adopted an employee stock option plan, which
was approved by the  shareholders  on September  5, 1990 (the "1990  Plan").  In
January  1997,  the Company  adopted the 1997 Stock  Option and  Incentive  Plan
("1997 Plan"),  which was subsequently  amended by the Board of Directors of the
Company in January  1999 to increase the total  number of shares  available  for
issuance  under the plan from 2 million to 4 million (the  "Revised 1997 Plan").
Substantially all of the employee stock options outstanding at December 31, 1999
have been  issued  pursuant  to the  Revised  1997  Plan.  Only 182 of all stock
options  outstanding  at December 31, 1999 were granted  under the 1990 Plan. No
additional  options will be granted under the 1990 Plan.  Under the Revised 1997
Plan,  the Company is  authorized  to issue up to four million  shares of common
stock pursuant to stock awards or upon the exercise of options granted under the
plan. The shareholders of the Company approved the issuance of up to two million
shares of common stock under the Company's  1997 Plan as  originally  adopted in
1997. At the Company's 1999 Annual Meeting,  shareholders  approved the issuance
of the additional two million shares now available  under the Revised 1997 Plan.
On November 24, 1999,  the Board of Directors  amended the 1997 Plan to increase
the total number of shares  available for issuance under the plan from 4 million
to 4.8 million.  Selected  option grants to  consultants  pursuant to consulting
agreements  have been issued outside the Revised 1997 Plan. The option price per
share is  determined  by the board of  directors,  but shall be no less than the
fair market  value of the  underlying  shares on the date of the grant.  Options
granted under the Revised 1997 Plan  generally  vest at various  intervals up to
five years and expire after ten years.


(5)        SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

           On  January  18,  2000,  the  Company  issued  and sold in a  private
placement  3,333,333  shares (the "New Shares") of its Common  Stock,  par value
$.001  per  share,   for  aggregate   proceeds  of  $20,000,000   (the  "Private
Placement").  The purchase price of the New Shares was $6.00 per share.  The New
Shares  represent  14.2  percent of the  Company's  total shares of Common Stock
issued and outstanding, after giving effect to the Private Placement.

           The New Shares were issued to three private investors, Pequot Private
Equity Fund II,  L.P.(1,666,667  shares),  Pequot Partners Fund,  L.P.  (833,333
shares), and Pequot International Fund, Inc. (833,333 shares).

           Effective  February 1, 2000, the Company  issued an aggregate  30,927
shares of restricted common stock to three affiliated purchasers (Quota Rabbicco
II, Ltd., Argonaut  Partnership,  L.P. and David E. Gerstenhaber),  in a private
placement for cash proceeds to the Company of $185,562.

           Effective February 8, 2000, the Company issued 77,318 shares of
restricted  common stock to Andrew J.  McKelvey in a private  placement for cash
proceeds to the Company of 463,908.

           Center Whitening Fees, net.   Center whitening fees, net for the

1998.  During the three months ended December 31, 1999, the Company opened 2 new
Centers,  for a total of 8. Teeth whitening fees are expected to increase during

           Product Sales. Product sales for the three months ended December 31,
1999 totaled $71,000. Product sales for the three months ended December 31, 1999
represent the Company's  toothpaste  and newly  introduced  Sonicare  toothbrush

retail  products  to be sold at  Centers,  Associated  Centers  and  through  an
E-Commerce website (to be introduced in fiscal year 2001). Product sales for the
three months  ended  December 31, 1998,  represent  the  discontinuation  of the

facility  in  Walnut  Creek.   The  Company   expects  to  realize   savings  of
approximately  $1,000,000  during  the next  twelve  months  as a result of this

discontinue all activities  related to the industrial and scientific laser lines
of business,  discontinue  development and sales of its laser-based LTW device -
the arc lamp tooth whitening system,  and move its headquarters to Pennsylvania.

Company's  63  employees  located  in Utah were  scheduled  for  termination.  A
termination  benefits  liability  of  $200,000  was  established  and charged to

$8,538,000 to  $16,407,000  for the nine months ended December 31, 1999 compared
to the nine months ended  December 31, 1998 due to a combination  of the factors

Liquidity and Capital Resources

           General

           The  Company's  principal  sources of  liquidity  are cash flows from
operations and cash on hand. At December 31, 1999, the Company had $2,878,000 of
cash and cash equivalents. The Company is in the early stages of opening Centers
and  Associated  Centers.  As of  December  31,  1999,  the Company has opened 8
Centers  and 89  Associated  Centers.  The  Company  expects to open  additional
Centers  and  Associated  Centers  by the end of  fiscal  2000 and  beyond.  The
Company's  opening of additional  Centers and  Associated  Centers is contingent
upon several  factors,  including  available cash  resources,  ability to secure
leases for its Centers and  acceptance  by the  consumer and  Associated  Center
dentists of the Company's service. Currently, the Centers and Associated Centers
which are open are  operating  at a loss.  The Company  expects  that  operating
losses  will  continue   through  fiscal  2000.  The  Company   expects  capital
expenditures to be approximately $18,000,000 for its fiscal year ended March 31,
2000.  It is  expected  that the  Company's  principal  uses of cash  will be to
provide  working  capital,  finance capital  expenditures  and for other general
corporate  purposes.  The Company believes that its current sources of liquidity
and the recent $20,000,000 equity contribution received in January 2000, will be
adequate  to meet its  anticipated  requirements  for working  capital,  capital
expenditures and other general corporate  purposes and expansion during the next
twelve months. There can be no assurance,  however,  that the Company's business
will generate  cash flows at or above  current  levels or that cost savings from
consolidation  efforts can be achieved.  Accordingly,  the Company may choose to
defer capital  expenditure  plans and extend vendor payments for additional cash
flow flexibility.

           In April 1999 the Company sold the building and land formerly used as
its corporate  headquarters  in Salt Lake City,  Utah and classified as held for
sale in the March 31, 1999  consolidated  balance  sheet.  The $1,260,000 of net
proceeds from the sale were used primarily to repay outstanding mortgages on the
property that totaled $797,000.

           In June 1999 the Company  completed a private  placement of 1,355,555
shares  of its  common  stock for  $15,000,000.  1,004,043  shares  were sold to
private  investors,   and  the  remaining  351,512  were  sold  to  a  group  of
individuals,  including  members of senior  management,  the Company's  Board of
Directors and key consultants.

shareholder of the Company,  exercised  options to purchase  1,173,334 shares of
common stock of the Company, resulting in proceeds of $5,280,003 to the Company.
The Company  granted the options to LCO in April 1996 and May 1997 in connection
with private placements of the Company's common stock.

           On  January  18,  2000,  the  Company  issued  and sold in a  private
placement  3,333,333  shares (the "New Shares") of its Common  Stock,  par value
$.001  per  share,   for  aggregate   proceeds  of  $20,000,000   (the  "Private
Placement").  The purchase price of the New Shares was $6.00 per share.  The New

outstanding, after giving effect to the Private Placement.

           The New Shares were issued to three private investors, Pequot Private
Equity Fund II,  L.P.(1,666,667  shares),  Pequot Partners Fund,  L.P.  (833,333
shares), and Pequot International Fund, Inc. (833,333 shares).

equivalents and trade accounts  receivable) of $3,292,000,  a decrease of 47.5%,

the Company funding capital  expenditures,  advertising and for  general-purpose
use. Trade accounts  receivable  increased  $339,000,  or 452.0%, to $414,000 at
December 31, 1999 from $75,000 at March 31, 1999. This increase is primarily the
result of the  introduction  of the  BriteSmile  3000 LATW system and keycard to
Associated  Centers as well as the increase in the number of Associated  Centers
in operation during the nine months ended December 31, 1999.

           Current assets  decreased by $3,840,000,  or 48.8%,  to $4,030,000 at
December 31, 1999 from $7,870,000 at March 31, 1999. This decrease was primarily
the result of a decrease in cash of $3,322,000,  described above, and a decrease
in assets held for sale of  $1,260,000,  offset in part by increases in accounts
receivable and prepaid expenses of $339,000 and $285,000, respectively.

           Long-term assets increased $10,985,000,  or 428.8%, to $13,547,000 at
December 31, 1999 from $2,562,000 at March 31, 1999. This increase was primarily
the  result  of  leasehold  improvements  at  the 8  Centers  in  operation  and
additional Centers under  construction,  the shipment of 78 BriteSmile 3000 LATW
systems and  purchase of computer and related  equipment  during the nine months
ended December 31, 1999.

           Current liabilities increased by $695,000, or 15.9%, to $5,068,000 at
December 31, 1999 from $4,373,000 at March 31, 1999. This increase was primarily
the result of an  increase  in trade  accounts  payable of  $801,000  due to the
additional operating expenses at the Company's 7 Centers. Additionally,  accrued
advertising increased $203,000 and accrued termination costs increased $219,000.
These increases were offset in part by a decrease of $798,000 in current portion
of long-term debt as a result of the repayment of  outstanding  mortgages on the
property  held  for  sale  that  served  as  the  Company's   former   corporate
headquarters in Salt Lake City, Utah.

           The Company's working capital decreased by $4,535,000,  or 129.7%, to
a deficit of  $1,038,000  at December 31, 1999 from a surplus of  $3,497,000  at
March 31, 1999, for the reasons described above.

           The Company  used net cash of  $13,076,000  in  operating  activities
during the nine months ended December 31, 1999, primarily as a result of the net
loss incurred during the period.

           The Company  used net cash of  $11,365,000  in  investing  activities
during  the  nine  months  ended  December  31,  1999,   primarily  for  capital
expenditures  relating  to  the  Company's  expansion  efforts  in  Centers  and
Associated Centers.

           The  Company   provided  net  cash  of  $21,119,000   from  financing
activities during the nine months ended December 31, 1999,  primarily due to the
successful  completion of a private  placement of 1,355,555 shares of its common
stock for  $15,000,000  in June 19999.  In  addition,  the  Company's  principal
shareholder,  LCO Investments  Limited,  exercised options to purchase 1,173,334
shares of common stock of the Company,  resulting in proceeds of  $5,280,003  to
the Company.

Inflation

           Most of the  Company's  products are  purchased in finished  form and
packaged  by  the  supplier  or  at  the  Company's  headquarters.  The  Company
anticipates usual  inflationary  increases in the price of its products and does
not intend to pass these increases along to its customers, primarily as a result
of other operating  efficiencies gained through changing the sourcing of certain
of its products. In general, the Company does not believe that inflation has had
a material effect on its results of operations in recent years.  However,  there
can be no  assurance  that  the  Company's  business  will  not be  affected  by
inflation in the future.

Seasonality

           The  Company  does not believe  that its  business  follows  seasonal
trends.  However,  because certain of the Company's Centers are located within a
mall  environment,  the  potential  for  seasonality  exists.  As a result,  the
Company's sales performance could potentially be affected.


Year 2000 Compliance

           Prior to January 1, 2000, there was widespread  concern that computer
systems could experience  problems handling dates beyond the year 1999. This was
referred  to as the "Year  2000"  issue.  It was  believed  that  some  computer
programs or computer hardware could recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900
rather  than the year 2000,  and that this could  result in a system  failure or
miscalculations causing disruption of operations.

           In  anticipation  of the Year 2000 issue,  the Company  took steps to
ensure that its  operations and systems would  properly  recognize  dates beyond
December 31, 1999.  The Company also  gathered  information  about the Year 2000
compliance of its significant  suppliers.  These efforts were made in an attempt
to prevent any disruption of the Company's business on or after January 1, 2000,
due to the Year 2000 issue.

           Since January 1, 2000, the Company has experienced no difficulties or
business disruptions resulting from the Year 2000 issue.  Similarly, to date the
Company is not aware of any  external  agent or supplier who has suffered a Year
2000 issue that will  materially  impact the  Company's  results of  operations,
liquidity, or capital resources.

           While  management  intends to continue to monitor the Year 2000 issue
and any  impact  on the  Company,  management  currently  has no plans to devote
significant time or resources to the Year 2000 issue.

           technologies,  in favor of development of new,  light-activated teeth
           whitening technologies;

o          Failure of the Company to secure additional financing to complete its
           aggressive plan for the rollout of a broad base of teeth
           whitening centers nationwide;

           process,  "Whitening  Center" and "Associated  Center"  concepts,  in
           light of competition from traditional  take-home  whitening  products
           and bleaching tray methods;

o          Lack of product diversity.

                  c.   Employee/Consultant    acknowledges   that   BriteSmile's
         Proprietary  Information  is  valuable,   special  and  unique  to  its
         business;  that it is not widely known; and that BriteSmile's  business
         depends on such Proprietary Information.
                  d. Employee/Consultant acknowledges that BriteSmile has taken,
         and continues to take,  reasonable  and necessary  steps to protect its
         Proprietary  Information and keep it confidential,  including requiring
         him/her to sign this Agreement.
                  e.       Based on the foregoing, Employee/Consultant agrees as
                           follows:
                           (i)   All rights to  Proprietary  Information are and
                  shall remain the sole property of and in control of
                  BriteSmile;
                           (ii)  Except  as  required  by  applicable  law or as
                  authorized  in writing  by  BriteSmile's  Board of  Directors,
                  he/she   will  keep   BriteSmile's   Proprietary   Information
                  confidential;

                           (iii)  Except as  required  by  applicable  law or as
                  authorized  in writing  by  BriteSmile's  Board of  Directors,
                  he/she  will not,  at any time:  (a)  reproduce  or copy;  (b)
                  disclose or  transfer;  (c) aid  encourage  or allow any other
                  person,  business or entity to gain  possession  or access to;
                  (d) use, sell, or exploit; or (e) encourage or allow any other
                  person,  business or entity to use,  sell or  exploit,  any of
                  BriteSmile's Proprietary Information;
                           (iv)  He/she  will not or  disclose  any  information
                  received  by  BriteSmile  from a third  party  for the  period
                  required by any  confidentiality  agreement,  understanding or
                  duty between BriteSmile and the relevant third party; and
                           (v) He/she will notify future employers and customers
                  of the terms of this  provision  and his/her  responsibilities
                  hereunder.
         2. Injunctive Relief.  Employee/Consultant agrees that irreparable harm
shall be  presumed  in the event of any breach of this  Agreement,  and  further
agrees that in  connection  with any such breach,  damages would be difficult if
not  impossible to ascertain,  and the faithful  observance of all terms of this
Agreement is an essential  condition to employment  or service with  BriteSmile.
Furthermore,  Employee/Consultant  agrees  that this  Agreement  is  intended to
protect the  proprietary  rights of BriteSmile in important ways, and the threat
of any misuse of the technology of BriteSmile would be extremely harmful because
of the  importance  of  that  technology.  In  light  of  these  considerations,
Employee/Consultant   agrees  that  any  court  of  competent  jurisdiction  may
immediately enjoin any breach of this Agreement, upon the request of BriteSmile,
and Employee/Consultant specifically releases BriteSmile from the requirement of
posting  any bond in  connection  with  temporary  or  interlocutory  injunctive
relief, to the extent permitted by law.
         3.       Modification of Agreement by Court.  Employee/Consultant
agrees that if any

                                      Page 3

<PAGE>



provision of this  Agreement or the  application  thereof is held  invalid,  the
invalidity  shall not affect other  provisions or  applications of the Agreement
which can be given effect without the invalid  provisions or applications and to
this  end  the  provisions  of  the  Agreement  are  declared  to be  severable.
Employee/Consultant  further  agrees  that if any court or  tribunal  refuses to
enforce the restrictive  covenants contained herein,  neither this Agreement nor
any part thereof,  shall be void, and that the particular  restriction deemed to
be unreasonable or unenforceable  shall be reduced or otherwise modified by such
court or tribunal,  but only to the extent  necessary to permit its  enforcement
and only in such court's jurisdiction.  Employee/Consultant  further agrees that
if any  provision  cannot be reduced or  modified to make it  reasonable  and/or
permit its enforcement, that provision shall then be severed from this Agreement
and the  remaining  provisions  shall  be  interpreted  in such a way as to give
maximum validity and enforceability to this Agreement.
         4.  Modification  of Agreement by Parties.  Employee/Consultant  agrees
that  this  Agreement  may  not  be  changed,  modified,  released,  discharged,
abandoned, or otherwise terminated, in whole or in part, except by an instrument
in writing, by both parties.
         5. Term of Agreement.  Employee/Consultant  acknowledges that the terms
of this Agreement shall survive termination of his/her employment.
         6.   Non-Waiver.   Employee/Consultant   agrees  that  the  failure  of
BriteSmile  to take an action under this  Agreement or the waiver of a breach of
this  Agreement  shall not affect  BriteSmile's  rights to  require  performance
hereunder or constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach.
         7. Governing Law.  Employee/Consultant  and BriteSmile  agrees that any
disputes or  controversies  of any kind  relating in any way to this  Agreement,
whether  sounding  in  tort,  contract  or  otherwise,  shall  be  construed  in
accordance with the laws of the United States and the State of California.

         8.  Forum  Selection.  Employee/Consultant  agrees  that  any  judicial
proceeding related in any way to this Agreement, shall be brought exclusively in
the state or federal courts of the State of California.
         9. Consent to Jurisdiction.  Employee/Consultant  and BriteSmile hereby
consent  to the  jurisdiction  of the state and  federal  courts of the State of
California  and waive any rights to contest the power of the courts of the State
of California to exercise personal jurisdiction over them.
         10. Existing Employment  Agreements.  Employee/Consultant  acknowledges
that the terms of any existing  employment  agreements  remain in full force and
effect to the extent they do not conflict with the terms of this  Agreement,  in
which case the terms of this Agreement shall control.
         12. Headings.  The paragraph headings in this Agreement are for
purposes of convenience  only and shall not limit or otherwise affect any of the
terms hereof.

         13. Attorneys' Fees and Costs.  BriteSmile and Employee/Consultant
agree that in the event of a dispute arising under or related in any way to this
Agreement, the non-prevailing party shall pay all costs and expenses,  including
reasonable  attorneys'  fees,  that may  arise or  accrue  from  enforcing  this
Agreement, obtaining an interpretation of any provision of this Agreement, or in
pursuing any remedy provided by applicable law whether such remedy is pursued or
interpretation is sought by mediation,  arbitration, the filing of a lawsuit, an
appeal, and/or otherwise.
