     for  dental  professionals  to be  used  in the  diagnosis,  treatment  and
     prevention of periodontal and other dental diseases.

     PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION - The consolidated financial statements include
     the accounts of Professional Dental Technologies, Inc. and its wholly-owned
     subsidiaries:  PDT Byte, Inc.,  Pro-Dentec FSC, Inc.,  Professional  Dental
     Hygienists, Inc., PDT Image, Inc., Professional Dental Manufacturing, Inc.,
     Professional Dental Marketing,  Inc.,  Professional Dental Printing,  Inc.,
     Professional  Dental  Probes,  Inc.,  (inactive at January 31,  1999),  and
     Professional  Dental  Technologies  Therapeutics,  Inc.  (collectively  the
     "Company").  All significant  intercompany  accounts and transactions  have
     been eliminated in consolidation.

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

     CASH  AND  CASH  EQUIVALENTS  - For  the  purpose  of  presentation  in the
     consolidated  statements of cash flows,  the Company  considers all cash on
     hand and on deposit with depository  institutions with maturity at the time
     acquired of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.

     INVENTORY - Inventory  is  recorded at the lower of cost  (determined  on a
     first-in, first-out basis) or market.

     PROPERTY  AND  EQUIPMENT - Property  and  equipment  is stated at cost less
     accumulated  depreciation.  Depreciation  is calculated  using  accelerated
     methods and is expensed based on the estimated useful lives of the assets.

     LONG-LIVED  ASSETS - The Company  adopted  Financial  Accounting  Standards
     Board ("FASB")  Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards  ("SFAS") No.
     121,  ACCOUNTING FOR THE IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS AND FOR LONG-LIVED
     ASSETS TO BE DISPOSED OF in the year ended  October 31,  1997.  The Company
     reviews long-lived assets and certain  identifiable  intangibles to be held
     and used  for  impairment  whenever  events  or  changes  in  circumstances
     indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be  recoverable.  The

NOTE 1:  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

     adoption  of SFAS  No.  121 had no  effect  on the  Company's  consolidated
     financial statements for the period ended January 31, 1999.

     INVESTMENTS  IN AND  ADVANCES TO  AFFILIATES  - The Company uses the equity
     method to account for investments in affiliates,  primarily joint ventures,
     in which the Company has a 20% to 50% interest.

     EARNINGS PER SHARE - The Company adopted SFAS No. 128,  Earnings per Share,
     during the year ended October 31, 1997; accordingly, both Basic and Diluted
     EPS were presented for the quarters ended January 31, 1999 and 1998.  Basic
     and diluted weighted average number of shares  outstanding for the quarters
     ended  January 31, 1999 and 1998 were  14,148,000  and  14,121,000  shares,
     respectively. Common stock equivalents have less than a 3% dilutive effect.

     REVENUE  RECOGNITION  - Revenue  is  recognized  at the time  that  product
     ownership  transfers to the customer,  principally at the time of shipment.
     Revenue  from  computer  software  maintenance  agreements  is deferred and
     amortized over the term of the related agreements.

     ACCRUED  WARRANTY  COSTS - The  Company  provides  by a  current  charge to
     income,  an amount it  estimates  will be needed to cover  future  warranty
     obligations for products sold during the year.

     CONCENTRATION  OF CREDIT RISK - Accounts  receivable arise from the sale of
     dental products to dental  professionals  located  throughout the world but
     principally  in the  United  States.  The  Company  extends  credit  to its
     customers in the normal course of business.  The Company  performs  ongoing
     credit  evaluations  of its  customers'  financial  condition and generally
     requires no collateral from its customers.  The Company's credit losses are
     subject to general economic conditions of the dental industry.

     INCOME   TAXES  -  Income  taxes  are  provided  for  the  tax  effects  of
     transactions  reported  in the  financial  statements  and consist of taxes
     currently due plus deferred taxes, if any. Deferred taxes represent the net
     tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets
     and liabilities for financial  reporting  purposes and the amounts used for
     income tax purposes.

     STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION - The Company has adopted SFAS No. 123, ACCOUNTING
     FOR STOCK-BASED  COMPENSATION  during the year ended October 31, 1997. SFAS
     No. 123  establishes  accounting and reporting  standards for companies who
     have stock-based  compensation  plans. Those plans include all arrangements
     by which employees and nonemployees receive shares of stock or other equity
     instruments of the company.  SFAS No. 123 defines a fair value based method
     of accounting  for a stock option or similar equity  instrument.  Under the
     fair value based  method,  compensation  cost is measured at the grant date
     based on the value of the award and is recognized  over the service period,
    

                                       7

NOTE 1:  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

     which is usually the vesting period.  Accounting  Principles  Board ("APB")
     Opinion  25,   requires   compensation   cost  for   stock-based   employee
     compensation  plans  to be  recognized  based  on the  difference,  if any,
     between  the quoted  market  price of the stock and the amount an  employee
     must  pay to  acquire  the  stock.  SFAS  No.  123  permits  an  entity  in
     determining  its net income to continue to apply the accounting  provisions
     of APB Opinion 25 to its stock-based employee compensation arrangements. An
     entity  that  continues  to  apply  APB  Opinion  25 must  comply  with the
     disclosure requirements of SFAS 123. The Company has elected to continue to
     apply  the  accounting  provisions  of  APB  Opinion  No.  25  and  related
     interpretations to its employee stock options.

     IMPACT OF NEW  ACCOUNTING  STANDARDS  - In  February  1997,  the  Financial
     Accounting  Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement No. 128, EARNINGS PER
     SHARE.  SFAS No. 128  establishes  standards for  computing and  presenting
     earnings per share  ("EPS").  The previous  presentation  of primary EPS is
     replaced with a presentation  of basic EPS. Dual  presentation of basic and
     diluted EPS is required on the face of the income statements,  as well as a
     reconciliation   of  the  numerator  and   denominator  of  the  basic  EPS
     computation   to  the  numerator  and   denominator   of  the  diluted  EPS
     computation. Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income
     available to common stockholders by the  weighted-average  number of common
     shares  outstanding  for the period.  Diluted EPS is computed  similarly to
     fully diluted EPS pursuant to Accounting  Principles  Board Opinion No. 15.
     The Company adopted SFAS No. 128 for the year ended October 31, 1998.

     In June 1997, the FASB issued  Statement No. 130,  REPORTING  COMPREHENSIVE
     INCOME.  SFAS 130  establishes  standards  for  reporting  and  display  of
     comprehensive income and its components.  SFAS requires that all items that
     are required to be recognized under  accounting  standards as components of
     comprehensive income be reported in a financial statement that is displayed
     with the same prominence as other financial statements. The Company will be
     required to classify items of other comprehensive income by their nature in
     a  financial  statement  and  display  the  accumulated  balance  of  other
     comprehensive  income  separately  from  retained  earnings and  additional
     paid-in capital in the  stockholders'  equity section of the balance sheet.
     Also in June 1997,  the FASB issued  Statement No. 131,  DISCLOSURES  ABOUT
     SEGMENTS OF AN ENTERPRISE AND RELATED INFORMATION,  establishing  standards
     for the way public  enterprises report information about operating segments
     in interim  financial  reports issued to shareholders.  It also establishes
     standards for related  disclosures about products and services,  geographic
     areas, and major customers. SFAS 130 and 131 are effective for fiscal years
     beginning  after  December  15,  1997,  with  reclassification  of  earlier
     periods.  The  adoption  of  SFAS  130 and  131 is not  expected  to have a
     material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

     In February 1998, the FASB issued Statement No. 132, EMPLOYERS' DISCLOSURES
     ABOUT  PENSIONS  AND OTHER  POSTRETIREMENT  BENEFITS,  an amendment of FASB
     Statements No. 87, 88 and 106. The Statement revises employers' disclosures


                                       8
<PAGE>

     about pensions and other  postretirement  benefits.  It does not change the
     measurement or recognition of those plans. It  standardizes  the disclosure
     requirements for pensions and other  postretirement  benefits to the extent
     practicable,  requires  additional  information  on changes in the  benefit
     obligations and fair values of plan assets that will  facilitate  financial
     analysis,  and eliminates certain  disclosures that are no longer as useful
     as they were when FASB  Statements  No. 87, 88,  and 106 were  issued.  The
     Statement is effective for fiscal years  beginning after December 15, 1997.
     The adoption of SFAS 132 is not  expected to have a material  effect on the
     Company's consolidated financial statements.

     In June 1998, the FASB issued Statement No. 133,  ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE
     INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES.  This Statement establishes  accounting
     and  reporting  standards for  derivative  instruments,  including  certain
     derivative  instruments embedded in other contracts  (collectively referred
     to as derivatives),  and for hedging activities. It requires that an entity
     recognize all  derivatives  as either assets or  liabilities in the balance
     sheet and measure  those  instruments  at fair  value.  This  statement  is
     effective for fiscal years  beginning  after June 15, 1999. The adoption of
     SFAS No. 133 is not  expected  to have a material  effect on the  Company's
     consolidated financial statements.

     RECLASSIFICATIONS  - Certain  reclassifications  have been made to the 1998
     financial  statements  in order to conform  with 1999  financial  statement
     presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on stockholders' equity
     or net income, as previously reported.

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

           FOR THE THREE MONTH PERIODS ENDED JANUARY 31, 1999 AND 1998
           -----------------------------------------------------------

SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT UNDER THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995

     The  Private  Securities  Litigation  Reform  Act of 1995  provides a "safe
     harbor" for forward-looking  statements.  Certain  information  included in
     this Report and other such Company  filings  (collectively,  "SEC filings")
     under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,  and the Securities  Exchange
     Act of 1934, as amended (as well as information  communicated  orally or in
     writing  between  the dates of such SEC  filings)  contains  or may contain
     information  that is  forward  looking.  Such  forward-looking  information
     involves important risks and uncertainties that could significantly  affect
     expected   results.   The  Company   cautions   investors   that  any  such
     forward-looking statements made by the Company are not guarantees of future
     performance and that actual results may differ materially from those in the
     forward-looking  statements. The factors that could cause actual results to
     differ materially from estimates contained in the Company's forward-looking
     statements  were detailed in the Company's  1998 Form 10-KSB filed with the
     Securities and Exchange Commission.

          RESULTS OF  OPERATIONS.  For the three month period ended  January 31,
     1999 and 1998,  net sales were $6.5  million.  The  Company's  total  sales
     revenue in each period has principally been  attributable to the Rota-dent.


                                       9
<PAGE>

     Sales of the Rota-dent,  including accessories and foreign sales, were $4.3
     million in each period. Other clinical products, (the ultrasonic scaler and
     pharmaceutical  product  lines)  generated  revenues of $2.0 million in the
     first  quarter of 1999  compared  to $1.9  million in the first  quarter of
     1998.  The  balance  of  revenue  in the first  quarter  of both  years was
     attributable  to  the  sale  of  printed   literature,   seminar  fees  and
     computer-related products, which decreased slightly in the 1999 period.

          The cost of goods sold for the three  months  ended  January 31, 1999,
     was $2.8  million  compared to $2.7  million in the first  quarter of 1998.
     This is primarily  attributable to increased  material and labor content in
     the Rota-dent product,  resulting from the decision,  made in mid-1998,  to
     ship four  necks  with  each  instrument  sold,  rather  than  two,  as had
     previously  been the  case.  Cost  reduction  efforts  now in  process  are
     expected to reduce the cost per  Rota-dent  unit to its  previous  level by
     year-end.  The cost of goods sold for the pharmaceutical  product line also
     increased  in the 1999  quarter  as a result of  purchasing  a product  for
     resale that had previously been  manufactured  by the Company.  The Company
     plans to re-commence manufacturing this product by year-end.

          Operating  expense was essentially  flat at $3.4 million for the first
     three months of 1999,  compared to $3.5  million in the 1998 period.  Other
     income  and  expense,  consisting  primarily  of  the  profit/loss  of  the
     non-consolidated   affiliate  (the  PerfectByte  Limited  Partnership)  and
     interest income/expense, was reduced in the 1999 first quarter, as a result
     of lower interest expense in the 1999 period.

          As a result of the changes noted above, net income for the three month
     period ended January 31, 1999 was $135,000 compared to $156,000 in the 1998
     period.

          CAPITAL  RESOURCES  AND  LIQUIDITY.  On January 31, 1999 the Company's
     total assets were $10.4  million,  compared to $11.2 million at October 31,
     1998.  The decrease  was  primarily  attributable  to decreases in cash and
     inventory. Total liabilities were $4.5 million, compared to $5.4 million at
     October 31,  1998.  This is  primarily  due to decreases in the draw on the
     credit line used to finance the increases in receivables  and inventory and
     in trade payables.  Stockholders'  equity was $6.0 million,  an increase of
     $0.1 million from the October 31, 1998 total, the result of earnings during
     the  period.  During the three  months  ended  January 31,  1999,  net cash
     provided by operations was $532,000 compared to a net cash used of $299,000
     in the 1998 period.  The positive  cash from  operations in the 1999 period
     largely  resulted  from cash provided by a successful  inventory  reduction
     initiative.

          The Company has established  reserves for potential warranty claims on
     its  primary  products,  and such  claims  have  historically  been  within
     management's expectation.

          The Company  defines  liquidity  as the  ability to generate  adequate
     amounts of cash to meet the its needs. The Company has historically  relied
     on cash provided from  operations to meet its working  capital  needs,  and
     anticipates  this will  continue  in the near term.  However,  the  Company
     currently  has a revolving  line of credit with NBD Bank under which it can
     draw up to $3 million, subject to the availability of collateral. This line
     of credit is primarily  secured by receivables  and  inventory,  and may be
     used to finance the additional working capital requirements of the Company.
     The Company also has other  sources of credit with which it can finance the


                                       10
<PAGE>

     purchase  of fixed  assets,  and  anticipates  that  these or other  credit
     sources will be utilized for most future fixed asset additions. The Company
     believes  these sources of credit  combined with cash flow from  operations
     will be sufficient to meet its foreseeable  cash  requirements.  

          YEAR 2000.  Certain  software and hardware systems are time sensitive.
     Older time sensitive  systems often use a two digit dating convention ("00"
     rather than "2000") that could result in system  failure and  disruption of
     operations as the Year 2000  approaches.  The Year 2000 problem will impact
     the  Company,  its  suppliers,  customers,  and other  third  parties  that
     interface  with the  Company  to the  extent  that  they are not Year  2000
     compliant.

          With regard to its internal Year 2000 program, the Company has adopted
     a five-phase conversion plan. In completing the first two phases, awareness
     and assessment,  the Company has identified  numerous  project  initiatives
     throughout its business  units and has begun the third phase,  the purchase
     and  installation  of new  computer  equipment  and  upgrading  of software
     systems,  in most areas.  A steering team comprised of members from the key
     functional areas - accounting,  finance, legal,  manufacturing systems, and
     information  systems - has been  established  to monitor  and  oversee  the
     progress of each  project.  The Company  believes that it will complete the
     conversion  process by mid-fiscal year 1999 and have  contingency  plans in
     place for all mission-critical functions at that time.

          The impact of Year 2000 issues on the Company  will depend not only on
     corrective  actions  that the Company  takes,  but also on the way in which
     Year 2000 issues are addressed by governmental agencies, business and other
     third parties that provide  goods,  services or data to, or receive  goods,
     services  or data  from,  the  Company,  or whose  financial  condition  or
     operational  capability  is  important  to  the  Company.  To  reduce  this
     exposure,  the Company has an ongoing process of identifying and contacting
     mission-critical third party vendors and other significant third parties to
     determine  their  Year 2000  plans and target  dates.  Notwithstanding  the
     Company's   efforts,   there  can  be  no   assurance   that  the  Company,
     mission-critical  third party vendors,  or other  significant third parties
     will adequately address their Year 2000 issues.

          Upon review of the software  developed and  distributed by the Company
     through its  wholly-owned  subsidiary,  PDT Computers,  it appears that the
     software is Year 2000  compliant.  The Company is advising and working with
     customers to resolve their Year 2000 problems;  however, it believes it has
     no material  exposure to  contingencies  related to the Year 2000 issue for
     the software products it has sold.

          The total cost of the  modifications and upgrades to date has not been
     material.  The estimated  probable cost to complete the conversion is $0.05
     million,  and the Company anticipates that it will spend no more than $0.08
     million.  Estimates  of Year  2000  related  costs  are  based on  numerous
     assumptions;  there is no certainty that  estimates  will be achieved,  and
     actual costs could be materially greater than anticipated.

          Although no assurances  can be given as to the  Company's  compliance,
     particularly  as it relates to third  parties,  based upon the  progress to
     date, the Company does not expect that  modifications  will have a material


                                       11
<PAGE>

     adverse  effect  on  the  Company's   financial   position  or  results  of
     operations.  Accordingly,  the Company  believes  that the most  reasonably
     likely  worst case Year 2000  scenario  would not have a  material  adverse
     effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
