THERMOLASE CORPORATION
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
1. General
The interim consolidated financial statements presented have been prepared
by ThermoLase Corporation (the Company) without audit and, in the opinion of
management, reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a
fair statement of the financial position at January 1, 2000, and the results of
operations and cash flows for the three-month periods ended January 1, 2000, and
January 2, 1999. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform
to the presentation in the current financial statements. Interim results are not
necessarily indicative of results for a full year.
The consolidated balance sheet presented as of October 2, 1999, has been
derived from the consolidated financial statements that have been audited by the
Company's independent public accountants. The consolidated financial statements
and notes are presented as permitted by Form 10-Q and do not contain certain
information included in the annual financial statements and notes of the
Company. The consolidated financial statements and notes included herein should
be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the fiscal year ended October 2, 1999,
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
2. Loss per Share
Basic loss per share has been computed by dividing the net loss by the
weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss
per share does not differ from basic loss per share because the effect of
assuming the conversion of convertible debentures and the elimination of the
related interest expense, the exercise of stock options, and the effect of
redeemable common stock would be antidilutive, due to the Company's net loss in
the periods presented. Options to purchase 1,602,000 and 2,164,000 shares of
common stock were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share for
the first quarter of fiscal 2000 and 1999, respectively, due to the Company's
net loss position in each period. In addition, the computation of diluted loss
per share for each period excludes the effect of assuming the conversion of the
Company's $115,000,000 principal amount of 4 3/8% subordinated convertible
debentures, convertible at $17.385 per share, due to the Company's net loss
position.
3. Related-party Transactions
During the first quarter of fiscal 2000 and 1999, the Company purchased
laser systems, components, and related services from Trex Medical Corporation, a
majority-owned subsidiary of ThermoTrex Corporation (the Company's parent), at
an aggregate cost of $717,000 and $633,000, respectively.

5. Restructuring and Unusual Costs
During fiscal 1999 and 1998, the Company recorded restructuring and
unusual costs, primarily in connection with the Company's decision to exit the
spa business and, to a lesser extent, to terminate certain obligations related
to the hair-removal business. The restructuring and unusual costs were primarily
for the sale and closure of the Company's spas; the write-off of leasehold
improvements and equipment; costs for ongoing lease obligations, net of assumed
sublease income; and payments to licensees and joint venture partners to sever
relationships and terminate arrangements. The fiscal 1999 restructuring costs
included severance for 26 employees across all functions, 23 of whom were
terminated during fiscal 1999. No additional employees were terminated during
the first quarter of fiscal 2000.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2000, in connection with the Company's
proposed reorganization (Note 6), the Company incurred and recorded costs of
$286,000, primarily for investment banker and legal fees.

Of the total restructuring costs accrued as of January 1, 2000, the
Company expects to pay $8.3 million in calendar 2000 and $8.8 million in
calendar 2001 and thereafter, through the expiration of various leases in fiscal
2014. The timing of these cash payments will be affected by the terms of any
subleases or settlement arrangements with landlords.
6. Proposed Reorganization
Thermo Electron Corporation has announced a proposed reorganization
involving certain of Thermo Electron's subsidiaries, including the Company.
Under this plan, the Company would be merged into Thermo Electron. As a result,
the Company would become a wholly owned subsidiary of Thermo Electron. The
public shareholders of the Company would receive common stock in Thermo Electron
in exchange for their shares. In December 1999, the boards of directors of the
Company and Thermo Electron approved a definitive agreement and plan of merger
pursuant to which Thermo Electron would acquire all of the outstanding shares of
Company common stock held by shareholders other than Thermo Electron and
ThermoTrex in exchange for shares of Thermo Electron's common stock. The
Company's board of directors approved the merger agreement based on a
recommendation of its special committee, which was charged with representing the
interests of the Company's public shareholders. Under the agreement, the number
of shares of Thermo Electron common stock to be issued to the Company's
shareholders will be determined using an exchange ratio of between 0.132 and
0.198, depending on the price of Thermo Electron's common stock. The exchange of
common stock will be a taxable transaction to the shareholders.
In addition, under the agreement, units of the Company (currently
consisting of one share of Company common stock coupled with the right to have
the Company redeem that share for $20.25 in April 2001) would be modified so
that, following the merger, each unit would consist of a fractional share of
Thermo Electron common stock, which would be redeemable in April 2001 for
$20.25.
This proposal is subject to certain conditions including the filing with
and review by the Securities and Exchange Commission of certain required filings
regarding the proposed transaction and listing on the New York Stock Exchange of
the shares of Thermo Electron common stock to be issued in connection with the
merger.

<PAGE>
6. Proposed Reorganization (continued)
In October 1999, the American Stock Exchange (the Exchange) notified the
Company that if the Company did not have a definitive agreement to merge with
Thermo Electron by December 15, 1999, the Exchange would request a meeting to
discuss its intent to proceed with delisting the Company's shares from the
Exchange due to a possible failure to meet listing requirements. Holders of the
Company's subordinated convertible debentures would be entitled to have their
debentures redeemed by the Company if the Company's shares are neither listed
for trading on a United States national securities exchange nor approved for
trading on an established automated over-the-counter trading market in the
United States. As a result of the agreement to merge with Thermo Electron, the
Company expects that its shares will continue to be listed through the
completion of the merger transaction. Accordingly, the Company has classified
the debentures as long-term in the accompanying balance sheet.
Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
Forward-looking statements, within the meaning of Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, are made throughout this Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. For
this purpose, any statements contained herein that are not statements of
historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting
the foregoing, the words "believes," "anticipates," "plans," "expects," "seeks,"
"estimates," and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking
statements. There are a number of important factors that could cause the results
of the Company to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking
statements, including those detailed under the heading "Forward-looking
Statements" in Exhibit 13 to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the
fiscal year ended October 2, 1999, filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
Overview
The Company's businesses operate in two segments: Hair-removal and Related
Activities (Hair Removal) and Health and Beauty Products. The Company's Hair
Removal segment has developed a laser-based system called SoftLight(R) for the
removal of unwanted hair. The SoftLight system uses a low-energy, dermatology
laser in combination with a lotion that absorbs the laser's energy to disable
hair follicles. In April 1995, the Company received clearance from the U.S. Food
and Drug Administration (FDA) to commercially market hair-removal services using
the SoftLight system, and in May 1998, the Company received clearance from the
FDA to market its SoftLight Laser Peel for skin resurfacing. To provide the
laser-based removal and skin-resurfacing services, the Company developed a
network of 14 high-end day spas, originally called Spa Thira.
In June 1996, the Company commenced a program to license to physicians and
others the right to perform the Company's patented SoftLight hair-removal and
skin-resurfacing procedures. Through these arrangements, the Company received a
per procedure or minimum royalty and/or flat periodic fee. The Company also
entered into joint venture and other licensing agreements to bring the
technology to international markets. In fiscal 1999, the Company began offering
licensees the opportunity to purchase or lease SoftLight lasers in lieu of
paying ongoing license fees.
In connection with its June 1998 acquisition of The Greenhouse Spa, Inc.,
a full-service, luxury, destination spa, the Company converted 11 of its
domestic Spa Thiras to Greenhouse day spas. In addition to hair-removal and
skin-resurfacing services, these facilities offered more traditional day-spa
services, such as massages and facials. Following conversion of the facilities
to Greenhouse day spas, significant losses continued and, during fiscal 1998,
the Company initiated certain restructuring actions, including the announced
closure of three of its domestic day spas and the termination of a joint venture
that operated its spa in France. The Company closed two of the domestic day spas
in November 1998 and the third spa, as well as two additional spas, were closed
in the third quarter of fiscal 1999. In May 1999, the Company announced
additional plans to undertake a broad-scale restructuring of its business. As
part of the restructuring plan, the Company decided to exit the spa business
and, as a result, sold The Greenhouse Spa, Inc., located in Arlington, Texas,
and the remaining nine Greenhouse day spas. In addition, the Company has
terminated
9
<PAGE>
Overview (continued)
the physician-licensing program and has terminated or renegotiated the terms of
its international joint venture arrangements as well as discontinued certain
branded product lines at the Company's Creative Beauty Innovations, Inc. (CBI)
subsidiary. The Company expects to complete its restructuring plan by the middle
of calendar 2000.
The Company's CBI subsidiary represents the Health and Beauty Products
segment, which manufactures and markets skin-care, bath, and body products and
markets dietary supplements. This business represents the Company's principal
operations following the sale of the spas and the termination of various
licensing agreements.
Results of Operations
First Quarter Fiscal 2000 Compared With First Quarter Fiscal 1999
Revenues were $4.9 million and $9.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal
2000 and 1999, respectively. The Company earned product revenues of $4.9 million
in fiscal 2000, compared with $6.8 million in fiscal 1999. Product revenues
include sales in the Health and Beauty Products segment, and in the fiscal 1999
period, lasers sold in international and domestic markets by the Company's Hair
Removal segment and beauty product sales at the Company's spas. Product revenues
in the Health and Beauty Products segment decreased to $4.9 million in the first
quarter of fiscal 2000 from $6.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1999,
primarily due to the discontinuation of certain branded product lines. Product
revenues in the Hair Removal segment decreased to $16,000 in fiscal 2000 from
$0.7 million in fiscal 1999, primarily due to a decrease in laser sales.
Service revenues in the Hair Removal segment decreased to $19,000 in the
first quarter of fiscal 2000 from $2.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal
1999. This decrease is due to a $2.2 million decrease in revenues due to the
sale and closure of the Company's Greenhouse day spas and, to a lesser extent,
the termination of its physician-licensing program and certain international
licensing arrangements (Note 5). Service revenues for the fiscal 2000 period
represent licensing fees from the remaining physician-licensing agreements,
which have been substantially terminated as of January 1, 2000.
The gross profit margin was $0.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal
2000, compared with a negative gross profit margin of $1.8 million in the first
quarter of fiscal 1999. This increase in gross profit was primarily due to the
sale of the spa business, offset in part by a decrease in gross profit margin in
the Health and Beauty Products segment due to changes in product mix, as well as
the discontinuation of certain branded product lines, which had higher gross
margins. The gross profit margin in the Health and Beauty Products segment was
18% in the first quarter of fiscal 2000 compared with 26% in the first quarter
of fiscal 1999.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased to $1.7 million in
the first quarter of fiscal 2000 from $4.9 million in fiscal 1999, primarily due
to $1.9 million of lower costs following the sale of the spa business and the
termination of various licensing agreements and, to a lesser extent, a decrease
in advertising costs of $0.7 million due to the discontinuation of certain
branded product lines as well as reductions in personnel in the Health and
Beauty Products segment.
Research and development expenses decreased to $0.1 million in the first
quarter of fiscal 2000 from $0.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1999,
primarily due to the Company's decision to substantially exit the SoftLight
business.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2000, the Company recorded costs of
$0.3 million in connection with its proposed reorganization (Note 5).
10
<PAGE>
First Quarter Fiscal 2000 Compared With First Quarter Fiscal 1999 (continued)
Interest income decreased to $0.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal
2000 from $0.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1999, primarily due to
lower average invested balances. Interest expense was unchanged at $1.3 million
in both periods.
Equity in losses of joint ventures in the fiscal 1999 period represents
the Company's proportionate share of losses from its international joint
ventures, which have been substantially terminated with the exception of the
Company's continued ownership of a 46% equity interest in ThermoLase England
LLC, which continues to pursue the SoftLight business in the United Kingdom,
Ireland, Spain, and South Africa.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Consolidated working capital was $2.9 million at January 1, 2000, compared
with $5.2 million at October 2, 1999. Included in working capital are cash, cash
equivalents, and advance to affiliate of $14.4 million at January 1, 2000,
compared with $16.7 million at October 2, 1999. Operating activities used $2.4
million of cash during the first quarter of fiscal 2000. Cash was used primarily
to fund the Company's loss, excluding noncash items, as well as a decrease in
other current liabilities, which used $1.3 million of cash, primarily due to
payments for accrued restructuring costs. Of the total restructuring costs
accrued as of January 1, 2000, the Company expects to pay $8.3 million in
calendar 2000 and $8.8 million in calendar 2001 and thereafter, through the
expiration of various leases in fiscal 2014. The timing of these cash payments
will be affected by the terms of any subleases or settlement arrangements with
landlords.
Excluding advance to affiliate activity, the Company's primary investing
activity during the first quarter of fiscal 2000 consisted of $0.1 million for
purchases of property and equipment.
The Company has an obligation to pay $40.5 million, in the aggregate, to
the holders of redemption rights if all of the holders thereof exercise their
redemption rights in April 2001 when such rights become exercisable. The Company
does not have sufficient funds to satisfy these obligations and the exercise of
the redemption rights would have a material adverse effect on the Company's
liquidity and financial position. Thermo Electron has guaranteed such obligation
(Note 6). In addition, Thermo Electron has expressed its willingness to lend the
Company up to $10.0 million for short-term liquidity should the need arise.
Thermo Electron has announced a proposed reorganization involving certain
of Thermo Electron's subsidiaries, including the Company. Under this plan, the
Company would be merged into Thermo Electron. As a result, the Company would
become a wholly owned subsidiary of Thermo Electron (Note 6).
In October 1999, the American Stock Exchange (the Exchange) notified the
Company that if the Company did not have a definitive agreement to merge with
Thermo Electron by December 15, 1999, the Exchange would request a meeting to
discuss its intent to proceed with delisting the Company's shares from the
Exchange due to a possible failure to meet listing requirements. Holders of the
Company's subordinated convertible debentures would be entitled to have their
debentures redeemed by the Company if the Company's shares are neither listed
for trading on a United States national securities exchange nor approved for
trading on an established automated over-the-counter trading market in the
United States. As a result of the agreement to merge with Thermo Electron, the
Company expects that its shares will continue to be listed through the
completion of the merger transaction. Accordingly, the Company has classified
the debentures as long-term in the accompanying balance sheet.

<PAGE>
Year 2000
As of the date of this report, the Company has completed its year 2000
initiatives which included: (i) testing and upgrading significant information
technology systems and facilities; (ii) assessing the year 2000 readiness of its
key suppliers, vendors, and customers; and (iii) developing contingency plans.
As a result of completing these initiatives, the Company believes that all
of its material information technology systems and critical non-information
technology systems are year 2000 compliant. In addition, the Company is not
aware of any significant supplier or vendor that has experienced material
disruption due to year 2000 issues. The Company has also developed a contingency
plan to allow its primary business operations to continue despite disruptions
due to year 2000 problems, if any, that might yet arise in the future. The costs
incurred to date by the Company in connection with the year 2000 issue have not
been material.
While the Company to date has been successful in minimizing negative
consequences arising from year 2000 issues, there can be no assurance that in
the future the Company's business operations or financial condition may not be
impacted by year 2000 problems, such as increased warranty claims, vendor and
supplier disruptions, or litigation relating to year 2000 issues.
Item 3 - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Company's exposure to market risk from changes in interest rates and
equity prices has not changed materially from its exposure at fiscal year-end
1999.
