                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1:  BASIS OF REPORTING
---------------------------

The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements of SafeGuard Health
Enterprises, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") for the quarter ended June
30, 1999, have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles applicable to interim periods, and reflect all adjustments which are,
in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of results for
the interim periods. The statements have been prepared in accordance with the
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, but omit certain
information and footnote disclosures necessary to present the statements in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. This information
should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and
Notes, including Significant Accounting Policies, contained in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998. Management
believes that the disclosures herein are adequate to make the information
presented not misleading. As described in Note 6 herein, the operating results
for the quarter ended June 30, 1998 have been reclassified to reflect the effect
of the discontinued operation of the general dental practices and the
orthodontic practices.

NOTE 2:  STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY AND EARNINGS PER SHARE
----------------------------------------------------

Since October 1986, the Company's Board of Directors has, at various times,
authorized the repurchase of up to 4,510,888 shares of its common stock through
open market or private transactions. As of June 30, 1999, a total of 3,819,088
shares had been acquired. All shares acquired prior to August 24, 1987, have
been retired as required by California law. All shares acquired after the August
24, 1987 reincorporation in Delaware are being held as treasury stock at an
average cost of $5.54 per share.

Earnings per share have been restated to conform with the provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share". Basic
earnings per share excludes the effect of all potentially dilutive securities.
Diluted earnings per share includes the effect of all potentially dilutive
common securities. For the quarters ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 the current
presentation of diluted earnings per share is identical to the Company's former
presentation of primary earnings per share.

NOTE 3:  RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
-----------------------------------------

In February 1997, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 128 ("FAS 128"), Earnings Per Share, which becomes effective for fiscal
years ending after December 15, 1997. FAS 128 specifies the computation,
presentation and disclosure requirements for earnings per share, and its
objective is to simplify the computation of earnings per share, and to make the
U.S. standard for computing earnings per share more compatible with the
standards of other countries. The statement requires that all prior period
earnings per share data presented shall be restated. The Company adopted FAS 128
in fiscal year 1997 as required, and for the quarters ended June 30, 1999 and
1998, the current presentation of diluted earnings per share is identical to the
Company's former presentation of primary earnings per share.

In June 1997, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130
("FAS 130"), Reporting Comprehensive Income, which becomes effective for fiscal
years ending after December 15, 1997. FAS 130 requires that all components of
comprehensive income be displayed with the same prominence as other financial
statements. The Company adopted FAS 130 in fiscal year 1998 as required. The
reconciliation of net income to comprehensive income is as follows:

In June 1997, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
131 ("FAS 131"), Disclosure About Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information, which becomes effective for fiscal years ending after December 15,
1997. FAS 131 requires that future financial statements contain disclosures
about products and services, geographic areas and major customers related to its
reportable operating segments. The Company anticipates the adoption of FAS 131
will not have a significant effect on the Company's financial position or
results of operations.

In June 1998, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 133
("FAS 133"), Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, which
becomes effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. FAS 133
requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or
liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those instruments
at fair value. The Company does not expect the adoption of FAS 133 to have a
significant impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

NOTE 4:  DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
--------------------------------

On February 26, 1998, the Company announced the discontinuance of its
orthodontic practices. On April 1, 1998, the Company completed the sale of its
orthodontic practices to Pacific Coast Dental, Inc./Associated Dental Services,
Inc., and affiliated dentists. The practices were sold for $15 million in 8.5%
long-term notes. The transaction included the sale of all assets and associated
liabilities of the orthodontic practices and a long-term commitment from the
purchaser to continue to provide orthodontic services to members of a subsidiary
of the Company. The assets of the orthodontic practices sold consist of accounts
receivable, supply inventory and dental equipment. The Company recorded a loss
of $96,000 net of $38,000 in taxes on the sale of the discontinued orthodontic
practices in the second quarter 1998.

In the fourth quarter of 1998 and as part of an ongoing review process, the
Company ascertained that some of the promissory notes granted to the Company by
the purchasers of certain general and orthodontic practices were not performing
at currently stated levels and such purchasers were unable to service such
promissory notes pursuant to the terms and conditions thereof. As a result, the
Company reduced the value of the promissory notes on its books so that they
reflect management's then current estimate of their market value. Rather than
the Company exercising its right to foreclose on the promissory notes, the
Company entered into a Default Forbearance Agreement and an Irrevocable Power of
Attorney with the purchasers, which will enable the Company to resell either the
assets or the promissory notes relating to the practices.

As part of management's continuing evaluation of the promissory notes given to
the Company in connection with the sale of those dental practices, the Company
has ascertained that a further reduction in value of the promissory notes is
prudent and appropriate and as such has recorded an additional asset impairment
charge of $7.6 million in connection therewith. The Forbearance Agreement and
Irrevocable Power of Attorney referred to above given to the Company by the
purchaser of certain of these general dental and orthodontic practices expires
on August 12, 1999. Absent an extension of such agreements, the Company will be
unhindered in taking any action upon the assets to protect its interest. The
Company intends to exercise any and all prudent and appropriate actions
depending upon the circumstances, which may include the foreclosure on some or
all of the assets, which are subject to the purchase agreements referred to
above and the subsequent sale of such assets to an unaffiliated third party.

In connection therewith, the Company has entered into a Letter of Intent to sell
such assets to an unaffiliated third party. The agreement to sell such dental
and orthodontic assets is subject to the execution of definitive agreements, the
satisfaction of due diligence, certain standard closing conditions and
appropriate regulatory approvals. Although there is a Letter of Intent to sell
such assets in effect, no assurance can be given that the parties will execute
definitive and binding agreements with respect to the sale of such assets.

NOTE 5:  CREDIT AGREEMENTS
--------------------------

On September 30, 1997, the Company completed a private placement of $32.5
million in long-term debt consisting of eight-year notes through John Hancock
Mutual Life Insurance Company ("Hancock"). The Company used the proceeds to
repay all of its long-term indebtedness and for general corporate purposes. The
senior notes (the "Notes") are unsecured and are due September 30, 2005, with a
principal payment of $6.5 million due on September 30, of each year starting in
2001. The interest rate for the loan is fixed at 7.91 percent. On January 29,
1998, the Company entered into a $8,000,000 revolving working capital credit
facility with Silicon Valley Bank (the "Bank"), all of which is currently being
utilized by the Company. The loan had a maturity date of January 28, 1999, and
is currently due and payable. The interest rate for the facility, as amended,
was established at the Bank's Prime rate, plus 1.5 percent or at the Company's
option, LIBOR plus 2.25 percent. The loan is secured by a first priority
security interest in all the personal property of the Company, including
accounts receivable, fixed assets and intangibles and a negative pledge on the
stock of the Company's subsidiaries and on the real property owned by the
Company. In connection with the Bank and Hancock loan, the Company is subject to
certain financial and operational debt covenants.

As a result of underperforming notes related to the sale of the dental offices
that were previously sold and discontinued, a reduction in the value of the
Company's former headquarters building in Anaheim, California, which the Company
sold in June 1999, severance payments to a number of former employees who left
the Company in the fourth quarter of 1998 as a result of the Company's
continuing efforts to streamline its operations, and expenses for a reduction in
its account receivable balances, which may be uncollectible, as ascertained
after the Company completed its systems conversion in October 1998, as of the
end of the fourth quarter of 1998, the Company was not in compliance with the
Bank and Hancock loan covenant requirements.

As a result of these conditions, the Company executed definitive agreements with
Hancock to restructure the debt owed by the Company, which was referenced,
disclosed and filed as an exhibit to the Company's Report on Form 8-K dated June
4, 1999. The Notes have been modified to provide for an interest rate increase
from 7.91% to 9.91% from the date that the Company and Hancock executed the
definitive documents. Thereafter, the interest rate will decrease to 8.91%
and then to 7.91% after the Company has satisfied certain conditions. The
Company also became responsible for all reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys' fees
and costs, and consultant's fee incurred by Hancock after January 1, 1999. In
consideration of this agreement, Hancock has waived all existing defaults or
events of defaults through May 28, 1999. The sale of certain assets of the
Company will also not be considered an event of default under the agreement with
Hancock so long as the proceeds are used to repay Hancock in accordance with the
amendments to the agreement.

Various technical terms, covenants and provisions of the agreement relating to
consolidated net worth, interest expense coverage and limitation on consolidated
total debt were amended. New provisions include a requirement for the Company to
provide Hancock of any notice of intent to audit received by the Company from
any regulatory agency, copies of correspondence from any regulatory agency and
the Company's response thereto. In addition, the Company is not to declare
dividends or other distributions, and not incur any liens on the Company's
subsidiary's stock. The Company is also required to provide consolidated
financial reports and cash flows at regular intervals. The Company is also
required to pay from the proceeds of certain sales of assets owned by the
Company, specified amounts to Hancock on a prorata basis, including the sale of
the Company's former headquarters building (the "Building"), and certain
promissory notes owned by the Company.

The agreement also provides that prior to December 31, 1999, the Company may
satisfy all of the financial obligations due to Hancock without prepayment
penalty. The Company also issued to Hancock non-transferable and cancelable
warrants representing the right to acquire 382,000 shares of the Company's
common stock, which are exercisable at any time after January 1, 2000, and prior
to December 31, 2003, at a price per share of $4.54. However, the warrants will
be automatically canceled on the date the Company's debt to Hancock is satisfied
in full by December 31, 1999. Certain "piggyback" and demand registration rights
with respect to the warrants have been granted to Hancock.

Additional principal and collateral payments are required under the agreement,
including payment of a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Building,
and with all appropriate regulatory approval, the payment of funds derived from
the sale of certain promissory notes granted to the dental office subsidiary of
the Company in connection with the sale of the general dental and orthodontic
practices previously owned by the Company, and a portion of the Company's 1998
federal tax refund.

The Company has also executed definitive documents with the Bank to extend the
maturity date of the existing obligation to January 29, 2000, which was
referenced, disclosed and filed as an exhibit to the Company's Report on Form
8-K dated June 4, 1999. The interest rate which shall be paid by the Company to
the Bank from and after the closing date of May 28, 1999 will be equal to the
prime interest rate, plus 4%. Thereafter, the rate shall be prime plus 3% and
then the rate shall be prime plus 1.5% thereafter until paid in full upon the
Company satisfying certain conditions. The Company is also required to make
certain principal payment reductions during specified periods and in specified
amounts, consisting of the payment of proceeds received from the sale of certain
promissory notes owned by the Company, and certain promissory notes, after
appropriate regulatory approval is received, owned by a subsidiary of the
Company relating to previously sold general dental and orthodontic dental
practices, the payment of a portion of the 1998 federal tax refund, and a
portion of the net cash proceeds of the sale of Building. The Company also
granted to Hancock and the Bank a first priority deed of trust on the Building,
delivery of any promissory notes given to the Company in connection with the
sale of the Building, and certain other promissory notes owned by the Company,
to a collateral agent for the benefit of Hancock and the Bank.

The agreement also provides that prior to the extended maturity date, the
Company may repay the Bank in full without penalty. The Company is obligated to
pay reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys' fees and costs incurred by the Bank
through the closing date, and certain consulting fees for consultants required
to be hired by the Company.

In consideration of the agreement, the Bank waived all existing defaults and has
extended the payment obligation of outstanding principal and interest due to the
Bank. Additionally, the Company will provide the Bank with monthly consolidated
financial statements and covenants compliance certificates, all Securities and
Exchange Commissions filings, and other financial documents as they may
reasonably request, and the same notice requirements as described above. Certain
standard conditions were required as a condition of closing.

1999 Versus 1998
----------------

Health care revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 1999 were $25,050, or a 2.5%
increase over the corresponding period a year ago which represents the improved
customer and product mix implemented by the Company over the last twelve months.
The increase of $969 or 2.0% for the six months ended June 30, 1999 further
demonstrates this improvement.

Health care expenses for the three months ended June 30, 1999 increased $221, or
1.4%. Health care expense as a percentage of health care revenues improved by
0.7% from 66.6% of revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1998, to 65.9%
for the same period in 1999. For the six-month period, health care expenses
increased $232 or 0.7% but decreased as a percent of revenue from 67.0% in 1998
to 66.2% in 1999. This improvement was primarily as a result of


                                 Page 10 of 19


<PAGE>   11

the effect of the continued improvements in the Company's health care cost
ratios in its existing business as well as cost control measures implemented in
recent quarters.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30,
1999, increased $2,482, or 37.3% of revenue compared to 28.1% of revenue for the
same period a year ago. Similarly, the six-month results reflect an increase of
20.4% or $2,893 over the same period a year ago. This was impacted by the
Company's relocation of its Corporate and Western Region operations from
Anaheim, California to Aliso Viejo, California together with one-time costs to
adopt a more conservative approach to reserving for uncollectable accounts
receivable.

Other income for the three months ended June 30, 1999 was $789, which increased
from $534 for the same period a year ago and increased $837 or 55.7% for the
six-month period. This was largely due to gains on the sale of certain
securities coupled with interest recorded on notes receivable resulting from the
sale of certain dental practices. Other expenses, which include costs associated
with the restructuring of the Company's debt, which was finalized during the
second quarter, and a reduction in the value of certain dental practice notes
consistent with a Letter of Intent executed by the Company for the resale of the
dental practice assets which secure the notes. Interest expense of $1,102 for
the three months ended June 30, 1999 and $2,049 for the six months ended June 30
are the result of the interest associated with the Senior Notes and the $8
million revolving working capital credit facility pursuant to the terms and
conditions of the restructuring agreements. This represents an increase of $129
from $973 for three months and $154 for six months as compared to the prior year
periods.

Net income for the three months ended June 30, 1999, was $(7,046), which
resulted from the factors discussed above. Net income for the same period in
1998 was $428. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 1999 is $(6,261)
compared to $827 in the prior year.

Business Segment Information
----------------------------

The Company is engaged in a single business segment: the provision of dental
benefits to employer groups, associations and individuals.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------

The Company's capital and operational cash requirements have been met
principally from operating cash flows, and corporate borrowings, and this is
expected to continue.

At June 30, 1999, the current ratio was 1.1 to 1.0. The Company's net worth was
$15.8 million compared to $21.8 million a year earlier. The Company had $9.2
million of cash and investments as of June 30, 1999 compared to $6.2 million a
year earlier. As a result of its regulated nature, the Company is required to
maintain various regulatory bank accounts in an aggregate amount of
approximately $7.0 million to satisfy depository requirements imposed by state
regulatory agencies. Due to the significant cash and investments maintained by
the Company, these requirements do not pose a significant liquidity burden on
the Company. The Company believes that cash flow from continuing operations,
together with the existing cash and investments on hand and other available
sources of financing should be adequate to meet operating capital and regulatory
needs for the foreseeable future.

Credit Facilities
-----------------

Please see information set forth in Note 5 of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements herein.

Impact of Inflation
-------------------

Management believes that the Company's operations are not materially affected by
inflation. The Company believes that a majority of its costs are capitated or
fixed in nature and are directly related to membership levels, and therefore
related to premium levels.

Risk Factors
------------

In addition to the Risk Factors set forth in the Company's 1998 Annual Report on
Form 10-K, we have received a notice from NASDAQ indicating that the Company no
longer meets the tangible net asset requirement for continued



                                  Page 11 of 19



<PAGE>   12

listing on the NASDAQ National Market under Maintenance Standard Number 1. We
have provided NASDAQ our proposal for achieving compliance, which may result in
our meeting all NASDAQ National Market listing requirements under Maintenance
Standard Number 2. A hearing on this matter was held on July 16, 1999 in
Washington, D.C., at which time additional information was provided to NASDAQ.
The Company has not yet received the ruling from the NASDAQ hearing panel, and
no assurance can be made that after any applicable appeal periods, the Company
will be able to maintain our NASDAQ National Market listing. In such event, the
trading ability of its stock may be impaired.

Year 2000 Compliance
--------------------

Company's State of Readiness

The Company relies heavily upon information technology ("IT") systems and other
systems and facilities such as telephones, building access control systems and
heating and ventilation equipment ("embedded systems") to conduct its business.
The Company also has business relationships with dental health care providers,
financial institutions and other third parties ("Vendors") as well as regulators
and customers who are themselves reliant upon IT and embedded systems to conduct
their business.

As part of the Company's proactive approach to automation, the Company began
planning an awareness activity as early as January 1996 and incorporated Year
2000 compliance into its business continuity plans. As a result, the Company
purchased and is in the final implementation process of upgrading any and all
information systems software and hardware. The implementation of such new and
upgraded computer information systems will recognize the Year 2000 and process
date data correctly, including the Company's manipulation of data when dates are
in the 20th or 21st century. The Company executed its initial steps in 1996 when
it continued to enhance its information systems, including all hardware and
software products, individually and in combination, to better manage operational
resources and analysis of data. A review was also performed to determine the
future needs of the Company and to enhance technology to better enable the
Company to provide its services. In addition, as a foundation for developing and
executing its Year 2000 compliance program, SafeGuard utilized and integrated
Year 2000 compliance programs developed by both Federal and State governments
and corporate industry leaders. Moreover, SafeGuard developed a comprehensive
five-phase approach for all of its Year 2000 program activities and management
processes. The five phases are included in the following table and indicates the
percentage completed as of June 30, 1999.

</TABLE>

The Company's five-phase comprehensive approach is as follows:

(1)      Phase 1: Planning and Awareness - identify all IT and other systems and
         facilities and risk rate each according to its potential business
         impact;

(2)      Phase 2: Assessment - identify IT and other systems and facilities that
         utilize date functions and assessing them for Year 2000 functionality;

(3)      Phase 3: Renovation - reprogram or replace when necessary, inventoried
         items to ensure that they are Year 2000 compliant;


                                  Page 12 of 19


<PAGE>   13

(4)      Phase 4: Validation - test the code modifications and new inventory of
         other associated systems, including extensive date testing and
         performing quality assurance testing to ensure successful operation in
         a post-1999 environment; and

(5)      Phase 5:  Implementation of Year 2000 Compliant IT and other systems.

As indicated in the above-referenced chart, the Company completed Phase 1
Planning and Awareness on or about June 1, 1997, Phase 2 Assessment on or about
January 1, 1998, and Phase 3 Renovation of all of its IT and other systems and
related facilities on or about January 1, 1999. In addition, the Company
anticipates completing Phase 4 Validation by September 1, 1999 and it completed
Phase 5 Implementation of such Year 2000 Compliant IT and other systems and
facilities by June 1, 1999.

The Company has inventoried and risk rated substantially all of its embedded
systems. The results of these processes indicate that embedded systems should
not present a material Year 2000 risk to the Company. The Company's remaining
steps include testing selected embedded systems and remediating through
replacement and/or repair and certifying systems that exhibit Year 2000 issues.
The Company is focusing its testing and facilities such as data centers, service
centers and communication centers. The Company completed the testing and
implementation of these systems in June 1999, and anticipates that it will
complete implementation by September 1, 1999. The Company has also inventoried
and risk rated its systems. Substantially all of the tested systems have been
found to be compliant.

As part of the Company's Year 2000 Compliance Program Planning/Awareness and
Assessment phases, the Company documented the state and condition of existing
systems and processes and conducted a thorough analysis of inventory and vendor
supplied systems and subsystems. The Company included information technology
systems and non-information technology systems.

The Company also faces the risk that one or more of its Vendors will not be able
to interact with the Company due to the Vendor's inability to resolve its own
Year 2000 issues, including those associated with its own external
relationships. The Company has completed its inventory of Vendors and risk rated
each external relationship based upon the potential business impact, available
alternatives and cost of substitution. Although the Company is diligently
working with its vendors regarding Year 2000 compliance, there can be no
guarantee that all of the Company's vendors will be Year 2000 compliant.

The Company has previously compiled a comprehensive list of any and all Vendors
and Vendor products, which was included in a Vendor identification matrix.
Although the Company does not currently rely upon external Vendors for
proprietary software or data services, all other Vendors have been identified
and have either stated their full compliance or partial compliance with
contingent solutions to Year 2000 issues. The Company believes that its Vendors
with which it has a material relationship are Year 2000 Compliant, based upon
such vendor's assurances. Nonmaterial Vendors of the Company currently have
provided either full and/or partial certification of compliance with the Year
2000 issue. The Company will continue to monitor such nonmaterial Vendor
compliance activity in order to determine the risk to overall company
operations.

As a result of the anticipated execution of the Renovation, Validation and
Implementation phases of the Company's Year 2000 Compliance Program, the Company
believes the Year 2000 issue will not have a material impact on the Company's
results or operations.

Cost to Address Company's Year 2000 Issues

The cost the Company incurred to address Year 2000 Compliance issues from a
historical perspective is approximately $2.5 million. Whereas, the estimated
cost of the Company's completion of the final phases of renovation, validation
and implementation is estimated to be approximately $0.5 million. A large
majority of these costs are expected to be incremental expenses that will not
recur in Year 2000 or thereafter. The Company's current estimates primarily
reflect increased remediation and testing efforts. The source of funds for the
Year 2000 Compliance Program costs, including the percentage of the information
technology budget utilized for the program was $3.0 million. Year 2000
Compliance is critical to the Company. Therefore, the Company has redeployed
some resources from non-critical system enhancements to address Year 2000
issues. Due to the importance of IT systems to the Company's business,
management has not deferred the decision to make non-critical systems
enhancements Year 2000 ready. The Company


                                  Page 13 of 19




<PAGE>   14

does not expect these redeployments to have a material impact on the Company's
financial condition or result of operations.

Risk and Contingency/Recovery Planning

The Company reasonably believes that its Year 2000 Compliance Program, which
involves the phases of planning and awareness, assessment, renovation,
validation and implementation should prevent the Year 2000 from having a
material effect on the Company's business or financial condition. However, if
the Company's Year 2000 issues were unresolved, potential consequences would
include, among other possibilities, the inability to accurately and timely
process benefits claims, update client groups' accounts, process financial
transactions, bill client groups, report accurate data to management,
shareholders, customers, regulators and others as well as business interruptions
or shutdowns, financial losses, reputational harm, increased scrutiny by
regulators and litigation related to Year 2000 issues. The Company is attempting
to limit the potential impact of the Year 2000 by monitoring the progress of its
own Year 2000 project and those of its critical Vendors by developing
contingency/recovery plans.

The Company has begun to develop contingency/recovery plans aimed at ensuring
the continuity of critical business functions before and after December 31,
1999. As part of that process, the Company has begun to develop reasonably
likely failure scenarios for its critical IT systems and external relationships
and the embedded systems. Once these scenarios are identified, the Company will
develop plans that are designed to reduce the impact on the Company, and provide
methods of returning to normal operations, if one or more of those scenarios
occur. The Company completed the contingency/recovery planning as of June 1,
1999.

To reduce the risk of the Company presented by the Year 2000, the Company has
also increased its on-hand supplies of inventory for printed documents and
materials that are provided to client groups, and has identified alternative
Vendors, whether such Vendors have previously provided assurances that they are
fully Year 2000 Compliant or are in the process of becoming Year 2000 Compliant.
Therefore, based upon the Company's proactive Year 2000 Compliance Program, the
Company anticipates that the Year 2000 issue will not have a material impact on
the Company's results or operations.

See "Safe Harbor Statement" heading for factors that could cause actual Year
2000 results to differ from the Company's expectations.

Safe Harbor Statement Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the "1995 Act") provides a
"safe harbor" for forward-looking statements, so long as those statements are
identified as forward-looking and are accompanied by meaningful cautionary
statements identifying important factors that could cause actual results to
differ materially from those discussed in the statement. The Company desires to
take advantage of these safe harbor provisions.

The statements contained in this Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations concerning any future premium
pricing levels, future dental health care expense levels, the Company's
continued listing on the NASDAQ National Market, the Company's ability to
control health care, selling, general and administrative expenses, items
discussed under heading "Year 2000" and all other statements that are not
historical facts, are forward looking statements. Words such as expects,
projects, anticipates, intends, plans, believes, seeks or estimates, or
variations of such words and similar expressions are also intended to identify
forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to
significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the
control of the Company. Actual results may differ materially from those
projected in the forward looking statements, if any, which statements involve
risks and uncertainties: The Company's ability to expand is affected by
competition not only in benefit program choices, but also the number of dental
plan competitors in the markets in which the Company operates. Failure of the
Company to maintain its NASDAQ National Market listing may impair its stock
price. The ability to consummate the Company's transaction with the Investor
Group may effect the financial condition of the Company. Certain large employer
groups and other purchasers of commercial dental health care services continue
to demand minimal premium rate increases, while limiting the number of choices
offered to employees. In addition, securing cost effective contracts with
dentists may become more difficult in part due to the increased competition
among dental plans for dentist contracts. The Company's profitability depends,
in part, on its ability to maintain effective control over health care costs,
while providing members with


                                  Page 14 of 19




<PAGE>   15

quality dental care. Factors such as levels of utilization of dental health care
services, new technologies, specialists costs, and numerous other external
influences may effect the Company's operating results. Any critical unresolved
Year 2000 issues at the Company or its Vendors could have a material adverse
effect on the Company's results of operations, liquidity or financial condition.
In addition, the Company's expectations about the future costs and timely and
successful completion of its Year 2000 Program are subject to uncertainties that
could cause actual results to differ materially from what has been discussed
above under the heading "Year 2000." Factors that could influence the amount of
future costs and the completion dates and effectiveness of remediation, testing
and certification and contingency planning efforts include the Company's success
in identifying IT systems and embedded systems that contain two-digit year
codes, the nature and amount of required reprogramming, testing and
certification, the rate and magnitude of related labor and consulting costs, the
availability of qualified personnel and the success of the Company's external
relationships in addressing their own Year 2000 issues. The Company's
expectations for the future are based on current information and evaluation of
external influences. In addition, the financial condition of the Company may be
affected by its ability to maintain compliance with the financial and
operational covenants in the debt restructure agreements with its credit
lenders. Changes in any one factor could materially impact the Company's
expectations relating to premium rates, benefit plans offered, membership
growth, the percentage of health care expenses, and as a result, profitability
and therefore, effect the forward looking statements which may be included in
these reports. In addition, past financial performance is not necessarily a
reliable indicator of future performance. An investor should not use historical
performance alone to anticipate future results or future period trends.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company is not subject to material risk from interest rate or foreign
currency exchange rate fluctuations.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 5.  OTHER INFORMATION

On June 30, 1999, the Company announced that it executed a definitive agreement
(the "Agreement") with an investor group led by CAI Partners and Company and
Jack R. Anderson ("Investors") to invest $40 million into SafeGuard. The
transaction would involve the issuance of an aggregate of $20 million of
convertible preferred stock and convertible subordinated debentures, and $20
million of 8% ten-year senior notes. The preferred stock and the debentures will
be convertible into 5 million shares of common stock of the Company at a price
of $4.00 per share, subject to certain adjustments and have voting rights on an
as converted basis. The purchasers of the senior notes will receive warrants to
purchase an aggregate of 2.5 million shares of common stock of the Company at an
exercise price of $8.00 per share, subject to antidilution adjustment. As a
result of the investment, the holders of the preferred stock and debentures
would control a majority of the voting power of the Company and would be able to
designate 50% of the directors of the Company. Moreover, as part of the
transaction, a Stockholder Agreement between the Investors and Steven J.
Baileys, D.D.S., the Company's Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive
Officer, was also executed, which among other things, requires that Dr. Baileys
and a family trust which he controls, vote as stockholders in favor of the
Agreement. The Agreement, together with all Exhibits thereto, and the
Stockholder Agreement with Dr. Baileys were referenced, disclosed and filed as
exhibits to the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K, dated June 30, 1999. The
Stockholder Agreement with the Baileys Family Trust is in the same form except
that it relates to shares owned by the Trust.

The proceeds of this transaction will be used to repay existing debt of
SafeGuard. At the closing of this transaction, the existing agreements with
SafeGuard's current senior note holders and line of credit lender will be
terminated.

The transaction is subject to approval by the Company's stockholders, approval
by various regulatory agencies, including agencies in states in which the
Company does business, and other customary conditions. The Company's
Stockholders Rights Plan has also been amended so that this transaction does not
trigger issuance of the Rights thereunder, which is filed with this Report as
Exhibit 10.23.

The Agreement has been amended to allow for the change of the number of the
Company's Board of Directors from eight (8) to six (6) upon the Closing Date of
Agreement, which is filed with this Report as Exhibit 10.24.
