3.       Earnings per share

Effective December 15, 1997, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 128. "Earnings Per Share," which provides for the
calculation of "Basic" and "Diluted" earnings (loss) per share. In accordance
with this statement, basic loss per share for the quarters ended March 31, 1999
and 1998 was calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding, which amounted to 10,262,041 and 10,026,704
respectively. Diluted loss per share has not been presented since the effect of
dilutive shares is antidilutive in both periods.

4.       Recent Accounting Standards

In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities." This statement is effective in the year 2000 but is not
expected to affect the Company.

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

                      Management's Discussion and Analysis
                of Financial Condition and Results of Operations


General

         The Company was founded in June 1992 to develop and market
over-the-counter oral care products that prevent tooth decay at its earliest
stage and are based on proprietary formulations and technologies.

         The national distribution of Enamelon all-family toothpaste began
in the first quarter of 1998, and the Company emerged from the development stage
at that time. The Company expects to continue to incur operating losses through
2000 and will require additional financing by mid-year 1999. The Company has
retained an investment banking firm to assist it in obtaining additional
financing to meet its future cash requirements. There can be no assurances that
the Company will be able to obtain additional financing to fund its operations.
If adequate funds are not available, then the Company may be required to reduce
the scope of operations.


Results of Operations

Three Months ended March 31, 1999 Compared to Three Months ended March 31, 1998

         Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 1999 were approximately
$5,803,000 compared with approximately $1,713,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1998. The increase in sales is the result of the national distribution
and growing customer acceptance of the Company's toothpaste as a result of
coordinated marketing efforts, including television and radio advertising,
successful coupon events as well as other promotional programs that were
expanded in 1999. While the Company will continue its marketing efforts, there
can be no assurance that the Company will sustain these or future increased
sales levels.

         Gross profit earned for the three months ended March 31, 1999 was
approximately $3,524,000 compared with approximately $704,000 for the same
period in 1998. The improved gross profit for the quarter ended March 31, 1999
was the result of higher sales, lower product cost resulting from manufacturing
efficiencies, and reduced raw material and packaging costs due to increased
volume. The Company believes that the gross profit margin can be sustained or
further improved as production levels increase as a result of manufacturing
efficiencies, and if the sales volume levels are sustained.

         Total operating expenses were approximately $11,741,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1999, compared to approximately $5,164,000 for the same
period in the prior year, an increase of $6,578,000. This increase was primarily
the result of higher marketing and selling expenses, which increased by
$6,122,000, higher research and testing expenses, which increased by $122,000,
and higher administrative and other expenses, which increased by $334,000. The
Company anticipates that total expenses will continue to increase over the next
few years as the Company increases its product development, manufacturing and
marketing activities. Such increased business activities will require additional
personnel and payments to third parties.

                      Management's Discussion and Analysis
                of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
                                   (continued)


         Marketing and selling expenses increased from $3,564,000 in 1998 to
$9,686,000 in 1999 as a result of advertising and promotion expenses to continue
launching the Company's toothpaste product into the national market. Increased
marketing and selling expenses are primarily attributable to consumer and trade
programs for the all family and whitening toothpaste, which include: consumer
advertising and media, coupons, trade displays and promotion. The increase is
attributable to the increased sales and increased distribution levels over 1998.

         Research and testing expenses increased from $684,000 in 1998 to
$806,000 in 1999 primarily as a result of additional personnel and overhead
expenses associated with the Company's research and development programs.

         Administrative and other expenses increased from $915,000 in 1998 to
$1,249,000 in 1999 primarily attributable to increased payroll and benefits,
consulting, and other administrative office expenses which resulted from the
Company's expanded operations.

         Interest and dividend income decreased from $511,000 in 1998 to
$163,000 in 1999 as a result of cash used to fund the Company's operations.

         Accrued dividends on preferred stock of $75,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1999 is a result of the $5,000,000 Preferred Stock offering in
December 1998 which accrues interest at an annual rate of 6%.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

         Since its inception in June 1992, the Company has financed its
operations primarily through private placements of Series A Preferred Stock and
Common Stock, and public offerings of Common Stock totaling approximately
$56,900,000, net of expenses, and a private placement of Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock totaling approximately $4,833,000, net of expenses. At March 31,
1999, the Company had cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities of
approximately $8,086,000 and working capital of $5,435,000. The Company had no
outstanding debt (other than accounts payable and accrued expenses) or available
lines of credit as of March 31, 1999.

         Since its inception and through March 31, 1999, the Company had
incurred losses aggregating approximately $52,705,000 and had available net
operating loss carryforwards as of December 31, 1998 of approximately
$44,400,000. The net operating loss carryforwards will expire if not used by the
period from 2007 through 2018 and may be limited by United States federal tax
law as a result of future changes in ownership. The Company expects to continue
to incur operating losses at least through 2000 while it continues clinical
testing and initial toothpaste marketing efforts.

         Since its inception and through March 31, 1999 the Company had paid
approximately $3,481,000 for the purchase of equipment and approximately
$1,021,000 for costs associated with obtaining patents, trademarks and licensing
rights. The Company intends to use approximately $1,300,000 of its cash to
purchase additional manufacturing equipment for the production of the Company's
patented split system toothpaste tube, high-speed filling equipment, and
computer equipment and software to support operations.

                of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
                                   (continued)


         The Company's cash requirements may vary materially from those now
planned depending on numerous factors, including the status of the Company's
marketing efforts, the Company's business development activities, the
availability of alternative financing for the acquisition of manufacturing
equipment, the results of clinical trials, the regulatory process and
competition. Under the Company's current plan, management estimates that cash
and cash equivalents on hand, together with its projected cash flow from
operations, if any, will be sufficient to finance its working capital and other
requirements through mid-1999. The Company has retained an investment banking
firm to assist it in obtaining additional financing, either through public or
private offerings, to meet its future cash requirements. Should such additional
financing not become available through the investment banking firm, management
believes that the Company can obtain additional financing through other sources
to continue its operations. There can be no assurance that the Company will be
able to obtain additional financing to fund its operations. If adequate funds
are not available, then the Company may be required to reduce the scope of
operations.


Readiness for Year 2000

         The information provided below constitutes a "Year 2000 Readiness
Disclosure" for purposes of the Year 2000 Information and Readiness Disclosure
Act.

         The Year 2000 ("Y2K") issue refers to possible events resulting
directly or indirectly from the inability of digital computer equipment or
software to accurately and without interruption handle dates both before and
after January 1, 2000 and to process the year 2000 as a leap year.

         The Company has reviewed its manufacturing and resource planning
software and current operating system and believes that they are Y2K compliant.
The Company primarily utilizes operating systems obtained from Microsoft, which
the Company believes, based on information provided by Microsoft, are Y2K
compliant. The Company believes that none of the Company's equipment is date
sensitive or otherwise uses embedded computer chips. Accordingly, the Company
does not believe that embedded chip technology will present any Y2K issues.
However, the Company is also checking its equipment to verify this as part of
its overall Y2K program. The Company expects that the costs of achieving
internal Y2K compliance will not have a material adverse impact on results of
operations, liquidity or capital resources.

         The Company is in the process of formally contacting its suppliers to
identify any potential disruption in the supply of raw materials. Responses to
date have indicated that those suppliers do not anticipate encountering any
material Y2K issues. The Company expects to resolve any significant Y2K issues
before the occurrence of any business disruptions, although the Company has
limited or no control over the actions of the suppliers. However, the Company
believes that the supply of chemicals and raw materials used in its
manufacturing processes is unlikely to be significantly disrupted. In addition,
the Company, in the normal course of business, maintains adequate inventories of
such raw materials to protect against short-term delivery interruptions.

                of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
                                   (continued)


         The risk to the Company resulting from the failure of customers and
other third parties to attain Y2K readiness is the same as other companies in
its industry or other business enterprises generally. The Company expects to
resolve any significant Y2K issues with customers before the occurrence of any
business disruptions, although the Company has limited or no control over the
actions of these customers. The Company expects to maintain adequate finished
goods inventories to protect customers against the possibility of temporary
service disruptions, if any.

         The Company expects to find and adequately prepare for all significant
internal Y2K issues that could adversely affect its business operations. The
Company does not anticipate that the cost of resolving such issues will have a
material impact on its financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
While the Company believes its efforts are adequate to address the Y2K concerns,
there can be no guarantee that all internal systems, as well as those of third
parties on which the Company relies will be converted on a timely basis and will
not have a material adverse affect on the Company's operations. However, the
Company does not believe that it is possible to identify, with complete
certainty, all potential Y2K issues that may affect the Company, its suppliers,
or its customers. The Company expects that any disputes arising as a result of
such identified Y2K issues will be resolved in the normal course of business.


Effect of New Accounting Pronouncement

In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities." This statement is effective in the year 2000 but is not
expected to affect the Company.
