         per share. In accordance with this statement, basic loss per share for
         the quarters ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 was calculated by dividing
         net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding,
         which amounted to 10,026,704 and 6,900,378 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 1997, the FASB issued SFAS 130 "Reporting
         Comprehensive Income," and SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of
         an Enterprise and Related Information." SFAS 130 addresses standards
         for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components

         and SFAS 131 requires disclosure of reportable operating segments. Both
         statements are effective for years beginning after December 15, 1997.
         In February 1998, the FASB issued SFAS 132 "Employers Disclosures about
         Pensions and other Post-Retirement Plans". The statement is effective
         in 1998. The Company will be reviewing these statements to determine
         the applicability to the Company, if any.

5.       Subsequent Event

                  In April 1998, the Company entered into an amendment to its
         license agreement with the American Dental Association Health
         Foundation (the "ADAHF"), which was originally signed in June 1992 and
         which was subsequently restated and amended and further amended in June
         1995 (as amended, the "License Agreement"). The License Agreement
         grants the Company a fully-paid exclusive United States license to
         manufacture and sell toothpastes and chewing gum and other food and
         confectionery products ("Exclusive Products") using the ADAHF Patented
         Technology. Under the License Agreement, beginning in 1998 the Company
         will be required to pay a fixed annual royalty of $400,000 through 2008
         with respect to all Company sales of Exclusive Products (whether or not
         they rely upon the ADAHF Patented Technology) up to $100 million in
         that year and an additional fixed royalty of $200,000 with respect to
         all Company sales of Exclusive Products exceeding $100 million in that
         year. The Company has the right to sublicense or assign all or any part
         of its rights under the License Agreement, but will continue to be
         liable for payment of the fixed royalties regardless of such sublicense
         or assignment. The term of the License Agreement expires upon the last
         to expire of the ADAHF Patent Rights, including any continuations,
         divisions, reexaminations, extensions or releases thereof.

                  In April 1998, the Company also entered into an amendment to
         its foreign license agreement with the ADAHF, which was originally
         signed in November 1992 and subsequently restated and amended and
         further amended in June 1995 (as amended, the "Foreign License
         Agreement"). The Foreign License Agreement grants the Company an
         exclusive license to manufacture and sell Exclusive Products using
         technology that is the subject matter of foreign patent applications
         filed by the ADAHF in certain foreign countries. In addition, the
         Foreign License Agreement grants the Company the non-exclusive right to
         manufacture and sell other products in such countries using the
         technology that is the subject of such foreign patent applications,
         including oral sprays, mouth rinses and professional gels
         (collectively, "Non-Exclusive Products"). The Company's payment of
         royalties under the License Agreement will constitute a fully-paid
         license under the Foreign License Agreement with respect to the
         Exclusive Products. Under the Foreign License Agreement, the Company is
         required to pay 7% of net sales of Non-Exclusive products (4% if such

         sales are made by an entity that enters into a joint venture with the
         Company and bears the costs of prosecution of foreign patent
         applications).

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction
with the Financial Statements and Notes thereto appearing in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-KSB, for the year ended December 31, 1997.

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 Company began to test market Enamelon toothpaste in several
representative markets in March 1997. Test marketing and additional clinical
human studies to establish additional marketing claims for consumers and
dentists continued throughout 1997 and the national distribution of
Enamelon(R) anticavity fluoride toothpaste began in the first quarter of
1998. As a result, the Company emerged from the development stage. The Company
expects to continue to incur operating losses through 1999 and may require
additional financing to continue its operations.

Results of Operations

Three Months ended March 31, 1998 Compared to Three Months ended March 31, 1997

         Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 1998 were approximately
$1,713,000 resulting in a gross profit of approximately $704,000. The gross
profit for the quarter was affected by manufacturing inefficiencies resulting
from increased production for the national distribution of Enamelon(R)
anticavity fluoride toothpaste. The Company believes that gross profit will
improve as sales and manufacturing volume increase.

         Total operating expenses were approximately $5,164,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1998, compared to approximately $2,080,000 for the same
period in the prior year, an increase of $3,083,000. This increase was primarily
the result of higher marketing and selling expenses, which increased by
$2,711,000, and higher administrative and other expenses, which increased by
$434,000. These increases were partially offset by lower research and testing
expenses, which decreased by $62,000. The Company anticipates that total
expenses will 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.

         Marketing and selling expenses increased from $853,000 in 1997 to

$3,564,000 in 1998 as a result of advertising and promotion expenses to launch
the Company's toothpaste product into the national market.

         Research and testing expenses decreased from $746,000 in 1997 to 
$684,000 in 1998 primarily as a result of conversion from pilot plant
manufacturing in 1997 to full-scale manufacturing in 1998.

         Administrative and other expenses increased from $481,000 in 1997 to
$915,000 in 1998 primarily attributable to increased payroll, benefits,
consulting and other administrative office expenses, which resulted from the
Company's expanded operations.

         These increases were offset in part by $380,000 of additional interest
and dividend income.

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, its initial public offering of Common Stock totaling approximately
$16.1 million, net of expenses, and a second public offering totaling
approximately $26.3 million, net of expenses. At March 31, 1998, the Company had
cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities of

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                   (Continued)

approximately $35.7 million and working capital of $33.7 million. The Company
had no outstanding debt (other than accounts payable and accrued expenses) or
available lines of credit as of March 31, 1998.

         Since its inception and through March 31, 1998, the Company had
incurred losses aggregating approximately $19.4 million and had available net
operating loss carryforwards as of December 31, 1997 of approximately $15.3
million. The net operating loss carryforwards will expire if not used by the
period from 2007 through 2012 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 1999 while it continues clinical
testing and initial toothpaste marketing efforts. In March 1997, the Company
began to test market Enamelon(3) all family toothpaste in selected United
States markets. The Company believes that such test marketing was successful and
began a national roll-out of this product in the first quarter of 1998.

         Since its inception and through March 31, 1998, the Company had paid
approximately $3,092,000 for the purchase of equipment and approximately
$680,000 for costs associated with obtaining patents, trademarks and licensing
rights. The Company intends to use approximately $1.3 million of its cash to
purchase additional manufacturing equipment for the production of the Company's
patented split system toothpaste tube and for high-speed filling equipment, and
for computer equipment and software to support operations.


         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. The Company currently estimates that cash on hand, together with
its projected cash flow from operations, if any, will be sufficient to finance
its working capital and other requirements through 1999. Thereafter, or sooner
if conditions necessitate, the Company may need to raise additional funds
through public or private financings. If adequate funds are not available, then
the Company may be required to delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate the
commercial introduction of its toothpaste product and otherwise reduce the
proposed operations.

         The foregoing discussion should be read in conjunction with the
Financial Statements and Notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report and in
the Company's Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1997. Except for the
historical information contained herein, the foregoing discussion contains
forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. The Company's
actual results could differ materially from those projected in the
forward-looking statements discussed herein. Factors that could cause actual
results to differ materially include, but are not limited to, the following:
acceptance of the Company's products by consumers; the Company's ability to
procure additional financing from time to time as necessary to maintain its
operations until it becomes profitable; changes in Food and Drug Administration
and Federal Trade Commission regulations as they apply to the Company's
products; and challenges to patents either licensed to or held directly by the
Company. Those and other risks are described in the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1997.

Effect of New Accounting Pronouncement

         In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS 130 "Reporting Comprehensive
Income," and SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and
Related Information." SFAS 130 addresses standards for reporting and display of
comprehensive income and its components and SFAS 131 requires disclosure of
reportable operating segments. Both statements are effective for years beginning
after December 15, 1997. In February 1998, the FASB issued SFAS 132 "Employers
Disclosures about Pensions and other Post-Retirement Plans". The statement is
effective in 1998. The Company will be reviewing these statements to determine
the applicability to the Company, if any.
