PART I
 
Item 1— Description of Business
 
(a)  History and Organization
 
Remedent USA, Inc. was incorporated under the laws of Arizona in September 1996. We were initially formed for the purposes of developing, marketing and distributing the Remedent Toothbrush, a new single-handle toothbrush, gumbrush and tongue cleaner designed to improve oral care at an affordable price. We have never been a party to any bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceeding.
 
(b)  Our Business
 
Our primary product has been the Remedent Tooth and Gumbrush (“Remedent Toothbrush”) a toothbrush, gumbrush and tongue cleaner in a single instrument. Our initial marketing efforts included direct marketing to dental professionals, a formulated marketing campaign through Double Eagle Market Development Company in the Northwestern states and a promotional mail-out consisting of the Remedent Toothbrush on educational videos, coupons and brochures. However, due to the extremely cost-intensive nature of retail marketing, we were unable to adequately increase the exposure of this product. As a result, we have incurred substantial net losses resulting in working capital and shareholder deficits.
 
As a result of these substantial net losses, during the beginning of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002, we reassessed our operations and business structure and implemented a complete corporate reorganization plan. This plan included the sale of the Remedent Toothbrush division and expansion into diversified business ventures. These diversified ventures include the development of high-technology dental equipment for marketing within the professional dental market and the acquisition of a dental employee leasing firm. On March 14, 2002, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement selling our Remedent Toothbrush division to Famcare 2000, LLC. (See “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions”)
 
On July 1, 2001, in connection with this diversification, we formed three wholly-owned subsidiaries, Remedent Professional Holdings, Inc. (“RPH”), Remedent Professional, Inc. (“Remedent Professional”) and Remedent NV, and began developing high-technology dental equipment. We retained nine additional personnel, including two engineers and seven operations and finance employees, with strong backgrounds in the business of high-technology dental equipment. During the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002, we initiated our entrance into this market, with the introduction of the RemeCure CL-15, high-speed dental curing light. We plan to market this product domestically through Remedent Professional, and internationally through Remedent NV.
 
We are also currently developing additional products for introduction within this market, including intraoral cameras we plan to introduce in October 2002.
 
Additionally, during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2002, we completed the acquisition of a dental employee-outsourcing firm in Belgium, International Medical & Dental Support. As the firm remained in the start-up phase subsequent to the acquisition, no revenues from this firm were recognized during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002. We did incur additional start-up costs, such as organization and advertising costs, which were included within the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002 financial statements.

Our objective is to become a leading developer and manufacturer of high-technology dental equipment and operator of employee leasing firms, capitalizing on the synergies and marketing inroads each division provides.
 
(c)  Competition
 
The dental products market is intensely competitive. Within this market, there are at least 12 companies which offer dental curing and whitening lamps. Our competitors have greater financial and other resources, and, consequently, are better able to market and generate consumer awareness of their product.
 
Within the dental products market, we will be competing with other companies primarily on the basis of price, technology, customer service and value-added services, with our principal competitors being Patterson Dental Co., Henry Schein, Inc., Dentsply, Ultrak, Air Techniques, Kreativ Products, American Dental Technologies and Argon Laser.
 
(d)  Business Strategy
 
We compete within the high-technology dental equipment market, a highly competitive market. To compete within this market, our business strategy is to:
 
 
 
Strengthen and broaden core brands through marketing and advertising, product development and manufacturing;
 
 
 
Emerge with cutting-edge technology.
 
 
 
Expand our presence in all markets in which we compete and enter new markets where there are opportunities for growth; and
 
 
 
Continue to reduce costs and manage working capital, and improve operating efficiencies, customer service and product quality.
 
(e)  Marketing Strategies
 
Within the dental equipment market, we market our technology through dental equipment distributors, sharing the marketing efforts with these distributors through attendance at dental conferences and a combination of direct mail solicitations, professional publications and website-based advertising.
 
In connection with our entrance into the dental equipment market, we continue to analyze the most cost-effective manufacturing and distribution methods. The current method entails turn-key manufacturing with a large manufacturer with distribution occurring through both drop shipments from the manufacturer and shipments from our own facility. This provides highly predictable and controllable cost of sales and essentially eliminates all indirect manufacturing overhead costs.

2


 
(f)  Distribution Methods
 
We currently distribute our dental equipment through both drop shipments from the manufacturer and shipments from our own facility, providing highly predictable and controllable cost of sales and essentially eliminating all indirect manufacturing overhead costs.
 
(g)  Principal Suppliers
 
Consistent with our goal for highly predictable and controllable cost of sales and the elimination of indirect manufacturing overhead costs, we do not procure raw materials or manufacture our products in-house. As such, we have retained a contract manufacturer, located in France, for the complete production of our initial professional dental product, the RemeCure CL-15 high-speed curing light. The agreement provides that the manufacturer will procure all raw materials necessary for the production of the product, and will charge a set price to us for the product and the related quality control testing. Additionally, the manufacturer provides a 14 month warranty from the date of receipt.
 
While we believe our contract manufacturer will enable us to meet our current and anticipated operational requirements, we can provide no assurance that such availability will continue or that the terms will remain commercially competitive.
 
(h)  Major Customers
 
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002, the company had two significant customers, accounting for 38% and 13%, respectively, of consolidated revenue.
 
(i)  Intellectual Property
 
Within the dental products market, we are developing products, which we believe do not infringe upon any valid existing proprietary rights of third parties. We plan to seek patent protection for all technology developed for distribution within this market. We can provide no assurance the steps taken to seek patent protection will be successful. Additionally, if received, we can provide no assurance third parties will not assert infringement claims against us. Defending such claims can be both expensive and time-consuming, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully defend against or similarly prosecute an infringement claim. The loss of such rights (or our failure to obtain similar licenses or agreements) would have a materially adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. We can provide no assurance the steps taken to protect intellectual property will be adequate to prevent misappropriation of that intellectual property, or that our competitors will not independently develop products substantially equivalent or superior to our products.

(j)  Governmental Approval
 
We market dental products which are legally defined to be medical devices, therefore, we are considered to be a medical device manufacturer and as such we are subject to the regulations of, among other governmental entities, the United States Food and Drug Administration and the corresponding agencies of the states and foreign countries in which a Company sells its products. These regulations govern the introduction of new medical devices, the observance of certain standards with respect to the manufacture and labeling of medical devices, the maintenance of certain records and the reporting of potential product problems and other matters. A failure to comply with such regulations could have material adverse effects on our business.
 
The Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (“FDC Act”) regulates medical devices in the United States by classifying them into one of three classes based on the extent of regulation believed necessary to ensure safety and effectiveness. Class I devices are those devices for which safety and effectiveness can reasonably be ensured through general controls, such as device listing, adequate labeling, premarket notification and adherence to the Quality System Regulation (“QSR”) as well as medical device reporting (“MDR”), labeling and other regulatory requirements. Some Class I medical devices are exempt from the requirement of pre-market approval or clearance. Class II devices are those devices for which safety and effectiveness can reasonably be ensured through the use of special controls, such as performance standards, post-market surveillance and patient registries, as well as adherence to the general controls provisions applicable to Class I devices. Class III devices are devices that generally must receive premarket approval by the FDA pursuant to a premarket approval (“PMA”) application to ensure their safety and effectiveness. Generally, Class III devices are limited to life sustaining, life supporting or implantable devices; however, this classification can also apply to novel technology or new intended uses or applications for existing devices.
 
Before they can be marketed, most medical devices introduced to the United States market are required by the FDA to secure either clearance of a pre-market notification pursuant to Section 510(k) of the FDC Act (a “510(k) Clearance”) or approval of a PMA. Obtaining approval of a PMA application can take several years. In contrast, the process of obtaining 510(k) Clearance generally requires a submission of substantially less data and generally involves a shorter review period. Most Class I and Class II devices enter the market via the 510(k) Clearance procedure, while new Class III devices ordinarily enter the market via the more rigorous PMA procedure. In general, approval of a 510(k) Clearance may be obtained if a manufacturer or seller of medical devices can establish that a new device is “substantially equivalent” to a predicate device other than one that has an approved PMA. The claim for substantial equivalence may have to be supported by various types of information, including clinical data, indicating that the device is as safe and effective for its intended use as its legally marketed equivalent device. The 510(k) Clearance is required to be filed and cleared by the FDA prior to introducing a device into commercial distribution. Market clearance for a 510(k) Notification submission may take 3 to 12 months or longer. If the FDA finds that the device is not substantially equivalent to a predicate device, the device is deemed a Class III device, and a manufacturer or seller is required to file a PMA application. Approval of a PMA application for a new medical device usually requires, among other things, extensive clinical data on the safety and effectiveness of the device. PMA applications may take years to be approved after they are filed. In addition to requiring clearance or approval for new medical devices, FDA rules also require a new 510(k) filing and review period, prior to marketing a changed or modified version of an existing legally marketed device, if such changes or modifications could significantly affect the safety or effectiveness of that device. FDA prohibits the advertisement or promotion of any approved or cleared device for uses other than those that are stated in the device’s approved or cleared application.

Generally, if we are in compliance with FDA and California regulations, we may market our products throughout the United States. International sales of medical devices are also subject to the regulatory requirements of each country. In Europe, the regulations of the European Union require that a device have a CE mark before it can be sold in that market. The regulatory international review process varies from country to country. We rely upon our distributors and sales representatives in the foreign countries in which we market our products to ensure we comply with the regulatory laws of such countries. Failure to comply with the laws of such country could have a material adverse effect on our operations and, at the very least, could prevent us from continuing to sell products in such countries. Exports of most medical devices are also subject to certain limited FDA regulatory controls.
 
We will ensure all regulations are complied with, all registrations are performed and all required clearances are received.
 
(k)  Costs and Effects of Compliance with Environmental Laws and Regulations
 
We are not involved in a business which involves the use of materials in a manufacturing stage where such materials are likely to result in the violation of any existing environmental rules and/or regulations. Further, we do not own any real property, which would lead to liability as a landowner. Therefore, we do not anticipate that there will be any costs associated with the compliance of environmental laws and regulations.
 
(l)  Employees
 
We currently retain nine employees worldwide, two in the United States and seven in Belgium, all of which were hired in connection with our entrance into the dental equipment market. The two personnel within the United States operate the Remedent USA, Inc. and Remedent Professional, Inc. entities, while the seven personnel in Belgium operate the Remedent N.V. entity. We hire independent contractors on an “as needed” basis only. We have no collective bargaining agreements with our employees. We believe that our employee relationships are satisfactory. Long term, we will attempt to hire additional employees as needed based on our growth rate.
 
(m)  Research and Development
 
Research and Development (R&D) costs have been increasing during the current fiscal year. R&D costs were $270,395 and $80,495 for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The increase for fiscal year 2002 reflects expenses for design and development of the new curing light technology introduced during the first quarter of 2002, and intraoral camera technology that we plan to release to the market during the fourth quarter of 2002. R&D costs incurred in the previous fiscal year related to the Remedent Toothbrush, and were less significant as the patented design was developed under the direction of Mr. Jean Louis Vrignaud, its inventor.
 
Item 2— Properties
 
We currently lease two facilities for our operations. In Encino, California, we lease an office within an executive suites building, on a three-month lease, commencing June 4, 2001, for $1,248 per month. Currently, this lease in continuing on a month-by-month basis. In Ghent, Belgium, we lease office and warehouse space for approximately €6,300 per month

For the fiscal year ending March 31, 2002, net sales increased by $508,249 from $225,604 in 2001 to $733,853 in 2002. This represents a 225% increase over the comparable period ending March 31, 2001. The increase was due to the commencement of dental equipment sales in our European subsidiary, partially offset by the continued reduction in sales within the oral hygiene market throughout the year, and complete termination of these sales as of December 31, 2001. As the Company has initiated its presence within the professional dental equipment market, our European subsidiary has begun sales of our initial technology, a high-speed dental curing light, as well as after-

8


 
market products, including accessories and repair services. These revenues were partially offset by the continued reduction in oral hygiene revenues throughout the year, consistent with our reorganization plan, as we reposition assets and resources to the professional dental equipment market, and finalize the sale of the oral hygiene division.
 
Cost of goods sold increased by $347,165 or 224% for the year ending March 31, 2002 over the comparable period ended March 31, 2001. This represents a corresponding increase to the increase in sales during the current fiscal year end.
 
Gross profit increased by $161,084 or 228% for the year ended on March 31, 2002 over the comparable period ended March 31, 2001. Gross profit percentage increased to 32% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002 compared to 31% for the comparable period ended March 31, 2001. The increase is the result of our shift to the higher-margin professional dental equipment market during the current fiscal year. There were no sales of these products during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2001. Additionally, excluding one-time write-offs of obsolete marketing and promotional material within the oral hygiene division of $69,000 and obsolete raw materials, due to design changes, within the professional dental equipment division of $14,000, the recurring gross profit percentage was 43%.
 
Research and development expenses as of March 31, 2002 increased by $189,900 over the prior fiscal year, due primarily to the research and development costs incurred during the start-up phase of the Company’s high-technology dental equipment segment. These expenditures relate primarily to the labor and materials to design and manufacture our new curing light technology, in addition to the completion of 15 prototypes. We expect we will continue to invest in research and development, and anticipate significant costs in the near future as we continue to develop products for the dental equipment markets. These products include the introduction of two new intraoral cameras for use within this market. These products are currently in development and we expect to introduce these into market during the fourth quarter of 2002.
 
Sales and marketing costs as of March 31, 2002 and 2001 were $49,582 and $228,029 respectively, which represents a decrease of $178,447 or 78%. The reduction is a result of the shift in business focus from the retail selling of oral hygiene products to the wholesale selling of professional dental products. In connection with our reorganization plan implemented during the current fiscal year, we began downsizing the marketing-intensive retail selling of oral hygiene products, and formally ceased these operations on December 31, 2001, in anticipation of the sale of the division. We have shifted into the professional dental equipment market, whereby we focus on the less capital-intensive sale of units to large distributors. This marketing and distribution method allows for significantly less marketing and provides more predictable revenue flow.
 
General and administrative costs for 2002 and 2001 were $1,793,362 and $320,038 respectively, an increase of $1,473,324 or 460%. This increase is due to the overhead, primarily payroll and rent, associated with our professional dental equipment business operating in both Europe and the United States, which commenced on July 1, 2001. Additionally, in connection with the reorganization plan, the Company has begun intensifying fund-raising and investor relation activities, with the resulting increase in such expenses.
 
Net interest expense decreased by $86,227 during the year ended March 31, 2002 over the comparable period ending March 31, 2001. The decrease in interest expense was largely due to the conversion feature of the convertible debentures entered into with shareholders during the prior fiscal year. No such debentures were entered into during the current fiscal year. This decrease was partially offset by the interest accrued on working capital loans entered into during the current fiscal year.

Inflation has not had a material effect on our revenue and income from continuing operations in the past three years. We do not expect inflation to have a material future effect.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
On March 31, 2002, our current liabilities exceeded our current assets by $1,121,304. Our business operations will require substantial capital financing on a continuing basis. The availability of that financing will be essential to our continued operation and expansion. In addition, cash flow and liquidity is contingent upon the success of our restructuring plan. The inability to continue to develop and market high-technology dental equipment or operate our newly acquired dental outsourcing business will force us to raise additional capital to support operations by selling equity securities or incurring additional debt.
 
Since our inception in 1996, we have sustained net losses and negative cash flow, due largely to start-up costs, general and administration expenses, inventory, marketing and other expenses related to market development and new product launch. As a result, we have financed our working capital requirements principally through loans and the private placement of our common stock.
 
In February 2002, we entered into a line of credit facility with the Bank Brussels Lambert (“BBL”) consisting of a accounts receivable factoring line for €991,000 and a general line of credit for €250,000 ($1,082,648 at March 31, 2002). As of March 31, 2002, we had drawn $137,866 from this facility.
 
During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002, we received advances of $150,799 from officers and directors in the form of working capital loans. These loans bear no interest and allow for repayment terms to be agreed upon at a future date. We repaid $11,314 of these advances with cash and settled $88,308 of these advances with the issuance of common stock valued at $0.50 a share.
 
In January 2002, we completed a $270,000 private placement, selling an aggregate of 3,375,000 shares of common stock at $0.08 a share. $76,876 of the private placement was received during April 2002.
 
In September 2001, we received $120,000 in the form of working capital loans, $20,000 to mature in November 2001 and $100,000 to mature in December 2001. Through May 2002, we had made $22,222 in principal payments on the $100,000 loan and agreed to repayment of the balance with the issuance of 972,225 shares of common stock. Additionally, in May 2002, we agreed to the repayment of the $20,000 loan with the issuance of 375,000 shares of common stock.
 
In September 2001, we completed a $110,500 private placement, selling an aggregate of 442,000 shares of common stock at $0.25 a share.
 
In April 2001, we completed a $313,000 private placement, selling an aggregate of 1,252,000 shares of common stock at $0.25 a share.
 
In January 1999, Rebecca Inzunza, former President of the Company, loaned the Company $50,000 at 7% interest which was paid throughout the year and as of March 31, 2001 the principal balance was paid in full. On December 11, 1998, Remedent received a $50,000 line of credit from Union Bank of Arizona. We have drawn upon the full amount. The interest rate was 10.25% with a maturity date of December 31, 1999. On April 26, 2000, the loan balance of $49,970.55 was converted to a five-year loan with an interest rate of prime + 2.5% (7.25% at March 31, 2002),

monthly payments of $1,099, and a maturity date of April 26, 2005. Monthly payments include payments towards both principal and interest.
 
During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2001, the Company borrowed $149,002 from shareholders and a director in the form of convertible debentures. These debentures are unsecured, due on demand and bear interest at 10% per annum. In addition, at the sole discretion of the holder, can be converted to stock at 37.5% of the average trading price 30 days prior to maturity.
 
Kenneth J. Hegemann, an officer, operates CRA Labs, Inc., a related business that advanced $11,500 during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2001. We repaid $4,000 of these advances during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2001, and were advanced an additional $8,000 during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002. These advances were repaid on January 24, 2002 through the issuance of common stock valued at $0.50 a share.
 
We expect to continue to experience negative cash flow through at least the second quarter of 2002, and may continue to do so thereafter while we fully implement our restructuring plan. Unless we are able to generate sufficient revenue or acquire additional debt or equity financing to cover our present and ongoing operation costs and liabilities, we may not be able to continue as a going concern. Our auditors note that we have sustained substantial net losses since our inception in September 1996. In addition, as of March 31, 2002, we had a working capital deficit totaling $1,121,304 and a shareholders deficit of $728,292.
 
For the year ending March 31, 2002, liabilities totaled $1,516,336 and $1,092,220 for the year ending March 31, 2001, which represents an increase of $424,116. This was largely due to the draws on the line of credit facility, the working capital loans entered into and the additional advances received from related parties.
 
Frequently we have been unable to make timely payments to our trade and service vendors. As of March 31, 2002, we had past due payables in the amount of $141,538, representing a 66% decrease from the prior fiscal year. This reduction is due primarily to our upcoming sale of the oral hygiene division, including its related payables, and our gradual reduction in existing payables through the payments and reduction in the occurrence of additional indebtedness. Deferred payment terms have been negotiated with most of the vendors, which has allowed us to continue to make shipments on time and no orders have been cancelled to date.
 
For the years ending March 31, 2002 and 2001, net cash used for operating activities was $790,109 and $194,283, respectively. As of March 31, 2002 we had a working capital deficiency of $1,121,304, as compared to a working capital deficiency of $976,945 at March 31, 2001. Our business operations will require substantial capital financing on a continuing basis.
 
We have taken several actions, which we believe will improve our short-term and long-term liquidity and cash flow. For the short term, we have improved liquidity and cash flow by negotiating extended payment terms with vendors and converting various obligations into common stock. For the long term, we have negotiated for the sale of the oral hygiene division, with its related liabilities, and restructured the business to lower overhead and eliminate indirect manufacturing costs.
 
Our business operations will require substantial capital financing on a continuing basis. Based upon our cash flow projections, significant capital infusion is necessary to fully implement our restructuring plan and pay existing delinquent payables. We plan to finance such through loans, equity investments and other transactions. We reasonably believe that the net proceeds from our efforts, assuming the maximum amount is raised and loans are obtained, plus revenues generated

11


from operations, will be sufficient to fund our operations. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able secure the necessary financing. In the event that we are unsuccessful in completing financing arrangements, we would have difficulty meeting our operation expenses, satisfying our existing or future debt obligations, or succeeding in implementing our restructuring plan. Without sufficient cash flow we are unable to satisfy our debt obligations, our ongoing growth and operations are, and will continue to be, restricted and there is substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.

Item 12Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.
 
Related Party Transactions
 
On March 14, 2002, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with, Famcare 2000, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company, owned and operated by Rob Hegemann, the son of Ken Hegemann, a director. The Agreement provides for the sale of our Remedent Toothbrush business, which accounted for approximately $50,000 in revenues for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002. The business, which engages in the worldwide distribution of the Remedent Toothbrush, had been our sole activity since 1996. However, due to recurring net losses and increasing working capital and shareholder deficits, we implemented, in July 2001, a complete corporate reorganization plan. This plan included the ceasing of direct sales and marketing of the Remedent Toothbrush, and acquisition of and expansion into diversified business ventures.

On February 12, 2002, our subsidiary, Remedent NV, entered into a loan agreement for €125,000 ($109,050 at March 31, 2002), with a company owned and operated by Guy De Vreese, an officer. The agreement was entered into in connection with a line of credit established with the Bank Brussel Lambert (“BBL”) for €250,000 ($218,100 at March 31, 2002. Due to the insufficient assets maintained by the Company as of the date of the line of credit, the BBL imposed two requirements for the extension of credit; (1) Mr. De Vreese personally guarantee the line of credit, and (2) the company owned by Mr. De Vreese repay its existing line of credit in full. As such, the loan received was utilized to repay the existing line of credit. Repayment of the loan will occur upon our ability to provide sufficient assets to replace the personal guarantee of Mr. De Vreese.
 
Between April 15, 2001 and August 21, 2001, in consideration of $69,002, we issued convertible debentures issued to Edward Quincy, who was a director of the Company from inception to April 1, 2002. These convertible debentures are due on demand, bearing interest at 10% per annum, and convertible into common stock at the sole discretion of the holder. The debentures are convertible into common stock at percentages between 30% and 37.5% of the average trading price for the stock for the 30 day period immediately prior to the maturity date. $54,002 of the debentures carry a 37.5% conversion percentage, while $15,000 carry a 30% conversion percentage. In connection with this conversion feature, the Company recorded a charge of $59,002 and $10,000 to interest expense during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. These amounts were calculated on the 30 day period prior to the dates of the notes, and are subject to change based on the 30 day period prior to the maturity dates. As of December 31, 2002, $11,839 was accrued for unpaid interest.
 
We formerly leased 1,000 square feet of office space at 1220 Birch Way, Escondido, California. This dwelling belongs to Ms. Inzunza and acts as our headquarters. Since January 1998, Remedent has paid $300 per month directly to Ms. Inzunza for this office space. As of January 1, 2000, the lease amount was increased to $655. We also utilized warehouse space located within the home of one of our officers, Robert Hegemann, in Phoenix, Arizona, rent-free. In connection with her resignation as an officer and director on April 1, 2002, as part of our corporate reorganization, we no longer utilize the dwelling belonging to Ms. Inzunza, and as such no longer incur monthly rental charges for the property. Additionally, in connection with the sale of the Remedent Toothbrush business, which was operated solely out of the personal residence of Robert Hegemann, we no longer utilize, or incur monthly rental charges for, that space.
 
On October 5, 1996, we entered into a royalty agreement with Jean Louis Vrignaud, a holder of more than 5% of outstanding stock, under which Mr. Vrignaud is to receive a 4.5% royalty of the net sales with a cap of $2 million as compensation for the assignment of all Remedent patents. No royalties have been paid and the balance owed has been accruing in the general ledger and as of March 31, 2002 the total due is $52,421. In connection with the sale of the Remedent Toothbrush division on March 14, 2002, the purchaser will be assuming this obligation and the underlying agreement.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
 
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
REMEDENT USA, INC.
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Remedent USA, Inc. as of March 31, 2002, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the year ended March 31, 2002. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
 
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Remedent USA, Inc. as of March 31, 2002, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations, has a net working capital deficiency, and its total liabilities exceed its total assets, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regards to these matters are also described in Note 15. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1.    General
 
Remedent USA, Inc. (the “Company”) is engaged in the distribution of high technology professional dental equipment. The Company was originally incorporated on September 30, 1996 in the state of Arizona, and has offices in Encino, California and Ghent, Belgium.
 
On October 2, 1998 Remedent USA (“Remedent”) merged with Resort World Enterprises, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“RWE”). The surviving Company was RWE and immediately changed the name of the Corporation to Remedent USA, Inc. The exchange was a “reverse merger” and accounted for as a recapitalization of Remedent. As a result of the merger, RWE obtained all of the issued and outstanding stock of Remedent for approximately 79% of the new Remedent USA, Inc. stock. Financial statements for the pre-merger periods are the historical financial statements of Remedent.
 
On July 1, 2001, the Company formed three wholly-owned subsidiaries, Remedent Professional Holdings, Inc., Remedent Professional, Inc. and Remedent NV. The Company markets the professional dental equipment through these subsidiaries.
 
On December 31, 2001, the Company discontinued the distribution of its patented tooth & gumbrush in anticipation for the upcoming sale of this division. On March 14, 2002, the Company reached an agreement for the sale of this division and is awaiting shareholder approval of the sale.
 
2.    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Basis for Presentation
 
The Company’s financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis of accounting, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These principles contemplate the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. 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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
 
Principles of Consolidation
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Remedent USA, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated. Corporate administrative costs are not allocated to subsidiaries.
 
Reclassifications
 
These financial statements reflect certain reclassifications made to the prior period balances to conform with the current year presentation.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 
Concentration of Credit Risk
 
Financial instruments, which potentially subject the company to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of trade accounts receivables. At March 31, 2002 and 2001, three customers accounted for 54% and 52%, respectively, of the Company’s trade receivables. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and normally does not require collateral to support accounts receivable.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
Sales are recorded when products are shipped to customers. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period that related sales are recorded.
 
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
 
Long-lived assets consist primarily of property and equipment. The recoverability of long-lived assets is evaluated by an analysis of operating results and consideration of other significant events or changes in the business environment. If impairment exists, the carrying amount of the long-lived assets is reduced to its estimated fair value, less any costs associated with the final settlement. As of March 31, 2002, management believes there was no impairment of the Company’s long-lived assets.
 
Pervasiveness of 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 at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The significant estimates made in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements relate to the assessment of the carrying value of accounts receivable, inventories and estimated provision for returns. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less to be cash or cash equivalents.
 
Accounts Receivable
 
The Company sells professional dental equipment to various companies, primarily to distributors located throughout the world. The terms of sales vary by customer, however, generally are 2% 10 days, net 30 days. Accounts receivable is reported at net realizable value and net of allowance for doubtful accounts. As of March 31, 2002 and March 31, 2001 the allowance for doubtful accounts was $0 and $1,000, respectively. The Company uses the allowance method to account for uncollectable accounts receivable. The Company’s estimate is based on historical collection experience and a review of the current status of trade accounts receivable.
 
Customers Outside of the United States
 
Sales to foreign customers were 93% and 59% of total sales in the years ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively
 
Research and Development Costs
 
The Company expenses research and development costs as incurred.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 
Advertising Costs
 
Costs incurred for producing and communicating advertising are expensed when incurred and included in selling, general and administrative expenses. For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, consolidated advertising expense amounted to $21,459 and $127,341, respectively.
 
Income Taxes
 
Income taxes, are provided in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 (SFAS 109), “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Deferred taxes are recognized for temporary differences in the basis of assets and liabilities for financial statement and income tax reporting as well as for operating losses and credit carry forwards. A provision has been made for income taxes due on taxable income and for the deferred taxes on the temporary differences. The components of the deferred tax asset and liability are individually classified as current and non-current based on their characteristics.
 
Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
 
Impact of New Accounting Standards
 
Statement of Financial Standards (“SFAS”) Nos. 141 “Business Combinations” is effective for business combinations after June 30, 2001. It requires that the “purchase method” of accounting be used to account for all business combinations and specifies criteria for an acquired intangible asset to be recognized separately from goodwill. SFAS No. 142 is effective for financial statements beginning after December 15, 2000. It requires that goodwill no longer be amortized, but tested for impairment on an annual basis. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS Nos. 141 and 142 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002.
 
Computation of Earnings Per Share
 
Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Net income (loss) per common share attributable to common stockholders assuming dilution is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all dilutive potential common shares had been issued. Potential common shares related to stock options and stock warrants are excluded from the computation when their effect is antidilutive.
 
Common shares related to stock options and stock warrants that are antidilutive amounted to 6,819,000 and 0 for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
 
Accounting for Stock Based Compensation
 
Stock option grants are set at the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the day prior to the date of grant. Therefore, under the principles of APB Opinion No. 25, the Company does not recognize compensation expense associated with the grant of stock options. SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” requires the use of option valuation models to provide supplemental information regarding options granted after 1994.

4.    Due from Related Party
 
On February 12, 2002, the Remedent NV entered into a loan agreement for € 125,000, with a company owned and operated by Guy De Vreese, a Company officer. The agreement was entered into in connection with a line of credit established with the Bank Brussel Lambert (“BBL”) for € 250,000 (see Note 10). Due to the insufficient assets maintained by the Company as of inception date of the line of credit, the BBL imposed two requirements for the extension of credit; (1) Mr. De Vreese personally guarantee the line of credit, and (2) the company owned by Mr. De Vreese repay its existing line of credit in full. As such, the loan received was utilized to repay the existing line of credit. Repayment of the loan will occur upon the Company’s ability to provide sufficient assets to replace the personal guarantee of Mr. De Vreese.

6.    Goodwill
 
On January 15, 2002, Remedent NV acquired International Medical & Dental Support (“IMDS”), a dental practitioner outsourcing firm. The firm specializes in the outsourcing of Belgium dentists into the Dutch dental market. With the closing of numerous universities and the increasing limitations on the number of dentistry students, the Dutch market is experiencing a significant deficit in dentists, resulting in excess demand for qualified practitioners, and waiting lists in Holland of 8 to 12 weeks. Belgium dentists are in the highest of demand due to the region’s extremely close proximity, higher degree of education and compatibility with local languages and culture.
 
The results of IMDS’ operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements since that date of acquisition. The Company will utilize the connection to dental offices within the European market to provide inroads for its professional dental technology.
 
The acquisition was for a total of 6,000,000 shares of common stock, valued at $330,000. The value of the common shares issued was determined based on the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of acquisition. As the firm was, and currently is, in the development stage, there were no assets and liabilities as of the acquisition date. As a result, the balance of the purchase price was allocated to goodwill. As of March 31, 2002, management assessed the present value of the projected cash flows of the acquired business, and believes there was no impairment of the goodwill.

9.    Net Liabilities to be Sold
 
On March 27, 2002, the Board of Directors approved an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) entered into by the Company on March 14, 2002 with Famcare 2000, LLC, (“Famcare”) a Nevada limited liability company. The Agreement provides for the sale of the Company’s Remedent Tooth & Gumbrush business (the “Toothbrush Business”) which accounted for approximately $50,000 in revenues for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002.

F-12


REMEDENT USA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 
The business, which engages in the worldwide distribution of the Remedent Tooth & Gumbrush, had been the sole activity of the Company since its creation in 1996. However, due to recurring net losses and increasing working capital and shareholder deficits, the Company implemented, in July 2001, a complete corporate reorganization plan. This plan included the ceasing of direct sales and marketing of the Remedent Tooth & Gumbrush, and acquisition of and expansion into diversified business ventures.
 
As further discussed in Note 16, the Company has been developing technologies for introduction within the professional dental equipment market, and initiated shipments of its first product, a high-speed dental curing light, in the first quarter 2002. Additionally, also during the first quarter of 2002, the Company completed the acquisition of a dental employee outsourcing firm in Belgium (see Note 6).
 
In connection with the Company’s shift in focus to high technology professional dental equipment, the Company discontinued the operations of the Toothbrush Business on December 31, 2001, in anticipation of the sale. The Company felt continued dedication to this business would not be in its shareholders’ best interest. Additionally, with the business generating recurring net losses and raising deficits, Company resources can be more effectively utilized within these new markets. Throughout the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002, as the Company had been experiencing significant working capital shortages, the Company had been downsizing this business in anticipation of a sale or license of these operations. As such, the volume of the business, revenues and expenses, had been significantly reduced from previous fiscal years. Further, with the cost reduction measures taken, aside from the cost of the toothbrush, the overhead of the entire business include solely related party expenses of the salary of the sole employee, Rob Hegemann, and the allocated cost of the use of his personal residence as the primary place of operation for this business. As a result, the business has not been accruing expenses upon its shutdown on January 1, 2002.
 
In accordance with Article 210.11-02(a) of Regulation S-X, the following narrative description of the pro-forma adjustments related to the sale of the Company’s Toothbrush Business is made a part of the Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. Pro-forma five-year information required by Item 301 of Regulation S-K, in the opinion of management, is not applicable as prior to April 1, 2001, the Company sole business was the Toothbrush Business. Effective April 1, 2001, the Company began operating a professional high-technology dental equipment business and during the fourth fiscal quarter of 2002, entered into the dental employee leasing business. During the fiscal years ended March 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, which represent the entirety of the fiscal years publicly reported by the Company, the sole operating business was the Toothbrush Business.
 
The preparation of pro-forma financial disclosures requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and results of operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The sale of the Company’s Toothbrush Business positions the Company to operate on a going-forward basis as a developer and marketer of high-technology dental equipment.
 
The transaction proposed will effectively sell all of the assets of the Tooth & Gumbrush division as well as obligate the Buyer to be responsible for the Company’s liabilities relating to the division. The business accounted for approximately $50,000 in revenues, from unit sales, for the fiscal nine months ending December 31, 2001, and approximately $440,000 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2001.

10.    Line of Credit
 
On February 11, 2002, Remedent N.V., entered into a €1,241,000 Line of Credit Facility (the “Facility”) with the BBL, consisting of a €991,000 accounts receivable factoring line of credit and a €250,000 general line of credit. The factoring line of credit, to be secured by qualifying accounts receivable, will provide the Company 75% of the amount of qualifying invoices up to the maximum credit line. For each qualifying invoice, the BBL will assume all collection duties and charge a 0.47% fee on the invoice amount for these services. Advances on this line will bear interest at a rate of prime + 2.5%. As of March 31, 2002, no amounts were outstanding on this line of credit. The general line of credit is secured by the personal assets of an officer of the Company, and bears interest at a rate of prime + 2.5%. As of March 31, 2002, $137,866 was outstanding under this line of credit.
 
11.    Notes Payable
 
Since the commencement of operations, the Company has borrowed various amounts from shareholders to provide working capital and fund operations. These borrowings are in the form of unsecured convertible debentures, due on demand and bearing an interest rate of 10%. In addition, at the sole discretion of the holder, the debenture is convertible into common stock at a percentage between 30% and 37.5% of the average trading price for the stock for the 30 day period immediately prior to the maturity date. As of March 31, 2002 and 2001, $10,583 and $2,489, respectively, was accrued for unpaid interest.
 
On December 11, 1998, the Company entered into a one-year Promissory Note for $50,000 with a bank, bearing interest at 10.25% annually.

Compensation cost for stock options is measures as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the Company’s stock at the date of the grant over the exercise price. Had compensation cost for these plans been determined based on the fair value of the grant dates, as prescribed by SFAS No. 123, net loss and net loss per share would have been as follows:

15.    Going Concern
 
The Company has incurred substantial net losses since inception, and as of March 31, 2002 and 2001 maintained a working capital and shareholders’ deficit of ($1,121,304) and ($728,292), respectively, raising substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has reassessed its operations and business structure and has implemented a complete corporate reorganization plan.
 
The plan includes the ceasing of direct sales and marketing of the Remedent Toothbrush, and acquisition of and expansion into diversified business ventures.
 
On July 1, 2001, the Company began developing, manufacturing, marketing and distributing high-technology dental equipment. The Company retained 9 additional personnel, 2 engineers and 7 operations and finance, with strong backgrounds in the business of high-technology dental equipment, and will market dental curing and whitening lamps, interoral cameras and digital X-ray systems. The Company previewed its first offering within this market at dental shows around the world in October 2001, and initiated shipments of initial units during the first quarter of 2002. Additionally, on January 15, 2002, the Company acquired a dental employee outsourcing firm in Belgium, specializing in the placement of Belgium dentists into the Dutch dental market.
 
In connection with the Company’s shift in focus to high technology professional dental equipment, the Company discontinued the operations of the Toothbrush Business on December 31, 2001, and on March 14, 2002, the Company entered into an agreement to sell the business to a third party distributor. The Company felt continued dedication to this business would not be in its shareholders’ best interest. Additionally, with the business generating recurring net losses and raising deficits, Company resources can be more effectively utilized within these new markets. Throughout the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002, as the Company had been experiencing significant working capital shortages, the Company had been downsizing this business in anticipation of a sale or license of these operations. As such, the volume of the business, revenues and expenses, had been significantly reduced from previous fiscal years.
 
Upon the completion of its reorganization plan, the Company’s objective is to become a leading developer and manufacturer of high-technology dental equipment and operator of employee leasing firms, capitalizing on the synergies and marketing inroads each division provides
 
Management believes that if the Company can complete its restructuring plan, the Company can generate sufficient revenues and cash flows to sustain operations. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in its efforts and if unsuccessful in its efforts, it may be necessary to undertake other actions to preserve asset value. The financial statements do not include adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
 
16.    Subsequent Events
 
In May 2002, the Company completed a $30,000 private placement, selling an aggregate of 375,000 shares of common stock at $0.08 a share, and warrants to purchase 75,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share for 5 years.
 
In May 2002, the Company negotiated for the full repayment of the indebtedness to its previous independent accountants, $32,650, with the issuance of 150,000 shares of common stock.
 
In May 2002, the Company negotiated for the full repayment of indebtedness to its investment bankers, $10,000, with the issuance of 125,000 shares of common stock.
 
In May 2002, the Company negotiated for the full repayment of the principal balance of the $100,000 short-term working capital loan, $77,778 as of May 2002, subsequent to the March and April principal payments as agreed to on December 21, 2001, with the issuance of 1,400,000 shares of common stock.
 
In May 2002, the Company negotiated for the full repayment of the principal and interest of the $20,000 short-term working capital loan, with the issuance of 410,000 shares of common stock.
