Thursday December 13, 4:00 am Eastern Time Press Release SOURCE: BIOLASE Technology, Inc. BIOLASE Projects Record Fourth Quarter Sales SAN CLEMENTE, Calif., Dec. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- BIOLASE Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: BLTI - news), a medical technology company focused on the dental laser market, today announced that sales for the fourth quarter of 2001 are projected to exceed $5.25 million (most recent analyst projection). The Company announced that orders and shipments of both the Waterlase(TM) and the LaserSmile(TM) systems continue to increase despite setbacks caused by the weakened U.S. economy and the cancellation of two important selling events during the quarter. The California Dental Association's Scientific Fall Session/San Francisco and the genR8Tnext meeting/Las Vegas, both scheduled for September 13-16, were cancelled as a result of the September 11 terrorist attacks. ``Our sales continue to grow and we expect the three months ending December 31, 2001 to be another record-setting quarter. Our strong sales are a testament to our superior technology and to a growing acceptance of our products by the dental community,'' commented Jeffrey W. Jones, BIOLASE president and CEO. ``We are closing out the fourth quarter on a strong note, and BIOLASE remains positioned for dynamic growth despite economic concerns. We expect demand for dental laser technology to continue to grow as professionals become increasingly aware of and attracted to the numerous revenue and clinical benefits afforded by our technology.''
