ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

On December 20, 1999, Zila, Inc. (the "Company"), through its wholly owned
subsidiary, Integrated Dental Technologies, Inc. ("IDT"), completed the sale of
substantially all of IDT's assets and liabilities related to its PracticeWorks
division located in Gold River, California to InfoCure, Corporation
("InfoCure"), of Atlanta, Georgia for approximately $4.7 million. InfoCure is a
national provider of healthcare practice management software products and
services to targeted healthcare practice specialties and is listed on the NASDAQ
under the symbol INCX.

Under the terms of the agreement, the purchase price will be subject to
adjustment based on the net worth of the PracticeWorks division as of November
30, 1999, which will be determined over the next 60 days. In addition, ten
percent (10%) of the sales price will be held in escrow for one year in order to
secure the representations, warranties, and covenants made by the Company to
InfoCure. It is currently estimated that the adjusted sales price will be
approximately $4.6 million.

As previously disclosed in Form 10K/A for the fiscal year ended July 31, 1999,
on October 28, 1999, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Cygnus Imaging
("Cygnus"), completed the sale of substantially all of its assets and certain of
its liabilities to Procare Laboratories, Inc. ("Procare"), of Scottsdale,
Arizona for approximately $4.0 million. Procare is controlled by the former
owner and President of Cygnus, Egidio Cianciosi. The purchase price was paid
through the issuance to the Company of a note collateralized by the assets of
Procare. The note was paid in full on November 10, 1999. The sale resulted in a
$139,000 gain which was recognized in the Company's financial statements for the
period ended October 31, 1999.
