                 NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                     (Unaudited)

Note 1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial reporting and the requirements of Form 10-Q and Rule 10.01 of
Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include certain information and note
disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for annual
financial reporting and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report of Cantel
Industries, Inc. (the "Company" or "Cantel") on Form 10-K for the fiscal year
ended July 31, 1997, and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations included elsewhere herein.  Cantel has two
wholly-owned subsidiaries, Carsen Group Inc. ("Carsen"), its Canadian
subsidiary, and MediVators, Inc. ("MediVators"), its United States subsidiary.

     The unaudited interim financial statements reflect all adjustments which
management considers necessary for a fair presentation of the results of
operations for these periods.  The results of operations for the interim periods
are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.

     The condensed consolidated balance sheet at July 31, 1997 was  derived from
the audited consolidated balance sheet of the Company at that date.

     Certain items in the January 31, 1997 financial statements have been
reclassified from statements previously presented to conform to the presentation
of the January 31, 1998 financial statements.

Note 2.   EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

     Basic earnings per common share are computed based upon the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

     Diluted earnings per common share are computed based upon the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during  the period plus the dilutive
effect of options and warrants using the treasury stock method and the average
market price for the period.              


                                          4

                     ---------   ---------   ---------   ---------

     Earnings per common share for the three and six month periods ended January
31, 1997 have been restated in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share", which standard has been adopted by the
Company effective January 1, 1998 and requires the presentation of basic and
diluted earnings per common share.

Note 3.   FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS

     The Company has two credit facilities, a $5,000,000 revolving credit
facility for Carsen and a $1,500,000 revolving credit facility for MediVators.  

     Pursuant to the terms of the Carsen revolving credit facility, borrowings
under such facility must be paid in full no later than December 31, 1999. 
Borrowings outstanding at January 31, 1998 and July 31, 1997 are in Canadian
dollars and bear interest at rates ranging from lender's Canadian prime rate to
 .75% above the prime rate, depending upon Carsen's debt to equity ratio.  At
January 31, 1998, the lender's Canadian prime rate was 6.0% and Carsen's
outstanding borrowings bear interest at such prime rate.  Subsequent to January
31, 1998, the lender's prime rate increased to 6.5% and Carsen's borrowings will
continue to bear interest at such prime rate.   A commitment fee on the unused
portion of this facility is payable in arrears at a rate of .25% per annum, with
interest on borrowings payable monthly.  There were $1,720,000 (U.S. dollars) of
borrowings outstanding under this facility at January 31, 1998.  

     Pursuant to the terms of the MediVators revolving credit facility,
borrowings under such facility must be paid in full no later than February 1,
1999.  Borrowings bear interest at 1.5% above the lender's United States prime
rate.  The lender's prime rate was 8.5% at January 31, 1998.  A commitment fee
on the unused portion of this facility is payable in arrears at a rate of .5%
per annum,  with  interest on borrowings  payable monthly.   There were 

                                          5

<PAGE>

$532,000 of borrowings outstanding under this facility at January 31, 1998.

     Each of the credit facilities provides for restrictions on available
borrowings based primarily upon percentages of eligible accounts receivable and
inventories; requires the subsidiary to meet certain financial covenants; are
secured by substantially all assets of the subsidiary; and are guaranteed by
Cantel.

Note 4.   INCOME TAXES

     Income taxes primarily consist of income taxes imposed on the Company's 
Canadian operations.  The effective tax rate on Canadian operations was 44.9% 
and 44.6% for the six months ended January 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.  
For the six months ended January 31, 1997, the consolidated effective tax 
rate is higher than the Canadian effective tax rate due to the fact that 
losses generated by the combined U.S. operations could not be used to offset 
income generated by the Canadian operations.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
          CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The results of operations reflect the results of the Company's wholly-owned
Canadian subsidiary, Carsen Group Inc. ("Carsen" or "Canadian subsidiary") and
its wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary, MediVators, Inc. ("MediVators" or "United
States subsidiary").  The ensuing discussion should also be read in conjunction
with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31,
1997.

     The following table gives information as to the net sales and the
percentage to the total net sales accounted for by each operating segment of the
Company.

     Net sales increased by $603,000, or 6.3%, to $10,214,000 for the three
months ended January 31, 1998, from $9,611,000 for the three months ended
January 31, 1997.  Net sales increased by $1,380,000, or 8.1%, to $18,406,000
for the six months ended January 31, 1998, from $17,026,000 for the six months
ended January 31, 1997.  These increases were principally attributable to
increased sales of Consumer Products, partially offset by decreased sales of
Medical and Infection Control Products.

     The increased sales of Consumer Products for the three and six months ended
January 31, 1998 were primarily attributable to stronger demand for certain 35
mm and digital camera models and related accessories, some of which were not
available during the comparable fiscal 1997 periods.  The decreased sales of
Medical and Infection Control Products for the three and six months ended
January 31, 1998 were primarily attributable to a decrease in demand for medical
products, partially offset by an increase in demand for infection control
products.   


                                            7

     Gross profit increased by $109,000, or 3.3%, to $3,427,000 for the three
months ended January 31, 1998, from $3,318,000 for the three months ended
January 31, 1997.  Gross profit increased by $257,000, or 4.4%, to $6,117,000
for the six months ended January 31, 1998, from $5,860,000 for the six months
end January 31, 1997.  The gross profit margins for the three and six months
ended January 31, 1998 were 33.6% and 33.2%, respectively, compared with 34.5%
and 34.4% for the three and six months ended January 31, 1997.  The lower gross
profit margins were primarily attributable to more competitive sales of medical
products and increased sales of consumer products, which generally have lower
profit margins.  These margin decreases were partially offset by an increase in
certain types of endoscope repairs which generally produce higher margins.

     Shipping and warehouse expenses increased by $6,000 to $168,000 for the
three months ended January 31, 1998, from $162,000 for the three months ended
January 31, 1997.  For the six months ended January 31, 1998, shipping and
warehouse expenses increased by $8,000 to $311,000, from $303,000 for the six
months ended January 31, 1997.  

     Selling expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased to 11.3% and 11.4%
for the three and six months ended January 31, 1998, from 11.8% and 11.9% for
the three and six months ended January 31, 1997.  These decreases were
principally attributable to the impact of the increased  sales for the three and
six months ended January 31, 1998 against the fixed portion of these expenses,
partially offset by an increase in advertising costs.

     General and administrative expenses increased by $70,000 to $1,006,000 for
the three months ended January 31, 1998, from $936,000 for the three months
ended January 31, 1997.  For the six months ended January 31, 1998, general and
administrative expenses increased by $65,000 to $1,838,000, from $1,773,000 for
the six months ended January 31, 1997.  These increases were primarily
attributable to increased personnel costs and regulatory compliance costs for
ISO 9000 certification.

     Research and development expenses increased by $16,000 to $187,000 for the
three months ended January 31, 1998, from $171,000 for the three months ended
January 31, 1997.  For the six months ended January 31, 1998, research and
development expenses increased by $95,000 to $377,000, from $282,000 for the six
months ended January 31, 1997.  These increases were substantially due to the
ongoing development of infection control products at MediVators.

     Interest expense increased to $49,000 for the three months ended January
31, 1998, from $45,000 for the three months ended January 31, 1997.  For the six
months ended January 31, 1998, interest expense decreased to $82,000, from
$92,000 for the six months ended January 31, 1997.    


                                            8

     Income before income taxes increased by $22,000 to $1,402,000 for the six
months ended January 31, 1998, from $1,380,000 for the six months ended January
31, 1997.

     Income taxes primarily consist of income taxes imposed on the Company's 
Canadian operations.  The effective tax rate on Canadian operations was 44.9% 
and 44.6% for the six months ended January 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.  
For the six months ended January 31, 1997, the consolidated effective tax 
rate is higher than the Canadian effective tax rate due to the fact that 
losses generated by the combined U.S. operations could not be used to offset 
income generated by the Canadian operations.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     At January 31, 1998, the Company's working capital was $12,011,000,
compared with $11,106,000 at July 31, 1997.  This increase primarily reflects
decreases in accounts payable and income taxes payable, partially offset by a
decrease in accounts receivable.  

     Net cash used in operating activities was $596,000 for the six months ended
January 31, 1998, compared with net cash provided by operating activities of
$857,000 for the six months ended January 31, 1997.  For the six months ended
January 31, 1998, the net cash used in operating activities was primarily due to
decreases in accounts payable and accrued expenses and income taxes payable, and
an increase in inventories, partially offset by income from operations after
adjusting for depreciation and amortization and a decrease in accounts
receivable.  For the six months ended January 31, 1997, the net cash provided by
operating activities was primarily due to income from operations after adjusting
for depreciation and amortization and an increase in accounts payable and
accrued expenses, partially offset by increases in accounts receivable and
inventories.  

     Net cash used in investing activities was $189,000 for the six months ended
January 31, 1998 and $98,000 for the six months ended January 31, 1997 which was
principally due to additions to property and equipment.      

     Net cash provided by financing activities was $699,000 for the six months
ended January 31, 1998, compared with net cash used in financing activities of
$599,000 for the six months ended January 31, 1997.  These changes were
principally due to the fluctuations in outstanding borrowings under the
Company's revolving credit facilities, partially offset during the six months
ended January 31, 1997 by proceeds from the exercise of stock options and
warrants.  

     The Company has two credit facilities, a $5,000,000 revolving credit
facility for Carsen and a $1,500,000 revolving credit 


                                            9

<PAGE>

facility for MediVators as described in Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements.

     A decrease in the value of the Canadian dollar against the United States
dollar could adversely affect the Company because the Company's Canadian
subsidiary purchases substantially all of its products in United States dollars
and sells its products in Canadian dollars.  Under the Canadian credit facility,
the Company's Canadian subsidiary has a foreign exchange hedging facility of up
to $15,000,000 (U.S. dollars) which could be used to minimize future adverse
currency fluctuations as they relate to purchases of inventories.  The Canadian
subsidiary has foreign exchange forward  contracts at March 6, 1998 aggregating
$6,000,000 (U.S. dollars) to hedge against the decline in the value of the
Canadian dollar which would otherwise result in higher inventory costs.  Such
contracts represented the Canadian subsidiary's projected purchases of
inventories through May 1998.  The average exchange rate of the contracts open
at March 6, 1998 was $1.3596 Canadian dollar per United States dollar, or $.7355
United States dollar per Canadian dollar.  The exchange rate published by the
Wall Street Journal on March 6, 1998, was $1.4198 Canadian dollar per United
States dollar, or $.7043 United States dollar per Canadian dollar.  Such adverse
currency fluctuations could also result in a corresponding adverse change in the
United States dollar value of the Company's assets that are denominated in
Canadian dollars.  During the six months ended January 31, 1998, such adverse
currency fluctuations reduced stockholders' equity by $510,000.

     The Company believes that its anticipated cash flow from operations and the
funds available under the credit facilities will
be sufficient to satisfy the Company's cash operating requirements for its
existing operations for the foreseeable future.  At March 6, 1998, $3,911,000
was available under the credit facilities.

     Inflation has not significantly impacted the Company's operations.
