ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

         On October 6, 2000, Carsen Group Inc. ("Carsen"), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Cantel Medical Corp., closed a transaction under an Asset Purchase
Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with Olympus America Inc. ("OAI") pursuant
to which Carsen terminated its consumer products business and sold its
inventories of Olympus consumer products to OAI. The transaction had an
effective date of July 31, 2000.

         The purchase price for the inventory was approximately $1,026,000, net
of adjustments related to prospective warranty claims and promotional program
expenses payable to Carsen's customers. Carsen will receive additional
consideration from OAI under the Purchase Agreement, including amounts related
to transition services provided by Carsen subsequent to July 31, 2000. Such
consideration includes (i) fixed cash amounts aggregating approximately $615,000
and (ii) twelve and one-half percent (12 1/2%) of OAI's net sales of Olympus
consumer products in Canada in excess of $8,000,000 during the period August 1,
2000 through March 31, 2001. Such amounts are payable on various dates through
April 30, 2001. OAI also reimbursed Carsen for certain expenses related to the
termination of Carsen's consumer products business.

         In addition, on October 6, 2000 Carsen and OAI amended their existing
distribution agreement (the "Agreement")to provide that Carsen will have the
continued exclusive Canadian rights for marketing, distributing and servicing
Olympus medical endoscopy equipment, precision instruments and industrial
equipment through March 31, 2004. If Carsen fulfills its obligations under the
Agreement, the parties will establish new minimum purchase requirements and
extend the Agreement through March 31, 2006.
