                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (Unaudited)


NOTE 1   MANAGEMENT'S REPRESENTATION

In the opinion of Management,  the unaudited  financial  statements  contain all
adjustments  necessary to present  fairly the financial  position as of June 30,
1995 and the results of operations and cash flows for the period then ended.

NOTE 2   SHORT-TERM BANK BORROWINGS

On November  18,  1994 the Company  entered  into an amended  revolving  line of
credit agreement for $2,200,000  collateralized  by the sum of 80% of qualifying
accounts  receivable  plus 45% of  inventories.  Borrowings  based  on  eligible
inventories  have  a  fluctuating  maximum  allowable  balance  up to  $800,000.
Qualifying  accounts  receivable  and inventory used as a basis for the June 30,
1995 borrowing totaled $1,850,000.  Unused available credit at June 30, 1995 was
$355,000.  The amount of available  credit line is dependent upon the balance of
qualifying accounts receivable and inventory and is therefore subject to change.

Borrowings from this line bear interest at the Bank's  National  Commercial Rate
(BNCR) plus 2.25% (two and one-quarter  percent).  At June 30, 1995 the BNCR was
9.0%.  The interest  expense on  short-term  bank  borrowings  for 1995 and 1994
amounted to $41,890 and $36,726, respectively.

The terms of the  borrowing  agreement  state that the Company may not,  without
prior consent of the lender,  declare or pay any  dividends or incur  additional
debt or  obligations.  The  Company's  President,  Mr.  Don  Taylor,  personally
guaranteed  all  obligations  under  this  agreement  secured  by a lien  on his
personal assets.

On May 20,  1994 the Company  entered  into  agreements  with  Meridian  Bank to
restructure then existing financing agreements.  That amended line of credit had
a maximum principal amount of $1,600,000,  replacing the former $2,000,000.  The
rate  of  interest  on  this  line  was   calculated  at  the  BNCR  plus  2.5%.
Simultaneously, the Company negotiated a three year term loan of $400,000 at the
same interest rate, of which  principal of $11,111 and accrued  interest will be
paid in 36 monthly  installments  commencing June 1, 1994 and due in full May 1,
1997.

NOTE 3   LONG-TERM DEBT

On November 18, 1994,  coincident with the purchase of inventory from the Herwig
Division  of the  General  Medical  Corporation,  the  Company  entered  into an
additional short term borrowing  agreement with Meridian Bank which, on December
28, 1994,  was  converted to a 60 month  borrowing  arrangement.  The  long-term
agreement  with Meridian  Bank,  guaranteed by the United States Small  Business
Administration  (SBA), provided for the Company to borrow $700,000 with interest
at New York's Prime Rate plus 2.25% payable monthly.  The principal is repayable
in monthly  amounts  beginning in March 1995. The first three monthly  principal
payments were $50,000 and the remainder are $10,000 through December, 1999. This
loan is secured by the Herwig  inventory and all of the Company's other tangible
and intangible assets.

                                  (Unaudited)

NOTE 3   LONG-TERM DEBT, (continued)

Additional monthly principal payments are required if the outstanding  principal
on the loan exceeds 50% of the Herwig  inventory  value,  including  replacement
inventory purchased in the ordinary course of business. The prime rate was 9% at
June 30, 1995.

On May 20, 1994 the Company  negotiated a three year term loan of $400,000  with
Meridian Bank as described in Note 2 above as part of a general restructuring of
existing financing agreements.

The contract  under which Dental  Corporation  of America (DCA) was acquired was
renegotiated  in April 1992.  The  renegotiated  contract,  among other  things,
changed  the  payment  terms from three  fixed  $100,000  annual  payments  plus
interest and  royalties  based upon future sales to a fixed  monthly  payment of
$12,000 for one year  commencing  April 1, 1992 followed by a monthly payment of
$5,000 for six years commencing April 1, 1993. The gross payments and associated
liability under the new agreement are  substantially  the same as to those which
were recorded,  including  interest,  upon the acquisition of DCA.  Accordingly,
there has been no change to the financial  statements  in  connection  with this
renegotiation.  The new agreement did however  change the aggregate  prospective
maturities.

NOTE 4   BUSINESS OPERATIONS

The Company  imports and  distributes  under the Sklar,  Misdom-Frank  and other
trademarks hand-held,  non-electronic  instruments for the surgical,  dental and
veterinary fields.

On November 18, 1994 the Company  purchased the inventory of the Herwig Division
of the General Medical Corporation (GMC) for $871,922. In addition,  and as part
of the  purchase  agreement,  the Company  entered  into a  marketing  agreement
whereby the Company committed to supplying GMC with its medical instrument needs
for its customers for a fifty month term.  GMC is under no obligation to buy any
items  from the  Company  during  the term of the  agreement,  but if items  are
purchased by GMC the Company is obligated  to make certain  marketing  incentive
payments.

NOTE 5   INVENTORIES

Inventories  are  stated at the lower of cost  (first-in,  first-out  method) or
market.

NOTE 6   EQUIPMENT AND IMPROVEMENTS

Equipment and improvements are stated at cost less accumulated  depreciation and
amortization.  Depreciation  and  amortization  are  provided  generally  on the
straight-line  method over the useful lives of the assets which are estimated to
be three to ten years for  equipment and the shorter of the life of the lease or
the life of the asset for leasehold improvements.

NOTE 7   GOODWILL AND CATALOG DEVELOPMENT COSTS

Goodwill is amortized over twenty years, and catalog development costs are being
amortized over at various  schedules  ranging from 1 1/2 - 5 years for the three
month period ended June 30, 1995. For the three month period ended June 30, 1994
goodwill and catalog development costs were amortized over forty years and 1 1/2
- 7 years, respectively.

NOTE 8   INCOME TAXES

Income taxes  represent  the State tax due.  Federal  income  taxes  payable are
offset by net operating loss  carryforwards and goodwill is reduced  accordingly
to reflect the utilization of the loss carryforwards.  No tax loss carryforwards
exist to offset state income tax payable.

As a  result  of the  merger  of  Medco  Jewelry  Corporation  and  Misdom-Frank
Corporation,  management  believes  there  may be  federal  net  operating  loss
carry-forwards available to Medco Jewelry Corporation at the date of merger that
have transferred to Sklar Corporation.  Such loss  carry-forwards and additional
post-merger operating losses totaling approximately $3,850,000,  which expire in
1995  ($1,596,000),  1997  ($244,000),  1998  ($974,000),  1999 ($50,000),  2000
($14,000),  2001 ($461,000),  and 2002  ($511,000),  are available as deductions
from federal taxable income of future years.

NOTE 9   STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

As of June 30,  1995,  of the  1,500,000  shares  of  Common  Stock  authorized,
1,237,711 are outstanding.  Of the Series A Convertible  Preferred Stock, 24,825
shares are authorized and outstanding.

The Series A  Convertible  Preferred  Stock may be redeemed by the Company after
March 1,  1986 at a price of $100 per  share and is  entitled  to a  liquidation
preference  of $100 per share plus  cumulative  dividends.  Annual  dividends of
$12.50 per share accrue cumulatively on the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
commencing on July 1, 1984,  payable on June 30 of each year commencing June 30,
1985. No dividends have been declared in the years 1988 through 1995.

NOTE 10   SALES

A sale is recorded when title to the product passes to the customer.

NOTE 11   NET LOSS PER SHARE

Net loss per share is  computed by dividing  the net loss  applicable  to common
shares by the  weighted  average  number of shares of Common  Stock  outstanding
after giving effect to the ratably  accrued  preferred  dividend.  No effect has
been given to Common Stock equivalent shares as such would be anti-dilutive.

                       MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS


The following  discussion and analysis  provides  information  which  management
believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of the Company's results
of  operations  and  financial  condition.  The  discussion  should  be  read in
conjunction with the financial  statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere
herein.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the percentage of net
sales for certain items in the Company's Statements of Income for each period:

Income and Expense Items as Percentage of
Net Sales for the Quarter ended June 30

                                      1995        1994
                                      ----        ----

Net Sales                             100.0%     100.0%
Cost of Sales                          54.4       45.7
Gross Profit                           45.6       54.3
Selling, General and
  Admin. Expenses                      41.2       49.9
Income (Loss) Before
  Interest & Taxes                      4.4        4.4
Interest Expense                        4.0        3.9
Income Before
  Income Taxes                          0.4        0.5
Net Income                              0.2        0.4


SALES

For the three  month  period  ended June 30,  1995  compared  to the three month
period  ended June 30,  1994,  sales were up  $804,824 or 60.4%.  This  increase
reflects the impact of the marketing  agreement  entered into with the Company's
major customer and the success of the Company's  approach to build sales through
an emphasis on marketing and advertising.

COST OF SALES

Cost of sales as a percentage of sales increased 8.7% for the three month period
June 30, 1995  compared  to the three month  period  ended June 30,  1994.  This
increase  reflects  the higher  cost of  products  as a result of a weakened  US
dollar on foreign exchange rates and a diminishing profit margin as a percent of
sales due to increasing competitiveness in the health care industry.  Management
expects the business to continue to show a lower  profit  margin as a percent of
sales in future periods.

                               SKLAR CORPORATION
                       MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS


SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

Selling,  General and  Administrative  expenses for the three month period ended
June 30, 1995 have increased $271,280 or 40.9% from the three month period ended
June 30, 1994. The increase in these  expenditures  is a result of the Company's
commitment to an increased  marketing and  advertising  effort and the resulting
increased  personnel and advertising  costs. The increased sales volume has also
required certain of these increases.  Management  expects to continue this level
of expenditure in future periods.

INTEREST

Interest costs increased $ 32,606 or 63.0% for the three month period ended June
30, 1995 compared to the three month period ended June 30, 1994 due to increased
borrowing  levels.  Borrowing  increased  primarily as a result of the financing
necessary to purchase the  inventory of the Herwig  Division of General  Medical
Corporation and finance the resulting increased sales volume.

INCOME TAXES

Federal  income tax  expense is reduced  in both  periods by the  available  net
operating loss carryforwards. Income tax expense represents the state income tax
payable.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The  Company's  $2,200,000  revolving  line  of  credit  with  Meridian  Bank is
considered  adequate to meet the  financing  requirements  of the Company in the
foreseeable future.


                          PART II - OTHER INFORMATION


ITEM 1   LEGAL MATTERS

 (A) The  Company  has  filed  suit  against  the  former  principal  of DCA for
violating  terms of a non-compete  agreement  signed as part of a  re-negotiated
settlement for the purchase of DCA. This suit will seek the return of all monies
paid to the former principal to date. This case is currently in the pleading and
discovery  stage,  therefore,  no assessment of the outcome of the case has been
made by legal counsel.

Stock on June 30, 1988 through 1995.
