Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 1

      The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have
been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations for reporting on Form 10-Q.
Accordingly, certain information and disclosures required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements are not included herein.
The interim statements should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and notes thereto included in the Company's latest Form 10K. In the
Company's opinion, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of these
interim statements have been included and are of a normal and recurring nature.

NOTE 2

      Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted
earnings per share is computed in a similar manner except that the weighted
average number of common shares is increased for dilutive securities.
Potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the calculation of
earnings per share for the quarters ended March 26, 2000 and March 28, 1999,
because the effect would be antidilutive.

NOTE 3

      Certain items in the 1999 financial statements have been reclassified to
conform with the 2000 presentation of the financial statements.

                    (Dollars in Thousands, except per share)

Results of Operations

      Revenues for the three months ended March 26, 2000 remained unchanged at
$7,699 compared to $7,715 for the three months ended March 28, 1999. Additional
revenues from new customers and increased revenues from existing customers were
offset by revenues lost resulting from the non-renewal and cancellation of
contracts.

      Gross profit, defined as revenues less cost of revenues, decreased to
$1,042 or 13.5% for the three months ended March 26, 2000 compared with $1,464
or 19.0% for the three months ended March 28, 1999. The decline was due to an
increase in operating expenses. Contract pricing was not raised in an effort to
maintain market share.

      Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $354 to $1,324
for the three months ended March 26, 2000 compared to $970 for the three months
ended March 28, 1999. The increase was primarily the result of investments in
infrastructure, information systems and sales force development.

      Interest expense increased by $229 to $391 for the three months ended
March 26, 2000 compared to $162 for the three months ended March 28, 1999. This
increase was the result of increased borrowings from affiliates and an increase
in average interest rates to approximately 9.8% in the first quarter of 2000,
compared to approximately 8% in the first quarter of 1999.

      Net loss for the three months ended March 26, 2000 was $438 compared to
net income of $226 for the three months ended March 28, 1999. Basic and diluted
earnings per share in the three months ended March 26, 2000 represented a net
loss per share of $0.02, compared to a net earnings per share of $0.01 in the
three months ended March 28, 1999.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

      Current assets decreased $1,177 to $7,690 at March 26, 2000 from $8,867 at
December 26, 1999. The Company had working capital of approximately $3,773 at
March 26, 2000, compared to working capital of approximately $4,486 at December
26, 1999. The decrease in the Company's current assets and working capital at
March 26, 2000 compared to December 26, 1999 was primarily the result of a
reduction in accounts receivable.

      The Company continues to purchase surgical instruments and linen products
as required to support increases in business and adequately service existing
customers. In April 2000, the Company signed a ten-year lease for an
approximately 26,000 square foot property, for relocation of the McGaw Park,
Illinois facility. In May 2000, the Company signed a ten-year lease extension
for its Syosset, NY facility. Commitments under these operating leases aggregate
approximately $7,700. The Company also expects to invest approximately $1,700 in
leasehold


                                       7

improvements and equipment to relocate and expand the McGaw Park facility.
Funding for these initiatives is expected to be provided by Teleflex,
Incorporated.

      The Company believes that the anticipated future cash flow from
operations, along with its cash on hand and available funding from its major
shareholder will be sufficient to meet future working capital and capital
expenditure requirements. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company
will not require additional working capital and, if it does require such
capital, that such capital will be available to the Company on acceptable terms,
if at all.

Certain Factors That May Affect Future Results

      From time to time, information provided by the Company, statements made by
its employees or information included in its filings with the Securities
Exchange Commission (including this Form 10-Q) may contain statements which are
not historical facts, so-called "forward-looking statements," which involve
risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements are made pursuant to the
safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995;
in particular, statements relating to the sufficiency of funds for the Company's
future working capital requirements; the Company's expectation that future cash
flow will continue to be provided from operations; and the Company's present
belief that inflation will not have any significant impact on its business may
be forward-looking statements. The Company's actual future results may differ
significantly from those stated in any forward-looking statements. Factors that
may cause such differences include, but are not limited to, the factors
discussed below. Each of these factors, and others, are discussed from time to
time in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

      The Company's future results are subject to risks and uncertainties. The
Company may require additional working capital in the future and there can be no
assurance that such working capital will be available on acceptable terms, if at
all. The failure of the Company to continue to compete effectively with existing
or new competitors could result in price erosion, decreased margins and
decreased revenues, any or all of which could have a material adverse effect on
the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition.
Approximately 60% of the Company's healthcare provider customers are currently
concentrated in the Northeast Corridor. Any factors affecting this market
generally could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business,
results of operations and financial condition. The Company is subject to
government regulation in certain aspects of its operations. Changes in such
regulations could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business,
results of operations and financial condition.

      Future results of the Company will depend significantly on its ability to
successfully convince hospitals and other healthcare providers to utilize the
Company's instrument and linen sterilization services, endoscopic services and
sterile processing department management services as opposed to their own
resources. Hospitals may resist this change for a number of reasons, including
the preferences of hospital staffs which may wish to preserve their existing
staffing, labor unions which may resist any staffing reductions and the ongoing
consolidation of


                                       8
<PAGE>

hospitals which may impact the willingness of hospital administrators to make
operational decisions on a timely basis and which may affect a hospital's
decision to outsource sterile processing services as opposed to retaining one or
more of the consolidated hospital group's central sterilization facilities to
provide services for the entire group.

      The Company's quarterly and annual operating results are affected by a
wide variety of factors that could materially and adversely affect revenues and
profitability, including: competitive pressures on selling prices and margins;
the timing and cancellation of customer orders; the lengthy sales cycle of the
Company's services to healthcare organizations; the Company's ability to
maintain state-of-the-art sterilization facilities and the corresponding timing
and amount of capital expenditures, particularly if the Company executes its
plan for growth; and the introduction of new services by the Company's
competitors. As a result of the foregoing and other factors, the Company may
experience material fluctuations in future operating results on a quarterly or
annual basis which could materially and adversely effect its business, operating
results and stock price.
