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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Revenues for the first quarter ended June 30, 1995 increased by $1,701,000, or
12%, from revenues in the first quarter of the prior year.  The increase in
revenues was primarily due to increased unit sales of hemoconcentrators and
hemofilters.  During the quarter the Company completed the acquisition of the
hemoconcentrator, hemofilter and dialysate filter product line from Amicon
Ireland Ltd.  Sales of the Amicon products totaled almost $500,000 in the first
quarter.  Sales of dialysis supplies increased due to a doubling of dialyzer
sales from one year ago.  Reprocessing product sales increased due primarily to
increased sales of reuse supplies which more than offset a decline in Renatron -
Registered Trademark- sales.

Net sales by product group are summarized on the following table:

Gross profit from product sales for the quarter ended June 30, 1995 was
$6,291,000, or 40.7% of net sales, compared to $5,857,000, or 42.9% of net
sales, for the first quarter last year.  The decline in margin from one year ago
was due primarily to increased manufacturing expenses related to expansion of
the fiber products manufacturing group.

Research and development expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 1995 totaled
$754,000, or 4.9% of total revenues, compared to $736,000, or 5.4% of total
revenues, in the first quarter one year ago.  The Company expects that total
research and development expenses for the fiscal year ending March 31,1996 will
approximate 6% of revenues.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 1995
were $3,579,000, or 23.2% of revenues, compared to $2,779,000, or 20.2% of
revenues, in the first quarter one year ago.  Selling, general and
administrative expenses have increased due to expansion of sales and
administrative staffs and expanded marketing efforts in the United States and
Europe.

The Company's effective income tax rate was 36.0% in the quarter ended June 30,
1995 compared to a rate of 35.9% in the first quarter of the prior year.

The Company reported net earnings of $1,193,000, or 7.7% of total revenues, for
the quarter ended June 30, 1995 compared to earnings of $1,545,000, or 11.2% of
total revenues, in the first quarter one year ago.  The decline in net earnings
and profitability was due to higher manufacturing expenses and increased
selling, general and administrative expenses during the quarter.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At June 30, 1995, the Company had $5,018,000 of cash, cash equivalents and
marketable securities, an increase of $530,000 from the balance at March 31,
1995.  Working capital at June 30, 1995 was $18,029,000 compared to $18,105,000
at March 31, 1995.  The increase in cash and working capital was due to funds
generated from profitable operations.  The Company's current ratio at June 30,
1995 was 3.7 to 1 compared to 4.6 to 1 at March 31,1995.

                                              Page 7 of 8

During the quarter the Company acquired the Amicon Ireland Ltd. hollow fiber
product lines for $1,402,000 in cash, payable in two cash installments in April
and July 1995.  The Company acquired $1,295,000 of capital equipment during the
quarter ended June 30, 1995 and expects to invest approximately $4,000,000 in
capital equipment for the full fiscal year.

The Company believes that its strong financial condition at June 30, 1995, along
with funds expected to be generated from operations, will be sufficient to meet
its working capital and capital equipment needs in fiscal year 1996.

                                                               Exhibit 10


                              MINNTECH CORPORATION
                        EMERITUS DIRECTOR CONSULTING PLAN

     THIS INSTRUMENT establishes the Minntech Corporation
Emeritus Director Consulting Plan (the "Plan") effective as of April 8, 1995.

     1.   PURPOSE OF PLAN.  The purpose of this Plan is to permit Minntech to
obtain the continued advice and counsel of certain outside directors after their
retirement from the Board of Directors.

     2.   DEFINITIONS.

          "Board of Directors" shall mean the Board of Directors of Minntech
Corporation.

          "Former Director" shall mean a non-employee member of the Board of
Directors who has served on the Board of Directors for at least five (5), full
consecutive years immediately prior to his/her retirement from the Board of
Directors.

          "Minntech" shall mean Minntech Corporation, a Minnesota corporation.

          "Participant" shall mean any Former Director who has been designated
by the Board of Directors as eligible for participation in the Plan for the next
following Plan Year in accordance with Section 3.

          "Plan Year" shall mean the twelve (12) month period commencing on
April 1 of each year and ending on March 31 of the following year.

     3.   ELIGIBILITY FOR A PLAN YEAR.  (a) At its last regularly scheduled
meeting for each Plan Year, the Board of Directors shall determine in its sole
discretion which Former Directors will be designated as Participants in the Plan
for the next Plan Year.  Designation as a Participant for a particular Plan Year
does not guarantee designation as a Participant for any other Plan Year.  If a
Former Director retires from the Board of Directors other than at the end of a
Plan Year, the initial decision regarding eligibility for participation in the
Plan shall be made at the next regularly scheduled meeting of the Board of
Directors following any such retirement and shall apply to that portion of the
Plan Year following the date such retirement occurred.




<PAGE>

          (b)  Each Former Director designated by the Board of Directors as a
Participant shall execute a written agreement in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit A to provide consulting services to Minntech's Board of Directors (a
"Consulting Agreement") for the Plan Year during which he/she will be
Participant and shall receive the payments provided under Section 4 for such
Plan Year.

          (c)  The Consulting Agreement shall provide that a Participant shall
make himself or herself available to advise and consult with the Board of
Directors upon request of the Board of Directors or the Chairman of the Board of
Directors.  The number of consulting hours required under the Consulting
Agreement shall not exceed six (6) hours per calendar quarter with an additional
eight hours annually as requested by the Chairman of the Board.

          (d)  During the Plan Year covered by the Consulting Agreement, the
status of the Participant shall be that of an independent contractor rather than
an employee, and the Participant shall not be eligible for any benefits provided
to employees of Minntech.

          (e)  A Former Director shall only be eligible for designation as a
Participant for a number of years equal to the number of full, consecutive
Fiscal Years that the individual served as a member of the Board of Directors.

     4.   PAYMENTS FOR CONSULTING.  The Consulting Agreement shall provide that
a Participant shall receive as payment for services thereunder, an amount equal
to the annual retainer in effect for members of the Board of Directors at the
time the Participant retired from the Board of Directors (the "Consulting
Compensation").  Such payment shall not include any amounts equal to per meeting
fees or any other compensation the Participant received for services while on
the Board of Directors.   The Consulting Compensation shall be paid to the
Participant in equal quarterly installments on the first day of each quarter of
the Plan Year for which the Former Director has been designated a Participant.

     5.   Cessation of Payments.  Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4,
payments to any Participant shall cease upon the earliest of the following
events:

     (a)  The Participant dies.

     (b)  The Participant is unable or refuses to perform his or her duties
under the Consulting Agreement.

     (c)  The Participant commits any act which constitutes a felony or gross
misdemeanor or which the Board of Directors determines in its sole discretion is
harmful to the business, operations or reputation of Minntech.




<PAGE>

     6.   FUNDING.  Nothing in is this Plan shall be construed as permitting a
Participant to claim any security for the fulfilling of the obligations of
Minntech hereunder, and such Participant shall look only to the general assets
of Minntech for the satisfaction of Minntech's obligations.  The Plan shall not
be construed as requiring Minntech, and Minntech shall not required, to invest
in any property to secure its obligations hereunder.  If Minntech invests in
property to fund its obligations under this Plan, Minntech shall be the sole
owner of such property, and the Participant shall have no rights in such
property.

     7    MISCELLANEOUS.

     7.1  LIABILITY.  No director of Minntech shall be personally liable by
virtue of any contract, agreement or other instrument made or executed by the
director or on his or her behalf as a Participant under this Plan, nor for any
mistake of judgement made by such director or any other director, nor for any
negligence, omission or wrongdoing of any other director or of anyone employed
by Minntech, nor for any loss, unless resulting from his or her own gross
negligence or willful misconduct.  In addition,  Minntech does not assure or
guarantee the tax consequences of payments provided hereunder or other matters
beyond its control.

     7.2  AMENDMENTS.  Minntech reserves the right to amend or modify, in whole
or in part, any or all of the provisions of this Plan at any time by action of
the Board of Directors.

     7.3  TERMINATION.  Continuation of the Plan is not a contractual obligation
of Minntech, and the right is reserved by Minntech to reduce, suspend or
discontinue the Plan at any time by action of the Board of Directors.

     7.4  ASSIGNMENT AND LEVY.  The Plan is for the benefit of the Participants
and the rights, privileges and benefits herein conferred shall not, to the
extent permitted by law, be subject to alienation, assignment, pledge, levy,
attachment, garnishment or other legal process or in any manner anticipated,
encumbered, committed, withdrawn or surrendered, and neither shall the same be
subject or liable in any way for debts, contracts, or agreements or other claims
of creditors of such Participants whether such claims are now contracted or may
hereafter be contracted or incurred.

     7.5  RIGHTS OF PARTICIPANTS.  The Plan shall not be construed as creating
nor does it create any legal or equitable right against Minntech unless such
right is specifically provided for in the Plan.




<PAGE>

     7.6  INCOMPETENCY.  Every person receiving or claiming payments under the
Plan shall be conclusively presumed to be mentally competent until the date on
which Minntech receives a written notice in a form and manner acceptable to
Minntech that such person is incompetent and that a guardian, conservator or
other person legally vested with the care of his or her estate has been
appointed.  In such event, Minntech may direct payments to such guardian
conservator or other person legally vested with the care of the person's estate
and any such payments so made shall be a complete discharge of Minntech to the
extent made.

     7.7  NOTICES.  Notices required by this Plan to be given to Minntech or a
Participant shall be in writing and shall be considered to have been duly given
or served if personally delivered, or sent by first class, certified or
registered mail.

     7.8  SEVERABILITY.  The invalidity or partial invalidity of any portion of
this Plan shall not invalidate the remainder thereof, and such remainder shall
remain in full force and effect.

     7.9  WITHHOLDING OF TAXES.  It is anticipated that federal, state, local
and other taxes will not be withheld from the Consulting Compensation paid in
accordance with the Plan.  However, the Consulting Compensation shall be subject
to the deduction of federal, state or local income taxes or other taxes which
are required to be withheld by applicable laws and regulations, either as
currently in effect or as may be adopted or amended in the future.

     7.10 GOVERNING LAW.  Construction and administration of this Plan shall be
governed by the laws of the State of Minnesota, except to the extent such laws
are preempted by federal law.

     4.   PROTECTION OF TRADE SECRETS, KNOW-HOW AND/OR OTHER CONFIDENTIAL

     a.   CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.  Except as permitted or directed by the
Company's Board of Directors, during the term of this Agreement or at any time
thereafter Consultant shall not divulge, furnish or make accessible to anyone or
use in any way (other than in the ordinary course of the business of the
Company) any confidential or secret knowledge or information of the Company
which Consultant has acquired or become acquainted with or will acquire or
become acquainted with prior to the termination of the period of his employment
by the Company (including employment by the Company or any affiliated companies
prior to the date of this Agreement), whether developed by himself or by others,
concerning any trade secrets, confidential or secret designs, processes,
formulae, plans, devices or material (whether or not patented or patentable)
directly or indirectly useful in any aspect of the business of the Company, any
customer or supplier lists of the Company, any confidential or secret
development or research work of the Company, or any other confidential
information or secret aspects of the business of the Company.  Consultant
acknowledges that the above-described knowledge or information constitutes a
unique and valuable asset of the Company acquired at great time and expense by
the Company and its predecessors, and that any disclosure or other use of such
knowledge or information other than for the sole benefit of the Company would be
wrongful and would cause irreparable harm to the Company.  Both during and after
the term of this Agreement, Consultant will refrain from any acts or omissions
that would reduce the value of such knowledge or information to the Company.
The foregoing obligations of confi-dentiality, however, shall not apply to any
knowledge or information which is now published or which subsequently becomes
generally publicly known in the form in which it was obtained from the Company,
other than as a direct or indirect result of the breach of this Agreement by
Consultant.




<PAGE>

     b.   KNOW-HOW AND TRADE SECRETS.  All know-how and trade secret information
conceived or originated by Consultant which arises out of the performance of his
obligations or responsibilities under this Agreement or any related material or
information shall be the property of the Company, and all rights therein are by
this Agreement assigned to the Company.

     5.   TERMINATION. Notwithstanding any contrary provision contained
elsewhere in this Agreement, this Agreement and the rights and obligations of
the Company and Consultant hereunder shall be terminated upon the occurrence
of any of the following events:

     a.   Immediately in the event of Consultant's death;

     b.   The Consultant is unable or refuses to perform his or her duties under
this Agreement; or

     c.   The Consultant commits any act which constitutes a felony or gross
misdemeanor or which the Board of Directors determines in its sole discretion is
harmful to the business, operations or reputation of the Company. In the event
this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 5, all rights to receive
the Consulting Compensation hereunder shall terminate on the date of any such
termination.

     6.   MISCELLANEOUS.

     a.   ASSIGNMENT.  This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the
parties hereunder shall not be assignable, in whole or in part, by either party.

     b.   GOVERNING LAW.  This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in
accordance with the laws of the state of Minnesota.

     c.   ENTIRE AGREEMENT.  This Agreement evidences the entire understanding
and agreement of the parties hereto relative to the consulting arrangement
between Consultant and the Company and the other matters discussed herein.  This
Agreement supersedes any and all other agreements and understandings, whether
written or oral, relative to the matters discussed herein.  This Agreement may
only be amended by a written document signed by both Consultant and the Company.

     d.   INJUNCTIVE RELIEF.  Consultant acknowledges that it would be difficult
to fully compensate the Company for damages resulting from any breach by
Consultant of the provisions of Section 4 of


<PAGE>

this Agreement.  Accordingly, in the event of any actual or threatened breach of
such provisions, the Company shall (in addition to any other remedies that it
may have) be entitled to temporary and/or permanent injunctive relief to enforce
such provisions, and such relief may be granted without the necessity of proving
actual damages.

     e.  SEVERABILITY.  To the extent any provision of this Agreement shall be
determined to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be deleted from
this Agreement, and the validity and enforceability of the remainder of such
provision and of this Agreement shall be unaffected.

     f.  STATUS OF CONSULTANT.  In rendering services pursuant to this
Agreement, Consultant shall be acting as an independent contractor and not as an
employee or agent of the Company.  As an independent contractor, Consultant
shall have no authority, express or implied, to commit or obligate the Company
in any manner whatsoever, except as specifically authorized from time to time in
writing by an authorized representative of the Company, which authorization may
be general or specific.  Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed
or applied to create a partnership.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, The Company and Consultant have executed this Agreement
as of the date first set forth above.
