                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


To the Participants and Administrator
  of the Minntech Corporation
  Profit Sharing and Retirement Plan and Trust

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of net assets available for benefits
and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits, with
fund information, present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets
available for benefits of the Minntech Corporation Profit Sharing and Retirement
Plan and Trust at March 31, 1996 and 1995, and the changes in net assets
available for benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.  These financial statements are the
responsibility of the plan's management; our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.  We conducted our
audits of these statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic 
financial statements taken as a whole.  The additional information included 
in Schedules I and II is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is 
not a required part of the basic financial statements but is additional 
information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations of 
Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 
1974.  The Fund Information in the statement of changes in net assets 
available for benefits is presented for purposes of additional analysis 
rather than to present the changes in net assets available for benefits of 
each fund.  Schedules I and II and the Fund Information have been subjected 
to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial 
statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in 
relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

                              MINNTECH CORPORATION
                  PROFIT SHARING AND RETIREMENT PLAN AND TRUST
                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

The Minntech Corporation Profit Sharing and Retirement Plan and Trust (the Plan)
is fully described in the "Minntech Corporation Profit Sharing and Retirement
Plan and Trust" Plan Agreement.

PARTICIPATION

The Plan is a defined contribution plan for Minntech Corporation's (the Company)
employees.  Employees are eligible to participate in the Plan after the employee
has both:

(a)   attained twenty-one years of age, and

(b)   completed 1000 or more hours during 12 consecutive months.

Certain employees are not eligible if employed under a collective bargaining
agreement with a labor union unless that agreement expressly provides for the
employee's coverage under the Plan.

ADMINISTRATION

The Company is the Plan Administrator.  To assist the Company as the Plan
Administrator, the Plan provides for the appointment of an Administrative
Committee, which consists of officers/shareholders of the Company.  Separate
officers and shareholders of the Company are the trustees (the Trustees) of the
Plan.  Fidelity Investments is an agent of the Trustees and is the investment
custodian for the Plan.

CONTRIBUTIONS

Eligible participants may invest 1% to 10% of their annual compensation, with
the Company matching 10% of the first 6% of employee contributions.

The Company may also make discretionary contributions to the Plan each year
based upon the financial performance of the Company.  The Company is not
required to make a contribution in any Plan year.

Contributions are credited to each qualifying participant's account, based on
the proportion of their recognized compensation, as defined, to the total
recognized compensation of all qualifying participants.  Contributions are fully
funded on an annual basis, following the Plan's fiscal year-end.


                                       F-6

<PAGE>


DISTRIBUTIONS

Distributions are made to vested employees after retirement or termination from
the Company.

VESTING

When employment ends, the participants are vested in all, some or none of their
account balance, depending upon various factors, including the participant's age
and length of service.  Any non-vested portion of the account balance will be
forfeited and added to the remaining qualified participants' accounts, in
proportion to which a qualified participant's recognized compensation bears to
the total recognized compensation of all qualifying participants.

A qualifying participant vests twenty percent after three years, an additional
twenty percent for each of years four, five, six and seven.  A participant is
fully vested after seven years of service or upon retirement at age sixty-five
or upon death or disability.

The Company may elect to terminate the Plan at any time.  In the event the
Company elects to terminate the Plan, all participant account balances become
fully vested.

PARTICIPANT LOANS

Participants may borrow from their accounts at a minimum of $1,000 up to a
maximum of the lesser amount of $50,000 or 50% of their vested account balance.
The loans are secured by the vested balance in the participants' accounts and
bear interest at the prime interest rate.  Loans must be repaid over a period of
five to ten years.


NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

The financial statements of the plan are prepared on the accrual basis of
accounting.

INVESTMENTS

Investments are recorded at fair market value, as determined by quoted prices in
an active market.  Net appreciation of investments reported in the Statement of
Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits includes both realized and
unrealized gains and losses.

ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

Currently, no administrative expenses are paid by the Plan.  Administrative
expenses for legal, auditing, and administration costs have been fully paid by
the Company at its discretion.


                                       F-7

NOTE 3 - FEDERAL INCOME TAX STATUS

The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Company by letter
dated November 30, 1993 that the Plan qualifies under the applicable sections of
the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) and is, therefore, not subject to tax under
present income tax law.
