                        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, 1999 and 1998, 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
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 completed 1,000 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
     DCA is the Plan Administrator.  Schwab Institutional is the trustee of 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. Discretionary
     contributions made to the Plan by the Company during each Plan year ended
     March 31, 1999 and 1998 were $580,952 and $648,826, respectively.

     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.

     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.


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, With Fund
     Information includes both realized and unrealized gains and losses.

     Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis.
     Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on
     the ex-dividend date.

     ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
     Administrative expenses paid by the Plan for the years ended March 31, 1999
     and 1998 were $36,658 and $20,822, respectively. Administrative expenses
     for legal, auditing, and administration costs have been fully paid by the
     Company at its discretion.

     USE OF ESTIMATES
     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
     accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
     assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
     disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
     financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
     during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
     estimates.

     RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
     The Plan provides for various investment options in any combination of
     stocks, bonds and other investment securities. Investment securities are
     exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market and credit. Due to
     the level of risk associated with certain investment securities and the
     level of uncertainty related to changes in the value of investment
     securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in risks in the
     near term would materially affect participants' account balances and the
     amounts reported in the Statement of Net Assets Available for Benefits and
     the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits, With Fund
     Information.


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. The Plan has been amended since
     receiving the determination letter. However, the Plan administrator and the
     Plan's tax counsel believe that the Plan is designed and is currently being
     operated in compliance with the applicable provisions of the IRC.
