                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                        THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997



Note A - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


   Basis of Presentation:

The financial statements have been prepared by the Company, without audit by
independent certified public accountants, in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles for interim financial information and pursuant to the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations since the Company
believes that the disclosures contained herein are adequate to make the
information presented not misleading.

These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and notes included in the Company's 1996 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
In the opinion of the Company, all adjustments, consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position of the
Company as of March 31, 1997, as well as the results of operations and the cash
flows for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, have been included.

The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of the results for the full year.


   Inventory:

The Company measures inventory and cost of sales for interim financial
statements by use of a historically developed gross profit percentage. Annually,
the Company adjusts the inventory to reflect the results of a physical count.


   Net Income Per Share:

Net income per share and the dilutive effect on net income per share of
potentially dilutive stock options are computed by the treasury stock method.
Common stock equivalents result from the assumed issuance of shares under stock
option plans.


   Cash Flows:

For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly
liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be
cash equivalents. The change in assets and liabilities in the operating section
of the statement of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 1997, is
reflected net of the effects of the acquisitions consummated.

                        THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997



Note B - Acquisitions


On February 14, 1997, the Company purchased substantially all of the assets and
assumed certain liabilities of Omega Professional Services, Inc. (OMEGA), a Utah
based equipment leasing company, in exchange for 200,000 shares of common stock
of the Company valued at $2,800,000. The excess of cost over the fair value of
assets acquired (goodwill) was approximately $2,831,000 and is being amortized
over twenty years on a straight-line basis.

On February 21, 1997, the Company purchased substantially all of the assets and
assumed certain liabilities of S. B. Service, a Connecticut based sterilization
equipment repair company, in exchange for 65,000 shares of common stock of the
Company valued at $910,000. The excess of cost over the fair value of assets
acquired (goodwill) was approximately $934,000 and is being amortized over
twenty years on a straight-line basis.

These acquisitions were accounted for under the purchase method of accounting.
The accompanying statements of income for 1997 include the operations of OMEGA
and S. B. Service since the date of acquisition. The effect of these
acquisitions on the Company's results of operations on a pro forma basis was not

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

Results of Operations

Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 1997 ("Current Quarter") were
$60,181,000, an increase of $5,721,000, or 10.5%, over the three months ended
March 31, 1996 ("Prior Quarter"). The $5,721,000 increase in net sales was
primarily due to increased unit sales and, to a lesser extent, price increases.
The growth in unit sales was generated primarily by increased penetration in
existing markets and the acquisitions of Mountain West Dental Company, Inc. and
Capital Dental Supply, Inc., which occurred in September and November of 1996,
respectively.

Sales of dental supplies comprised 70.0% of net sales in the Current Quarter
versus 70.6% during the Prior Quarter. Sales of dental equipment constituted
23.3% of net sales in the first quarter of 1997 versus 22.3% in such period in
1996. The balance of sales in each period consisted primarily of repair service
and parts.


Gross profit rose $2,094,000, or 11.2%, in the Current Quarter compared to the
Prior Quarter, primarily as the result of increased sales. Gross profit as a
percentage of net sales increased to 34.4% in the first quarter of 1997 compared
to 34.2% for the same period in 1996 primarily as a result of more efficient
buying programs and, to a lesser degree, from revenue from SDP Financial, which
is the equipment leasing operation that was developed in conjunction with the
acquisition of Omega Professional Services, Inc., a Utah based equipment leasing
company ("Omega").

Operating expenses rose $1,489,000, or 9.0%, to $17,956,000, in the Current
Quarter compared to $16,467,000 in the Prior Quarter but, more significantly,
decreased as a percentage of net sales to 29.8% from 30.2% over the same period
last year. Of this increase in operating expenses, $924,000 resulted from
increased salaries and commissions due to higher sales creating higher
commissions.

Operating income in the Current Quarter increased $605,000 from the Prior
Quarter due to the increase in sales and better control of operating expenses.
Interest expense decreased by $135,000 to $11,000 primarily due to reduced use
of the Company's credit line.

Net income increased by $469,000 or 34.1%, in the first three months of 1997 as
compared to such period in 1996. Net income per share rose to $.18 for the first
quarter of 1997 from $.15 per share in such quarter of 1996. Such increases to
net income and income per share are due to the factors identified above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company, pursuant to a stock repurchase plan which authorized the purchase
of up to 500,000 shares, has purchased through March 31, 1997, 300,000 shares of
its common stock from the public at various prices with an average price of
approximately $9.38 per share, which repurchases total $2,813,750.

Working capital at March 31, 1997 was $55,845,000, an increase of $1,644,000
from December 31, 1996, reflecting net income of $1,846,000, reduced by
dividends of $498,000.

Inventory rose $905,000 or 2.2%, from December 31, 1996.

Cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 1997 increased by $3,117,000 from
December 31, 1996. Cash was used for equipment purchases ($287,000), purchase of
treasury stock ($275,000) and to pay dividends ($484,000) and was primarily
provided by operations ($3,908,000) and stock options exercised ($211,000).

Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31,
1997, of $3,908,000 was primarily as a result of net income adjusted for
depreciation and bad debts and a decrease in accounts receivable offset by a
decrease in accrued expenses.

Other assets, net of amortization, as of March 31, 1997 increased $3,548,000 to
$19,932,000 compared to $16,384,000 at December 31, 1996. This increase is due
to the goodwill attributable to the acquisition of Omega in the amount of
$2,831,000 and S.B. Service in the amount of $934,000 offset by the amortization
of goodwill and customer lists in the amount of $214,000.

The Company expects that the $23,000,000 of available lines of credit, against
which there were no borrowings as of March 31, 1997, together with internally
generated funds, is sufficient to meet currently foreseeable short-term and
long-term liquidity and capital needs of the Company.

On February 14, 1997, the Company purchased substantially all of the assets and
assumed certain liabilities of Omega in exchange for 200,000 shares of common
stock of the Company as more fully described in the footnotes to the financial
statements.

On February 21, 1997, the Company purchased substantially all of the assets and
assumed certain liabilities of S.B. Service, a Connecticut based sterilization
equipment repair company, in exchange for 65,000 shares of common stock of the
Company as more fully described in the footnotes to the financial statements.

On March 20, 1997, the Company declared a cash dividend of $.05 per share for
stockholders of record on April 10, 1997 which dividend was payable on April 21,
1997.

The Company had short term investments of $3,500,000 at March 31, 1997, compared
to $500,000 at December 31, 1996. This increase was due to collection of
accounts receivable from the fourth quarter of 1996.

Accounts receivable of $31,374,000 at March 31, 1997, decreased $3,719,000, or
10.6%, compared to December 31, 1996.
