INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


To the Board of Directors of Deluxe Corporation

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets acquired of Colwell,
an operating division of Deluxe Corporation (the Seller), as of December 31,
1995 and 1994 and the related statements of revenues and direct operating
expenses for the years then ended.  These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Seller's management.  Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards 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.  An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The accompanying statements were prepared to present the net assets acquired and
revenues and direct operating expenses of Colwell, an operating division of the
Seller, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement described in Note 1, and are not
intended to be a complete presentation of Colwell's financial position and
results of operations.

In our opinion, the accompanying statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the net assets acquired of Colwell as of December 31, 1995 and 1994
and its revenues and direct operating expenses for the years then ended pursuant
to the Purchase Agreement described in Note 1, in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles.

  COLWELL
  (AN OPERATING DIVISION OF DELUXE CORPORATION)

  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
  YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 AND 1994
  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

      Colwell, an operating division of Deluxe Corporation (the Seller),
      produces and sells insurance and billing forms, record-keeping and filing
      systems, reference materials, clinical supplies, and a variety of other
      products.  The primary market segment is small health care providers,
      including medical, dental, and chiropractic offices.

      Basis of Presentation - The accompanying statements of net assets
      acquired and statements of revenues and direct operating expenses have
      been prepared pursuant to Section 11.03 of the Asset Purchase Agreement
      (the Purchase Agreement) between Patterson Dental Company (the Buyer) and
      the Seller dated September 12, 1996.  Section 11.03 of the Purchase
      Agreement requires the Seller to prepare statements of net assets acquired
      as of December 31, 1995 and 1994 and statements of revenues and direct
      operating expenses for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994,
      determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

      The statements include all revenues and costs and expenses directly
      incurred by, or related to, Colwell, including depreciation and rental
      costs related to facilities used in the business and payroll-based
      employee benefits.  Costs and expenses also include allocated charges for
      the corporate profit sharing and pension expense.  The costs of
      administrative and marketing personnel and facilities in certain locations
      are shared with, and allocated among, other Deluxe Corporation business
      units.  The statements do not reflect corporate income taxes or the cost
      of certain other corporate services provided, such as legal, treasury,
      certain information systems costs, tax planning, shareholder services, and
      financing.  The various allocated costs and expenses, as described herein,
      are not necessarily indicative of the costs and expenses that would have
      resulted had Colwell been operated as a separate company.

                                       7

  2.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

      Revenue Recognition - Substantially all revenues are recognized upon
      shipment of product to customers with appropriate provision for
      uncollectible accounts.

      Inventory - Inventory is included at the lower of cost, on the last-in,
      first-out (LIFO) method, or market.  LIFO inventories at December 31, 1995
      and 1994 were approximately $646,000 and $486,000, respectively, less than
      replacement cost.  The cost of inventory includes material only, as the
      labor and overhead cost associated with processed inventory is deemed
      immaterial for capitalization by Colwell.

      Property, Plant, and Equipment - Property, plant, and equipment are
      stated at cost.  Buildings with 40-year lives and machinery and equipment
      with lives of 5 to 11 years are generally depreciated using accelerated
      methods.  Leasehold and building improvements are depreciated on a
      straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the property or the
      life of the lease, whichever is shorter.

      Intangibles - Intangibles include a customer data file which the Seller
      purchased in 1985 when it acquired Colwell.  The intangible is shown in
      the statements of net assets acquired, net of amortization determined on
      the straight-line basis.  The amortization period is 15 years.
      Intangibles are as follows at December 31:

</TABLE>

      Impairment of Long-Lived Assets - Effective January 1, 1995, Colwell
      adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, Accounting
      for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be
      Disposed Of.  Colwell evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets by
      measuring the unamortized balance of the long-lived assets against
      estimated future cash flows.  At the time such evaluations indicate that
      undiscounted estimated future cash flows of certain long-lived assets are
      not sufficient to recover the carrying value of such assets, the assets
      will be adjusted to their fair value.  Based on current evaluations, there
      were no adjustments to the carrying value of long-lived assets in 1995.

                                       8
<PAGE>
 
      Deferred Advertising - In accordance with the provisions of American
      Institute of Certified Public Accountants' Statement of Position No. 93-7,
      Colwell estimates and defers certain costs related to direct-response
      advertising of its products.  These costs consist of materials,
      production, postage, and design costs required to produce catalogs for
      Colwell's direct mail businesses.  Such costs are amortized over periods
      (generally less than 12 months) that correspond to the estimated revenue
      stream of the individual catalogs.  Actual results could differ from the
      estimates noted above.  The total amount charged to expense for the years
      ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 was $4,073,352 and $5,159,588,
      respectively.

      Current Liabilities Assumed - Pursuant to Section 1.03 of the Purchase
      Agreement, the Buyer has agreed to assume up to $1,500,000 of certain of
      Colwell's liabilities.  These liabilities include accrued profit sharing
      and vacation for those who are employed by Colwell immediately preceding
      the closing date and who are hired by the Buyer and other current
      liabilities.  The financial statements reflect a total of $1,500,000 of
      liabilities at December 31, 1995 and 1994, as the total division assumable
      liabilities are in excess of the $1,500,000 at those dates.

      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.

  3.  LEASE COMMITMENTS

      Minimum future rental payments for leased equipment under noncancelable
      operating leases for the five years ending December 31, 2000 are
      approximately $130,000, $50,000, $22,000, $13,000, and $3,000. There are
      no lease commitments extending past the year 2000.  Rental expense was
      $316,500 and $345,429 for 1995 and 1994, respectively.

  4.  FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

      The carrying value of accounts receivable and current liabilities
      assumed approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these
      instruments.

  5.  RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

      Purchases of inventory from Deluxe Corporation divisions and affiliated
      companies were $2,554,000 and $2,327,000, respectively, for the years
      ended December 31, 1995 and 1994.

  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
  SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 AND 1995
  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------



  1.  In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial
  statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the net assets
  acquired as of June 30, 1996, and the results of revenues and direct operating
  expenses for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995.  Such adjustments
  are of a normal recurring nature.  The results of revenues and direct
  operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, are not
  necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.  These
  financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial
  statements for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 included herein.

                           PATTERSON DENTAL COMPANY
             Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements


  The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements
  give effect to the acquisition by Patterson Dental Company (the "Company") of
  Colwell (an operating division of Deluxe Corporation) ("Colwell") using the
  purchase method of accounting, and are based on estimates and assumptions set
  forth below and in the notes to such statements, which include pro forma
  adjustments. These pro forma financial statements are based upon the
  historical financial statements of Patterson Dental Company, adjusted to give
  effect to the acquisition of Colwell on October 1, 1996.

  A pro forma consolidated balance sheet has not been presented herein as the
  acquisition is reflected in the October 26, 1996 Condensed Consolidated
  Balance Sheet of Patterson Dental Company. Such balance sheet reflects the
  application of purchase accounting adjustments to the historical balance sheet
  of Colwell. The aggregate purchase price of Colwell was $61.1 million  
  allocated $6.1 million to accounts receivable, $2.3 million to inventory, $.6
  million to prepaid assets, $9.7 million to property and equipment, $16.3
  million to customer lists and trade names, $27.2 million to goodwill, and $1.1
  million to accrued expenses. The pro forma Condensed Consolidated Statements
  of Income for the year ended April 27, 1996 and the six months ended October
  26, 1996 give effect to the acquisition as if it had occurred at the beginning
  of the periods presented. Such statements are based on historical statements
  of revenues and direct operating expenses of Colwell for the year ended
  December 31, 1995 and five months ended September 30, 1996. The operating
  results of Colwell are included in the Company's financial statements from the
  date of acquisition, October 1, 1996.

  The pro forma adjustments are based upon preliminary estimates, available
  information and certain assumptions that management deemed appropriate;
  however, management does not expect the final purchase price allocation to
  materially differ from the above amounts. The unaudited pro forma consolidated
  financial information does not profess to represent the Company's results of
  operations had the above transaction, in fact, occurred on these dates, or to
  project the Company's combined results of operations for any date or period.
  The pro forma consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction
  with the Company's historical financial statements and notes thereto.
