                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                              September 30, 1996



(1) Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited financial statements include all adjustments
(consisting only of normal recurring accruals) which are, in the opinion of
management, necessary for fair presentation of the results of operations for
the periods presented.  Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the
results to be expected for a full year.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements, prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, have been condensed or omitted as allowed by Form 10-Q.  The
accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements for the year
ended December 31, 1995 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
Form 10-K.

Item 2.

          Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
                           and Results of Operations


Liquidity and Capital Resources

Working capital increased from $7,557,000 at December 31, 1995 to
$9,580,000 at September 30, 1996.  Cash and equivalents increased $307,000 from
$4,193,000 at December 31, 1995.  Operating activities provided $2,702,000 in
cash flow for the nine months ended September 30,1996. Cash outflows related to
dental laboratory acquisitions totaled $1,818,000 for the same period.

The Company maintains a financing agreement (the "Agreement") with State
Street Bank and Trust Company (the "Bank").  The Agreement, as amended,
includes revolving lines of credit of $4,000,000 and $8,000,000.  The interest
rate on both revolving lines of credit is the prime rate or Libor rate plus 2%,
at the Company's option.  The first revolving line of credit matures on June 1,
1998 and the second revolving line of credit matures on June 1, 1997.  A
commitment fee of one quarter of 1% is payable on the unused amount of the
first revolving line of credit.  In addition, a draw down fee equal to 3/8 of
1% of each advance under the second revolving line of credit is payable at the
time of such advance.  At September 30, 1996, the full principal amount was
available to the Company under both revolving lines of credit.

Management believes that existing working capital and financing will be
sufficient to meet contemplated operating and capital requirements, including
costs associated with anticipated acquisitions, if any, in the foreseeable
future.

This Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  The Company's actual results
could differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements.
Certain factors that could affect capital expenditures, the Company's
requirements for capital and the costs associated with anticipated acquisitions
include general economic conditions, the availability of laboratories for
purchase by the Company, the ability of the Company to acquire and successfully
operate additional dental laboratories, governmental regulation of health care,
other factors affecting patient visits to the Company's clients, and other
risks indicated in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

</TABLE>

Nine Months Ended September 30, 1996 Compared with Nine Months Ended September
30, 1995

Net Sales

Net sales increased $6,971,000 or 21.7% in the nine months ended September
30, 1996 over the corresponding period of the prior year.  Approximately
$6,023,000 of this increase is attributable to businesses owned less than one
year, with the remaining increase representing unit growth at dental
laboratories owned during both the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and the
comparison nine months ended September 30, 1995.

During the three month period ended September 30, 1996, net sales increased
$2,258,000 or 21.1% over the corresponding period of the prior year.
Approximately $1,843,000 of this increase is attributable to businesses owned
less than one year, with the remaining increase representing unit growth at
dental laboratories owned during both the three months ended September 30, 1996
and the comparison three months ended September 30, 1995.

<PAGE> 10

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold, which consists principally of labor and related
benefits, cost of materials, and laboratory overhead, increased by $4,236,000.
As a percentage of sales, cost of goods sold increased from 55.9% to 56.8%,
representing a gross margin decrease of .9%.  A portion of the gross margin
decrease is attributable to the integration of laboratories acquired after
September 30, 1995 with the Company's other laboratories.

Total Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses, which consist of (i) selling expenses, the cost
of the Company's pick-up and delivery services and administrative expenses at
the dental laboratory level, and (ii) costs of operation by the Company's
corporate headquarters and field support services, increased by $1,959,000 or
18.8% during the nine months ended September 30, 1996 over the corresponding
period in 1995.

The increase is primarily attributable to the operating and amortization
expense associated with acquired dental laboratories.  Operating expenses
decreased as a percentage of net sales from 32.5% to 31.7% during the nine
months ended September 30, 1996 over the corresponding period in 1995.


Operating Income

Operating income increased by $775,000 or 20.8% for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 over the corresponding period in 1995.  The increase was the
result of higher sales volume and reductions in operating expenses as a
percentage of net sales, offset by a slight increase in cost of goods sold.


Interest Income

Interest income decreased by $117,000 or 56.5% in the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 over the corresponding period in 1995.  The decrease was due
to lower interest rates for short-term liquid investments and decreased
investment principal.


Provision for Income Taxes

The Company's provision for income taxes for nine months ended September
30, 1996 increased to $1,863,000 from $1,622,000 in the corresponding period in
1995.  The effective tax rate decreased slighly from 40.0% to 39.6%.


Net Income

As a result of the factors discussed above, net income for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996 increased by $410,000 or 16.9% over the corresponding
period in 1995.  Net income per share increased from $0.72 per share to $0.81
per share.
